Omg thanks for the reviews guys! I dunno who will end up with Thalia, Apollo or Luke. I'm more Apollo I dunno why I just like them better. But the story is not over yet we still have many more chapters to go! I might throw in Nico sometimes just for some fun but I don't really see the romantic connection between him and Thalia. After all they are cousins. Oh, well on to the story! Chapter Nine
(PRESENT DAY/SAME DAY AS WHEN CHAPTER ONE BEGAN AT!)
Has it really been a week since that had all happen?
It seemed like a blur. The camping trip. Apollo. The party. Hunters. Luke. Apollo, again. Party with Luke. Calliope.
Now I'm back here at New York all alone. It's cold and I have nobody. Absolutely nobody. I started to wander around the streets as people pushed past me.
What had my life come to?
I shouldn't have ever kissed Apollo, then I wouldn't be out of the hunt. This is just great. My life is shit. And Luke...
Luke is probably back in the Underworld being punished by Hades, all because of me.
Wait...NO!
It wasn't my fault that Luke got caught kissing a human! It was all his fault! I shouldn't feel sorry, lost, jealous, and-whoa...wait a second...jealous!
Me? No. I don't feel that way about Luke at all. I don't love him. He does not love me. He love's Annabeth. Annabeth loves Percy though. When Luke died he asked Annabeth if she ever loved him. Not you Thalia.
Then yet I wasn't even there when Luke died. I was crushed by 500 pounds of stupid fucking Hera.
I sighed and blew out a chilly breath as I continued to walk on.
My life sucks and I feel lost. Shit, every single time.
Nobody cares enough either.
I looked up above me and saw gigantic windows, sky scrapers, clouds, geez any moment now and I thought that Spiderman would just swoop in and end my miserable life thinking that I was a fucking villain.
Hm...if only...
But of course Thalia you find yourself at Camp Half Blood. In front of the Hades cabin.
I knocked on the door.
One minuet...
Two minuets...
Three minuets...
And then finally Nico decides to open the door raveling a beautiful Aphrodite camper putting her cloths on.
"What! Can't you see I'm kinda busy!" Nico whisper-yelled.
"Yes Nico. Yes I can," I said as I stepped inside his cabin and smiled at the Aphrodite camper.
"What!" she snapped at me.
"Scram sweetie," I said evenly.
The Aphrodite camper, who I guessed was Clarissa Parshnap, rolled her eyes and left with attitude.
Nico shut the door and glared at me.
"Wow. Nice going Thalia. I fucking hate you!"
I just smirked at him, being all smug while looking him straight in the eye.
"Love you too Nico."
Nico sat next to me and crossed his arms.
"What do you want. You like like shit Thals."
"Wow. That was...nice of you Nico..."
"Whatever. So what do you want?" Nico pressed.
I sighed. "Luke. I was with him. Then he kissed a mortal girl and then went poof."
"Oh yeah. My dad told me."
My eyes widened as I grasped his shoulders.
"WHAT!"
"Um," Nico removed my hands, "Yeah. He kinda did Thals. And the whole deal that they made. Damn he is going to be punished big time by making human contact."
"Nico tell me that your kidding right! What was their whole deal thing about anyways!"
"Luke would be granted permission of coming to visit Camp once every four months, and Hades get's Hermes as his slave for that few days Luke is-or would be here."
"So that's why Calliope took Hermes's job when he was gone!" I suddenly realized.
"Yeah. Hermes agreed to it seeing that he treated his son wrong too. So now Hermes is back up in Olympus and Luke is probably bound to be in the Underworld now."
"Wait-but I thought he wasn't suppose to be in the Underworld when he died."
"Well...he is now. He broke his promise. Now he will be punished."
"Uh, thanks Nico. Gotta go," I said as I quickly got off his bed.
"Wait!" Nico grabbed my arm.
"Yeah?"
"You aren't going to do anything dangerous right?"
I smiled. "I'll try."
Nico smirked. "That's my Thalia alright. Bye."
"Bye."
I had reached the Empire State Building two hours later. I got to the 600th floor fast and ended up in Olympus.
And shit there was a party at the moment.
Damn it. Nico didn't tell me that they were throwing a party/
All over the streets of Olympus there were demi-gods heading to the throne room, strays, nymphs, and I even saw some hunters that I had knew.
Fuck this.
I had to talk to Hermes and get Luke out of the Underworld and to Elysium.
And I had to do this fast.
I looked around and saw a temple filled with beautiful woman, and demi-gods.
The temple of Aphrodite.
I walked in there and instantly smelt perfume, and could smell other beauty product. Don't ask why, or how for that matter.
"Ahh! Thalia Grace! Daughter of Zeus correct! Amazing!" Aphrodite squealed.
I could tell that it was her because she looked beautiful, fabulous. Whatever you wanted to call her.
She had long brown hair that was twisted in princess curled and it looked like there was a big bump it on the top of her head.
Her red silky gown and make up made her look more prettier than she already was-if that was even possible.
"Aphrodite," I bowed.
"Rise child. What is it that you need."
"I need to barrow a dress," I gulped.
"Oh! Wonderful! You can't come to the ball looking like that!"
"Um...yeah. Probably the reason for why I'm asking for a dress. Can I just take it an leave because I'm running a bit late and-"
"Oh, no child! My darling we need to groom you! Pamper you and make you look almost as beautiful as me of course!" Aphrodite smiled those stunning white teeth.
"No! There's no need. Trust me."
But Aphrodite insisted and at just a snap of her fingers there were people washing my hair, putting on random dresses on me, and trying on random shoes as well.
"Hey! Don't touch me there!" I yelled at one of them.
"Sorry hun. Aphrodite's orders," one lady said who had a country accent.
When I was done my hair was all wavy and clean, and a strapless mid-night blue dress that stopped right above my knees was one me instead of my shirt and comfortable jeans.
"You look nice Thalia," Aphrodite smiled.
"Um...thanks I guess. I'm gonna just go now."
"Alright. Be safe my child. Tata!"
I walked away from the Aphrodite temple, relived that she didn't do any else to me.
As I walked into the throne room I saw all of my demi-god friends and hunters, as well gods, walking around, socializing, eating, or even dancing.
It was easy to find Hermes since he was sitting on his throne watching the other demi-gods.
But I didn't want to cause much commotion since everybody knew about me and Apollo thanks to one of my hunter friends. Well she actually wasn't my friend at all!
So I a tray of food and walked around pretending to be a server.
This was going to be interesting.
