A/N I was reading Percy Jackson stories and I thought of this. It took me 5 hours and 30 minutes to write this chapter. Please enjoy.

Tirias's POV

It was dark and cold. Embers of a blue fire came towards me, dangerously close. The embers seemed to freeze for a moment, before dissolving into air. A strange lady in black robes came towards me. She opened her mouth, 'Wake up'. She said it again. This time I felt myself being shook. Everything faded to black. I awoke in a cold sweat. I didn't realize where I was. That's when I noticed the worried face of Tirian craining her neck to look at me.

"Are you okay,Tia?", the concerned voice of my sister echoed in the cave we were staying in for the night.
"I'm fine Tirian..", I replied with no emotion in my voice.
"Was it about Akhylys again? Or our time in the Pit?" She asked hesitantly.
"No...it was something different, but definitely to do with the Pit", I replied,my mind trying to forget about Tartarus. I shivered at the thought.
"Are you cold? You know an MCR hoodie and jeans aren't going to keep you warm!" Tirian stated, offering me her silver parka. I politely declined. I thought of the dream, the blue fire and the woman in black robes. I wondered what it meant.
"Thinking of your dream?" She pointed to my hand, which was playing with my silver necklace that had a silver deer on it.
"Yeah, i'm trying to think what it is about. I-" I stopped, hearing the sound of footsteps coming towards our cave. Multiple footsteps. I grabbed my bow, aiming the arrow at the entrance of the cave. A group of young women stood at the cave entrance, freezing when they saw Tirian and I. As soon as we saw a young girl with a silver crown, we knew who they were. The Hunters of Artemis. I lowered my bow. Tirian and I stood up and bowed.
"Hunters of Artemis," We whispered,but it could be heard by the Hunters because of the silence. The girl with the crown came towards us but stopped when she saw the silver parka.
"Who are you?" The girl demanded.
"My name is T-" Tirian started, but was rudely interrupted by me.
"She is Silver Scout and I am Animal Queen." I growled slightly.
"My name is Thalia Grace, Lieutenant of Lady Artemis." She replied slowly, like we were 5. "Come with us Silver Scout and Animal Queen, we know a safe place for your kind. Since you know who we are, we can confirm you are demigods."
I took my silver dagger with ancient markings on it and acted fast. I held her in headlock with my dagger against her throat. Her eyes widened, body frozen in fear. I realized it was a rare feeling for her as the other hunters stood still, knowing if they make a wrong move then I could kill Miss Grace.
"How do I know you're not lying?" I snarled.
A woman stepped forward, "My name is Zoe Nightshade and we will take you with us, one way or another."
Tirian had picked up my bow and aimed it so it would only graze Zoe's cheek. Zoe stepped towards me once more and Tirian let the arrow fly. It drew a little blood from Zoe's cheek as Tirian growled, "It was a warning shot. Next time is your life Zoe Anika Nightshade. You won't be taking us anywhere."
I let go of the struggling Thalia and pushed her towards her group before summoning deer with silver antlers. Zoe saw Tirian's ring shaped like an arrow, my necklace shaped like a deer then she looked at the antlers of the deer.
Her eyes widened, like she had found a connection between it all. She took out a rope and tied Tirian and I together. I lost concentration and the deer turned into silver sparks, which quickly disappeared into air. Thalia whistled and a Hellhound came out from the shadows. She put us on the Hellhound's back and got on aswell. We disappeared into the shadows and appeared on a hill with a drakon around a tree, sleeping.
