Thalia P.O.V
'Shit' I thought as I struggled against the bonds. I looked around to check on the other hunters. We were all huddled together in the large cage that those bastards tossed us in. I couldn't even belive that they had managed to get the drop on us. Artemis was on Olympus for a meeting and we had set up camp. Then everything went to hell. Flashbangs flew in from nowhere and blinded us all. I felt I singing pain in my shoulder and when I reached back there I pulled out a little dart like bullet then everything went black.

Two guys walked over to the door and unlocked it. They pulled it open with a screech of old rusty metal. "The boss wants to see that one, grab her." One said to the other gesturing to me.

The other thug walked over and grabbed my arm and yanked me up painfully. As I growled in pain another hunter jumped up and kicked him in the side. You could hear the crack of his rib breaking as he fell to the ground. "No!" I screamed as the other one drew his gun and shot the hunter in the shoulder. "All of you sit the fuck down or the next one is between the eyes."

As a couple hunters crawled to the wounded one i was dragged out by both of the thugs and tossed to the ground. "Go get that checked out man I will have John help me take this bitch to the boss." As he walked away holding his side tenderly I felt the cold barrel of a gun pressed against the back of my head.

"Now your going to follow me while John walks behind you with a gun to your head so don't try anything funny got it" he said.

I nodded slowly and he seemed a bit disappointed that I didn't say anything so he could hit me. As we walked through some tents I looked around and counted about 50 mortals armed with fully automatic assault rifles a few had machetes or large knives and... Wait is that a bazooka! Finally we arrived at a tent larger than the rest. John kicked me in the back so I fell into the tent. "Pick her up" a deep voice said.

Two pairs of rough hands grabbed my arms and held me into a kneeling position. The man that stood before me looked about 40, bald, had a scar on his face and was built like a mountain. "How many hunters did you have with you? Did any escape our ambush?" He questioned me.

"Do you honestly think I will answer you pig?" I growl at him.

He just shrugged "it was worth a shot" he walked over to me and knelt down in front of me so we were eye level "now you are going to tell me what I want to know or.... Im going to have to spill some blood... A lot of blood."

In response I learned my head back and smashed forward into his nose. He fell back with a yell and a spray of blood from his nose. Then someone's fist slammed into my face and I tasted a metallic taste in my mouth. I spit out blood from my split lip and glared at the thug that punched me. I froze when I heard the sound of a pistol being cocked. I quickly looked at the boss that had blood running freely from his nose as he pointed a solid silver gun at me. "This gun is special you know, it and the bullets are special made steel, celestial bronze, and a few other rare choice metals were used to make it, I call kill anything with it. Let's see what it will do to you." I squeezed my eyes shut.

Bang. bang. Thump. Thump. There was no pain. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around John and the other guy that was holding me were lying on the ground with blood dripping from a hole in the middle of the foreheads. I heard laughing sounds come from in front of me and when I looked I saw the boss tilting his head back laughing insanely. "Did you honestly think I would kill you for that hahaha haha no no your far more useful alive."

He slid his gun back into its holster on his leg and pulled a long knife about a foot and a half long almost a short sword from his back and slowly walked towards me. To say I was freaked out was an understatement. He just killed his own guys. And he didn't care. What the Hades is going on. He grab my arm and pulled me up. Then three other guys bust in through the tent opening with assault rifles "what's going on... Wait who are you how did you get in here?" One asked.

I looked at the guy holding me but it wasn't the scarred bald guy anymore he was about 6'5" and lean instead of bulky and had a dark cloak with a hood that covered his eyes. "Oh well I just killed those two for hitting and mistreating a lady and im sorry but I can't wait I have stuff to do sorry. My name is Talon my friends call me Tal but you can't I don't really know you yet maybe we hang out for a little while though maybe... Anyway I got in here by casting an illusion on my self to look like your guys boss after I cut off his head and string him up in a tree he he." Talon said with a soft giggle at the end

" Wh-... What?" They said completely baffled and confused.

"Sigh im not going to say it again" Talon muttered grumpily as he took out some throwing knives and flicked his hand at them.

I stood there baffled as all three of them feel to the ground with a knife in their chests. Suddenly my bonds were cut and u could feel my hands again. I looked at Talon as he took a step back from cutting my ropes. "Better now?" he asked me softly.

"What's going on?" I ask him "who were those guys?"

"Mmhh they were mortals hired by someone to capture the hunters of Artemis alive most likely by a certain giant that is made to fight said goddess but what do I know im just a dumb male right?" He turned his head in my direction "now you stay here I have to finish my job... If you step outside this tent I can't promise you will be alive when im done."

"Are you saying I can't take them on well I have some news fo-" I started saying angrily until he cut me off. "Im saying that if you step outside this tent while im in a killing frenzy I won't be able to recognize you and stop myself from ripping you to pieces." He said an a dark tone walking close towards me, backing me up.

"Now stay here and wait for me to finish slaughtering these pigs OK I promise i will be extra violent to them for you, also one more thing." He said and reached up and placed his index fingers on either side of my head, on my temples. "The one that shot your hunter, I will save him just for you girls OK? OK. Well todolo see you in a little bit." He waved his fingers over his shoulder he walked away.

'what the Hades just happened' I thought to me self. Then I heard all hell break loss outside the tent.
