Thalia POV:

I was in a forest with the rest of the Hunters. My friend Violet and I were shooting targets. Violet had blond hair and brown eyes that reminded me of the best chocolate from Manhattan. The though of Manhattan made me think about all my friends back at Camp Half-Blood and how much I missed them. I really wanted to go back to camp for a while but I knew Artemis would never let me go to camp on my own.

"Thalia you there? Thalia? THALIA?" Violet said shaking me out of my thoughts.

" What?" I asked wondering what happened.

"You just froze. Like I was waiting for you to shoot the target and you freeze and you weren't replying. What's wrong?"

"Um nothing. Why would you think anything is wrong?" I stuttered.

"Come on Thalia just tell me I'm you best friend!" Violet said.

"Fine. I really want to go back to Camp Half Blood for a while but I don't want to ask Artemis because I know she will say no and I know she will think that I don't want to be in the Hunters anymore and she might kick me out." I quickly said.

"Just ask her. I'll come with you if you want". Violet suggested.

"Ok. Lets go now before dark." I said.

So Violet and I gathered our bows and quivers and ran toward Artemis's tent. As we approached I heard arguing inside. I slowly opened the curtain to see Artemis and her brother Apollo arguing. They both froze as I entered the tent.

"Um Artemis do you have a minute or should I come back later?" I asked trying not to make I contact with Apollo but I saw him wink at me.

"No Thalia it's fine. Come in." Artemis sighed.

"Can I go to Camp Half Blood for a month?" I asked with my fingers crossed behind my back. I heard Violet giggle.

"Yes but you must be back in 1 month." Artemis said.

"Ok. But how do I get to camp?" I asked.

"I'll take her." Apollo said.

"Ok." I said, "When do we leave?"

"Now." Apollo said opening the tent for me. I sighed as I walked out.

Apollo POV

Damn Thalia was hot. I was so happy when I could take her to Camp. Not only do I get a chance to talk to her, I get to be with her for an hour. Thalia sat next to me in my Lamborghini sun chariot and I was trying to figure out what to say. Finally I got the courage to talk to her.

" So how's life with being a hunter?" I asked her.

"Um good I guess." She said quietly.

"Um this may be a bit personal but have you ever liked someone while you were in the hunters?" I asked looking at her beautiful eyes.

"Yes I have and its hard because I can't date the person even if I could." Thalia said.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"Think." She said. "Thanks for dropping me off. I'll see you soon."

Then she ran towards the hill. I couldn't stop thinking about her. Her eyes, her attitude, her hotness. Wait. I thought. Do I have a crush on Thalia?!
