Hey again! I know I said this chapter was going to be longer, I just couldn't get myself to write more today. But anyway, here it is, I hope you enjoy.
Thalia arrived in NYC at little before 2:30. She had absolutely NO IDEA what she should do next. She knew that going to an orphanage could work, but they'd probably send her back to mom. That was somewhere she did NOT want to go. She could live in the streets, and she had pretty much everything she needed to survive, along with maybe 20 dollars, so she should be good. She decided to find a nice ally to live in, and wandered off into a random direction.
Thalia had been walking for 40 minutes when she finally found a convivinent spot for her to sleep in. As soon as she sat down, a big shadow came into view around the corner. Positioning herself into a fighting stance she never knew she had, Thalia lunged, ready to take the big baddie herself. What she didn't expect was a tiny boy her age. He looked at her with wide eyes, like she was the most terrifying he had ever seen. Deciding not to be so terrifying, Thalia introduced herself. In response, she got 'Percy Jackson'. "Aren't you too young to be here so late?" Thalia asked. "I live two blocks down, and you don't look much older yourself." Percy retorted. "Fine," Thalia said, "but what are you doing out here anyway?" "I ran away," said Percy, "You?" "Me too," Thalia said sadly. "Then let's be friends!" Percy suggested, and Thalia quickly agreed.
And so the Percy/Thalia friendship begins.
