Artist: Rihanna

Chapter about: Thaluke (Thalia/Luke)

POV: Thalia, when she's 12.


Thalia Grace had a tough shell, ever since she had run away when she was nine. You'd think someone would give a damn, but nobody cared about a kid on the streets.

A kid about to steal a car.

So what if she looked a little young? If her mom could drive drunk, how hard could it be?

You made it all the way from LA, she told herself, To Westport, CT. You can do this.

Zeus, she prayed. Help me.

But Zeus hadn't answered like he hadn't when she was six and her mom threw beer bottles at her. Now, at least it had been cans.

Suddenly she heard someone behind her. She gingerly rubbed her silver bracelet, timing it perfectly, so when she turned around, Aegis was out, making the boy in front of her jump.

He was a little older than her, maybe thirteen or fourteen, with blonde hair and brown eyes. He was good-looking in that way he didn't care, but he just was. Instead of freaking on her, he pulled out a sword.

Thalia nearly gasped. No way! Not unless he was…

"Are you a demigod?" She asked quietly. If he was a mortal, she'd pretend she said something else.

He looked around, making sure no one was there, giving her a chance to see a scar, running from his temple to his chin.

"Yeah." He whispered. "Name's Luke. Son of Hermes. You?"

For once in her life, she was speechless. He was, well, hot. "Uh, Thalia. Daughter of Zeus."

He did a double take. "No, shit! That's, wow, that's, um…"

Thalia realized he was nervous. Around HER.

"Well," She said. "I need a driver. You in?"

He grinned, and a bond was there.

Forever.

I've been looking for a driver who's qualified

So if you think that you're the one step into my ride

I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine

With a sunroof top and a gangster lean

So if you feel me let me know, know, know

Come on now what you waiting for, for, for

My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode

So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Got you where you want to go if you know what if mean

Got a ride that smoother than a limousine

Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?

If you can baby boy then we can go all night

Now shut up and drive

So if you feel me let me know, know, know

Come on now what you waiting for, for, for

My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode

So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Got you where you want to go if you know what if mean

Got a ride that smoother than a limousine

Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?

If you can baby boy then we can go all night
