Chapter 11

"What?" Thalia and Nico said at the same time. The girl looked desperate, she started to get in Thalias face. "ARTEMIS! That name. I've been trying to remember that name for years." She spoke the last

part in a whisper as if she didn't want them to know that she had forgotten something. "Do you remember your own name?" Thalia asked curiously to see if she was crazy or not-cause she certainly

looked it. She was still wearing her raggedy clothing and her eyes were wide with fear and curiousity. Her dark auburn hair was tangled in a loosened pony tail with straggled curly locks hanging all

over the place, her face although streaked with grime was quite beautiful. She had big eyes which when they were open could entrance even the strongest mind within a five foot radius, even Thalia

was a little mind blown. Her nose was small and quite adorable so it gave her a look of innocence although with about 5 kitchen knives (which strangely looked to be made of celestial bronze) strapped

to the belt loops of her jeans it kind of shattered the innocent look. Her lips were full and a soft shade of red, which contrasted beautifully against her pale skin. All in all Thalia was quite happy that she

looked 12 or 13 not 16 or else she would've had to drive while Nico made out with her in the backseat. She grimaced at the thought just as the girl said in a defensive tone. "Of course I remember my

name!" A few moments passed until Nico piped up "Indulge us then." She looked at him through the drivers mirror and scowled "It's LUNA. L-U-N-A LUNA." As soon as she said it Thalia and Nico both got

shivers, now they knew for sure that they had the daughter of Artemis in the backseat. After a few moments Thalia decided to tell the whole story to Luna, starting at how she was born to now and

what was happening at camp half-blood. It was good they had an hour cause there was a lot to explain. Apparently Luna had been on her own since she was five. Mooching off of lonely old women or

homeless shelters, she said that she had regretfully stolen a lot over her life. That entire time she had been chased by monsters of every type, and she invented names for them over time. She hadn't

been educated but she was an incredibly smart girl her name for hydras were Ydras which was miraculously the Greek word for hydras. In fact after she had told them all the names she had given the

monsters, Nico and Thalia realized they were all the Greek names. They were astounded for usually half-bloods had to know the English word before they could easily translate but it was like she saw

the monsters and name just came to her. For she called Cyclops, Kyklopas, she even knew the word for half-bloods (apparently she had had some bad run ins with some "evil" ones) aimata miso.

Hearing this Nico got confused "Why didn't you just call them humans or teenagers?" "Because I could tell they were magical." She responded simply. "How?" He asked. "Because they kept on fighting

me with… well magical powers and weapons." "Oh." He responded feeling stupid. They were about 5 minutes away when Thalia just had to ask "So you've been trying to remember your mothers' name

all this time?" Luna nodded grimly, then said "When you said it I just got this feeling that told me the name was connected to me somehow, and I had a pretty good guess of how." Thalia just nodded

and turned to face the front window again. A few moments later Nico pulled the car to the ditch and said "Well we should go on foot from here." Thalia nodded and got out of the car all the while

wondering how this would pan out. She hoped well cause she was not about to not be with Nico anymore.
