A little one-shot about Thalia

~ daughter of Poseidon

The pain… it was too much to handle.

It didn't go away…and became worse when he died.

He loved her… at least he said he did.

So she sacrificed her life for him and Annabeth.

Five years later she's alive again… and she finds that he betrayed her.

You try to reason with him… remind him of your love for him.

Does it work? No, instead of running to hug her, he steps closer to bring in a death blow.

So she tries to forget about him, about the happy times they shared.

She even gives up boys for the rest of her pathetic immortal life.

But nothing stops the nightmares, she stands in his embrace…

And then he starts to say he loves her, but his eyes turn to gold and he kills her.

She wakes up screaming and wakes up to find it isn't only a dream….its true.

He wants to kill her, and he might get the chance.

So she stays away from him, never tries to look for him or the love they once had.

You're happy as a hunter for a while but then you see him in the fight against the Titans.

And all the pain is back…so instead of facing him, you run.

You run like the coward you are, just like you ran from the prophecy…

Because you knew if you were to fulfill it, you would have to face him.

So you save Annabeth so you don't have to see him.

Then when you're saved and the war is over…you found that he died a hero.

You are finally happy, he saved the world in the end just like you wanted him to.

But you didn't have a chance to say goodbye or tell him that you still loved him.

So you stand by his grave and you tell him that you never stopped loving him.

You pour out all the love you have for him, but he's gone.

He's not there to hug her and tell her he loves her too.

But you know he's in Elysium.

And that thought alone makes the pain a little more bareable.

So you continue to hunt with Artemis.

Because you think you will never love another man again.

But there is one boy… as he gets older you realize just how important he is in your life.

He's your friend, and he always had your back.

You know its wrong, because you're a hunter. And you feel like you've betrayed your first love.

But he helps you forget about the boy who broke your heart.

Maybe men aren't as bad as you thought…at least this son of Hades is proving you wrong every time you see him.

So you kiss him… and he doesn't pull away.

He picks up the pieces of your heart and he holds them together.

You know you love him, and you give up immortality and being a hunter for him.

He tells you he loves you over and over again.

But after three years you find he's lied to you.

He breaks your heart into smaller pieces then before.

And you know you can't go back to Artemis…she would never understand.

So the years go by and you never trust another man.

You see Annabeth grow up and have a happy family with the man she loves… and you know that will never be you.

You don't love anyone because you find that all they do is break your heart until there is nothing left to break.

So as your dying, all alone, your heart is broken.

No one ever loved her… they said they did but they lied.

When you reach Elysium you see the man that first broke your heart.

He smiles at you and kisses you with so much emotion that you know all the pieces of your heart will be put together again.

By her first love, the one man she never stopped loving.

So you live in Elysium forever, and for once your not alone.

You have Luke.

Hope you like it! R&R…thanks!
