Chapter τ

Dead is an interesting thing. Hers was hurtful, and all her bad decisions flashed through her mind. What she could have made better. What she actually achieved in her life. Life is short and it can end abruptly. She didn't see her death coming, but she knew she acted right. She made a mistake and she paied for it, but now she had a new chance, and she was going to use it. She wasn't the scared, little girl that didn't want responsebility anymore no, she was a huntress and a warrior, and she would protect her falmily, no matter the cost.

Binaca POV:

I watched as the hellhounds rushed out of the woods. "Zoe, we have to do something!" "Just wait a second. I know what I am doing!" I glanced at Thalia. She was fighting those Monsters, while the hunters shot arrows at them, but more kept coming. "We don't have a second!" Zoe looked at me and nodded slightly. Time to set our plan in action. "Thalia! Get out of there." She sliced through one more hellhound, jumped on top another and climped on one of the trees. "Are you okay?!" She nodded her head. "Just a few scratches. Nothing lethal." I turned my attention back to Zoe. "Your turn." She grinned and jumped down on one of the Hellhounds. She ran over its head and jumped. In the air, a dazzling light surrounded her and I had to close my eyes to prevent being blinded. I could hesr screeching and howling, and I knew our plan worked. As I opened my eyes again, I saw golden dust everywhere, flying in the air, lying on the ground. Zoe stood in the middle of it all, covered in monster dust and breathing heavely. Thalia's eyes were the size of potatos. "Close you mouth, or you will catch flies." She blinked and crossed her arms. "You couldn't have done that before they distroyed my clothes?" Zoe laughed. "Nopes, not really. It's tiring and I had to prepare myself, or I could have faded into starlight." Thalia nodded slowly. "Ookay, so not another demonstration?" She shook her head and yawned. "I really need to sleep now." She took a step in the direction of her tent, but her legs collapsed and I catched her just before she hit the ground. "She has to rest now. She shoud be ok in an hour or so." "I'll help you carry her," said Thalia and I nodded. Together we made our way to Zoë's tent. "Lay her down here." I nodded toward the bed and Thalia hepled me laying her on it. I growned. "Zoë is heavy." Thalia laughed. "Don't tell her that."
"As if I would do that. I would be dead in seconds."
"Probably. So, do you have powers too?" I scratched the back of my head. "Yeah, the same as Nico. Shadowtraveling, raising the dead, solidifying shadows. This type of things, but Nico is still stronger than me, he is the Ghost king after all." I sighed and Thalia nodded. "Yes, he is. He really has to-" "Lieutenant, we have found something!" Thalia scrunched her eyebrows together. "We will talk later. Let's see what the Hunters found." We jogged over to Clary and I tipped her on the shoulder. "Hey, Clary. What did you find?" She sighed. "Nothing good." She turned around, her red hair flying behind her. It always reminded me of fire. It reached her waist, and was slightly curled. "The monsters left a note." I narrowed my eyes. Thalia stepped forward. "Show me."
"Yes, Lieutenant." Clary handed Thalia a little cheet of paper. "We will attack the greek camp in two days. You can either surrender, or die. It's your choice. Prepare for your doom."
"How nice. Whoever wrote this is very poetic. Prepare for your doom," I mimiced, my voice dripping with sarcasm. I looked at Thalia. "What do we do now?" She sighed. "I will contact Jason and tell him to come to CHB as soon as possible. Binaca, you will stay with Zoë and contact camp. Hunters, prepare for battle. We are at war!"

I bit my lip and stared at the drachma in my hand. Who am I supposed to call? Chiron, a consouler? I took a deep breath and threw the golden coin in the rainbow. "Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow show me Nico di Angelo, Camp Half-blood." The air shimmered and the face of my brother was shown. "Hey Neeks." He jumped and gripped his sword. "Gods Binaca. Don't do that." I laughed. "Sorry Neeks." He scrowled. "Don't call me that." I just rolled my eyes. "Whatever, camp is in danger. The first attack is in two days. The hunters will come tomorrow, and Thalia is calling Jason at the moment." He nodded. "I will tell Chiron, but how do you know when they will attack?" "There was an attack on our camp, but no-one is bady injuried. Thalia has a few scratches, but that is all." "Thank the gods you are ok. I miss you. We will spend some time when the whole war thingy is over." I smiled. "Good, oh and Nico." He raised an eyebrow. "Is that Will's shirt?" He blushed and cut the connection before I could say anything else. "They are a cute couple." I spun around. "You startled me." Zoë grinned. "Sorry." "You don't look sorry." She avoided my eyes and whistled innocently. „Umm, I don't know what you mean." I laughed and shook my head. "Of course not. How much did you hear?" She became serious and sat up in her bed. "Enough. We have to leave soon." I sighed. "Yeah. The war starts in two days." Steps were heared outside the tent. "Bianca, is Zoë awake?" "Yes, come in Thals." Thalia entered and sat beside Zoe on the bed. "I talked to Jason. He and Reyna will come tomorrow, taking two legions with them." "Good. Did he say anything about Piper?" I frowned. "Piper? What about her?" Thalias's eyes widened. "You don't know?" My heartbeat sped up. What had happened? "Know what?" Thalia glaced nervously at Zoe. "She was kidnapped. We don't know much, just that the guy's name is Seer and that she wasn't choosen randomly." I run my fingers through my hair. "This is bad. Her charmspeek is a good weapon in combat, and we could really use her other powers too." Thalia cleared her throat. "Other powers?" I nodded. "Yeah. She is a really good fighter and Chaos gave her the ability to look into the future. It's a bit lilke Katoptris. She can't control the visions, and they are just a possibility of what could happen, but it's very useful. I just hope she is okay." Thalia sighed. "She has to be. She is Piper McLean after all. A total badass. She is fine. I am sure of it."                                                     _____________________________________

Piper sighted. She was hungry and needed a shower. Her choppy hair was matted and dirty. "You will get food as soon as you ask her. It's just one tiny question, Piper." She shook her head. "Leave me alone." His fist collided with her stomach and she doubled over. "You are just a pretty face, nothing more. Just give up." Another punch to her stomach. "I am not weak." Her voice was firm. She was more than just a daughter of Aphrodite. She was a warrior. She was strong. She wouldn't let Seer win. Never.                     ______________________________________
