Thalia's POV

"Girls! There is a meeting that I must attend at Olympus, so Thalia will be in charge. All of you will be brought to Camp Half-Blood tomorrow by my brother," Lady Artemis said, while she assembled us for a meeting around the campfire.

The hunters groaned at the sound of Apollo's name, which seemed to amuse Lady Artemis.

"Now, I want all of you to be at your best behavior. I don't want to hear any complaints from Chiron at all," Lady Artemis said firmly.

"Yes my Lady," the hunters and I said in unison, as Lady Artemis waved her hand and dismissed us to pack our things and get ready for bed.

I was secretly screaming with excitement inside my mind. I was just so excited to visit camp again! It was like my second home, but the others huntresses hated camp. They thought that all males were inconsiderate, useless, and idiotic.

Anyways, I should probably introduce myself. I am Thalia daughter of Zeus, and the Lieutenant of Artemis. You probably know me as the girl who was turned into a tree and was brought back to life by the Golden Fleece. Blah blah blah, gods, I sound like Mr. D.

Lady Artemis told us that we were to be ready to leave early tomorrow morning. I packed all of my stuff into a duffel bag, said goodnight to Artemis and the other huntresses, and finally went to sleep.

At dawn, I woke up from the sound of Apollo and Artemis bickering. Oh joy! How many times do they have to argue anyways? This is just great! I rolled my eyes, and listened to whatever they were arguing about.

"But little sis, I saw it! My oracle did as well! I'm sorry, but it will happen no matter what you try to do."

"First of all Apollo, if you value your immortal life then I suggest for you to NOT call me your little sis! My hunters will never fall for a boy!" Lady Artemis hissed. "I doubt that my trustworthy…."

That's all I heard because Lord Apollo cut off her sentence saying they could be heard or something, I sighed. Well, there's no point in going back to sleep since I was going to have to get up soon anyways. I put on black skinny jeans, my Green Day T-shirt, a pair of converse and my usual black eyeliner. Once I was done, I walked around the camp and woke up the rest of the hunters and told them to get ready because we are leaving soon. I walked outside to wait for them, as they got ready. Once Lady Artemis saw me, she strode back into her tent and shut the flap, leaving me outside alone with the cool breezy air. I wonder what that whole conversation was about. Lady Artemis usually says good morning to me everyday. My thoughts were cut short when Lord Apollo approached me.

"Hello sweetheart, I see you are excited to get to camp," he smirked as I glared at him. I wanted to slap the stupid smirk off his face, but shook that thought out of my head and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Apollo, I think Lady Artemis would be excited to hear about your flirting with her huntresses. But other than that, yes I am excited very excited to go to camp." Now it was my turn to smirk back at him, as his face fell at the threat I held out against him.

"Cut the formality crap Thalia, just call me Apollo," he said as he smiled that stupid smile of his. "I'm sorry, I forgot that you were single." I rolled my eyes at him. "Oh but sweetheart I know your dirty little secret with the son of Hades!" He said with a wink, while he walked away, leaving me there with my mouth wide open with shock. Kayla, one of my closest friends in the hunt went up to me and laughed.

"Thals why the face? What did Lord Apollo want with you?" Kayla asked.

It took me a couple more minutes before I snapped out of my shock. "Huh? Oh, uh … nothing just the usual flirting," I said, leaving out the son of Hades part.

"Oh ok, I just wanted to tell you we are all ready." She said.

"Ok, thanks," I replied, desperate to change the topic.

I told all the hunters to form a straight line by Apollo's sun chariot or car as he likes to call it. Lady Artemis was arguing with her brother about who was better at archery. I smirked, Lady Artemis is so going to win this.

"Okay sweethearts enter my awesome car in a straight line!" Apollo said in his stupid sing song voice. "Hahaha hey sis," Apollo said, while Lady Artemis just glared at him. "I need someone for shot gun so I'll take Thalia ok?"

"Why?" I whined like a 4 year old. Gods how mature am I?

"Hah! Cause I said so that's why," Apollo said with triumph.

"Lady Artemis? Please?" I begged desperately.

"Sorry Thalia I'm afraid you'll have to ride shot gun with my brother."

"Fine," I said as I crossed my arms and pouted.

Suddenly Lady Artemis put her hands on my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes. "I am afraid you'll just have to deal with it Thalia. I'm sorry. Goodbye okay?"

I nodded my head and said goodbye back to her as I climbed into Apollo's car. That is not how she usually says goodbye I thought to myself. She just waves and says see you later; she's never like that. I looked outside for the last time. Artemis looked like she was crying. Apollo gave her one last hug, and closed the doors.

"Who's ready to go to camp?" Apollo said happily. When nobody answered him, he just started the engine and drove straight up into the sky. I tried my best not to look out the windows because of my fear of heights. Once I made sure that no one was paying attention to Apollo and I, I turned slightly in my seat to talk to him.

"Lord Apollo?" I sighed, no answer just another stupid smirk

"Apollo?" I growled.

"Yes Thalia? What does the pretty girl need help with?" I rolled my eyes and sighed

"First, I am not that pretty, and second can you please not tell anyone about …" I lowered my voice a bit. "A certain son of Hades? Thanks."

"Yes you are pretty Thalia! As your awesome big brother, I promise … wait no, I swear on the river Styx not tell anyone about your dirty little secret."

Thunder rumbled in the distance, and I knew that he meant it. I smiled and rolled my eyes at him, while he just laughed at nothing in particular.

"Thanks Apollo"

"Anything for a pretty girl!" He said.

After about twenty minutes, we started to descend lower and lower until the car landed on the ground.

"Alright everybody! We're here!" Apollo said.
