Chapter 14 ( Thalia's P.O.V.)

The nerve of that girl. Does she really think I'm stupid enough to break my other hand two? My hand isn't even broken. Just my favorite finger.

" Well if your hand isn't broken Thalia then what is?"

" My favorite finger." It hurt to flip him the bird but it was broken.

" Very classy Thalia. Very." He said.

" Yeah well my middle name isn't Classy for nothing." I smirked. " What is taking that girl so long?"

Nico shrugged. " She said she was going to get some water. Maybe it's just a bit farther away then we thought."

" Well I hate sitting here doing nothing. I'm going to find something to make a shelter out of." I said.

" Thalia don't go in there alone."

" It's not like I won't be able to handle myself if something happens. Besides I'm the friggin' Hulk of fighting."

He hesiated. " Fine but if I hear a scream I'm chasing after you."

I walked into the woods just far enough so he couldn't see me but he could hear me. Then I let out the worst scream manageable.

" THALIA!" I heard him shout he was running into the woods full speed. He stopped just feet away from where I was hiding. But he was few feet behind so I crept up behind him and let out another scream right into his ear. He jumped a few feet into the air. He glared at me when I saw that I was laughing my head off.

" That was so not funny Thalia. I was worried you got hurt."

I stopped laughing and gave him a quick kiss. " I'm sorry but it was just to perfect of a chance to waste. If you really hear me screaming in terror you'll know."

" Alright." He hugged me. Before he left he said. " By the way when were done with this I will so shove you into the dirtiest pond I can find." With that he left.

The woods weren't scary for me. Just creepy. Okay they were scary for me but I would never tell a living person that. The woods got thicker and thicker as I walked deeper into it. I saw something flash through the trees. It was fast like lighting.

" Who's there?" I asked. I stopped dead in my tracks." Nico if this is you this isn't funny."

I heard something laugh. Like a heyna. I saw it run again. I started rubbing my bracelet like I always do when I get nervous. It laughed again.

" Whatever you are come out now unless you're to much of a coward too." I shouted again to it.

" Alright." It said. It crawled out on all four. It was the size of monster truck. It was slender like a heyna and had slick black fur with white dots on it. It's eyes were bright amber.

" What are you?" I was pushed up against a large tree with no good braches to climb.

It smiled. " Well my dear friend I am you. I am what you wished to be your whole life. I am what you want to be."

" You're lying. I've never wanted to be a creepy over sized heyna."

" Am I Thalia Grace?" How did it know my name? " You and me are the same. We both want a life were nothing will happen to people we love. We both want to be free and do what we like. You want to be free from a world where nothing good will ever come your way with out a price. A deadly one at times. The same price your Mother had to pay. And the price you brother, Jason also had to pay. Would you like to see Jason again. He's alive and well in another place."

Jason was alive? He was taken when he was young. I never knew what had happened to him. I always thought that he had died.

" Who are you?" I asked.

" I am Muriel. I rule these woods. I was caste in here when I was young because your father thought I was a monster. He thought that I would never do what he wanted so he got rid of me. Just like he did with you."

Muriel was right. I had never been able to live up to his crazy expectations. He sent me to every kingdom so we wouldn't have to deal with me. He always thought I was a mistake. A mistake. That's what I was. That's what he thought Muriel was. A mistake.

" How can I see Jason again?" I asked more kindly this time.

" I have away but I can't share it easy. I need you to promise me that you'll do one small task for me. Once you do that, you can see your dear brother again."

" Alright. Lead me to Jason.

" Foolish girl. " Muriel smiled. It was an evil smile. Before I could realize my mistake she started singing the song that will forever haunt my dream.

" We're gonna get you. We're gonna get you. Not a peep. Go to sleep. Their gonna get you. Runaway and spend the day DEAD!" She lunged at me. I blacked out.

A/N I can't stop telling you how fun this is to write! I'm starting a new story tomorrow. It will be basically a bunch of one shots of our favorite couples except of Frazel. I don't like Frank so I'm not writing for him. Plain and simple. It should be up tomorrow.
