Hey! I know Rick probably won't add Thalia's POV but I think we all deserve to know what goes on in her head, especially when they're in a big battle! And, yes, I do believe Thalia cares for Percy and Nico like they were her brothers. I do believe Thals thinks of the two as I've put in here, and I believe that Thalia is like a female-version of Percy, just a daughter of Zeus, so if some thoughts seem Percy-ish...

Anyway! Guess what? I know you can't answer but oh well! My birthday is in 6 days! I would update a chapter a day because of that, but I'd have to write all night so I could just upload it all, and school started again today, so I need my rest. But I'll be sure to update with one or two chapters for my own birthday!

Thalia

With Percy and Annabeth at my side, and Aegis out, this crowd of monsters didn't seem like much after everything we all went through. There wasn't really anywhere to climb to get a better advantage, so I pulled out my silver hunting knives, the ones Artemis had given me.

Two deadly, lunar weapons, nearly whole legion of deadly dracaena, Earth Born, and telekhines, and I was having a blast. It helped having my cousin Death Breath back where I can keep an eye on him.

I couldn't believe he got himself captured! I mean seriously, Nico! What in Hades' name were you thinking? You could've died, and if you did, I would've brought you back to life and killed you again!

I growled in my frustrations as a couple telekhines came towards me, teeth bared and claws out. I had distracted myself and gotten myself cornered.

I held Aegis out in front of me, making the two on my front flinch and hesitate to move forward anymore. I turned my head slightly as I saw one on my flank silently trying to sneak on me from behind.

In one swift movement, the telekhine had a knife through its stomach and the telekhine on my left was momentarily knocked unconscious. The two that were at my front looked at each other, growled, then lunged for me while I was momentarily distracted.

One got lucky and clawed my arm, leaving a long gash from my shoulder down to my elbow. I could feel the blood slowly seeping out of the wound and trickling down my arm.

I narrowed my eyes and the sky got darker as a small clap of thunder rumbled. I threw my other knife at one of the telekhines and nailed it in the heart and I then punched the other one, a shock running down my arm as my fist connected with the thing's face.

Lightning flashed, and the winds picked up. I risked a glance to my right to see Percy's mini hurricane back and blowing strong. I could feel the strength of my cousin's power from all the way across the arena. I could tell his eyes were glowing with fury…a fire was glowing in his eyes, a fire I had only been truly told about…a fire that had scared Annie out of her wits…a fire that had only seen Percy's laid-back, easy-going, carefree face once before…when Annabeth had gotten hurt.

That's when I saw the person on the ground…no…not one person, two people. I could see the blonde curly hair from here and the shaggy black hair as well…No!

No! Please! Please, no! No, no, no, no!

I rushed over towards the heap, stepping on the unconscious telekhine ion the process.

I ran and skidded to a stop beside the people on the ground. I dropped to my knees as Percy, Jason, Leo, and Piper took care of the monsters surrounding us.

I placed my hand on her forehead, pushing back her bangs. She was cold at touch, but her skin was warm. I checked for a pulse.

One second…..Two seconds…..Three seconds…..

No, please.

Fou-thump.

Could it…?

….thump…

Barely, just barely, Annabeth was hanging on to every second of life with every ounce of strength she had. I checked Nico's pulse, and his was faint. Oh so, faint, but still there. Still alive, hanging on by a thread.

Ironic thought, huh? With the Fates, and the snipping of the yarn, and stuff. Man, my thoughts are almost as bad as Kelp Head's. Least I don't say it aloud.

Please, please, let them live. I prayed to the Fates, prayed my heart out, begging them to allow my friends to live. I could feel a stray tear escape and cascade down my cheek.

Stupid tears! Don't they know that I don't cry? Thalia Grace does not cry. Ever! Now only if they knew that. I broke down when Nico was as good as dead, but that was family. He and Percy are the only decent family I have, even if they're idiots. I don't know what I'd do if those two died…I probably wouldn't have any tears left to cry if both those imbeciles died.

I let loose a scream as I felt something sharp and cold pierce my side. My vision was going black slowly, and everything was moving and shifting. I could barely make out the picture of a little girl, holding a knife over me, with a shocked expression that clearly stated What have I done?

So, this kind of brought out my creepy side, didn't it? I think I said this in an A/N for a different story, but my friend read the first couple sentences of an original story of mine called In the Shadows and shuddered and told me it was creepy and I already had her hooked. :) So another reason to be happy! *DO NOT READ ON IF YOU ARE IN GRADES 1-5!* A funny thing that happened is in Health class, we are now talking sex education and how to be safe and stuff. The class couldn't stop laughing for some odd reason, and I'm sitting there, not laughing. I look at my friend who's sitting in front of me and she asks, 'How are ou not cracking up?'

I answered, 'Casue I hear these words you find funny every other day.' She just started laughing harder...weirdo. Hope you enjoyed the story! :)
