The primordial was mad. A part of his army was destroyed from some half breeds from the Roman camp, and someone was going to pay. Someone who was important to those who killed his monsters. Someone with sea green eyes and jet black hair.

Everything hurt. His limps, his back, his head. He hadn't had the strength to even lift his head after he used his powers to heal Annabeth. She had been near death, and he was the only one who could heal her. Tartarus had gone too far by hurting his Wise girl, but he couldn't fight him. He was afraid, and not just for his girlfriend no, also for himself. He had learned to fear the pit, leaned to show respect, even if it was forced. He dreaded the moment Tartarus would enter his cell again, taking him away for more of his fun.
He seemed to enjoy hearing him scream, letting him beg for mercy. Annabeth laid next to him, caressing his hair. "Shh," she cooed, kissing his head. "It's fine, we are together now." She didn't say safe, or ok, because being together is everything that counted at the moment. Steps were heard outside the door and his breath quickened. "N-not again, p-please Wise girl. N-not again." She gripped his hand. "Hey, hey, I am here. I won't leave you. I promise," she whispered, her voice desperate, trying to soothe his fear. The door opened and a furious primordial entered the cell. The boy wimphered and clinged onto his girlfriend. "I am not in a good mood girl, so go back to your corner." She squeezed the boy's hand and shook her head. "I am not going to leave him. Ever." Tartarus snarled and grabbed Annabeth's hair and forced her away from her boyfriend. "A-anna-annabeth." He tried to hold on to her, but Tartarus stepped on his wrists, braking it. He let a suppressed scream escape his lips as he pressed his hand to his chest, trying to block out the searing pain. "L-let him alone!" Annabeth sounded pained. Tartarus slapped her and she flew against one of the walls. She fell lifeless to the ground, a pool of blood forming around her. "N-no, Wise girl," his voice was hoarse and full of fear. "You should worry more about yourself than about the girl." He tried to crawl away, but the primordial gripped his throat and squeezed it tight. Percy trashed around, trying to get air. Cold fear settled down in his bones. He couldn't breath, the grinning face of Tartarus blurred and tears escaped his eyes. His lungs were on fire and he clawed on Tartarus's hand, but the primordial just tightened its grip on his throat. Just before he fell unconscious Tartarus lessened his grip on him and air filled Percy's lungs again. He cought and took deep breaths. "Is something wrong Perseus?" The demigod shook his head and curled himself in a ball. "We talked about this Perseus. Respect." Percy sniffled and closed his eyes. "N-no, nothing is wrong, My Lord." Tartarus grinned. "Better." He looked down at the cowering boy. He wasn't angry anymore, but he had fun and didn't want to stop. He grabbed Percy's shoulder and pressed it to the ground, his back facing him. Chains shot out of the ground and wrapped around the son of Poseidon's wrists, ankles and head. He fought against it, but he was already weakened, so he didn't stand a chance. A cruel grin played on Tartarus's lips as he pulled out a dagger. "Stay will, I don't want to miss," he whispered. "M-miss wha-" Realisation drawned on his face as Tartarus brushed the blade against his back. "N-no, please! D-don't do this! I will do anything, j-just don't, please!" His desperate screams were cut of by Tartarus stabbing the dagger deep in his old Achilles spot. Percy's eyes widened and tears run down his face. The searing pain, his body feeling as if fire burned his nerves and his cells, made a scream tear through his lips, a scream full of pain and fear, his eyes begging the pit to stop. The primordial listened to his screams and twisted the dagger, longing for more pain. Percy's back arched and he opened his mouth in a silent scream, eyes rolling into the back of his head. Tartarus laughed and jerked the dagger out, satisfied at the blood running down the blade. He released the trashing boy from his chains and even while he was unconscious he screamed, the pain to immense to block out. The immortal being stepped on Percy's back, causing more pain. The boy's eyes shot open and he looked at his torturer beggingly, before losing consciousness again. Tartarus laughed and turned around, leaving the cell where he still could hear his prisoner's screams.

Silena POV:

The Hunters were here and so were the Romans plus Jason. The hunters were fighting with the Aphrodite cabin, while the Romans discussed war technique with the Athena kids. I sighed, why couldn't they just get along? I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked into the wise eyes if Chiron. "We need a counselor meeting. Tell the others and meet me in the big house in an hour." I nodded. "Sure." He smiled slightly at me and trotted away. "Hey, Jason!", I yelled. His eyes searched for me and I laughed. "Over here, Sparky." He ran over and raided an eyebrow. "What's up?" "Chiron wants a counsellors meeting. We still have to tell the others and meet him in an hour in the big house. You'll tell the hunters and Romans, while I talk to the campers." He saluted and ran off. I sighed again and made my way over to the Stoll brothers.

An hour later Thalia, Zoë, Bianca, Jason, Reyna, the Stolls, Nico, Hazel, Frank, Will and the other counsellors met with Chiron in the big blue building in the centre of camp Half-blood. Chiron stomped his hoof to silence the chattering demigods. "Be quiet, this is important. We are at the brick of our first attack, and I don't want to lose more of my students, so listen!" He turned to Thalia. "Would you tell us more, please." She nodded and stood up. "The hunt was attacked yesterday. We didn't lose any hunters, but our enemy left a note. They would attack camp in two days from then. That is tomorrow." Silence filled the room around the ping-pong table. We all had witnessed war, saw our siblings die. Most had fearful expressions, while others stared blankly at the wall. Chiron bit his lip. "I know that we don't have much time to prepare, I know that our best fighters and strategists are miss- on a quest, but we can't give up hope. We won once, and we will win again, because we don't fight for ourselves, we fight for our friends and family. Tartarus will be defeaded, just like Kronos and Gaea." He took a deep breath. "We will all survive this, if we stick together. Jason, any news from the Roman side?" The blonde clenched his fists. "Sadly. P-piper, she was... She was kidnapped." "WHAT!?" I couldn't believe it. Not Piper. Who would do this, and why? Jason raised his hand and everybody stopped talking again. "We have a new enemy, a guy named Seer. He was the one who kidnapped Piper. He works for Tartarus, but I don't know who he is, and he wore a black mask, so I can't even tell you what he looks like, but I also have good news, or at least not bad ones. I know where Piper is." He glanced at Reyna. "She is with the lost princess, Arallana, and Percy's group will save her, too." I let that think in and frowned. "How do you know where she is?" This time, it was Reyna who answered. "Doesn't matter. We have to prepare for tomorrow." I narrowed my eyes, but dropped it. Before Percy left, he told me to present our battle plan, because I was very convincing, whatever that meant. "You are right. The army members will defend Half-blood hill, whi-" A boy -I think his name was Frank- interrupted me, "All alone? Won't you be outnumbered?" I laughed. "Outnumbered? We are the warriors of Chaos, we are trained from the best, and are way more powerful then any of you. We aren't normal demigods anymore no, we are stronger, better, deadlier. You should trust us with this." He nodded slowly and I continued. "The hunters should stay in the woods, because they are the most strongest there, if that is ok with you?" Zoë nodded. "Sure. I will tell my sisters and Lady Artemis." She stood up and left the room. "One legion of the Romans should protect the campers who are too young to fight, we will hide them in the big house, while the other legion helps wherever they are needed, and campers, I need the Apollo cabin in the infirmary, but the ones who are better with bow and arrow than with healing help the hunters, no discussing about the boys Thalia. The Athena cabin already made battle plans and will set them in action, but they will get help from the Hermes- and Hephaestos cabin. Your traps should keep the enemy busy for a while. The Ares- and Demeter cabin will fight with the second legion, while the remaining campers will defend the infirmary. Understood?" There was a chorus of "yes's" and "understood's" and I sighed. Time for war.
