Thalia's POV

I'm Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus. That's all you really need to know. Oh yeah, I'm also a top-class assassin. Maybe you think I'm evil, or on the dark side, and you know what? You're right. After World War Two when the Big Three made their pact to have no more children, they also agreed that it was the fault of the seductive nature of women that started the war. This made all female demigods second-class to males. It also meant that the daughters of Athena, Demeter, and Aphrodite were pretty much screwed. Their sons were okay but basically if you're a female demigod, your life sucks.

My best friend Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and I ran away from this world when we were seven. (A/N: Let's pretend that they're the same age). And that's when Artemis took us in. She trained us to be top class warriors, teaching us secret ancient methods of fighting that hadn't been used in centuries. She also taught us the secrets ancient female demigods had used in ancient time, like using Chinese women's script, the Amazonians' fighting techniques, and the sword tricks the Lady Knights of the Middle Ages had created.

But soon Zeus found out what Artemis was doing and forced her to stay in Olympus forever. Before he took her, Artemis sent us into hiding where we formed our own camp.

Annabeth and I met other female demigods and they joined our camp.

Katie Gardner, daughter of Demeter with long brown hair and blue eyes was put in charge because everyone got along with her. Juniper, a pretty dryad with chestnut colored hair and green eyes was her second in command. Annabeth was a blond, but don't get me wrong. She is nothing like your stereotypical dumb blond. Her stormy gray eyes were always calculating and since she is a daughter of Athena, she's our chief strategist.

Silena, daughter of Aphrodite designed our armor (it's pretty stylish) along with other weapons that looked like normal girl stuff (like perfume that can knock a person out for a 12 hours). Silena looked like the embodiment of Aphrodite herself because she looked just like a model. Clarisse, daughter of Ares was our Commander in Chief. Clarisse has really gotten pretty over the past few years with her short brown hair and hazel eyes. I've got spiky black hair and bright blue eyes but I'm not really as drop dead gorgeous as my friends. But that's okay because I'm top assassin, spy, warrior…whatever you want to call me.

We've been in hiding for ten years, and now I'm seventeen. We trained like there's no tomorrow and we have to be twice as careful to avoid the male gods and monsters. Athena, Hera, Hestia, Aphrodite, and Demeter have pretended to not know our camp exists but I know they look out for us because we haven't been discovered yet.

But we can't hide here forever. I think our best bet to break out of this world is to capture the demigod sons of Hades and Poseidon. I don't know who they are but I think we should find them, and kill them.

Which brings me back to the present. I'm on my way to a secret meeting on what we should do when we find these sons.

I walked into the Demeter cabin, where we held all our important meetings. I nodded at Clarisse who was arguing with Silena against having pink armor and grinned at Annabeth who was on her laptop, probably designing something. Juniper was playing with some grass. I dunno why. Must be a dryad thing.

"Thalia! You're here, finally." Katie said.

"Yeah, sorry I'm late. I had to take a detour because I ran into some empousai. Don't worry, I handled it." I said casually.

"Omigods! Are you okay?" Silena asked. Yeah she's a total girl but also a sweetheart. Actually Silena has a pretty violent streak if you threaten the people she loves.

"Yeah I'm fine. Now back to business. Assassinate the sons of Hades and Poseidon?" I said casually, once more.

They all looked uncomfortable. Well except for Clarisse, "Do we really have to kill them?" Annabeth said.

"Well, what else should we do with them? Hold them hostage?" I asked sarcastically.

"Actually that's a better idea," said Katie nodding, "They're more valuable alive than dead."

"What if we took hostages from every male god? Instead of just Big Three children?" Silena suggested.

"Why?" I asked, "That requires more planning and more people. I thought just Annabeth and I were going."

"Thalia, we're one family here. We've always got each other's back. Do you honestly think I'm going to send you and Annabeth into Camp Half-Blood, enemy territory without any backup?" Katie said in that motherly way of hers.

"And let you have all the fun?" Clarisse grinned, "No way in Hades."

"I'm coming too!" Juniper squeaked up. We all looked her doubtfully, "Look, maybe I am a dryad and not a demigod but life hasn't been so great for us either! I am coming and that is that!" Wow. Fiesty.

"Aww guys, you're making me emotional here." I said, pretending to wipe a tear from my eye, "Alright we're all going."

"Yay!" Silena cheered, "I totally want to try out my new perfume!"

"So we're taking a son from every male god?" Clarisse asked.

"Yup." Annabeth said, "It makes more sense, logically."

"Okay who do we have? Poseidon, Hades, Hermes, Apollo, Dionysus, Hephaestus…Am I missing anyone?" I listed.

"Ares?" Silena asked. Clarisse shot her a dirty look, "Um, nevermind."

"We have no quarrel with Apollo. He's Artemis's twin and never was interested in trapping her. And Dionysus has only one or two kids and they aren't important enough to capture." Annabeth said. I could see the gears turning in her head.

"Maybe we should take more than one Hermes kid? He has a million kids, taking only one son seems kinda stupid." Katie asked. We all nodded.

"Let's get their chief satyr too." Juniper said.

"Alrighty." Clarisse muttered, "You get the Goat-Boy."

"Okay so here's our game plan." Annabeth said, "We sneak in at night, knock them out with the perfume Silena created, and bring them back here?"

"That's pretty much it. We all need to pick a camper." I said.

"Okay, Silena you take a Hephaestus kid. Maybe they'll be more susceptible to you because Aphrodite's your mother who is the wife of Hephaestus." Annabeth suggested. Silena agreed.

"Katie and I will infiltrate the Hermes cabin." Clarisse said.

Katie nodded, "Yeah, there's going to be a lot of people in there so we're gonna need a lot of perfume."

"Juniper, you get the goat-kid, kay?" Annabeth said.

"Kay!" Juniper said cheerfully. We all smiled at her cuteness.

"Okay, Annabeth you hit the Poseidon cabin since Athena and Poseidon have that rivalry over the tree or the water fountain or something." I grinned. I knew Annabeth hated it when I put her mother's achievements so casually.

Annabeth shot me a dirty look, "It was for the patronage of Athens! It was more than just a tree!"

"Whatever…okay so I'll get the Hades cabin because Hades is practically the opposite of Zeus?" I asked.

"Yup, go fry that kid to a crisp." Clarisse said evilly.

"Sky vs. Underworld. Wish I could see it." Annabeth smirked.

I rolled my eyes, "Good luck, ladies."

What do you think? I like having an adventure story…plus who doesn't love feisty Juniper? LOL review! :D
