Chapter 2
Thalia pov's
"Okay looks like we got a long way to go before we find their base." Annabeth said.
I put my bag over my shoulders and we started off down the hill. We got in the van with Argus. We set off to start at the empire state building. When we got there it was darker than before. We got out of the van and started walking.
ĻĨŅĔ ƁƦĔĄĶ
We have been gone for about 2 weeks; we have fought monsters, stolen food and run from the cops, so about a normal week for a demi-god. We were all scratched up and tired. We were actually pretty clean because Conner and Travis stole some soap and we took a shower at a groomer's for your pets. Yes we were that desperate. The card was now a dark grey. We've made it to Massachusetts. We are now currently at a place called Mary Lou's (which has the best mocha shake) resting. Conner is in the bathroom and Annabeth is taking a quick nap.
"Excuse me, can you follow me please and bring everything with you."
I jumped up a little, kicking Annabeth and waking her up. I looked up to see 18 year old boy standing at the edge of the table. He has raven black hair and sea green eyes. He is around 6 ft tall and muscular.
"Percy!" I said as I jumped up.
When I said that Annabeth woke up completely. She looked straight at Percy and smiled. Percy looked behind him like we were talking to someone else then looked at us confused.
"Who is Percy?" He asked.
I was about to smack him when he said something that changed my mind.
"My name is Theseus, I'm here because you summoned me."
I looked at him shocked.
"Like the one from Greek mythology?" Asked Annabeth.
"The one and only." He said with a small smile. "Now please foll…."
"Wait we didn't summon you." I said.
He pointed to the card poking out from the pocket of my bag and it was now pitch black.
"I'm here to bring you to the base. We should leave now before they recognize you." He said as he pointed to the TV which at the moment showed as running out of Stop and shop with a cart full of food, water and some clothes and Conner and Travis caring soap with mall police chasing us. We shook our heads yes and quickly followed him to the back of the shop. He pulled up part of the floor to show stairs leading down. I went down first then Annabeth, Travis, Conner (who finally came back from the bathroom) and then Theseus behind us all. I came to a stop at a big set of doors and Theseus came next to me. I looked into his eyes then quickly looked away; they looked so much like Percy's. I missed him so much and I hate to admit it I sort of had a crush on Percy.
"Please hand over the card." Theseus said.
I handed him the card and he placed it in the key slot and the door slowly slid open. I walked in behind him and followed him into an office with Icarus Written in Greek in the same black as the card. Even though I never got to talk to him he was sweat and cute too. Theseus opened the door and held it open for us. When we got in he pulled out my chair for me and Annabeth then started speaking into his watch, but he spoke to quietly for us to hear. When he was done he sat across from us then took out a pen and a piece of paper.
"Icarus can not make it at the moment so he asked me to take a message." He said
I looked up to see Theseus looking at me. I realized he was waiting for me to speak. I blushed then started.
"We need Icarus's help Gaea is waking up. Also some of the Titans seem to becoming more aware of everything and are joining Gaea and Percy is missing when we need him most."
Theseus was writing everything I told him and when I stopped speaking he stopped writing. He folded the paper and put it in a file under the desk. He got up and held the door for us again. I walked out last and before I got out he stopped me.
"I don't believe I got your name miss."
I looked up at him and blushed he was actually pretty cute.
"My name is Thalia Grace."
He took my hand and kissed it.
"Nice to meet you Miss Grace."
I blushed again. I couldn't help, but laugh at his cheesy move. I looked up into his eyes and they held kindness, happiness, but also lots of sadness I smiled again and smiled back.
"We shouldn't keep your friends waiting. It was a pleasure to meet you," He said as he bowed and followed me out.
I smiled as I walked out. Theseus was kind, I thought he would be rude and have a big ego like they say in the stories, but they must be wrong. He walked up front and as he walked by me he gave me a smile. He showed us the way to the ladder we came through and stopped.
"It was nice to meet you all. When you all get up the ladder take the door in the back you will end up behind the building and Icarus will meet you to give you an answer."
Annabeth was the first up the ladder then Conner then Travis. I was about to go up the ladder when I turned around to look at Theseus.
"Will we be able to come here again?" I asked.
"I hope so. It's been a while since I've seen a pretty face walk through the door." He said with a grin.
I blushed again then smiled.
'Thank you. I hope to be able to see you again Theseus. You know all those things they said about you in the stories are all wrong."
He smiled at my compliment.
"Those myths were actually right. I was a selfish jerk, but when I lost my family and my wife I decided that it was time to change. I finally found my chance when Icarus gave me an offer, but thank you anyway."
I smiled.
"Thalia what is taking so long just climb up the dang ladder?" I heard Conner yell.
I laughed then smiled at Theseus. I walked over to him and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Bye Theseus, until we meet again"
I smiled one last time at Theseus then climbed up the ladder, with one thought on my mind, what was Artemis going to do to me when she found out.
How did you like it. I wanted to make Thalia have a boyfriend to get her more involved in the story and add a new character. Please comment if you want Thalia to be with Theseus, Icarus or someone else. I also might need some OC's for another chapter for Icarus's army.
OC's will need the following
Name
Parent: God, Titan, I will only accept a few primordial demi-gods, no kids of chaos
Powers
Weapons
Facial features: eye color, hair color, any scars
Oh and I will have a poll up for who Thalia should go out with. Please check it out. That's all and don't forget to leave a review. Peace!
