This chapter is dedicated to Thug_Pug_Wants_Hugs for answering first correctly. The answer is.........................

Jesse McCartney was playing and Thalia wanted Green Day to play.

Thalia's P.O.V
Percy turned his gaze to Krios and his smile instantly widened. Krios' mouth opened and closed like a dead fish. His hands were trembling as Percy advanced.
"Well I'll be damned." Artemis muttered, looking almost... awe filled?
"But you... you should be dead!" Krios' voice shook, fear almost radiating off of him.
"Yeah well, you gotta try a little harder than that to kill me." Percy transformed into a wolf, baring his teeth in a snarl. Krios took an involuntary step back and Percy lunged, his teeth flashing in the darkness. The fight barely lasted a minute, ending with Percy's claws digging through the Titan's chest and his teeth ripping out his throat. He exploded into dust and Percy licked his bloodstained jaws, before transforming into a human again. He turned his ring into a sword and walked towards us. He sliced through my chains, before I tackled him in a hug.
"Miss me?" He chuckled. I could barely speak, tears running down my face. I just nodded. "Alright, now let me go." He laughed again. I let go and he cut through Artemis' and Phoebe's chains.
"How did you survive?" Artemis questioned.
"The bottom of the cliff is water. I was almost dead when I fell, but the sea water saved me." He answered. "Now lets go before the rest of the hunt is lured into the trap."

Atlanta's P.O.V
We were fighting for our lives against endless waves of monsters. Almost all of our arrows had run out, and now we were left with only our other weapons. Wave after wave of monsters came rushing at the hunt. I slashed down a cyclops with my daggers, before impaling a hellhound on the head. Both of them exploded into dust, but another three monsters took their place. I saw Elizabeth fall beneath a group of Empousai, but Kellan rushed forward, slashing them to pieces, before she too was brought down by a manticore. We're being slaughtered. A hellhound leapt towards me, bowling me over and landing on my chest. It lunged at my throat, but something hit it away. I looked up to see Monos shredding the monster apart.
"Thank the gods you're here." I breathed. He chuckled, grinning wolfishly.
"Yeah, and I brought reinforcements." He gestured to three other girls fighting together against the monsters. I identified them as Thalia, Artemis and Phoebe.
"Close your eyes!" Artemis' voiced echoed throughout the clearing and every hunter closed their eyes as she released her true form. When I opened my eyes again, the monsters were gone, dust littering the ground. A few hunters lay on the ground, covered in blood. Kellan, Elizabeth, Julia... I identified some more. Artemis knelt beside them, muttering a prayer for the dead. I wiped away the tears rolling down my cheeks. "We should've gotten here sooner." Artemis muttered, standing up again.
"We couldn't have." Monos murmured to her. She just nodded solemnly.
"We must go back to camp Half Blood."

Percy's P.O.V
"Will you ever tell Annabeth who you are?" Thalia questioned. I just shrugged, staring out at the lake.
"Maybe. When I'm ready to." I answered simply.
"Are you going to stay at here camp?" She asked. I gave her a lopsided grin.
"Why would I? I'm happy where I am now, with the hunt." She smiled back at me.
"The others are going to miss you." She stated. I nodded.
"I know. But I'll visit them."
"You better." Piper's voice came from behind us. Thalia jumped, but I just sighed.
"Yep. I'm with Piper." Nico said, stepping out of a shadow.
"Why is everyone spying on me these days?" I groaned.
"We do it cause we love ya, Perce." Leo yelled from the trees. I rolled my eyes. Jason and Piper sat next to us while Leo jumped onto Festus' back and started flying overhead. I turned into a wolf, before crouching next to Thalia. "Get on." She raised an eyebrow, before climbing on my back.
"Where are we going?" She asked. I just gave her a wolfish grin.
"For a swim, Pinecone Face." Her eyes widened as I darted forward and plunged into the water. We rose to the surface again, Thalia choking and spluttering. The others laughed.
"Give me more of a warning next time!" We looked up just in time to see Leo jump from Festus' back and towards the water.
"CANNONBALL!"
