Hello, back again. Long weekend sorry and don't ask, it involved a lot of getting attacked by six year olds so...We are just going to back away from that subject. This is a fairly short chapter here just so I can torture you guys about what will happen next with Percy, but now you know what will happen to Thalia. Nico will come in later so he won't cause too much trouble. Ew I sound like Hera, but other than that I hope you enjoy this little chapter, I will try to post soon. Pray my sister won't steal the computer.

"JASON, JASON"! Seven year old Thalia cried into the wind. How could this happen, their mother said they were going on a vacation to America where humans are fat and unsuspecting, not this. They visited New York, then flew to the grand canyon, now they were in a random forest in California. Thalia didn't know it wasn't so random.

Wind tore through the trees drowning out the calls for her little brother. She sniffed the air for the unusual scent of her half ghoul brother, a scent they both shared. "JASON". Nothing, nothing except the smell of wet pines, grass, and mud. Her little brother was nowhere to be found.

Thalia fell to her knees in a puddle full of mud, cold wet earth seeping through the knees on her pants and little rocks poking them. She didn't care. Another ghoul's kagune can impale her guts out and stay in her body so when she healed, the skin would grow on it right now, but it wouldn't fase her. Jason was gone, that sweet little blonde haired chubby thing that stuck everything in his mouth, was gone. Her little brother.

Nothing would stop the tears, then the rain started, coming down with cracks of thunder behind them. She immediately became soaked from head to foot. Her little brother was gone, taken by wolves, all because of their stupid drunk of a mother. True she is a famous pop star back in Tokyo, and a full time ghoul mom, but she always felt sorry for herself. Oh the man she loved didn't give her what she wanted, but instead gave her a child who could see through her selfishness. Then he came back to give her another child and not what she wanted. Then instead of doing something about it, she would get drunk till brain damage and leave her daughter to take care of her three year old son. Then she goes off and gives that boy to a pack of wild animals while Thalia was getting them all coffee from the Starbucks nearby.

"Thalia, Thalia"! A voice broke through the wind and thunder. Lightning flashed in the girl's anger, it was her mother. "Thalia dear", her mother's voice purred in her ear. A weight was pressed on her shoulder, making the black shirt squelch between the pale fingers. "I know you are upset, but I needed to do it. You won't understand yet, but it was too dangerous to keep you two together, there is someone out there who would have killed you if I didn't do it…" She didn't finish, just then Thalia grabbed her neck and threw her to the ground. Lightning flailed around in the sky, illuminating everything around them to the point there wasn't a blink of darkness.

Thalia rolled her neck and it made a horrific crack that sounded like the virtibre had broken. The shadows of the trees flickered from the moving lightning and stood out like apparitions. Thalia was so angry, she didn't even notice some of that lightning was sprouting out of her back and taking a form that looked like the wings of a butterfly. They crackled and burned, sizzling the branches and rain coming down upon them.

Her mother sat on the ground, frozen in terror at her daughter's face that would give children nightmares for years to come. One of her eyes were electric blue that could pierce your soul and rip you apart from the inside, but the other eye was black with red iris and pupils. Even a full grown ghoul would run screaming like a little girl from the murderous look Thalia was giving her. "Do the best for us? Don't lie to me mother, I know you are a binge eater and you give us the scraps. I know about what you do with other men. I know how greedy and selfish you are when dad was around, I remember him from before Jason was born. You were so selfish mother, you scared him away, then you blame him for going away. I have been doing most of the work around the house, you are always out playing hookie and eating humans all the time, you are the thing people fear in our ward back home, but now I am sick of this. You took away the last thing I loved, now I am out, don't bother searching for me. You can't catch me".

To make sure she wasn't followed, Thalia's kagne turned to crystals that glittered with electricity crackling around them. They suddenly launched out and impaled the ghoul's hands and feet, pinning her to a wet redwood tree. She only got one last look at her daughter, a beautiful, terrifying young ghoul, walk off into the woods.

The lightning calmed and the storm that had come down like hail was now just a slight drizzle with a few cracks of thunder. This would most likely be on the news, great. Thalia was one powerful little ghoul, it was a shame that her only hope of her survival was on a worthless little camp filled to the brim with people who could most likely kill her if they found out what she was and knew what she was.

The mother forced herself forward not caring about the fact that the yellow spikes were sending powerful volts through her body and she was only damaging them more. No problem, they would heal quick and then she wouldn't have to limit her eating or try to keep undercover. No one knew her, these Americans were easy meat with their ghouless culture. That wrong assumption ended her life for good.
