"Let's shadow travel." I said."Both of you,touch my arms or you'll get left here." I told them.

Melina obeyed Kyle's command. She held a tight grip on his left bicep. Hopefully when the group reached their destination, they wouldn't end up in a tree, or possibly, the air. With her five years being at Camp Half-Blood, she didn't need another fall. The battles were just as much pressure.

I touch his arm and got ready for the travel. I hoped it wouldn't end up as last time. He landed on top of me. It hurt.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:33 pm

"Ready?" I said.Again,I didn't wait for an answer.We appeared at the foot of Atlas' mountain."Let's go."

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:39 pm

I start the long hike. My sword appeard in my hand . I was ready to fight. My knife was in a case connect to my shoulder; my bow and arrows was on my back. I put my sword in it's sheath and loaded my bow. I didn't trust this mountian. To many bad reports from here.

Melina's vision was slightly blurry from the shadow traveling, but then returned to focus after a few seconds. Her head was much clearer now, and so she resumed her thinking. She didn't know anyone that would want to kidnap Kai. Then again, Melina felt that she didn't know everything about his past. She recalled the day that they were together by the lake, and a son of Aphrodite was there. Kai mentioned something about the goddess ruining his life, but how? Melina never knew, she backed off because it was too personal to him.

Was it possible that this was the information she needed to know who this kidnapper was? It could be, but there could be tons of other reasons also. As she trudged up the hill, she unsheated her celestial bronze sword; her thoughts still processing.

My chakrams appeared in my hands.I didn't like the situation.He had Kai,and we didn't know who he or she was.And the fact that this was Atlas' mountain.Could they have..? No,not possible.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:05 pm

I climbed a huge rock. I looked around. I could not see anything. I had an idea but I knew it was to risky. I climbed back down and ran faster. I was glad I was in shape.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:01 pm

I used my chakrams as Frisbee-like pickaxes to climb the steeper parts."Why would someone take him here?" I wondered out loud as I drove my chakrams into the mountain once more.The top loomed about 30 feet above.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:18 pm

Melina didn't know how to respond to Kyle's question. Why would anyone bring Kai here? It didn't make any sense so far. Somehow, Melina knew she was missing an important part of the puzzle. Was this all some sort of riddle? Lost in thought, she continued climbing the mountain.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:16 pm

I climbed a little more and hopped up to the top.I began to rip my chakrams out of the mountain.I hadn't bothered to look around yet.I didn't think,ever.That was my problem.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:26 pm

Melina followed behind Kyle, finally reaching the summit of the mountain. She scanned the enviroment with her gray-eyed gaze. After a few moments, a flash of light danced behind a group of trees. "Is he over there?" she asked nonchalently. In all honesty, Melina wasn't sure if she made the right choice embarking on such a quest. Athena, her mother, had warned her about the dangers Kai was putting Melina through. If she was making the wrong decision, is it possible that she could die at her boyfriend's kidnapper's hands?

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:44 pm

A girl suddenly dropped down."Looks like I must have been traced..." She muttered to herself.Then she looked at us."So have you come looking for the Hades boy?"

"Yes,you idiot." I told the girl.Guess she kidnapped him.I didn't know her.For once,it didn't seem to be someone from his past.Then again,you never know.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:54 pm

"Where's Kai?" Melina asked with exasperation. She raised her sword, and positioned herself in an ancient Greek battle stance. For a moment, she was stunned that a girl would bother to capture Kai. Was it someone from his past? An old girlfriend, possibly? Melina refused to think about that thought. She didn't want herself distracted from battle.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:37 pm

"Bobby.Now." The girl said,and a forcefield of wind appeared around them,keeping them in one place.A boy walked out and she put a few drachmas in his hand. "My strategy has worked so far..." She muttered to herself."I didn't count on these kids,but maybe this could be for the better..."

"Look,you idiot.We'll be whoopin you,then we'll taking Kai back to camp.Got it?" I yelled.

"Ahh... Camp..." She said wistfully."The Athena cabin was always great..." She realized she had said to much and stopped abruptly.

"Your a demigod!" I said out loud.I didn't hear her last sentence well,though.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:44 pm

Melina remained silent. She had no idea what to say next. No words of wisdom, a simple battle strategy; nothing. The kidnapper was her half-sister. Everything was so confusing. How come she never heard of her before?

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:56 pm

"If you had some plan,what is it?" I asked.Maybe if we knew what she would let something slip.

She shrugged.There was nothing more involved,she could tell them."Well,my whole plan was to take a Big Three child and give him to Kronos for drachmas,and me and my team of mercenaries could survive.I picked him because of our past.I used to train him.Then my former partner,a daughter of Aphrodite,enraged him to the point where he use his powers to kill me,but he instead killed his mother.I thought maybe before I gave him over I could apologize to him.I tried to take him quietly in his sleep but he struggled and purposely cut himself to leave a trace.I suppose you tracked me that way." I explained.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:41 pm

Melina's eyes widened at the name Aphrodite. Was that what Kai was talking about? Was it something else? Either way, this girl and Kai went way back. "Who are you?" she managed.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:55 am

"WHo am I?" She asked herself."A mercenary,maybe.A daughter of Athena,maybe.I don't actually know who I am." She simply said.

"You're really confusing." I said to her.I hadn't been able to understand a word she had said so far.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Fri Apr 01, 2011 3:40 pm

I thought for a while. It was strange that I was silent. I found out that I was behind Kyle and never moved from behind him. "It could help if you could say what your name is frist. Then we can move on from there."

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:11 pm

"Why don't you know?" Melina snorted. She couldn't make out what the so-called mercenary was saying. Out of all the Big Three demigods, why would she choose to kidnap Kai if they had such a tight relationship in the past? Wouldn't she want him alive rather than having him traded over to Cronus?

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:52 pm

She didn't answer.As if reading Melina's mind,she said "I have my reasons."

I had an idea.I let my chakrams soar into the wind force field,effectively both breaking the field and knocking my chakrams off the mountain.

She was shocked for a moment,leaving herself open.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:18 am

Melina didn't know whether to attack, or remain still. There was clearly more information she wasn't telling the group. The objective was to make her spil it, but that didn't seem possible just by negotiating with her. Should they attack or not?

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 02, 2011 1:55 pm

I recovered from my moment's shock and drew a longsword."So you gonna stand there?Or are you gonna fight?" She taunted.

I jumped at her.Then I realized I had no weapon,as my chakrams had yet to reappear, and she knocked me aside.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 02, 2011 2:25 pm

Without hesitation, Melina advanced forward on the girl; her sword aimed at her abdomen. She had no idea what she was getting herself into, and more importantly, whether she knew what she was doing was right or wrong. Was she putting the rest of the group in danger? It didn't matter anymore, the daughter of Athena was already seconds away from injuring the mercenary.
