Chapter 7: First Kiss
Thalia's POV
Oh crap. About twenty cyclopses, and we're not even prepared. At least we made a backup plan for this kind of situation.
"Plan Psi?" I suggested.
"Plan Psi." Luke agreed.
"What's plan psi?" Annabeth was confused.
"The resort before our last resort. Because psi comes before omega in the greek alphabet, and omega's the last letter." I explained.
"But what is it?" Annabeth pressed.
"Run!" Luke yelled.
That's Plan Psi. And that's exactly what we did. We ran and the cyclopses bellowed after us. I tripped on a can and a cyclops scratched my back deeply.
"Gah!" I screamed.
I suddenly saw Luke and Annabeth attack all of the cyclopses and kill them. They both had pretty impressive fighting skills. Then I passed out.
Luke's POV
After we killed all of the cyclopses, I noticed that Thalia was unconscious. I ran over to her in a panic and tried to wake her up.
"Please, please wake up." I tried lightly slapping her face.
Then I did something I've always wanted to do. I slapped her really hard and screamed, "Wake up!"
She still didn't wake up. Annabeth suddenly pooped up next to me. She poured a bucket of icy water over Thalia.
"Gah!" Thalia sputtered awake.
But she wasn't all there.
"Luke..." She groaned.
"It was her." I was innocent.
"Luke..." She repeated.
"She's probably in shock, lets get her to the hospital." Annabeth suggested.
"How do you know?" I questioned.
"I watch a lot of TV, and I visit the doctor a lot." Annabeth simply stated.
Fair point. So we dragged her to the van and then drove her to the hospital. Then we dragged her inside and brought her to Albert.
"Can you fix her? Please?" I begged literally on my knees.
"Of course I can, what else is a son of Zeus and a doctor good for?" Albert was sarcastic.
He put her into a hospital room and fixed her up. He said she'd probably be out until tomorrow though. I grabbed a chair and sat next to her bed protectively. I held her hand and she muttered something nearly unintelligable.
"Love you..." She muttered.
I grinned. Annabeth was in the corner giggling. After a while, Annabeth and I fell asleep. When I woke up, Annabeth had moved her chair next to mine and was asleep. Thalia was still out cold. So I got up and left the hospital. I walked to a flower shop and bought about a dozen roses in a bunch, got a card, and went back to the hospital. When I got back, Annabeth and Thalia were awake and looked nervous. They were talking to Albert.
"Albert, I want to know where he is. Can you just check around the hospital?" Thalia asked.
"Fine." Albert agreed.
"I suck at being a guard." Annabeth hung her head.
"No you don't. And I just went to get some flowers." I announced my presence.
Thalia looked surprised and relieved, Annabeth looked excited, and Albert smiled. I walked over and gave Thalia the card and flowers. She smiled at the flowers and read the card. I had written, Get Well Soon Thunderhead on it. She looked like she was about to cry.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I called you Thunderhead." I started to worry.
Thalia silenced me by pulling me down and kissing me. It wasn't the usual kiss on the cheek, it was a full-blown kiss on the lips. When we came up for air, she said, "Thanks. No one's ever gotten me a card for anything other than you buying one for my birthday."
I grinned. Annabeth and Albert were suppressing giggles, but Annabeth also seemed bothered by something. I gave Annabeth a kiss on the cheek and she grinned the way I grin when I'm about to steal something. Thalia was my first kiss, and as far as I know, I'm her first kiss too. I grinned like an idiot until another kid came into the room. He wasn't just any kid, he had a hint of facial hair and he reminded me of a satyr.
"Daughter of Zeus, son of Hermes, and daughter of Athena? Hey Albert! Haven't seen you in a while!" The kid asked.
"Who are you?" Annabeth voiced everyone but Albert's question.
"Grover, demigod protector." He said.
"Your a satyr?" Thalia asked.
"Yep, and I've been assigned to bring you to Camp Half-Blood by Chiron." Grover confirmed.
"Nice to see you too little buddy." Albert smiled.
"You're taking us to Camp?" I questioned.
"Yeah. And what happened to her?" Grover looked at Thalia.
"Twenty cyclopses." Annabeth answered.
"Oh, okay. Whenever you guys are ready, lets go." Grover suggested.
