Thanks for the ideas! I got many from PerachelNeedsToJumpInAHole, and the inspiration for the beginning of this from GigglesALot. Don't hesitate to tell me any ideas/requests!

Thalia: part two

After Connor finished his bathroom break, Travis started up the movie once more.

Seven-year-old Thalia walked into her apartment, closing the door quietly, not wanting to disturb her mother. Instead, when she turned around, she found that the one she had been trying to avoid was waiting, with her new fling of the week standing by her side. Thalia wrinkled her nose and you could tell that she smelled alcohol from the many .beer bottles strewn across the floor of the room. Her mother looked furious, and Thalia whimpered. You could see bruises along her limbs, and a really painful looking one on her cheek. "What is this?" Thalia's mom spat, waving around a piece of paper in the air. Thalia squinted, struggling to see what the paper was, and the problem. "Do you know what this is? Huh, huh?" Thalia's mom shrieked. Thalia shook her head glumly, her eyes full of terror, transfixed on her mother, like a mouse facing a cobra. "Your report card" the evil woman said, menacingly. Thalia's eyes widened, and now you could plainly see the terror etched on her face. "Can you explain yourself?" the woman hissed, still waving the cursed piece of paper in her hand. "Y-yes" Thalia stuttered.

Everyone in the room was in disbelief. They never saw Thalia show weakness.

As if she saw their looks, seven-year-old Thalia's face suddenly hardened in anger and determination. "Yes, I can explain" Thalia repeated. "I have dyslexia, for one, but to top that off, I have a horrible mother like you! Most kids have parents to help, but I don't, and I can't even complete my homework or study at a reasonable time, because otherwise you'll hurt me more than some bad grades would!" Thalia was now shrieking too, her chest heaving and her face flushed with anger. When she saw her mothers face, hers suddenly drained color to a ghostly white. Her mother started forward, but her boyfriend beat her to it. He slugged Thalia in the eye, threw her into the wall, then held her up against the wall by the collar of her shirt, glaring into her eyes. You little B****! He exclaimed!( Now for the purpose of this rating, lets say he said) You little brat! You can never talk to my lady like that! Apologize! He said, lifting her higher and higher against the wall. Thalia nodded frantically from her position. The boyfriend (Let's just name him Paul.) Paul dropped her quickly and she unceremoniously fell into a heap on the floor. After a moment, she got up, trembling, and said, with despise in her eyes, "I'm sorry…That I have such a horrible excuse for family." Thalia then swiftly kicked him where it counts and bolted for the door, with her mother screaming "Get back here you devil spawn, get back here so I can kick your ***" Thalia sprinted outside, and kept running for miles, until she fell down, exhausted. It was when she was laying down on the ground, panting, that she finally let a few tears fall. Hours later, Thalia assessed the damage done and gingerly touched the back of her head. When her hand came back to her line of sight, covered in blood, she groaned, then fell asleep right there, on the side of the road.

Thalia didn't go home for five days after that, and when she finally did, she found her mother on the couch, passed out.

Annabeth just said "Oh my gods, Thalia," then came over and hugged her. Thalia stayed stiff, her eyes watching the screen as a new scene appeared.

Wow, that was depressing. Sorry it's so short, but it came quickly! Please send ideas, I will acknowledge you if I use them!

Remember to review!

Also, I have been getting many requests for Thalico, and Annabeth's story.

Hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm…

Luv ya!
