Okay, I changed my mind. I was too bored not to post this one, and too eager. So even though I still only have a few replies, I decided to post. Hope you like it! Oh and I don't own the PJO series.

Chapter 3

Thalia's POV

I was in a bad mood.

I was having a great day until it happened. A great 24th birthday, even though I still looked 16. Until it happened. I was kicked out of the hunters. And the worst part, yes even worse than this happening on my birthday, was that I did nothing wrong.

Not a single thing.

No, I didn't disobey Artemis (she doesn't deserve the respect of calling her Lady Artemis), No I didn't break my vows and fall in love, and No, I didn't ask to be released from my oath. I was just KICKED OUT! On my 24th EFFING BIRTHDAY!

So you can understand my bad mood. I wasn't even told why I was no longer aloud in the hunters, just that it won't be permanent unless I wish for it to be. The conversation went something like this;

"Thalia, come here please." Lady Artemis said. I went, thinking maybe she wanted to wish me a happy birthday.

"Yes, my lady?"

"Thaila, please sit down." I did. "Your father has ordered me to put you on a temporary suspension from the hunters. Effective immediately. I completely agreed." My jaw dropped. She went on to say about how I must pack up all belongings and leave before noon, blah, blah, blah. I wasn't listening. Questions were going through my mind. How could my father and sister do this to me? What did I do to anger them so much they are kicking me out of my home, away from my family? And on my birthday?

Then the answer came; nothing. I. Did. Nothing. I didn't do anything, they don't care about me. It came to me that that was the way of the gods. They lie to and backstab their family. With these thoughts going through my mind I stood up, stopping Artemis in mid-sentence, and walked away. She stopped.

"Thalia, where are you going?" she asked.

Bitterly, I replied "I'm leaving. I have to be out by noon, don't I? I want to tell all of my sisters good bye before you and father are forced to physically kick me out of my one and only home."

She didn't reply. I spun around and started pacing.

"Where am I supposed to go anyway? I am not going to camp to stay by myself while everyone is afraid of me because of my father. I'd rather camp alone in the wilderness than do that!" Maybe I could stay with Percy and Sally? Maybe I could travel with Nico? Annabeth is at camp so I can't stay with her. It really is sad that those three and Clarisse are the only ones of my friends not afraid of me.

"You are to go and escort Perseus to Olympus and meet with Father." I spun around at her hesitant voice. I am being kicked out so that I can go and escort my cousin, who is even more powerful than me (even though I would never say that aloud), to my father who just took away my home as a birthday gift. I shook my head and closed my eyes to keep the tears in and walked out.

"I will go tell the girls that I can't make it to my own birthday celebration tonight, due to the fact that my sister and father are kicking me out of my home. Oh, and I will be sure to tell Percy about what an awesome birthday it was as I am "escorting" him to a place that take only 15 minutes for him to walk to. Goodbye, Artemis. Thanks for the present." I turned around one last time to see tears in her eyes and a hand pressed to her mouth before walking out. I think I heard a strangled "happy birthday" come from her before I was completely gone, though.

So that was how I found myself at the steps to Goode Highschool within the next couple hours. I was still holding on to that anger to keep my from bursting into tears. Maybe I can release some of it on Kelp Head. Or maybe he can just make me feel better, in that brotherly way he has. I have no idea, but I do know that I want to see him.

As I walked up the steps to the front doors, a few men leered at me and some even wolf-whistled. I understood. Half-bloods were extremely attractive due to the ichor running through our veins, the children of the Big Three even more than most. So even though I chopped off my hear and am still wearing my silver parka, I was still moderately attractive. Although I will never understand the reasons that men must be so disgusting.

When I walked in I headed straight for the Cafeteria. If there was one thing I knew about Kelp for Brains, it was that he loved food and that was the best bet when you are looking for him. That or where screaming is.

As I walked through the doors I saw Percy laying down with his head on the table. He just makes this too easy. I thought as I snuck up behind him. I charged up with extra voltage so that it will do more than just tingle because of that Curse of Achilles that he has. I thought about the look that will soon be on his face, and chuckled evilly as I got ready to zap him.

Ahhh Thalia is one of my favorite characters. Next chapter will be a mix of both Percy and Thalia POV.
