I do not own PJO. Any way I need reviews Cuz I really won't keep writing if I don't get any. So last chapter was so unbelievingly short that that was kinda the Prologue. I'll try to make this one longer. Thanks so much for the reviews I've gotton already I would love it if I got more.
Thailia's Flashback
Annabeth and Percy had finally come down from Mt. Olympus and everyone was cheering for them. Nico and I were on a Park bench. We had been neglected for our Contributions so far. We worked so hard and the gods didn't offer us any gifts.
Nico had been sulking in the shadows but Thailia had run into him while she was going to buy a cheeseburger. They had talked and talked and talked. After a while they were close enough to kiss and Nico leaned in and soon they were making out. But then Thailia pushed him away when she remembered that she was a Hunter. He looked at her and before he could say anything Thailia shoved her hunters card on his chest and ran to lead her Hunters to meet Artemis.
~End of Flashback~
Thailia's POV
We stood there in an awkward silence. What was going through his mind? I don't know. Annabeth whispered in a not so whisper-ish whisper," Well go on! Talk to him!" before I could respond she and Percy started to run towards the sound. She looked back at me and gave me an evil mastermind smile.
I looked back a Nico. His hair was shorter. Well it was above his ears. It wasn't hanging or anything but ….. Wow. His eyes were dark and mysterious. He didn't have any more zits. His face was perfect. Not that I care. I don't. I'm a hunter. I walked up to talk to him. Oh my gods, he got taller. He was taller than me now.
"What's up Thailia? Here to ditch me again?"
I didn't know how to respond to that. Nico obviously thought I didn't care enough to respond. He sighed.
"Well if you don't care I'm leaving"
"No wait! Don't go!" I cried out. I couldn't leave him again. Not again. I rushed up to Nico and hugged him! I took him by surprise and we both fell down onto the stone. We both started laughing. I felt so relieved. We were friends. Finally.
But that's when it all went bad. The Aphrodite cabin was here. Oh joy. They giggled. Why? Maybe because I was on top of Nico hugging him. I blushed and got up. I lent him a hand to get up too.
"Friends?"
"Friends."
The Aphrodite cabin was still giggling. They rushed over to Nico and dragged him to their cabin. He struggled to get free while I struggled to get air. When he got up he ran over and shadow traveled somewhere. I finally stopped laughing.
The Aphrodite cabin was insane. They looked over at me and smirked. One came over to me and handed me a box. She said, "Here it's almost Nico birthday. You should give this to him."
Nico's Birthday? Oh that's right! I forgot because it was almost my birthday! I ran to my cabin to wrap it. I called back, "Thank You!"
Nico's POV
The Aphrodite cabin was dragging me away while Thailia was practically rolling on the ground laughing. I struggled free and ran into the nearest shadow I could find. I ended up run into my bed post in my cabin. My knee exploded with pain. I lay down on my bed and thought over what just happened. Thailia came back, she ended up on top of me, I got dragged away by Aphrodite campers and I was back in my cabin. Well. That was short.
In the end we ended up just friend. Not exactly what I wanted but it's a start. It's fine if we're just friends. We couldn't be more.
After an hour of hiding out in my cabin I heard the conch horn blow in the distance signaling it was time for dinner. I stepped out of my cabin and was immediately ambushed by an Aphrodite camper. She was small maybe 8 or 9. She gave me a small silver box wrapped with a gray ribbon. She said," It's almost Thailia's birthday. Give this to her." I'll admit at that point I should have been suspicious, but I was so shocked that I had forgotten Thailia's birthday that I didn't notice. I said my thanks and put Thailia's present on my shelf. I went down to the forest to think. But as soon as I entered the forest I ran into a girl round my age sitting on a tree root.
"Oh sorry!" I said.
"It's ok. But next time I won't forgive you so easily." She teased.
She was about three inches shorter than me. Her Blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail. Her blue eyes stared back at me with a sparkle. I stared into them for a second.
"Hi I'm Kayla Pouge daughter of Apollo" She said
"I'm Nico di Angelo son of Hades." I said in a trance.
We shook hands and talked for a little while. We talked until dinner came. Only then did I realize that I had to give Thailia her present soon. I ran to my cabin. When I entered the cabin I was shocked to see Thailia sitting there. She got up said," I've been waiting for you forever!" she came over and hugged me. She smelled sweet, like perfume. Which was weird because she never wore perfume.
She handed my present and I handed her hers. Mine was a black watch. It fit me perfectly. I whatched intently as she opened her's since I had no idea what it was. She got a Black watch but with a lightning bolt in the center. We laughed. She didn't put hers on so I wasn't sure how she felt about it. But she put it on after a little while. We walked down to the pavilion. She is so beautiful. Then her eyes went wide. "What's the matter?" I said concerned. Please tell me it isn't me. "Nothing,Nothing." She said quickly.
Then she said," Do you hear something?" I stared at her extrememly worried. "No." I hope she's ok. Something's weird. Her nose is kinda weird. Why do you taste with your nose? Whats the point of your tongue. She laughed. "What?" I said. She just walked on with out a word. Something was off. Thailia is not in your right mind.
