Chapter Eleven

LOS ANGELES

"Let's go," Apollo said as we walked through the crowded air port.

He grabbed my hand as the two of us made our way, passing through all of the people.

Some girls have flirted with Apollo in the time we were here, and trust me to be honest I was a bit jealous. Well not a bit, more like a lot.

I wasn't sure how to feel any more. I didn't know what me and Apollo even where. Neither was Luke. I had no idea what Luke was to me as well. My family, brother, friend, or maybe even more?
I sighed as Apollo took me out side of the air port and his car, looking shinier and cooler than ever.

As I fastened my seat belt Apollo looked over to me and smiled.

"You alright Thalia?"

I nodded my head and smiled slowly at him. "Yeah."

We started driving around a while when we finally reached Hollywood.

"So where do we go?" I asked. It had been a while since I've been in the...um...Underworld.

"Right over here," Apollo grabbed my hand, (love when he does that!)

We ended up in the middle of some random deserted street. The houses looked like they hadn't been painted or fixed up in a thousand years. The street looked really old and there were many lights everywhere. That kinda reminded me of Christmas lights for a very deserted, and a bit ugly looking place.

"Before we go..."Apollo said.
"What?"

He took me in his arms and kissed me. It was so deep and passionate, that I loved every single moment of it.

Then yet it was a bit rough. Hot and heavy.

My hands were lost in his hair once again. His was on my sides and his tongue was shoved into my mouth, as well mine in his, then we both started fighting for dominance.

It felt like we had done this before, (well we had), but what I mean is that we hadn't done anything this extreme. This time we really wanted each other.

My legs were wrapped around his waist as he pushed me against the wall of some saloon, or something like that.

Once we stopped I looked into his eyes, and we both smiled.

"Well Thalia. That was interesting."

"Yeah."

We were both breathing heavy, and by the position we were both in was a bit uncomfortable, so I was blushing like mad.

But after a few minuets he let me down and took me into the middle of the deserted street.

Apollo chanted some random words and once he was done with that he looked over at me and grinned.
"This is a very er, easy way for the gods to get to the Underworld."

I gave him a very confused look until a black portal swooshed under our feet.

"AHH!" I screamed.

"Clam down! Everything's gonna be alright!" Apollo yelled over the sound, that kinda sounded like a bunch of fast dangerous waves.

I blacked out. That I knew.

But when I looked around I saw a dark dim lighted place. My head hurt and I felt like throwing up a hundred times.

"W-where am I?" I asked my self.

"The Underworld," said a even, chimed voice. This beautiful, yet mysterious voice did not belong to Apollo though.

It belonged to Persephone, Demeter's daughter, and as well Hades' immortal wife.

"Persephone?" I said a bit dumb-founded.

"Yes daughter of Zeus?" she asked, her beautiful brown hair was like a long wavy water fall that flowed from her head to her heel.

But where was Apollo. Wasn't he with me?

"Apollo is safe child. Just talking to some dead souls that wanted to um...confront him," she said examining her nails.

"Um...what!"

"His dead ex-girlfriends. They want to hit him around and all. Ya know?"

"Oh yeah. True."

I sat up but looked down at my feet. "Let me guess. You want to see Luke Castallan. That one son of Hermes."

I nodded my head, and finally found the strength to stand up. "May I please see him?" I asked.

Persephone shook her head. "No my dear child. You may not."

"O-oh," I said sadly, and a bit-no a LOT disappointed.

Persephone saw my expression and just laughed. "But if you must then go."

I smiled and silently thanked her as I fallowed a trail of dead souls that guided me to Luke's waiting chamber.

I read the sign on one really dark rough door. It said 'Castalllan' on it.

Gulping, and taking a very deep breath I opened the door and walked inside.

There was Luke sitting in a chair. The room was plain white, to my surprise since we were in the Underworld. "Thalia. Why are you here?" Luke asked me.

"You deserve to be in the Elysium. Not in this pig pen."

Luke smirked. "You were the one who sent me here remember?" I gave him a confused look. "You told Calliope to send me here after I admitted that I had kissed a mortal girl."

"OH yeah!" I suddenly remembered. "Oh...yeah..."

"Why are you here?" Luke asked once again, suddenly sounding very serious.

"I-I wanted to see if you were okay."

"Well I'm fine so leave."

"Why are you acting this way!" I yelled, my blood boiling now. "Will you just let me save you please and come back to Elysium."

"I don't deserve it anymore Thalia."

"Yes. Yes you do! Now can we please just go now," I pleaded him.

Luke stared at me, as if trying to figure me out. Kinda like study me ya know?

But not just that. He was trying to remember my face, my scent. I could tell, that's what I was like when I was either with him or Apollo.

He got up and I let out a small sigh of relief. But in stead he did something very un-expected. He kissed me.

I tried to pull back but his strong arms kept me in place. His hand on my waist and mine traveled to his neck.

He pushed me against the table and things started to get much more heavy.

He practically shoved his tongue into my mouth and grabbed my waist so that I sat up on steel table. "S-stop it," I tried to say.

"Never," he whispered into my ear.

"Stop it Luke," I said.

He stopped kissing me and stared into my eyes. Blue electric eyes, and sky blue eyes meeting each other.

"Why?" Luke asked.

I shook my head, not even daring to look at him.

"You love him," he breathed. He was talking about Apollo.

I didn't really know what had happen next, but then I started crying.
"Yes. I'm sorry. I love you too but I don't know you anymore. I might love him, I don't know what to feel anymore!"

I started to sob into his shirt as he kissed my forehead. "I'm sorry. I love you," he whispered in my hair.

"I love you too."

"But-"

I whipped away my tears and looked him straight in the eye. "You love some one else."

"What! That's so not true!"

"Annabeth. When you died you asked if she loved you. Remember?"

"Well you weren't there! You were crushed by a statue of fucking Hera!"

"But you still asked about Annabeth."

Luke sighed, clearly frustrated. "I love her too. But she's in-love with Percy Jackson. You know that's true."

I nodded my head. Not even daring to speak a word.

"So...I love you too," he said. "Plain and simple. Got that?"

"Yeah."

Luke smiled. This smiled bought back so many memories of him when he was young. Still so sweet and loving. I suddenly remembered all of the feeling I had felt when I was alive again and found out that Luke had betrayed us.

I was heart broken. Absolutely terrified that he would never love me. Though it was all so true.

Luke sat back down at the chair, and rested his head on the table.

"Leave Thalia. You have some one that you love waiting for you."

I shook my head. "I'm not leaving with out you," I whispered.

Luke chuckled. "Too bad. Move along Grace."

I rolled my eyes. "Thalia. Call me Thalia."

Luke smiled. "Thalia."

"Yes?"

"Leave."

I hesitated but nodded my head.

But before I left Luke said something that made my heart stop.

"I love you," he said just in right hearing range.

I smiled and turned my head to look at him. "I love you too Luke."
