Whats left of me
(AN: don't know if anyone will actually read this but please review if you do because I'm 100%new to fanfiction)
(anyways this takes place at the end of 'the titans curse'. Thalia rejects artemis's offer and goes insane)
Percy POV:
As we flew back to camp on the pegasi I wondered what the hell happened back there? I must have been thinking hard and had said that out loud because annabeth answered my question. "I don't know percy" she said in a worried voice. She was riding on blackjack with me and tightened her grip around me slightly when she answered. I placed a reassuring hand on hers and said "don't worry annabeth. Thalia's just…" I looked behind at thalia looking for the right words. She had her eyes shut tight as she rode on her pegasi. I realized that it was because her fear of heights, Not because what had just happened at Olympus. "…she's just tired and confused" I finished. I wasn't really sure WHAT was wrong with her. I tried to remember what happened at Olympus.
We were arguing about what to do about the ophiotaurus and about the danger of thalia being alive. Finally artemis asked for another lieutenant. I was panicking like hell. Worried about what might happen if annabeth accepted. Artemis shocked me further by saying she wanted thalia. I was surprised, happy, and sad at the same time. Surprised at the situation, happy I still had my annabeth, yet sad I was losing a friend. I was about to congratulate thalia because I knew she would say yes. Than she proved me wrong.
Thalia strode up to talk to the gods. She didn't kneel or pay her respects. She stared straight at artemis then spoke spiteful words. "hell no" was the first words to come out of her mouth. That single set of words sent the whole room into confusion. She instantly received gasps and looks of amazement at her. Artemis herself was speechless and her mouth agape. "I… I must have heard… wrong. What did you say?" artemis had recovered in the few seconds of silence and had turned to anger. I could feel her seething presence from the other side of the room.
Thalia had probably waiting just for that question to then continue because she picked up a millisecond after artemis. "the very reason luke and zoe died tonight is because I pushed them away" she paused and just for a second I heard her voice quiver. She recovered instantly and continued "I will not push away whats important to me and you can go shove off artemis". She punctuated artemis's name with a sort of sarcasm and that made her pissed. Artemis's face was red, but before she could even retaliate, thalia walked out without being dismissed. This further insulted the gods and I could literally feel the tension in the room rise. Annabeths mom, Athena, spoke quickly to us. "leave now. We have much to… discuss"
We were ushered out of Olympus and taken to stables where black jack and his friends had been resting and where thalia was waiting. No one said anything for the first half of the ride. I still don't know whats wrong. "don't worry annabeth… she'll feel better when we get back home. Home. What was going to happen now?
