"Kronos! Why did you bring me here?" Yelled Percy.

Percy was in one of his dreams where he was in Kronos's cave. He didn't like them at all, because Kronos kept trying to bring him over to his side.

"I brought you here because I want to help you." Said Kronos in a sort-of-nice voice. "You seem angry. Why?" He asked although he already knew the answer.

"I'm not angry at all!" Yelled Percy.

"Look at yourself. You are angry. I want to help you." Said Kronos.

"But I'm not!" Percy said again. Percy knew he was angry, but why did Kronos want to help him? "The only thing I'm mad about is you!"

"I know it's not just that Percy. I watch you. You're also angry at your friends, aren't you?" Said Kronos.

Percy was stunned. He didn't know what to say next.

"I'm right, aren't I Percy." Said Kronos.

Kronos was very right. Percy's friends never turned to him anymore. They turned to Thalia. Zeus's daughter. Percy didn't like that very much. He tried really hard not to be mad about it. But he was a little mad.

"I want to help you Percy." Said Kronos. "I want to help you get your friends back. All you need is more power than Thalia, and I can give it to you."

"No! I don't want your help! I can get them back myself!" Percy didn't know how, but he really didn't want Kronos's help.

"How?" asked Kronos.

"I don't know." Percy said.

"Then let me help you." Said Kronos.

"I…" Percy paused "I'll think about it. But If I say no, I mean it." Percy said.

The next morning Percy was kind of upset. "What if Kronos is right? What if my friends don't want me anymore? What if they like Thalia better?!" He thought to himself. He was discussing with himself weather to talk to someone or to keep quiet. So he went out and did his usual activities, but still watched his friends. They only hung around Thalia. They never even noticed that he wasn't there. That made him feel even angrier. The more he watched the angrier he got.
