Hey guys! First of all I Would like to thank the 4 people who left reviews to the first chapter, your input is appreciated. Also thanks to those who followed the story, it means a lot to me.

I'm trying not to rush these first few chapters because I want to get to the Perlia as fast as possible, so I'll probably not be putting as much detail into the first few chapters as you might like.

A couple of you thought that nothing really happened yet, but things will start happening in the next vchapter or the one after that, if not sooner. Thanks for reading guys and enjoy! :)


Thalia POV:

As I walked through the camp, I said hi to all the campers. A lot of them came over to hug me and say how much they missed me, to which I happily returned. It was really fun seeing everyone again, but I wanted to check on some people in particular. Namely Percy and Annabeth. I wonder where-

"Woah, Thalia!" I heard someone say.

I turned to see someone running after me. I looked closer and saw that it was Nico Di Angelo. I smiled and waved at him. Wait- he was sprinting after me...and he wasn't slowing down either. He kept running and tackled me into a hug. I got up giggling and nudging him as he started talking.

"Oh my god Thals, what are you doing here? Are the hunters visiting? Is Artemis here? Can I still beat you in an arm wrestle? He flooded and I just laughed and grabbed his arm.

"Relax Nico. Well actually, I quit the hunters. I just got back here."

"What? But you- you loved it in there!" Nico said, his mouth agape.

"Yeah but- I think I love it more here. With you guys." I grinned.

"Aww Thals I always knew you loved me!" he said with sarcasm and a grin as he grabbed my hand. I just flashed him an innocent and sarcastic smile and pulled away.

"Not exactly what I meant, Nico. Hey, we'll talk later but I really want to find Percy and Annabeth. Can you tell me where they are?" I asked Nico.

"Oh..." He started, his smile disappearing. "Listen Thals, before I tell you that, we should probably talk about them. They...kinda split up." His voice trailed off and he looked sad.

My eyes widened, I was shocked. Those two were the definition of a perfect couple. Percy loved Annabeth to death, and they had been through so much together, how could they possibly break up?

"What? What? I- why? I stammered with a look of sheer horror on my face.

"Annabeth...Dumped percy for someone else. For...for Travis. Stoll." Nico said with a grim face."

"Oh my gods is Percy okay?"

"No, Thalia, he hasn't come out of his cabin for a week, right after what happened. I was with him the last time he was outside but I havent seen him since. Nobody has. Everyone at camp is worried, Chiron is trying to assure everyone that he's fine. Except Annabeth. She's spending all her time with Travis, trying to make herself think that this isn't her fault." I noticed Nico let go of a single tear.

"Oh my gods Percy! He must be doing awful. I feel terrible, I have to see him. I will kick Annabeth's butt later for what she did, but priority is Percy. Oh he must feel so alone!" I said with tears streaming steadily.

"Oh gods Nico, I have to see him."

And I sprinted toward Cabin three to see my best friend. Little did I know he needed me now. More than ever.


Looks like Thalia has something to deal with. Just to let you all know, the next chapter will take place in the Past. I already have the draft of that done, so I need to just edit that which won't take long, and I will try to have chapter 3 up later today also.

For those of you who like longer updates, the chapters will be getting progressively longer and more detailed as the story goes further.
