Is it weird that I read like 75% of Battle of the Labyrinth in like 5 hours? I finished the book today…. Bianca is a ghost person thing and I cried when she was first summoned. BUT BIANCA'S AWESOMENESS WILL LIVE ON!
I don't own the epic PJ.
I felt someone grab my shoulders and start shaking me, and I didn't wake up until I hit my head on the tree behind me. My vision was fuzzy but I could see a crazy blue light and knew it was Thalia. "We spent hours looking for you! And where'd you get that?" She pointed at the bow and must have forgotten that I didn't feel like talking. I completely ignored Thalia and walked towards the cabins. Everything was still blurry so I ran into a couple trees and heard snickers every time. I could hear Thalia crunching leaves behind me, turned around and silently asked for help. "What do you need help with?" I could barely see my hands but I managed to gesture to my eyes. She seemed to know exactly where I wanted to go, and led me to the Artemis cabin. As soon as I stepped through the door I could see perfectly fine. Something about the cabin was… more than magical. I hopped onto the top bunk and hung upside down. Thalia gave me the "What the heck are you doing?" face, but I was already in the dream world.
I wasn't actually sleeping, I was daydreaming… sort of. The thoughts of Artemis kept going through my head. I remembered being captured with Artemis at my side, and her telling me that I should like fighting monsters. It was just too crazy to think about, so I escaped my imagination and locked eyes with Thalia. "Who's my godly parent?" She wouldn't answer me, but I could tell she knew the answer. Her stare turned blank and dull, and the crazed look in her eye that I had seen five minutes before was gone. "Alex… you're Artemis's daughter. It's weird but…" "I get it. I'm not supposed to be here, like you. But we are." Emotion finally flooded into Thalia's face. She looked a little mad at me for saying that, but honestly I hated what Thalia's answer was. My throat was on fire and I felt the blood rushing to my head. My stupid demigod blood (because saying half-blood blood would be weird). I watched the light return to Thalia's eyes and felt mine fading. The pain I was in started to get worse, maybe because I knew the truth. Thalia murmured "Your face is purple." and she left the cabin.
Apparently word got out who I was, and my pain got worse every time someone taunted me about it. Thalia was giving me the silent treatment for a few days, but she had to return to the Hunters, and I got lonely. The only two people who would actually talk to me were Percy and Annabeth. Annabeth offered to get me some ambrosia and nectar, but I felt like that would make my pain worse. I had actually gotten used to it by then, but I wanted to find out why I was in pain. I asked Annabeth about it but she didn't know anything. What she did say was "Where'd you get the bow?" I shrugged. I couldn't get the bow to disappear, it was stuck with me. I started to feel sad, and I just gave Annabeth a blank stare. The way she looked back at me, it was like she shared my pain. I turned to Percy and he gave me the same look. My life got a lot weirder that week.
