Heroes of Chaos 3: Subconscious Memories

Thalia 32

I was so close to finding out who Nicholas was. So close finding out what happened.

Then Clarrise came running in.

"They're back!"

I jumped up.

"What?"

She really looked a little stressed.

I wondered what was going on so I ran up the stairs and out the door.

Thunder cracked the sky. The wind almost knocked me to the ground.

Campers and everything else were running in circles trying to find shelter and answered to what in Hades was going on.

Suddenly I saw the lights flicker in the sick bay.

"Percy," I breathed.

I ran, or well it felt like running, the actual pace was more like a slow walk but it took everything I had to upkeep at that pace in a semi-straight line.

When I got into the sick bay I tripped. There were people scattered all over the floor.

Leo.

Piper.

Hazel.

Nico.

Frank.

Peter, I think.

Parker, maybe.

Annabeth.

Jason.

I tripped over Leo.

All of them were unconscious.

"What is going on?"

Luke and rest of the supposed-to-be-dead came in. They were a complete mess. Their cloaks were everywhere, and their hair was everywhere else.

"I don't know."

"He's blocked the memories," came Chaos's voice.

We all turned to the corner. Chaos was huddled in a corner.

"What do you mean 'he's blocked the memories' what memories."

"I thought I could hide it from him. Thought it would be best. What do I do now?"

Chaos didn't seem to realize that we were in the room.

"I wonder if he'll still trust me. I wonder if he'll stay."
