This will probably be the last chapter in this story. But don't freak out, I'm continuing the plot, just not in this story idea. That is due to my belief that if you are doing a demigods at school fanfic, you shouldn't involve Camp Half-Blood, because they are supposed to be at a school not demigod camp. Duh.
Thalia P.O.V. (That's right, I'm doing two of the same P.O.V.s in a row. Got a problem with it? If so dial 1, and go sulk in a corner.)
As I stumbled behind Annabeth through a maze of book-filled shelves, I milled over why in the world she looked so scared. I mean, this girl had faced down titans, monsters and giants. It takes quite a bit to frighten her, so Spyrite might not be the cause for this.
As I puzzled over Annabeth's fearful expression, we rounded a corner in the labyrinth of knowledge (pun intended) and I beheld Piper sitting at a table skimming through books. As we came closer, she glanced up and gestured that we should sit down.
I seated my self in a chair cloaked in shadows, doing so for two reasons. First was that the embrace of the darkness reminded me of Nico, and I felt more peaceful in them. The second was that they couldn't see me as well, so they wouldn't be able to see me listening to my iPod touch (made monster-proof by Hephaestus).
I plugged in my onyx ear-buds, closed my eyes, and began to listen to 'This is War' by 30 Seconds to Mars. I zoned out thinking about the past war, and how much the song had in common with it.
"THALIA!" A voice screamed in my ear as my ear-buds were ripped off. I opened my eyes to see an extremely ticked off Annabeth and Piper standing in front of me. I rolled my eyes at their tomato faces, before sarcastically asking, "What?"
That was when Annabeth exploded.
"WHAT! YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO YOUR STUPID MUSIC WHILE PIPER AND I ARE RESEACHING A NEW BREED OF MONSTERS!" Annabeth calmed herself down, obviously with some effort, before continuing on.
"Look Thalia, you need to listen to what we are saying very carefully. Your emo friend Spyrite is a new type of monster." Annabeth started, accentuating each and every syllable, try to keep me calm. Unfortunately for her, I'm not that calm and controlled.
"LISTEN HERE ANNABETH, SPYRITE ISN'T A MONSTER, SHE IS A YV! AND SHE CERTAINLY ISN'T EMO!" I yelled at Annabeth, only to hear somewhere in the distance, the librarian's faint, "Shhhhh!"
I looked down at my shoes, realizing I had let out some of the information Spyrite had given me. As I looked up I realized Piper was staring at me along with Annabeth, both with accusing looks on their faces.
"Thalia… what's a Yv?" Piper asked me in an angry tone, while I cowered down in my seat. I couldn't explain this to them! It was Spyrite's secret, and more importantly, I actually didn't know what a Yv was. Just that it was what Spyrite called herself.
I opened my mouth to babble out some stupid excuse they might buy, when the onyx dressed Yv herself stepped into the light from the shadows. What caught my attention though, was the person next to Spyrite. Nico di Angelo in all his dark glory.
Immediately Annabeth's dagger was out along with Katoptris, both pointed at Spyrite. I glared at them and Piper looked at me and then Nico, taking in our apparent ease towards Spyrite, before she lowered Katoptris and spoke.
"Annabeth, I guess we should at least listen to what Thalia and Nico have to say before taking action. After all, Spyrite doesn't act that much like a monster." Annabeth seemed to consider Piper's suggestion before hesitantly sheathing her dagger.
Spyrite beamed at the gesture before becoming serious again. She began digging through a raven-colored satchel at her side which I only just realized was there. After a moment she produced from the bag a… book. Just when I thought my day couldn't get more boring.
She placed the book down on the table and pushed it to Annabeth, who immediately grabbed it and started reading. Typical.
While Annabeth was drowning herself in the book, Spyrite put her hands on her neck and unfastened a chain hanging there. She grabbed one of the many pendants on the ring, and placed it flat on the table next to Piper.
Taking the book from an unwilling Annabeth, she began her explanation. Considering I had already heard it once, I plugged in my ear-buds and waited for her to finish. It was a while later when the flash came.
I looked up at the scene before me, and my mouth dropped open, my still playing iPod falling from my limp hands. The small charm of pendant, which I now noticed was in the shape of a sliver of the moon, was glowing. And I don't mean a cheap, greenish colored glow-in-the-dark glow. I mean a pure white light that shined like a star, emitting from the pendant in pulsating waves.
I looked to the side to see Annabeth, Piper and even Nico were sitting there as slack-jawed as me. Spyrite waved her hand over the pendant while we sat in awe, and the glowing thing started to ****ing float!
It stayed about a foot above the table, spinning slowly around, when its rotation sped up. It whirled and whirled, and then sent out a huge wave of its energy, making me momentarily close my eyes. When I opened them again, I saw a giant floating mirror.
Sorry it took so long for me to write this, I just had a bit of writers block during the pendant parts. And I guess that this isn't the last chapter. Yay. I would also like to personally thank my reviewers, who give me reviews even though they don't have to, and- forget about it. I sound like some stupid cheesy movie character. Blagh.
