I don't own PJO.

Now I don't really ship Thaluke, but I respect them so here you go.

I smiled at the new camper that just walked in Hermes cabin. Same thing every time. I sighed.

"Chris, get this kid set up, okay? I'll be back."

"Alright, Luke,"

I walked out of the cabin and made my way to the tree at the top of Half-blood hill. Thalia's tree. I sat at the base.

"You're an idiot, you know?" I said to it, tears coming to my eyes. "Why did you have to be so loyal? Why couldn't you be more selfish? "

I honestly had no idea if she could hear me or not but...this was more for me. I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall.

"I miss you." I whispered. Somehow I knew she could hear that. "I miss your black hair. I miss your leather jacket. I miss those stupid skull earrings. I miss you."

I stood up and put my hand on the rough bark. "I'll avenge you. I promise. I'll do whatever it takes."

This time I walked away from her tree knowing what I would do to keep the promiseI've told that tree multiple times.

Hope you enjoyed it, Charlena is also up. It is another story all together not another chapter.
