Neil woke up to the sound of Atlanta and Archie talking. He rubbed his head before sitting up. He looked at his two friends who had stopped talking breifly, then he looked at his rocky surroundings.

" Where am I?" he asked as he turned his attention back to his friends.

" We don't know. All we do know is when we find Theresa, she is going to pay." Archie said slamming a fist into his open palm.

" Yeah what's her problem. She had glowing eyes and then she waved a hand in front of me, then everything started to spin and then everything went dark. And now here I am." Neil said.

" Yeah that's what happened to us." Atlanta said looking at the ground.

There was a short silence that was broken by Archie.

" Well no point just sitting around we should find a way to get out of here." he said standing up and walking past Neil.

Neil got up as well and started to help Archie look for a way out. Atlanta stayed on the ground. Her mind was somewhere else. It was silent for a long time until Atlanta broke it.

" How could she turn on us like that? We were her friends. What if Jay was right? What if she really is working for Cronus?" tears formed in her eyes as she spoke.

Archie walked over to her and put a comforting arm around her shoulders.

" Everything will be okay." he said.

She looked up at him and smiled. He always knew what to say to make her feel better. He held out his hand to help her up. When she was standing the three trapped friends started to look for a way out.

Back at the dorm Jay and Herry had gone upstairs for a minute and Theresa was alone with Odie. He was concentrating on the movie. She moved very quietly and even more swiftly. Odie jumped as she all of sudden appeared right in front of him.

" Hey. What are you doing? I'm trying to watch that..." his voice trailed off as he noticed her eyes were glowing. They were a Pale green.

" Well you won't be watching it for long." she hissed, her voice was harsh. It didn't sound anything like her.

" What are you doing Theresa?" Odie asked, his voice quivering at the sight of her.

" I'm just going to get rid of a little unwanted person." she replied.

Then her eyes glowed brighter and she waved a hand in front of him. Odie grabbed the arms of the chair he was in as everything started to spin. His felt a bolt of pain surge through his body as the light faded. Soon everything went black.

Theresa's eyes returned to normal as she went back to her seat just in time for Jay and Herry to return.

" Where's Odie?" Herry asked as they entered the room.

" He went to see Hepaestus. He wanted to show him his new virtual reality game." Theresa smiled at her two friends.

" I didn't hear the door open." Jay said, looking at Theresa with an intense stare.

" He was quiet and shut the door softly." Theresa replied, returning his stare.

" Well I'll just call him on his PMR and see what he's up to." Jay said reaching for his PMR.

" You can't." Theresa said, her voice calm.

" Why not?" Herry asked as he sat down on the couch.

" He left his PMR here. It's on the coffeetable there." she answered, pointing to the coffeetable in the center of the room.

Jay looked at Theresa suspiously before sitting down beside Herry.

" Hey. Where's everyone else?" Herry asked, breaking the silence that had covered the room.

" There probably still out." Theresa said quickly.

" We should go look for them." Jay suggested, his eyes stayed focused on Theresa.

" Fine." Theresa agreed, standing up.

The three friends left the brownstone to search for their friends. Of course Theresa knew where they were. They headed down towards the docks. The three of them went in seperate directions.

Odie awoke to the sound of rocks colliding with rocks. He groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze fell upon three concerned faces.

" What happened?" he finally managed to speak.

Odie tried to sit up but the pain still stung his body.

" Guess Theresa got you too huh." Neil said as he helped his friend up.

" Where are we?" Odie asked looking around.

" We don't know. But we're working on a way out." Atlanta answered.

" And if we get our hands on Theresa... she's going to pay." Archie added.

Theresa was near Herry and Jay was off somewhere else. ' Perfect.' she thought. She hid behind a crate and screamed. She heard Herry's footsteps fast approaching.

" Theresa? Theresa? Where are you?" he called as he walked by her.

She stepped out, eyes glowing and spoke.

" I'm right here. But do you know where you're going?" she said slowly stepping towards him.

Herry backed away slowly. Theresa was starting to freak him out.

" Theresa what are you doing?" he asked cautiously, almost not wanting to know the answer.

" You'll see. You know you should've listened to Jay. He was really on to something. But it's too late now." she said, drawing out each word.

Herry didn't get a chance to speak before Theresa waved a hand in front of him. The ground started to spin. He tried to reach for something to regain his balance. No luck. He fell to the ground and everything faded. He felt pain shot through his limbs.

Theresa laughed and turned as she felt Jay's presence.

" Where'd you send him?" Jay demanded, xiphos drawn.

" You'll find out soon enough." she said as she started towards him.

" Stop!" a new voice rang out as a dark figure stepped out of the shadows on top of the crates.

" Cronus! What did you do to her? Where are the others!?" Jay's was growing by the second.

" Oh nothing. Don't worry she's perfectly fine. Now you wouldn't want to hurt her would you?" Cronus said, smiling evily.

Jay knew he could never really hurt Theresa. He started to lower his xiphos.

" Theresa if you wouldn't mind..." He continued, his smile getting bigger and bigger.

" Gladly." she repelied as she advanced once more towards her previous leader.

" Mind control it's a wonderful thing. Well I can see you have your hands full. Tah-Tah." Cronus aid as he disappeared just as swiftly he had arrived.

" Mind control?," Jay said to himself, then he turned his attention back to Theresa, " Theresa I don't want to hurt you. You can fight his control. You're stronger than this!" Jay said as he dodged an attack.

" Well that's too bad. Because I'm going to hurt you." she replied.

Theresa dove at him but he dodged. Jay turned just in time to see her wave her hand in front of him.

" You're the last one. With you gone there's no one to stop us." she said as her eyes glowed brighter.

Everything started to spin as he fell to the ground. He tried to focus and stay consious but it didn't work. He felt an incredible amount of pain as everything faded into darkness.

His last thoughts while consious were: ' We've lost.'
