27 Chapter 27 Changes (1/2)
Currently I was standing in the middle of the living room in the big house. Chiron was pacing back and forth as be processed the information in his head. ”How did Luke get ahold of such poison? And better yet, how are we going to keep all the monsters away?” Chiron muttered to himself.
”What are we going to do now Chiron? Luke got away again, and he poisoned Thalia! Is there a way to cure her?” I asked. ”I have never seen this type of poison before, but it is very dark. I assume it has come from the darkest pits in the underworld, probably belonging to a nasty creature.” Chiron muttered back. ”You didn't answer my question, can it be cured?”
Chiron shook his head. ”If there is way, then my people do not know of it.” I clench my fist tightly, I was feeling really angry right now. ”What's going to happen now?” I look toward Chiron, hoping for a way out of this situation. ”Now I must go to Olympus and inform the gods of what has happened.”
The gods again? If anyone is able to help Thalia, it should be the gods! ”Do you think they can help? Help Thalia remove her poison?” Chiron looked uncertain. ”I dont know, we can only hope.” If anyone of the gods were to help, then it should be Zeus right? After all it is his daughter.
”I must leave right away, in the mean time stay here in camp and try to keep the campers calm. I'm sure they are all panicking after seeing the tree the way it is.” I nod my head in assurance. Chiron takes this as the opportunity to leave, and heads out the front door.

Now outside Lucian saw a crowd of people surrounding Thalias tree. They were all confused at what happened and were asking questions, seemingly trying to find out what happened.
One of the Male campers guessed that the tree was just sick, earning some yelling directed toward him by a specific female camper.
She was a big looking girl with muscles that were toned out. She had brown hair that was tied up in a ponytail, probably in order to keep it from getting in her face when she is in combat. Her face looked rather mean looking, like getting on her bad side would not be a good idea. Still, her face had SOME charm, (although very little) if you ignored her battle crazed eyes. I knew who she was, her name was Clarisse La Rue who is the daughter of Ares, the 'God Of War'. Yes, of the God who's sword now belongs to me.
Clarisse was now standing in front of the crowd, with the tree right behind her. ”The tree has been poisoned! Someone poisoned our camps protection!” She said as she pointed at the bullet hole. Everyone started to get riled up as talk amongst them started to get louder. I had to make sure the people dont get riled up.
”Its okay everyone! Chiron has gone to seek help from the gods, they will be able to help Thalia!” Everone turned around and saw me. They all started to quiet down, believing that everything will be fine. Clarisse looked at me and smirked. ”If it isn't our camps celebrity, what are you doing here pretty boy?”
”Pretty boy? I guess it's safe to say you find me attractive?” I teased her, as it seemed she was trying to pick a fight with me. My teasing was successful as she blushed red but it only got her pissed. ”The tree was poisoned! We are being attacked, and if I had to guess, it would have to be Luke!” Clarisse was trying to rile up the campers. There was about 30 people including me in this big camp, the rest will be coming in a couple of days.
