Thanks for all of your support! Sorry this took so long I've been busy. Before I go on with the story I just wanted to say GO YANKS! For that awesome game that I was at On Sunday the 30th! Im gonna try to make this the longest chapter.

Just too clear things up Percy and Annabeth are 17 and Nico and Thalia are 16

Disclaimer: im going to steal Percy Jackson from rick rordan but until that happens I don't own PJ :p

Nico's POV

Wow, was all I could say about the new girl she was hot! Then a nagging thought popped into my head, but what about Thalia?

"What about Thalia, I like her that's what" I said making sure no one heard. Chiron pulled me out of my thoughts, bless that centaur!{Hahaha I've always wanted to say that}

"Tonight we will host capture the flag to honor our fellow hunters."

"I never knew the hunters were here?" I mumbled looking around. Wow! Im stupid that's why Thalia's here! I thought slapping my forehead.

"Yeah I know it sucks that were gonna beat you"

"Very funny Thalia but that's not why I hit myself." I said zoning off again

"You hit yourself! That's hilarious! I was talking about you mumbling to yourself" Thalia said almost in hysterics.

"Sure, sure go ahead and laugh that your friend is a complete idiot" I said holding my hands up surrendering. That just made her laugh even more.

"So what were you mumbling about?" Thalia asked

"Uhhhh, ummmmm" should I tell her that I like her? No she's a hunter, she would never like me.

"Aw does someone have a crush on the new girl?" she said teasingly. But in her eyes I saw a spark of something else. Was it sadness?

Before I could think or say something about it more Thalia said "oh look she's coming over here, I have to go anyway, see you later!" she said in a rush not even taking a breath. Then she turned on one heal and took off. I wanted to run after her and scream "no don't go I like you not her!"

But before I could even blink Raya was in front of me holding her hand out and saying "hi im Raya and I was kind of wondering if you would go out with me?"

Thalia's POV

When I saw Raya coming towards us I ran. Nico likes her and I think that she likes Nico. Im happy for him, but then why am I so sad. Oh yeah I like him!

I only felt worse when I heard Raya say "hi im Raya and I was kind of wondering if you would go out with me?" as I ran out of hearing range. I ran as fast as I could to the forest being careful to avoid the people that got in my way. I ran all of the way to Zeus's fist and climbed up it. I sat up there just thinking. Im a hunter im not suppose to like anyone! But yet I like Nico!

"What am I gonna do?" I moaned into my hands

"Well you know you could always try talking to him" I heard a voice come from behind me. I turned around and saw Lady Aphrodite standing there.
"Lady Aphrodite, what are you doing here?" I said bowing as best as I could on a rock.

"Please thalia call me Aphrodite, Lady Aphrodite sounds too formal, and im here because I've heard you are struggling with love? She said calmly

"Yes, I think I like Nico but

1 im a hunter and

2 he likes Raya" I said the last part like it was a sickness

"For the hunter problem I will talk to Artemis, and for the Raya part I can assure you that he does not like Raya, go talk to him child"

"Thank you Lad- Aphrodite" I said running towards Nico's cabin

"No problem and be careful your decisions will be a big part of the next prophecy" I heard quietly as I ran out of the woods.

Nico POV

"Hi im Raya and I was kind of wondering if you would go out with me."

"Umm thanks for the offer but I need to fix something with someone" I said quickly as I ran away.

When I turned back I saw her face drop. "there's nothing wrong with you it's just I really like this girl but were not suppose to be together and I thi-" she cut me off

"I get it, go after her" she said smiling friendly

"Thanks" I said and took off to find Thalia. I looked all over and she wasn't anywhere to be found! How am I supposed to talk to her if I can't find her!

After 1 and a half hours I finally gave up and listened to my iPod in my cabin. I decided to close my eyes for just a bit. I wasn't sure how much time had passed when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said groggy. I heard the door creak open and in stepped Thalia.

"Hey what's up?" she said not meeting my eyes. She was shuffling back and forth.

"What's the matter? It looks like you need to get something off of your chest?" I said concerned. Wow a son of Hades concerned! Thalia must be getting to me.

"Yeah kind of…" she said hesitantly. I looked her electric blue eyes to see what was wrong. As soon as I went down that path. I got lost in her beautiful eyes I felt as if I was in another world floating on a nice puffy clo-. Just then I got hit with something and it hurt!

"Ow! What was that for?"

Thalia'a POV

"Nico! Nico! NICO!" I screamed trying to wake him up from his trance. Finally I got annoyed and zapped him with lightning

"Ow! What was that for?" he yelled making me laugh

"It's not funny it hurt!" he said rubbing his butt where I hit him. After a while he started laughing with me. We ended up on the floor laughing hysterically. We caught each other's eyes and then I felt myself leaning in. this was wrong, wasn't it? I'm a hunter! But all I could think about was Nico, how much I liked him.

His soft lips touched mine and all of my thoughts were lost. He pulled away and I jumped up and ran. This was wrong im a hunter I've sworn off men forever! How could this be happening to me? I didn't know where I was going, I just ran. I found my way to Zeus's fist, my spot,

I didn't know how long I was sitting there but when the horn sounded I knew it was time to get up. {a\n im not sure how the capture the flag part will turn out I've never written one before so tell me how I did in a review!} I walked over to where everyone was grabbing their weapons and armor and grabbed some while explaining to Cathy (my best friend that's a hunter) how to do a new move I learned. Nico caught my eye and I looked away quick. You see im trying to avoid him at all costs after the kiss. We got our positions and started playing when we heard the horn. I was defense so I stayed back with some of the other hunters waiting for someone to come and try to take the flag. All of a sudden I heard screaming and 2 figures popped out of the woods.

When they came closer I realized that one of them was exactly the person I didn't wanna see, Nico

Haha YES 1,300 words! Longest one yet! Its 1:15 in the morning so im gonna go to bed now. Press that little button in the middle right there
