*TIME SKIP* Thalia's Alive!

A/N: I have fifty followers! Yay! *happy dance* Again, REALLY sorry for not updating. The homework load's not getting any lighter over here! I have decided to skip to the part where Thalia turns into a girl. I really enjoyed going deeper into what Thalia's reactions were. Anyway, even though this chapter is in Lina's POV, like always, this focuses mainly on Thalia and the fact she is alive.

Enjoy the next chapter of "Love and Hate's Daughter!" It's pretty LONG! :)

We had gotten back from our quest to find the Golden Fleece to save Thalia's tree about a month ago. What had really pained me was how much Luke has changed the past year. I hate it with every freaking fiber of my body. Also on the quest, Annabeth had found her fatal flaw; ant we found out that Tyson was a nice Cyclops. Percy had almost gotten turned into a guinea pig forever, Grover almost got married to a Cyclops, and Luke tried to kill Percy AGAIN, but we'd gotten back fine. Then we'd had chariot race number two, in which Percy and Annabeth won. Ironically, my twelfth birthday was on the same date.

Someone was shaking me. "Lina, Lina, get up."

"What is it Kelp Head?" I snap, irritated.

"Something's happened at the border with the fleece." Percy says.

"All right, I'm coming," I say. All my cabin mates were still asleep. I quickly get dressed and make my hair look presentable, and then I run up to the hill.

By the tree, a girl lay unconscious. Annabeth was in a suit of armor, by the girl's side. The girl sort of looked like Thalia, but no, it can't be. But she REALLY looked like Thals. Am I going insane?

"Well?" Percy says. "What are we waiting for? Let's get her to the big house people!"

The girl coughed, and opened her eyes, which were exactly like Thalia's.

I'm going insane!

"Who—" The girl says.

"I'm Percy," Percy says.

"Strangest dream," the girl says.

"It's okay," Percy soothes.

"Dying," she mutters.

"No you're okay." Percy says. "What's your name?"

"I am Thalia," the girl says. "Daughter of Zeus."

My mouth opens and clothes.

"So, I have to tell Thalia about Luke?" I say to Annabeth, hands on my hips.

"Well, she'll take it from you," she retorts.

"Do you want me to get killed?" I inquire her.

"She won't kill you Lina," Annabeth reassures me.

Chiron comes in. "Girls, she's ready for you."

We both take a deep breath, and we walk into the infirmary.

"Annabeth…Lina…is that you?" Thalia says.

"Yes, yes it's us!" I walk towards her and engulf her into a hug.

"Look at you two! You look exactly like I imagined the future you's to look like!" Thalia exclaims. "I can't believe I've missed you two growing up!"

"Yeah, yeah…believe me Thals you'd want to miss it." I say.

"Where's Luke?" Thalia says. "The four of us have a lot of catching up to do!"

Annabeth and I look at each other and catch a breath.

"LukebetrayedusayearagoforKronosandpoisonedyourtreeImsosorryThals." I say really fast, wringing my hands and catching a breath.

"What?" Thalia says.

"Luke betrayed us for the Titan King," I say. "And he poisoned the tree. I'm so sorry Thals."

I was expecting a shock or something, but she just sighs, and takes a deep breath. "It…it's just hard, you know? Being in a tree, then waking up, and seeing you guys older; twelve and fourteen not six and eight, and then Luke's change…"

"I know," Annabeth says. "But it will get better. Everything gets better."

"Oh yeah, there's also another big three child, son of Poseidon." I blurt out.

"Lina, you have to bring that up right now?" Annabeth says with clenched teeth.

"Son…son of Poseidon? There's another child of the Big Three?" Thalia says. "So Poseidon broke the oath as well?"

"Yep." I say, popping the p. "Only Hades kept his word…which I find weird, since he was like forced to make that oath." I say.

"So…" Annabeth says, breaking the tension a bit. "Want us to show you around the place?"

"Sure, I guess." Thalia says, shrugging her shoulders.

As we exit the Big House into the camp, people kept looking at Thalia and whispering things.

Finally she snaps: "Yes, I'm alive. Get over it! Do you all know what it's like to be hidden in a tree for six years, and find your best friend deemed a traitor, your two surrogate little sisters to be almost my age, and I don't even know how old I am! I don't think I look nineteen, do I? The last thing I need is you all staring!"

They still keep gawking, so I make my voice charmspeak-electric: "You heard the girl."

They all turn away in a trance.

Percy walks up to us. "You're, uh, Thalia, right?" He says to her.

"Who did you think it was a rock?" Thalia says.

"Yes Kelp Head that is indeed Thalia. We thought no one would figure out who she is, so you get a grand prize!" I say sarcastically.

"Wait, Lina, why did you call him Kelp Head?" Thalia questions.

"Because I'm a son of Poseidon," Percy blurts out.

"Okay—you know what? Thalia, I'm really sorry for surrounding you with people who don't think before they say!" Annabeth says, glaring pointedly at Percy and me.

"HEY!" We both say.

"It's okay. Annabeth and Lina already told me a bit about you." Thalia says.

"So, have you guys shown her Cabin One yet?" Percy says.

"Kelp Head, I've never been inside." I say, rolling my eyes. "Besides, we're saving that for last."

"I just—really wanted to go in it."

"Seaweed Brain, you're delusional. If you go in there, that Zeus statue will shock you to death!" Annabeth snaps.

"I personally just want to see your cabins," Thalia says.

I make a face. "I was actually planning on skipping mine. My siblings insist on reeking the place with perfume; ugh. You know," I say rolling my eyes. "Aphrodite girls. Plus, I don't think you're up to being bombarded with questions from my friends."

"I'm really not. Can you just show me cabin One?"

"My request remains." Percy says.

"Fine, you can come," Thalia says. "But you guys have to let me go in there first."

"Why?" Percy asks.

"Umm, let's see, it's my cabin and I've never been inside." Thalia retorts back.

Annabeth and I guide them towards the mass of cabins.

"Here," Annabeth offers. "We should probably get a sleeping bag or something because there are no beds in that place."

"Yeah…" I say. We run to the Big House and get one, and when we get back, they are fighting already.

"Knew it would happen eventually," I say, and toss Thalia the sleeping bag. "Sorry, we couldn't really find any beds. We'll move in one tomorrow."

"I don't really think the hippie statue of my father is really the best design," Thalia says.

I shudder. "No wonder they didn't let anyone in here."

"No, what I would have done was…" Annabeth started talking about architecture.

"She does that a lot." I inform Thalia.

"Is that the training arena?" Thalia asks, peering at the view of it from her cabin.

"Yep." I say.

She grins evilly. "Either of you feel in the sparring mood?"

"No, thanks, I don't feel like getting butt-kicked," Annabeth says.

I think for a moment. "Me neither."

"I'll fight you," Percy says out of nowhere.

"I—I thought you left!" I say.

"Fine," Thalia says as we walk towards the arena. "Your weapon?"

"I use a sword," Percy says. "I don't know what you use however.

Thalia pulls out her spear and her shield Aegis, and Percy flinches.

As a crowd begins to gather, I pretend to play "announcer."

"Welcome to the fight of the Big Three!" I yell, magnifying my voice. "This fight features Thalia, daughter of Zeus, versus Percy, son of Poseidon! My money's on Thals over here." I say, nodding in her direction.

"HEY!" Percy says. "I thought you were my friend!" I stick my tongue out at him.

Percy tries to strike Thalia with Riptide, but Thalia easily deflected it.

"Point to Thalia!" I yell.

Then Percy gets the upper hand, slashing at Thalia's unguarded point.

"Point to Perseus!" I yell to annoy him; Percy hates being called Perseus.

"Lina, we've gone over this, I'm not a son of Zeus!" Percy tells me.

After thirty minutes of the fighting, everyone's tired.

"ALRIGHT! I'm calling it a draw!" I yell.

"But—" Percy says.

"So close—" Thalia says.

"Well, too bad! Everyone's tired; just accept that you two have the same fighting ability."

So, when are you going to tell Thalia?" Percy asks me.

"Tell Thalia what?" I ask him.

"You know…witch girl?" Percy teases. "I'm sure Thalia will be upset to hear that one of her best friends will be leaving for England in two weeks."

Wow, I hadn't thought about that. I mean, I've sent letters to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, even though, I haven't gotten any back from Harry, which I find disappointing, but I didn't think I would be seeing them so soon! But, on the bad side, I'd be separated from Thals.

"SHUT UP KELP HEAD!" I shriek. "What Thalia doesn't know won't hurt her, and this WILL!"

The week went by fast, and I MEAN fast. Thalia, Annabeth, and I were just getting closer every day.

"Wait," Thalia was saying. "So Percy's brother is a Cyclops?"

"Yeah, but he's a good one." Annabeth reassures.

"Yeah, we all know how much you like Poseidon's kids," Thalia says.

"What do you mean?" Annabeth says.

I couldn't resist.

"ANNABETH LIKES PERCY!" I scream at the top of my lungs, and I run out of the Zeus cabin.

I run to the Aphrodite cabin in a rush, and I close the door.

"Whoa, Lina, are you alright?" Silena asks me. "Wait a second…what did you do?"

"I may have screamed: 'Annabeth likes Percy!' In front of Annabeth and Thalia, and then I ran because I didn't want to get murdered."

"Lina…really…?" She says. "But they will be together soon, I can tell."

I laugh. "Can't we all? The only people who can't tell are Percy and Annabeth themselves."

The dinner bell rings. "Bring me food?" I ask Silena.

She rolls her eyes. "Oh, come on, you can't hide from Annabeth forever."

I sigh. "Fine."

We head to dinner and sit at the Aphrodite table. Annabeth was giving me her look from the Athena cabin that read: 'I forgive you this time Lina but if you do it again I will personally see to it that you will suffer' look. Thalia just simply winked at me from the Zeus table, and I knew all was well.

A week. Just a week until I leave for Hogwarts. A week until the end of summer term.

"How on earth am I going to tell Thalia?" I wonder aloud.

"Tell Thalia what?" A voice says. I turn around, and just my luck, it was Thalia herself.

"Um…" I decided to just say it outright; like Chiron did last year. "I'm a witch."

"You mean the whole thing with Hecate?" She asks me.

I nod. "Exactly. It turns out my abusive "father" is not my actual father; and my actual father is a bad wizard."

"Who is he, then?"

"I don't know, no one will tell me anything," I say resentfully.

Thalia looks at me. "Why don't you prove it?"

"All right, I will." I say. I take out my wand from my pocket and I say: "Aguamenti!" She is all wet with water, and she gives me a death-glare. I shudder. I thought mine were good.

"Hey, you said you wanted the proof! Here's your proof!"

"Finish explaining; before I decide to make you suffer." She says her voice dangerously calm.

"Okay, I will." I say. I decide that I wouldn't tell her about the Fire element until much later, when I actually need it. I will need it in second year, however…

"Well, I go to a school of magic called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I start my second year in a week. It's—it's in England, and I—I start a day after the summer se—session's over. "I—I'm so sorry, Thalia."

"So—so I get you back for a month and then I lose you again?" She says.

"I'm sorry. I'll come for Christmas Break, I promise."

She sighs.

"Lina." A voice says. It was Percy. "Can't you see that now is not a good time?" I hiss.

"When is it ever a good time?" Percy says.

"What—what do you mean?" I ask.

"What I mean is that, it's always Thalia this, Thalia that. "Oh, I'm sorry Percy, but I have to do this with Thalia. Oh, I'll help you later, but I'm in the middle of something with Thalia. Haven't you noticed that ever since Thalia came back; you haven't spent like any time with me, and now the summers over?"

"She—she was a tree for six years, for heaven's sake!" I retort.

"I get that, okay? But I thought I'd have some time with you." Percy says. "Anyways, there are three redheads by the fireplace asking for you. Do you know a Ron, Fred, and George Weasley?"

"Yes, I do. But what the Hades are they doing here?" I demand.

"That's what I want to find out." Percy says.

"Wait a minute," I say alarmingly. "Aren't the Stolls in the Big House right now?"

"Yeah, why?" Percy says.

"I told; you if they meet, BAD THINGS HAPPEN!" I yell that part for emphasis.

"I can already guess what will happen," Thalia says.

Come on, we have to GO!" I yell. And the three of us run to the Big House.

A/N: LONG chapter, wasn't it? Ah, so Thalia knows about Lina! What horrible things do you think the Weasley twins and the Stolls are doing? Wait a moment! How do the twins know about Lina's demigod secret; she never told them! What about Percy; how does he feel about Lina abandoning him for Thalia? Yes Lina goes to Hogwarts in the next chapter!

Find out all these things in the next chapter! I'll try to update sooner! :)
