Thank you guys so much for all of the reviews and favorites I've been getting! It's awesome!
THALIA'S POV:
I couldn't believe it. He was back. Ever since I got kicked out of the hunters I have accepted my feelings for Percy.
~flashback~
I was dreaming. It wasn't a demigod dream; it was just a normal dream. And it was nice. I was dreaming about Percy. I know I'm a hunter and all, but the heart wants what the heart wants! It's not my fault I fell for him!
I woke up groggily three hours later on my little cot underneath a canopy of trees. We were in the amazon hunting for the spawn of the Nemean Lion. We had yet to catch up with it.
"THALIA! WHERE ARE YOU?" I heard Artemis scream. I panicked and rushed over, thinking that we were being attacked, but it was just her. Her clothes were frumpled like she'd been tossing and turning in her sleep.
"Yes my lady?" I said, putting on my best sad puppy face, seeing her angry look.
"You were dreaming." I was confused.
"Um, what about it my lady?" I said cautiously.
"You were dreaming...about Percy Jackson." My eyes widened and I freaked. What would she do to me?
"N-no my lady, I-it wasn't like t-that!" I said hurriedly.
"Get out; you are obviously not ready to commit to the hunters. Go home, Thalia." She said coldly.
She turned and walked away. I screamed and cried to her back, "My lady, my lady PLEASE! Don't do this! I promise I won't ever disappoint you again! PLEASE!" but she was gone.
I fell to my knees and cried. I cried for so long that when it was morning, the other hunters rushed over to me and asked what was wrong.
I just slapped off their hands and ran. I had to go back to camp, because I had to tell Percy that I loved him. I knew he would reject me, but I had to at least tell him or I'd go mad.
But when I got there he was gone. Everyone was in a frenzy about him. Apparently he just left.
But I knew what really happened. They had dissed him and flocked to his stupid brother. I ran to the Zeus cabin and took out my anger on the statue, watching as I made it burst into thousands of little pieces.
I knew I would get hell for it later, but I didn't care.
I just let all of my anger out. Anger for Annabeth and what she did to Percy, anger for Artemis for what she did to me, anger at the crappy hand I'd been dealt with in life.
But I knew I'd see Percy again one day, I just knew it...
~flashback end~
And now I was seeing him again! I knew he'd come back. But after three years I had become skeptical. We knew EVERYONE in the titan war had been made immortal, so we had all the time in the world to wait for him.
I was walking to their cabin. I mulled over my thoughts of the soldiers of Chaos. They were dangerous, that was definite. But I knew they could be nice when they wanted.
I reached the door of their cabin and knocked. I only had to wait a moment as one of them opened immediately.
"What?" He said. He was about five feet tall with brown hair and eyes, and he had leftover baby fat; but he still looked pretty freaking scary.
"U-uh, I just wanted to s-see Percy!" the guys looked confused.
"Who?"
So Percy hadn't old them who he was.
"I mean Ice, I wanna see Ice." The guys face changed from confusion to immense amusement.
"Haha! Yeah, sure. Come on in!" he stepped aside and I cautiously walked through the threshold.
"Just a warning, the commander doesn't really like strangers!" but I wasn't a stranger.
I think I'll be fine, I mean, I wasn't here when they deserted him. I wasn't a part of it!
I walked to the end of the hall to a door that said 'Commander' on it. I knocked three times.
An angry, "What?", came from the other side of the door.
"I-it's Thalia." I said feebly.
I heard a bunch of knocking sounds like things were getting pushed aside to make way. The door knob jumbled and opened really quickly. A wide eyed Percy stared back at me, looking exactly like the same sixteen year old as he had last been when I saw him.
Except for the eyes.
Gods, his eyes. They used to be the most beautiful ocean green. Now they looked like royal blue glaciers, but they were still breathtaking. His hair was mussed like he had been sleeping.
He looked like an excited puppy, and I hoped it was because I was here, and not for something else. I was right, as the next second he enveloped me in a huge hug.
I immediately hugged him back, reveling in the scent of him. I couple moments later he pulled back with his arms still around me. I smiled and he did too.
"Hey Thals. How ya been?" he said.
"I got kicked out of the hunters." I said, my smile slipping. He stopped grinning and pulled me into another hug, his face looking sad.
"I'm sorry Thalia. What happened?" he asked.
"Artemis found me thinking about a certain black haired, River Styx dipped boy. So I don't regret it." I said grinning.
He blushed and grinned.
"Hey, I'll see you at dinner kay?" he let go of me, blushing even more.
"Yeah." I said, thinking he didn't like me like that. Then he did something shocking.
He kissed my cheek.
It was a chaste kiss, but a kiss nonetheless. I stood there with my mouth open and my eyes wide.
He caught my expression and smirked. "You'll catch flies you know."
"Shut up, Kelp head!" I blushed so hard it wasn't even funny.
He just laughed and closed the door, looking at my face one last time before closing the door, shaking his head and chuckling.
I turned and walked out into the fresh air, my hand clutching my cheek. I stopped and turned to stare at the black cabin with constellations across it. My eyes found the window of Percy's room and I saw the curtains move. So he had been watching me.
My heart fluttered and my stomach leaped.
I was in love with Perseus Jackson.
PERCY POV:
I was in love with Thalia Grace.
Yeah, I know she's my cousin. But it's not like the whole camp isn't somewhat related.
I watched her as she walked out of the cabin, clutching to her cheek like she couldn't believe I'd kissed her. To be honest, I couldn't believe it either.
But at least I knew she liked me back. Now I didn't have to worry if I'd made a complete fool out of myself.
She turned and looked up at my window and I backed out of sight, the lace curtains swinging from the movement. Damn, she saw me!
I ran over to my bed and flopped on my belly, my face drowning in the cushions. My stomach was doing backflips at the very thought of Thalia.
I was so happy! I'm sure I looked like a smile had been permanently implanted into my face.
Dinner was in five minutes so I put on my black hoodie and converse with a smile on my face. But as I opened the door I wiped my expression clean and walked down stairs, turning into Ice; assassin of Chaos once again. I walked out the door and the soldiers followed close.
We walked to the pavilion and I suddenly stopped at the entrance, the soldiers bumping into eachother at the sudden halt. Everyone in camp was there. But that wasn't what I was focusing on.
At the Poseidon table was my father, waiting with an anxious face. But what really caught me off guard was the fact that he was in full blown god form, fifteen feet tall and everything.
The campers stared at us, waiting to see what happened next. Even I wasn't ready.
He rushed over, his every footstep shaking the ground. He picked me up in a hug and lifted me fifteen feet in the air.
I kicked my feet back and forth, struggling to get free; all the while shouting loudly, "LAND, LAND!". He chuckled as there was a roar of laughter and set me down.
I was still Ice, commander of Chaos, and I hated this man with every fiber of my being. So I did the rational thing.
I punched a god in the face.
He staggered back and clutched his face like I'd burned him. I had to give him credit, he didn't fall down. But that was probably only because he was an Olympian.
"Hello father." I said coldly, my smile sending chills down everyone's back.
