Chapter 1- Percy

The first one off the boat was Annabeth. Her blond hair flew in a straight line behind her as she ran towards him. His eyes made out the shape of her lips. Percy. Tears made rivers down her cheeks.

She stopped before him breathless.

She tilted her head and stared at him, watching his eyes. Who was gonna talk first?

"Annabeth," he said.

Her face lit up and she fell into him, the force of it bringing them both to the ground. She sat up from against his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You idiot, Seaweed Brain!"

She put her face into his sholder and he waited till the flow of tears soaking into his shirt stopped.

"I missed you...so much," Percy said, and kissed her forehead.

As they untangeled themselves, Percy felt stares against his back. He glanced back. Reyma, not looking at him, seemed to be searching for someone desperatley. Hazel looked sick, and Frank looked surprised. Octavian was frowning and mumbling. This was going well.

He turned backed to the Greek campers. It was weird to think of them as greeks.

"PERCY, YOU IDIOT," Clarrise shouted from the front. She came forward.

"You'd think you'd have learned you have enemies by now," she said, frowning. She looked at Annabeth and back at him.

"Well, its good you're alive. I haven't beat you up yet, and Annabeth's love-sickness was annoying," she mumbled.

Percy laughed, feeling comfortable.

"I missed you too, Clarrise," he said.

From behind the daughter of Ares stepped out someone Percy found vaguely familiar. There was a gasp behind him and muttering as a blond boy stepped forward.

"Reyma," he said, "It's me."

"Jason," Reyma said, pushing past Percy. She started towards him and slowed down greatly when a pretty girl with brown hair and eyes that changed colors standing next to Jason. Daughter of Aphroditie, Percy noted.

"You're okay...," Reyma said, surveying the Greek campers.

"Ouch," Jason said. He turned toward the Roman Campers and started walking towards him.

"Did you guys think I was dead or something? You could have a little faith inyour Praetor, gosh," he said, smiling as he reached Frank and did some kind of guy handshake-pat-on-the-back thing.

Percy turned back to the Greek campers, knowing suddenly who Jason reminded him of. He searched for her in the crowd. Failing, he turned back towards Annabeth, feeling suddenly alone.

"Where's Thalia?"

Chapter Two- Leo

Leo found himself wondering about Thalia and her relationship with Percy as he ate dinner. The Romans were okay, he had concluded, they hadn't blown the demigods out of the sky, but the certainly didn't seem to like them. He saw it in Jason's face after Jason called a Roman "Senate" meeting, and left with the Reyma girl and whole bunch of other people.

Leo heard a sigh and looked up. He found himself looking at Percy, leader of Camp Half Blood, legendary demigod. He found himself forgetting every question he had told Piper he wanted to ask. Someone cleared their throat, and Leo noticed that he was sitting at a Cabin Leader meeting.

The atomosphere was awkward. Percy seemed lost in space.

Annabeth nodded at Leo. Introduce yourself, her eyes seemed to say.

"Oh, uh," Leo started, "I'm Leo Valdez, I'm the new leader of the Fetus Cabin."

Percy smiled.

"Percy," he said, extending his hand. Then he frowned. "Fetus?"

"Oh...That's short for Hephateus," Leo mumbled.

"Right," Percy said. He turned to Piper. "Daughter of Aphroditie, right?"

Piper looked a bit dazed. "Yeah...I'm the cabin leader. How did you know?"

"Your eyes," Percy said. Piper looked confused, and often her mouth to say, it but Percy turned back towards Annabeth. Introductions were clearly over.

"When is she coming?" Percy asked. "Ididn't know...She never told me...," he said frowning. He looked at the table, then back up at Annabeth.

"Did Thalia ever tell you she had a brother?"

Annabeth looked at him, frowning. "No...Percy. I think this isn't something you need to stress out about. She will be here soon and you can ask her anything you want then. Thalia never talked about her family. Luke found out who her mother was on accident."

Leo was confused. Did Percy know Thalia so well he knew Jason was her brother on sight?

There was a loud noise. A weird statue-thingy started screaming.

"PERCY! PERCY JACKSON! Someone is invading camp!," it said.

Percy turned towards the statue. He looked up at the sky. What was Percy looking at? Leo looked up, and the grey-blue sky had turned dark-dark blue, with grey clouds. It looked like there was going to be a storm. A lightning storm.

And sure enough, in direction of camp, came the sound of feet, running towards camp.

Chapter 3- Piper

At the sound of what Piper could only guess was the Hunters of Artemis, the Roman campers came running of the boat, armed. Annabeth seemed slightly bewildered at his.

"That's just Thalia...," she said. The Roman campers weren't listening. After getting nothing more than glares, Annabeth stayed quiet. Then Jason came.

He came running off the boat, golden hair pointing backwards, sweating hard. His sleeves were rolled up and he looked like he had been carrying some heavy boxes. Piper stepped towards him, her lips formed his name, until she saw Reyma right behind him. Reyma gave glared at

Piper and stuck her nose in the air superiorly. She marched down to the armed Romans who had gathered and began pushing her way to the front. Jason had stopped, however. He was looking from Percy to the direction of town and back again. He frowned, and caught Piper looking at him. Piper gave him what she hoped was a kind, empathetic smile. A vision of her dad's dimpled cheeks flashed in her head, but she pushed it away, hoping her smile wasn't strained.

Jason shook his head as he passed Piper. "This is crazy," he mumbled, smiling. He walked till he was a little in front of Reyma.

Thalia came out of a thicket of trees in the direction of town Jason had described to them earlier. She was the same, spiky black hair, electric blue eyes like Jason's, and the hunters, well organized and frowning at the many boys, behind her. Thalia smiled, as she put a hand up, and only the four girls closest to her followed as she walked to Percy.

"Percy Jackson...," she said.

Piper found herself seeing what Annabeth had meant. They really do talk si milarly, Piper thought. Thalia enveloped Percy in a hug. The smile on her face turned to a frown, and little blue sparks seemed to come of from Percy's body everywhere at once. Piper was confused. Was Thalia...Was Thalia shocking him? The Camp Half-Blood kids seemed okay with this. They blocked Reyma, as she yelled something about Percy being wrong. Thalia released Percy, andhe fell to the floor.

He looked up at her. Shocks coursed his body.

"Powerful as ever, Thalia," he said.

Thalia glared at him.

"You seaweed brain," she started, "Do you have anyidea how worried I've been? It proves idiot you're if you fall for something as stupid as being drugged! And is that a tattoo? I went personally to tell your mom you'd be fine at Camp Jupiter and you went an got a tattoo? Nico said something stupid about going to the doors by himself and that didn't remind you of anything at all? I can't believe you let him go!"

Thalia frowned at him. She stepped forward and offered him a hand.

"Get up, idiot," she mumbled.

Percy stood up.

"You came from towards town," he said.

"So?"

"Did you see it?" Percy sounded like a little kid describing the toy they want for christmas. "The town? The college? It's safe here, Thalia. They have a town inside the border! They can have a normal life here...I can have a normal life here...Me and Annabeth can."

Thalia looked like she was going to be sick. Percy seemed confused.

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

Thalia looked at Percy like he had just said the moon was made of cheese.

Chapter 4- Jason

Jason couldn't care less about what Percy was saying. They hadn't had much interaction but Jason could tell he and Percy would have issues. It was obivious Thalia had issues with Percy at the moment too, but what were they? What Percy was saying about town was solid. There was a full-functioning town inside the Camp Jupiter magical and borders, and it was completley safe. Most demigods who married other demigods stayed there, where their children would be safe from monsters.

Thalia picked up Percy'c hand and squeezed it.

"Of course," she said. She sounded like she was singing a song and her eyes were glazed and looking right through Percy.

"I care about you. I want you to be happy and safe."

She looked at Percy, with a sad smile. Jason felt panic rising in his throat. Something had changed in Thalia's manner...What was it? Something was wrong. Jason began pushing throught the throng ogf campers...There were so many now that the two camps were together. How were they not seeing something was wrong with Thalia!

Thalia let go of Percy's hands and just looked at him for a split second. And right before she turned to look at annabeth, Thalia mumbled something to Percy. It was to soft for Jason to hear, but he could read Thalia's lips, and the placement of words because they were so much like his own. I have to do this.

She turned away from Annabeth to her second-in command behind her. What was her name...Pheobe. Then Thalia took of her silver crown that signified her position as Leutenant, and put it on Pheobe's head. Jason had finally reached the front.

"Thalia!"

She turned around and faced Jason, and a tear ran down her cheek. She turned away from him quickly, and hurried in the opposite direction.

"Sis!," Jason called. He couldn't run after her, for he had to turn away from the glow that signified a god here at camp.

INFO: okay so, I'ma complete book nerd: extreme harry potter, hunger games, mortal instruments fangirl-to-the-death and Thalia is my favorite character so naturally I give her a big role in this series because her character was neglected in the last one. Yeah.

Chapter 5- Frank

Frank was really confused. Who was Thalia? How did Percy and Jason know her? Weren't people from different camps not supposed to know of each other's existence? Mabye Thalia got insider info because she was the daughter of Jupiter. Nico DiAngelo had known about both camps, and he was the son of Hades...

The glow faded and Frank turned back towards the chaos in front of him. Percy and Jason looked horrified and confused. Anabeth looked frozen. Reyma was whispering to Queen Hylla in a rushed down and kept looking at Jason.

Where the glow had been was now not one, not two, but …...many gods! Math had never been Frank's strong point, but there was definetley more than five. He could count higher, but it seemed to him that only one of these gods mattered. The one in front. Well, I guess, that's Zeus, Frank thought, as he plopped down on one knee. He noticed that the Greek campers had remained standing and were looking at him strangley and rather snobbishly. Percy had remained standing, and so had Jason, both looking utterly focused on the scene in front of them.

"It's not like you to ask for a favor, daughter," Zeus said.

Thalia didn't respond. Frank wondered what kind of look she had on her face. This seemed like a conversation between two very confident people.

Zeus's focuses shifted to 'percy for just a second. He frowned.

"While I am proud that you are such a natural leader that you would do this to protect others, your...attachment to the son of Poseidon is rather...concerning," he said.

"I'm not like you, I guess," Thalia said. "I need family. I build myself a new one every time you destroy it. I would do anything to protect it. And I don't trust anyone to do it for me."

Zeus frowned. Hera stood up and pointed at Thalia.

"She can't speak to you that way!"

Zeus gave Hera a look that said SIT DOWN plain and clear.

"I can deal with my own daughter. You have nothing to do with Thalia. We agreed on that when Jason was born," he said.

Hera sat down, fuming. Zeus turned back towards Thalia.

"I am proud of you. You are everything I am and more. I know made the right choice in saving you. No matter how much you hate me, you must agree that your brother was fine with out you?"

Thalia's body shook violently. She gave him a stiff nod.

Zeus sighed.

"I guess it's your decision. Pull out your spear."

She pulled out a small canister that popped up into a spear. Zeus lightly touched the tip of it, and for a millisecond, it glowed. Zeus gave her a small smile.

"Remember to state your purpose," he said.

Thalia turned around, still holding her spear, turned till she faced Percy. She seemed to be looking right through him. It took Frank till that moment to relaize she was looking at the girls she had came to cmap with, who were standing behind Percy. Sorry, she mouthed.

With a determined look, she drove the spear into her abdomen and collapsed with blood flowing down her shirt.

"Expand the border...but keep it strong, build a town where all demigods can be safe...transfer my power to the border," she said in a strangely loud and echoey voice. She gasped as the spear split in two and the other half, glowing went flying into a weird cloud that had a picture of a tree on it.

There was a slam. Frank looked back over. Percy had fallen to the ground. Frank pushed through till he got to Percy and laid one hand one Percy's arm.

Percy looked up at him, pale as a ghost.

"Her tree...the border...IT's all my fault," he said, shaking.

There was a noice from in front, almost like a door slamming.

"I'm back! I was succesful! They didn't doubt me for a second...," the tall blond boy speaking froze as he took in Thalia. In a flash, he was by her side, pushing on her wound, pulling her head into his lap. But something was wrong.

"Luke...," Percy said.

INFO: YESSSS! I ADORE luke castellan, had to incorporate him somehow! I really

think Thuke is soooo adorbs! GO AWAY if you don't.

Hi, Guys, I'm Hermes.

I just wanted to let you know that Luke is not dead. Never dead. Got it?

Oh and for the record, Luke defeated Kronos, not Percy Jackson. He's okay and all but Luke is the real hero.

Chapter 5- piper

Piper was almost positive that Annabeth had said that this "Luke" was dead. Well, she was positive that Annabeth had said that Luke was dead. But obivously he was not, if the blond boy holding Thalia was Luke.

He looked up to face Zeus anger in his face.

"Do you enjoy hurting your own daughter? So much for her being your favorite child...She's suffered the most of anyone!"

The boy's light blue eyes glowed, and Piper noticed a glow around his body getting stronger. He wasn't a demigod...He was a real god, Piper relaized.

"I disagree," Zeus said. "Thalia and I made an agreement where I can not affect her in anyway that she does not ask for. I can't give her godhood, even though she deserves it. My daughter...She has been through a lot of pain. You know that more than anyone, you've always been the person closest to her. Perphaps... She does not want to live."

Luke looked stunned.

"No...," Anabeth said. Her whole body was vibrating and she was shaking her head no so fast, Piper was worried it might fall off. "NO. Thalia...Don't leave me."

"I don't understand...," Luke said. "Thalia would never...That guy is stupid, she knows that...Why would she...," he looked up suddenly, right at one of the other seated gods.

What was the name? Piper struggled to remember. Oh, right, she thought, Apollo, the god of prophecies.

Luke turned back towards Thalia, leaning in closely to her head, whispered something in her ear.

"What...," Thalia said weakly. "No...he didn't say that...I...That can't be...No..."

Thalia looked at Luke's face and for a moment, they seemed to have a telepathic connection, a private world, where it was only them. It was romantic, in a weird way.

She turned to Zeus.

"Godhood...please...Immortality...help Annabeth...," seeing Zeus's confusion, Thalia struggled to put together a sentence.

"I'll... go between you and the demigods. Please. Give me immortality."

Zeus smiled. He walked up to her and pulled her into his arms as if she was a child. She began to glow vibrantly.

"I am proud of you," he said, "You will lead us to defeat Gaea."

It was then that Piper realized that Thalia had not shead a single tear.

Chapter 6- Hazel

Hazel was cold. It was weird cuz she was squished on a log with 8 other people. There was even a fire going at their feet. Hazel still felt cold in the awkward tension. Not that it wasn't justified. Thalia was Percy's cousin, Jason's sister and practically Annabeth's mother. And they had just watched her almost bleed to death. Hazel could relate. The other two greek campers, Piper and Leo Valdez, seemed to know Thalia pretty well too.
