I don't own PJO. This is what I imagined Thalia and Luke meeting for the first time.

New Life

Thalia's POV

Ugh. I'm sick of my mother. She always drinks and fights with me for no apparent reason. I don't even think I should call her mom. She is completely evil and never pays attention to me.

I walked don the streets-yes I ran away- looking for somewhere to go. I was really hungry so I decided to head towards the ice-cream shop. I had a couple of bucks so hopefully it will be enough for one treat.

I ordered and sat down in a small table at the back. I sighed. Hopefully I find a place to stay for the night. I wasn't scared about being alone. Not at all. Most of my life I had been lonely. With my ADHD I could barley stay still and kids thought it was weird. I was an outsider. A freak.

My mother didn't help either. She got drunk and always yelled at me when I got in her 'way'. When I was bout 9 the beatings began. She got crazed and would hurt me with whatever she found. It was horrible. But I learned not to cry. It makes things worse.

Where's my father you ask? Well I don't have one. The little jerk decided to leave me and that woman. Thunder rumbled in the sky which was pretty weird since it was really hot. So yes I'm completely alone.

A kid a little bit older than me with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes sat in my table and looked behind him. I stared at him.

"What do you want?", I asked with a cold voice.

"Nothing. I'm just hiding from them." This guy was really creepy.

"From who?"

He leaned in and looked around and told me the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. " Greek Gods aren't real moron.", I said. Once again thunder rumbled in the sky. Creepy.

" And how would you know?", he asked me.

"Because anyone sane enough would obviously know they aren't real. So my point is your insane."

He smirked and turned around. He looked concerned and worried. " What's the real reason your hiding from them? Whoever that is."

" I told you already! If you believe me that's fine with me!", he yelled.

Suddenly the kid stared at my head with wide eyes. I was getting creep out so I looked up. I had a lightning bolt in it.

" You Zeus' daughter", he said. Look I would have jus slapped the kid but the thing looked so real I just had to believe him.

"What's your name?" , I asked him.

" Luke. Luke Castellan.", he said. "You?"

" I'm Thalia. Thalia Grace."

We left the store after that. He explained the whole deal with Greek gods to me. He said he needed somewhere to stay and I told him I did too. We walked down the streets and I got ready for my new life with my new friend Luke Castellan.

Well that's all. Thanks for reading. Review.
