This is my very first story. Please enjoy :)

Annabeth's POV

This was awesome! The Hunters of Artemis came to crash at Camp Half-Blood for a while and I was really excited to see Thalia.

"AHH! OMG! WHERE ARE THEY?" Okay…so maybe I was more than 'really excited' to see Thalia. But when you barely see one of your best friends, it's hard not to be.

"Are you done screaming yet? It's…like 8 'o' clock in the morning", Percy yawned out. What a typical guy.

"Hmph. Shut up Seaweed Brain", I retorted. Before he could reply, we saw a cloud of white and blue coming towards us, "Is that them?"

"Uhh…I think?"

A group of girls, age 12 to 18 came toward us looking…like they wanted to rip up to pieces and eat us for dinner. Yeah, the Hunters of Artemis really hated us here in Camp Half-Blood. But at the front of their group I saw a familiar face, wearing ripped black jeans, black converse with orange neon shoelaces, and a shirt that said Death to Barbie on the front.

"Thalia!" I screeched out, running to her and giving her a bone crushing hug.

"My poor ears…" Percy grumbled.

"Typical male." one of the Hunters snorted. That's another thing. All the Hunters are girls. And they all hate guys.

"Aww lay off, Phoebe", Thalia said, grinning, "Percy's really chill. He saved the world, remember?"

"Hmph.", was the only reply Thalia got.

"Okay ladies. Go unpack. I'll see you later, I've got some catching up to do!", Thalia said cheerfully.

"I don't think they'll every like me", Percy said with mock sadness.

"Don't worry", Thalia winked, "You've got Annabeth to like you!" Both Percy and I started blushing like crazy which made Thalia start cracking up.

"I hear happiness. What is going on?" a different voice said.

Thalia's POV

Who. The. Hades. Was. That. I'm pretty sure that if I wasn't so busy laughing at Annabeth and Percy, my jaw would have fallen off my face.

"Oh look! It's the most cheerful person I've ever met! Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades!" Percy smirked. We turned to see a guy who looked to be about my age (minus my tree years), wearing black jeans, a black Linkin Park shirt, black converses, and an aviator's jacket. He had more black on than I did. I couldn't help but be impressed.

Well now I knew who the Hades he was. His son. His extremely dark and attractive son. His extremely dark and attractive and…wait…

"Di Angelo?", I frowned. I knew that name from somewhere, "Is there another Di Angelo...hold on…oh." My eyes widened as I realized who he was. Bianca Di Angelo's little brother Nico. Well. He certainly wasn't very little anymore.

Nico's eyes darkened and he turned away, "Obviously I'm interrupting a very happy moment so…yeah see you later."

I so badly wanted to call his name and apologize…for what? For being an idiot? A forgetful one at that? Bianca Di Angelo had died after joining the Hunters and I don't think Nico ever forgave us.

"Hey Thalia do you need some glue?" Percy asked.

"What?"

"You might need to stick your jaw back on", he smirked again. I couldn't help it, my cheeks reddened a bit.

"Shut up Lover Boy." I snapped back.

"Okay guys play nice", Annabeth said, "C'mon let's go get something to eat".

So now I really wanted to know more about Nico. I mean totally from a curious, observer point of view. Nothing else…I promise. Hopefully Artemis won't find out. Gulp.

"So uh…that's Nico? I thought he was like…twelve or something", I tried to keep my voice even and devoid of much interest. Obviously Annabeth saw right through it and began to grin suggestively.

"Well time has passed. I mean you were a tree, then you joined the Hunters became immortal, by the way did you know that Nico was born during World War Two? And now you're both sixteen. While we", she gestured at Percy, "Are eighteen."

"I doubt Percy can even count that high." I grumbled under my breath.

"What?" he asked.

"Oh nothing," I said sweetly. I was going to have to get revenge for that glue joke, "So it's been…what six years you've known Annabeth? And you still haven't gone out on a date?"

They blushed, noticed each other blushing, and got even redder.

"Ooo big bad Percy Jackson, hero of Olympus is too scared to ask a girl out on a da-aaa-te? What a shame. I thought you'd be tougher than that", I couldn't help myself. This was hilarious.

"I…uh…need to go…do some…guy stuff", Percy mumbled pathetically and practically ran off.

"Haha! That shows him, not to mess with Thalia, Daughter of Zeus!" I crowed in delight. As if my father was responding, I heard satisfactory thunder, "So Annabeth. What's going on here? Girl-to-girl. Why isn't Percy your boyfriend yet?"

But Annabeth was in a vengeful mood, "I dunno. I don't you'd care being a Hunter of Artemis and all. By hey! It seems like Nico changed your mind". She grinned evilly as I began to flush.

"What?...me? Nico?...nah…" I began.

"What? The great Thalia, Daughter of Zeus, speechless?I never thought I'd see this day.", she said gleefully.

"Well…I…uhh", Where was my great and glorious wit?

"It's almost time for dinner. We don't want to be late, because I'm sure you want to see Nico."

"I'm sure you want to see Percy!"

"Not as much as you want to see Nico!"

"Ugh…I'm going to go unpack."

"Thalia and Nico!"

"And get some arrows."

"Nico and Thalia!"

"Lots of arrows."

"Thalia Di Angelo!"

"And some daggers too!"

"OOO I GOT IT! THALICO!"

"SHUT UP PERCABETH."

Nico's POV

I thought Thalia was pretty chill. Until she mentioned my dead sister. I walked back to my cabin, slammed the door shut, flopped on the bed, and began to drown myself in my own teenage angst.

Somehow my thoughts kept going back to Thalia. She looked different from most girls in camp. More of my style, with the whole black thing going on. The orange shoelaces were a nice touch, I noticed that had skulls on them. Idiot! What kind of dude notices what a girl's wearing!

Ugh I was definitely losing it. Her hair was pretty awesome too. It was black and while it looked clean, it wasn't full of hairspray and whatever else the Aphrodite girls dumped into their hair.

Dude! Pull yourself together! Stop thinking about some girl! Much less a Hunter of Artemis.

I wasn't surprised that I hadn't been smote by Artemis already for thinking about one of her Hunters.

No, Nico. Artemis will never find out. This is our little secret.

"Who's there?" was I really losing it? Great now I've started talking to myself.

Fool. It's me.

"What?"

Goddess of Love!

Oh, right. Aphrodite. Relived I wasn't going crazy I looked around for the goddess.

I'm in your head!

Crap! I was losing it!

NO! I AM A GODDESS. I HAVE THIS POWER.

Oh…haha…I knew that.

Trust me, my dear. This summer will be very interesting for you. And also for the lovely Ms. Thalia.

Uh oh. I didn't like the sound of that.

For now, ttyl!

Great. Now I'm thinking about the one person in the world who I should hate for being a Hunter and I've got a determined goddess after me. I groaned, plugged in my iPod earphones and drowned myself in Green Day.

Thalia's POV

Annabeth and I went to the campfire after dinner. I saw the Stolls brothers up to no good, Katie Gardiner yelling at Travis, Clarisse and her gang bullying the Apollo cabin, really, nothing out of the ordinary. Oh yeah. There was also the little World War Three going on between my Hunters and the Aphrodite cabin.

I was about to break up the fight, when I saw Nico sitting alone.

"Hey Annabeth…could you…break them apart?" I said absentmindedly. She followed my line of sight, laughed evilly and said, "With pleasure. Now go have some fun."

I walked towards Nico and said, "Hey".

He looked at me. Darn it did I say the wrong thing? Why is he looking at me? Do I have marshmallow in my teeth? O.M.G. Did I not brush my hair?

"Hey" Phew. Wait why was I thinking those things? I don't care! HMPH THALIA GRACE. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. The silence was becoming awkward, so I sat down next to him.

"So…uhh I wanted to apologize, about before. Like…I mean…Bianca", I trailed off. I saw some anger in his eyes, but mostly sadness.

He closed up, "Yeah. It's cool. People die. I would know being Son of Hades." He didn't laugh at his own joke.

"I—" I never got to finish.

"OHH NICOO!"

"Heyyy Nico!"

"Lookin' good Nico!"

I glared up, looking to find the idiot who interrupted me. I saw Bella, Daughter of Hecate and her two sidekicks Alice and Rosalie, twin daughters of Nemesis.

Bella's eyes narrowed when she looked at me, "Hunter of Artemis. What are you doing with a male."

I said in an annoyed tone, "I can talk to him."

"Ha. You wish", Alice said in a sing-song voice. They might have been dressed in red, blue, and black but they were total wannabes of the Aphrodite girls. They looked like dark Barbie's.

Nico scratched his head, seeming unsure of what to do, not wanting to get stuck in a 3-on-1 chick fight.

I was getting really mad. And something about the way Bella was looking at Nico disgusted me. It was like he was a cupcake that she wanted for himself.

A delicious, scrumptious, dark cupcake. Another voice said.

What the Hades? I was totally losing it.

"Kay Nico. I see your fan club is here. See you later. Bye." and I hoped that was the first and last time I would ever made such a clichéd dramatic exit.

I went to my cabin to sulk but I found someone in there already. The figure turned around and said, "Hello honey".

It was Aphrodite.

Well what did you think? Do you like the fact that there are two "Thalia's POVs" in one chapter? Do you think there are too many "POVs" in one chapter? Please review :)
