Percy was seriously confused. They had been at Rebekah's house and everything was going well until Kol showed up. Percy's first impression of him had been okay, but he had noticed a certain cold air about Kol, and the way Rebekah reacted to him was not normal. She seemed worried- no- frightened to see her brother. The siblings had started out civil, but then it seemed like Rebekah hadn't wanted her brother to know where she was. Percy couldn't fathom why that would be, though. Then they started talking about that Nik guy, or was his name Klaus. Percy wasn't sure. They both seemed afraid and Kol was clearly accusing Rebekah of something.

I hope I didn't say anything that I wasn't supposed to. Percy thought. The change in both siblings after he had made the connection between Rebekah's phone call and the current conversation was worrying him.

Rebekah knew that she couldn't feign ignorance anymore after Percy mentioned Nik's phone call, but Kol hadn't made a move. Before he could do anything reckless or destructive, Rebekah jumped up, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the room and into the hall, "What are you doing here Kol?" She spoke in a hushed voice so no one but her brother would hear her.

"I already told you!" he replied in the same hushed tone. If looks were white oak stakes, Rebekah would be quite dead. Kol was glaring with ever increasing intensity and Rebekah was watching him with caution lest he might explode. "Nik came after me because you told him I stole the dagger. I barely escaped. He was going to dagger me." While he was speaking, Kol grabbed Rebekah's upper arms, and held her in an iron grip with a threatening look on his face.

His sister gasped, and pushed him away. "I only said to ask you. I never said you had it, so you can quick bothering me and my friends."

Kol stumbled back, "I think I'll stay right where I am for now. After all Nik has no idea where you are. I think I will be quite comfortable right here, or else Nik might need to make a house call to his darling little sister, so he can reunite her with a box."

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh, I would, so for now I'm going to go out and get a drink or two, then I'll come back to my new home with my favorite sister," Kol pushed past Rebekah and walked, back into the main room, and through the apartment door.

While the siblings were talking in the hall, Thalia had been listening to their conversation. She had enhanced hearing because she was a hunter, and was very confused by what she had heard, but before she had much time to think it over, Kol left, and Rebekah came back into the room.

"Is everything OK?" Max asked Rebekah. She looked pretty shaken, and it was obvious that she was not OK.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Rebekah lied, "now where were we?" They all continued to work on the project, but everyone was a still little unsettled by Kol's visit.

True to his word, Kol came back to the apartment late that night and moved into one of the two guest rooms. He was standing in the kitchen drinking coffee when Rebekah walked in the next morning.

"Ready for school?" Kol asked her in a mocking tone. Rebekah didn't respond. She just shoved past him, grabbed a blood bag out of the fridge and put it in the microwave. Kol chuckled and rolled his eyes. "So, which one of those boys was your new boyfriend, or was it all three?" Once again, Rebekah did not deem his jab to be worth a response. He was obviously goading her and she would not allow him to have the satisfaction of having succeeded. She dumped her, now warm, blood into a travel mug and left without some much so much as nod to her brother after grabbing her backpack.

Thalia paced around the hallway. She had arrived at school early because she was anxious to speak with the rest of her friends about what she had overheard. She was also a morning person, so she was usually out and about in the morning. Where are they? Thalia thought. She knew that just because she was there early that didn't mean anyone else was, but she was still impatient.

"Hey," Annabeth said in greeting as she walked up to Thalia.

"Hi, where is everyone else?" Thalia asked her friend.

Annabeth pointed at the way she had come, "They told me they would be here in a minute or two. Why?"

"I need to talk to everyone," as Thalia was speaking, Will, Nico and Percy walked up to the two girls. "So, you guys know that because I'm a hunter, I have increased senses, right?" Everyone nodded, so Thalia went on, "Yesterday, I was listening to Rebekah's and Kol's conversation and I heard some pretty weird stuff."

"What sort of weird stuff?" asked Nico. Percy had filled him and Will in on all of the weird happenings at Rebekah's house the day before and he was just as curious as the people who had been there.

"Kol was threatening Rebekah with that Nik guy and a box, and he said that the thing he took from his brother was a dagger. He also said that he barely escaped his brother, and that he was almost 'daggered'. Whatever that is,"

"Maybe he meant stabbed, as for why as box is threatening, I have no idea," supplied Will.

"Well it had to mean something, she was really afraid when he mentioned a box."

Annabeth jerked her head down the hall, "Shhh!" Rebekah was walking down the hall with Chloe and Jules, and they didn't want to be caught gossiping about her.

"Hi!" shouted Chloe. The demigods all waved at her and Jules casual waved as well. Suddenly, both Nico and Thalia stiffened.

"What is it?" asked Will concern evident in his eyes.

Thalia and Nico looked at each other and said in unison, "Monster."

Thank you for reading, and thank you to YusufGav and leneann for reviewing. It means a lot to get any kind of feedback especially positive like your's was. I just wanted to clear something up, Thalia is not going to be Rebekah's enemy or vise versa. I just though it is interesting because they are both strong hotheads, but Thalia is a hunter and Rebekah is the girl who loves too easily. If there is any character bashing or OOCness I apologize.
