1…2…3...I was doing push-ups. What else do you expect me to do? Just sit around. Sometimes, Thalia, would come around, and I would continue with the push-ups, and she would just stare out the window, other times watching me. She usually comes every Thursday, but sometimes on a Friday.
I would never admit it, but I began to look forward to Thursdays. I once even zoomed time forward, for Thursday. Don't get me wrong, Leo and Zoe would visit, but I got bored. I pranked the gods twice now, but it was getting boring. I needed something to do. I'm only waiting for the gods' to get their guard down. Although I might join the gods. They were still better than those no good evils. I might take on the world, but it would be a lot of responsibility. I'd rather not with that. I hate responsibility. It was Thursday. I was doing push-ups. I was just bringing up my endurance. I got bored. It was…around 5:00. She would come around this time. Sure enough, the door opened.
She made a face. "How do you stand the smell in here, it smells like sweat-oh wait that's you" She laughed. "Ha Ha Ha" very funny. I hug her. "Ew, now I have the smell." My turn to laugh. "How are you doing Seaweed Brain?" "I'm fine." I go back to push-ups. She went to her spot next to the window. "Do you ever get tired of doing push-ups? Aren't they getting boring?" "Well, what should I do?" She thought. "Lifting 1000 pound weights." She laughed. "Yeah, that'll never happened." "Oh really?" I snapped my fingers, and a 1000 pound weight appeared. "You probably just made a 1 pound weight and wrote the number 1000 on it." "Really? Try picking it up." She narrowed her eyes, and tried to pick it up.
It didn't pick up. I picked it up easily with one hand. "Show off" She muttered. I chuckled. "Don't you ever get bored of this place?" She asked. "Well, duh. I get bored all the time." "Well, how do you stand it?" "I don't. I usually go murder some dummy when I get bored." She got a thinking face. "Hey, maybe I can take you out on the beach. For like an hour because it would be hard to break you out."
"You don't need to. I can break out on my own." "Out of the chains yeah, but there are demigods that will stand guard right out that door" "No problem." I snapped my fingers. "Nothing happened." "Yeah it did, I paused time." "You did! No Way!" "Yep, now come on" I held out my hand. She hesitated. I realized why. I was sweaty and shirtless. I snap my fingers, and all the sweat was gone, and I put on a white shirt.
She took my hand. I flash her with me to the beach. The waves were paused, because time was paused. I unpaused the waves only. I plopped down on the sand. The waves lapped lightly at my feet. Thalia sat down next to me. "Can I ask you a question? It's kind of personal." "Shoot." I said. "Are you going to side with the gods?" "To be honest, I don't know yet. I could side with the evils, but they would be terrible rulers, I could side with the gods, but I'm still mad at them.
I could just take over and beat both sides, but that's too much responsibility." "Well, this may biased, but I think you should side with the gods." I look into her bright blue eyes. "And why is that?" "Well, you could appoint somebody else as king of gods, if you wanted, and so you wouldn't have responsibilities and Zeus won't rule, and then…well…my dad will be safe. I want to also be safe, just saying." "Why would you not be safe?"
"Well, I'm Zeus's daughter, and thus, the enemy." "Well, while that's truth, let me ask a question. If it were between Zeus, and me, who would you choose?" Thalia sat in silence. After a while she said, "I don't know" I got mad at this. Was I feeling jealous? No I wasn't. I was feeling mad. My friend would choose her dad, who decided in front of her whether he wanted to kill her, over me, her friend.
"You would choose HIM over ME" Omg I did sound jealous. I didn't care. My mood was totally killed. I flashed back to the room, without her. I conjured up a dummy. I used my favorite attacks on that dummy. I hacked, chopped and sliced, but didn't kill it, if a dummy could die. I gave it cuts. At the end, I kicked the dummy's head towards the door, and Thalia chose to open the door at that exact moment. It smashed on her face. She fell down.
I would've ran to her and helped her, but I was too freaking mad. She groaned and got up slowly. I continued to hack at that dummy. "I'm fine thanks" She said sarcastically. I didn't reply. She softened. She walked up to me. I didn't stop hacking at that dummy. "Percy, I'm sorry. I would have to side with my dad, he made me swear to. On the Styx." I stopped hacking at the dummy. "I can remove it." She stared up at me (because I was like 4 inches taller hahaha). "You can?" I nodded. I had been given a blessing by the Styx with the ability to remove blessings from the Styx, and be immune to them. I didn't tell her though.
I snapped my fingers. (A/N: He must really like snapping his fingers. I think it's because I'm jealous, I can't snap) "Your blessing is removed" She smiled happily. "Now, would you pick me or your dad?" She frowned. "I really hope it doesn't come to this-" "Are you saying you would pick your dad?" I ask getting really mad. "What! No, I mean I will pick you, but I really don't want to because I know Jason will probably side with his dad and I don't want to fight him." I thought about it. "I'll try not to make you pick, but remember, YOU. PICKED. ME." I said. She stared at me. "Somebody's jealous today." "I'm not jealous, but I am enraged." "More like jealous" "Thalia…" I said in a warning tone. She was getting to my nerves.
She went and sat back down, and I continued to murder the dummy. I eventually continued murdering that dummy blind-folded. Thalia watched. "What do you think the dummy is when you murder it?" "What do you mean?" "Well, do you pretend it's something, like a monsters or something" I murmured something.
"What was that?" I murmured again.
Thalia pov
"What was that?" I ask. I couldn't hear exactly what he said. I guess he's embarrassed of it. He murmerd again. "Look Percy, you can trust me. I wouldn't be here if you didn't" I wasn't lying. If he didn't trust me, he would've killed me. I know he can break out of the chains.
"No, I can't. You'll hate me." "You think of me?" I ask hurt. He wants to murder me? "What? No." "Then just tell me." He looked down. "I can't" "Either you tell me, or I'll leave." "If you leave, I won't turn time back on." "So you want me to stay?" "Fine, just leave." "But you want me to stay." "I said LEAVE" He yelled at me. I got up and slowly walked. There were tears in my eyes. "Wait. Thalia." I didn't bother to look back. He paused time on me. I know because, he made it so I knew what was going on, but couldn't move. He walked up in front of me. "I'm sorry, ok? I just have a lot on my mind" I'd leave, but couldn't move. "Here, if you forgive me, I'll tell you what I think of ok?" I thought about it, and then nodded, or wanted to. I was still frozen.
Percy just kept staring at me. He raised an eyebrow. "So?" I couldn't move. He was such a kelp head. Then realization dawned on him. He snapped his fingers, and I could move. I moved my bones. "So?" "Yeah, if you'll tell me what you think of." "Yeah, but could you please not get mad?" "No promises."
Percy pov
I sighed sadly. I didn't want to tell her. "Fine. When I get really mad, I think that Zeus is the dummy" I say sadly and quietly. But she heard me. She sat in silence. I snapped my fingers "I turned time back on." She said nothing. She got up silently and left.
She didn't come back the next week.

Hey guys! How's yall day going? I'm tired, and I'm sorry for the short chapter, but by now you should know that most of my chapters will be short. I need lots of time for big chapters. I took an hour on this thing. Please be respectful, some private messages are very hurtful. Nice reviews motivate me for chapters. I'm not kidding. Also, if you want to, check out my other stories. I have:
Persassy is so sassy: A story of more fun than sass, but whatever.
The new age: Percy's sick of the gods, time for a new power. It's similar to this story, but also different.
The strongest god: Perseus is the oldest god, and the most powerful, when he gets bored, he comes to Earth, as a demigod.
And check out my brother's stories too: (He's Hades747)
The gods: Basically godly drama on Olympus
Vampires? They're not real? : Annabeth isn't exactly the best fan of Twilight, and not really a believer of vampires, but the new kids seems mysterious.
Also, there's this really cool funny story called Impractical Jokers: Demigod edition By DarkPaladin000, I swear I laughed so hard reading it. It's an amazing story.
Have a nice day/night, depends on where you are.
