Thalia's P.O.V.
It was a cold night as me, Percy and Annabeth huddled together in the Poseidon cabin, as we'd normally do when it was more than ten degrees below zero at nights. We would have a beer, talk about life, have a couple of laughs and then pass off in Percy's huge bedroom. It never got intense, not with me anyway. They were together, happy and in love, which sometimes hurt me and made me feel like the odd-one-out. On some nights when they did it I would naturally leave to give them some privacy. I remember one time Annabeth asked if I wanted to join in, which Percy didn't mind at all, but I figured she was pretty knocked up and it was the booze talking. Besides, it would not feel right. As much as I wanted to have sex, the timing just wasn't right.
I slipped out of bed silently to close the window that was tapping irritatively against the frame, not to wake up Percy and Annabeth who were as close to each other as they could get. Normally Annabeth was in the middle, but this time it just happened that it was Percy. I didn't mind, heck, I even enjoyed it! It was nice being close to a boy, even if I knew that he wasn't mine and all I could do is wish that someday I would be as happy as Annabeth. I leaned against the window sealing the gap after which I gave a deep sigh. Something outside glinted in the black, milky sky. Instinctively, I looked up and noticed a falling star. Instantaneously memories of Annabeth telling me how I should think of a wish when I saw a falling star flooded back. Hell, I had nothing to lose. Smiling under my nose, I muttered.
"To find my true love."
I looked up into the sky and the star was soaring towards the horizon and soon it vanished. I turned round and went back into bed, shivering throughout the entire way. Swiftly sneaking in to the bed I dived under the blanket, shaking uncontrollably due to the temperature change. I lay there for a while, my back facing Percy. I had no idea whether my wish would come true and if there was at least an ounce of truth in the falling star case. But it was better than just blindly hoping that I'd find my other half some day.
I lay in bed, my thoughts repelling the sleep that constantly attempted to invade my mind. Suddenly, I felt a warm mass press against my entire body and two arms wrapping around my breasts and waist. It was Percy. I blushed and wanted to throw his arms off but it was just too good. I cherished the moment imagining how some day I would be lucky like that, to have my boyfriend lying with me and hugging me tightly. Not knowing what to do, I simply did what came in to my mind first. I turned my head around and kissed Percy in the lips. I regretted it the same moment and felt bad for doing it. He pressed me closer to himself.
"I love you, Annabeth" he whispered still sleeping.
I became somewhat dissapointed and shoved away from his hold. It was foolish of me to even think that he saw something in me. Even if, he was Annabeth's anyway and we swore to each other never to steal a boyfriend of each other.
Taking one last deep breath, I eventually gave up the sleep resistance and passed out into the realm of dreams.
A/N: Just a short prologue, because basically… Thalia's wish will come true, but things will get really twisted. Update tomorrow, have a good read!
