"it doesnt matter to me. we can fight a few more." she said. just then another scorpian ,but this time it was regular color, came out and there were 3. "oh come on how easier could it get." she said. she raised her sword and lightening came down instantly disentigrating one of the scorpians.

Nico took his sword out and cut one's head off. "Seems like we have no choice at this point." he says going for the other one dodging attacks from it.

Thalia took the the other one. she hit it in its head with her shield. she jumped on its back carefully watching the stinge.r when it came down she rolled out of the way letting it kill itself. "you got that one" she asked.

"Yeah, should only take a minute." and with that he brought his sword down cutting clean through it's head diagnoly. He jumped over next to Thalia. "That should do it." he says.

"good job." thalia said. she noticed that one of the scorpian's tail had cut her. She figured it wasn't bad since it was just a scorpian but she didn't know it was one of the black scorpians who had cut her. She started feeling weird. She got a little weak and lost her balance and feel on the ground then passed out.

Nico ran to her side and picked her up. He looked to the tiger. and he got on, holding Thalia in hs lap. "take us back to camp, she needs attention to this." he says as the tiger starts for camp.

chiron came running towards them as they entered view of the house. he noticed thalia. "nico what happened," he asked

"We were fighting scorpions and she was cut by a black one, I got her here as fast as I could."Nico answers jumping down from the tigers back carrying Thalia.

"but we didnt put any blakc scorpians in the forest nico," chiron said taking thalia and setting her on a bed in the infirmary.

"I know, but they showed up nonetheless. I'm just glad it wasen't worse than it is." he says looking on the bright side.

chiron looked at the poison in thalias wound. "i have a cure for it but she'll be out of action for a few days," he said put some medicine on the wound and bandaging it up. "i have my theroy of who put the scorpians out there. the only personw ho could have was luke," he said.

"Yeah, he is sketchy, he would have done that." he agrees.

"ok at dinner tonight im gonna announce a patrol. everyone can take turns in groups scouting out the woods. if it is him there is another part to his plan," chiron said.

"Sounds good, I think we should watch over Thalia until she can take care of herself." Nico says. Not wanting to miss the fun of this, but he worried for his friend.

"you can stay and watch after her if you want. when you get tired ill bring in annabeth or percy," he said. chiron exited the infirmary.

He sat down on the side of her bed at the end, looking at her, noticing how peaceful she looked, if it weren't for the reason he'd fell his heart skip a beat.

[im skipping to dinner]

Chiron stamped his front hoof on the concret pavillion. the campers all turned to him. "unfourtunatly, recently we have found out that someone has black black poisonous scorpians in the woods which is why thalia isnt with us but she si fine. i want a border and wood patrol set up tommorow morning." there were a few murmurs from the campers then they began eating.

Angel had picked edibale berries and ate those as he watched Thalia, he knew she'd be okay, but he didn't want to be worrying about if she was in danger or not while he went to the pavillion.

annabeth knocked on the door then came in. "chiron told us. is she ok," annabeth asked.

"Yeah, she's fine, someones putting new beasts in the woods, not the ones we put in." Nico says. "Aren't you going to go to the pavillion, I'm staying by her side until she's better, I should have noticed the scratch, I don't know why I didn't."

Bianca was outside practicing against a dummy when she as Nico and Thalia going into the infirmary. She would have left to see what happened but Chiron had started to speak about black scorpions in the woods. Bianca knew how strong the poison was but she decided to see if Thalia was ok, so she walked to the infirmary to see Annabeth, Nico and Thalia there. "I'm glad to see that you two are alright, will Thalia be up and around soon?" she asked walking towards them.

"She'll be out for a bit, but she'll live." Nico Answers.

"i wish he would just leave camp out of this. even with that being i fgured thalia would be the last person he would attack with the history the two have." annabeth said.

Nico looked at Anabeth. "Who are you talking about?" he asked.

"i know it was luke. chiropn told me his hunch as well. luke and thalia and me. when we were little we were run aways together. we stayed on the streets fighting off monsters. i figured he wouldnt even touch her for a while," she said.
