AN:I own nothing and I forgot to put this on the last one but I thank MoonDance29 for the original idea
"What is between those two?" Grover asked pointing to Thalia and me.
"Who knows?" Percy said.
"They won't tell us." Annabeth joined in.
Finally Thalia notched an arrow and pointed it at me and told me to stop insulting Lady Artemis.
"Lady Artemis would be a challenge in a fight but not you humani."
"I may be a humani but at least I'm not a vampire!"
"Don't you dare insult vampires," I said calmly while lighting silver flames in my hands.
"Don't you dare insult Lady Artemis!"
"If you, humani, wish to keep living in this world and not you underworld I suggest that you don't dare insult vampires again," I said with equal calmness but showing my teeth and bloodlust in my eyes. When Thalia saw this she backed down and made her bow disappear then went to greet her friends.
"Grover, Percy, Annabeth how are you three?"
"Fine but I don't think I've ever seen you back down from a fight before."
"There is a reason the gods are nervous about him and the lesser gods are afraid."
"But still…"
"Drop it Percy," I said giving him the same look that I just gave Thalia; it didn't surprise me when he backed down, what did surprise me was when Annabeth raised her dagger and told me to back down. "Daughter of Athena, personification of war and intelligence, you are surprising."
"What do you mean personification, she is a god?"
"Yes and no, yes she is what you consider a god, but she is a representation of the humani group mind displaying her who is based off an Elder."
"What?" Percy asked.
"Humani have a psychic field which connects them, when a lot of people believe so furiously about something it is created in response, for example there was an Athena, but she was an Elder, then there is the personification of her, Annabeth's mom."
"But mom is real."
"Oh, of course she is, I didn't say she wasn't, it is just that while there is your Athena who is good, the Elder Athena was neutral. This works with the Basts also, the Elder one is evil, while the Egyptian god Bast is a good friend and excellent warrior."
"So there is two Athena's?"
"No there is only your mom now Annabeth," the way I said that made them stop asking questions, "Now enough with all of this lets go eat and I can help you kick the Hunters butts next week in capture the flag."
Blah, Thalia stuck her tongue out at me.
"Now, now is that any way for the lead Hunter to act, Thalia?"
"Shut up."
"What you want me to tell them?" I asked leaning over and whispered it in Thalia's ear.
"No!" Thalia exclaimed spinning me around to be face to face with her. "You wouldn't."
"Why it isn't that bad."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Fine, fine but you have to admit it is a wonderful loophole."
"What loophole?" Annabeth asked turning around.
"Nothing, not my secret to share and everyone is entitled to their own secrets."
"Okay…"
"Let's go eat now."
"Yeah I hope today's dinner is as exciting as last nights," Annabeth said turning to wink at me.
"Stuff it you," I said while sticking my tongue out.
"Why what did he do last night?"
"He started a fight with the goddess of the hearth after trying to start one with Mr. D."
"Really you have to create a scene where ever you go?"
"Hey when we first met I had those monsters handled until you made them antsy, plus I saved all of you."
"No, you didn't save all of us," Thalia's face turned cold.
"I'm sorry, I truly am Thalia, I tried everything I knew, not even Apollo could save her, though I did make sure she made Elysium."
"It was the least you could have done."
"I couldn't do more, I couldn't save her, I really did everything Thalia, I even transferred my life force to try and heal her body."
"Yeah, let's go eat."
"Thalia?"
"Don't, trust me she doesn't need your pity right now."
"Pity?" questioned Annabeth.
"I mean comforting. I'll go talk to her?"
"Why you, I thought you hated each other?"
"Because I'm here brother and I know what's wrong; no we don't hate we each other, we hate the same person."
"If you hate the same person…" Percy started.
"Who?" Annabeth interrupted.
"Me," I said curtly before walking away.
"Thalia?"
"Go away."
"If you really wanted to be alone you wouldn't have walked into the cabin you knew I was staying in even if it is our father's cabin."
"It is you fault."
"I know but I was twelve, I didn't have very good control, I've spent every day of the last three years practicing control."
"Yeah too late, she is already dead."
"I know, and you know something else I think Annabeth figured out what is going on."
"I'm sure she did."
"I know me being sorry doesn't change anything but still I'm extremely sorry."
"You're right it doesn't change anything," then Thalia got up and left the cabin by slamming the door.
After Thalia left I waited a minute then got up and walked out to go eat sighing as I left the cabin thinking will she every move on because she would like her to.
After dinner was over I started to walk away until I was cut off by Annabeth.
"I know what is going on."
"Brava, but that doesn't mean you can do anything, but if you wish to try you're going to have to find her first, because I'm not going to be the one to tell you exactly what happened."
"Then listen and I will talk and you can tell me if I'm close. You have a lot of power and seemingly excellent control for being only fifteen; obviously you lost control and killed one of Thalia's soldiers."
"You got my part right, but the Hunters prepare for loss and Thalia isn't cold hearted so it would affect her if she lost a teammate, just not for three years," I said before walking away, knowing that she would figure out exactly what happened now.
"Oh," was all I heard her say before she ran off to look for Thalia.
"Well at least she's open minded," I thought out loud.
"Who is?" "Grover came up to me and asked.
"Annabeth."
"Why?"
"Not my secret to share Grover, sorry."
"Wait is Annabeth…"
Before he could finish his sentence I cut in, "No and before you ask no I'm not either."
"Well Clarisse is looking for you, she wants to fight."
"Well she wouldn't be much of a challenge so no, but I wonder if I could try to contact Hades because he owes me a Helm of Darkness replica which works exactly the same way."
"You could always contact him using Hermes or Isis."
"Hermes wouldn't be such a bad idea, if people need me, like Thalia and Annabeth, I will be down by the water, see ya Grover."
"Yeah, see ya."
"Hermes I need a message delivered to Hades would you do it?" I asked to the sky.
"I guess, what's the message?" Hermes asked appearing behind me.
"Tell him I want my Helm now and that if he doesn't give it to me I will direct all deaths to him and not just the ones in your guys' domain."
"Okay," Hermes said before disappearing.
"David! Why did you tell Annabeth?" Thalia demanded as she walked towards me with Annabeth.
"I didn't."
"But you laid enough clues for her to figure out."
"You needed to tell one of your friends, you've let this rot inside of you for years; you need to meet someone else like she wanted you too," I said before a box labeled 'David' fell out of the sky right in front of me. "Thank you Hermes."
"What is that?"
"My own Helm of Darkness," I carefully took it out and looked at it then took off my fedora and replaced it with the Helm of Darkness shaped like a fedora.
"Don't get him off topic Annabeth, how can I take your word for that, you are the reason she's dead."
"Because I didn't do it on purpose, I never would do it on purpose to anyone let alone my own sister."
"Yeah, right I bet you hated me."
"Why would I have hated you, you were happy, I've done nothing but hate myself every day since that happened, I don't hate any of the variety of couples at Camp why would I hate my own sister."
"Stop calling me that we've only met a handful of times why do you even care for me as a sister?"
"Because you are my sister, whether we only met a few times or not; why would you think I hate you?"
"Because you have avoided me like the plague."
"Out of shame and because when she died if I didn't siphon off some of your pain you would have collapsed mentally so I know who much you cared for her so I felt the loss."
"I still doubt you don't hate me," Thalia said looking away.
"Look," I stepped forward and grabbed her head and rested my forehead against hers to make her look into my eyes, "I do care for you and I don't care about who you are happy with as long as you are happy and in your words 'we've only met a handful of times why do you even care' about my opinion. I mean really come on."
"I care for the same reason you care for me, you are my sibling."
"Is this what you've let rot that you fear your family doesn't accept you, you should know Percy, Nico, Annabeth, and Grover are closer to you, you should care about their opinions more than mine."
"But while yes they are my cousins, niece, and a very good satyr, you are still my brother."
"Yet they all have more right to call you sister than I do, plus how could you think that they would care, I'm sure they would treat you the same, sure some jokes here or there, but they would still treat you the same and also maybe try to hook you up with someone," I said smiling still holding her head and starting to wipe away tears that started to form, "For someone who puts on such a strong front you are full of emotion so deep that it would actually make me stuffed." As I started to pull back I realized that tears were actually forming in my eyes, which surprised me the most out of this conversation, while I can show emotions I have never cried even if it was out of joy.
"Shut up," she said giving a little chuckle and punched my stomach.
"At least you are back to normal."
"What's normal for demigods?"
"Good point."
"Was this the entire problem that existed between you and the Hunters," Annabeth spoke up.
"Yeah, and you say entire like it was a small one this was a huge problem, especially since we both have the potential to live forever."
"Oh I didn't think of that."
"And here I thought you thought of everything Annabeth."
"So where is Seaweed Brain?"
"Who knows, hey Wise Girl where is your boyfriend?" Thalia and I turned to face Annabeth.
"What am I supposed to keep constant tabs on my boyfriend?" Then Thalia and I turned to face each other and then back to Annabeth.
"Yes," we both said at the same time.
"Oh real funny guys, team up on a person real fair."
"Hey when you can't win your normal way either team up or cheat."
"Survival is everything," I offered.
"Yeah and how is my constant tracking of my boyfriend?"
"Oh so you do track him?"
"No Thalia I don't but you two seem to think I do."
"I know how to find him, Annabeth go jump into the ocean he'll come."
"No he won't he will think I'm just swimming."
"Not if we," I started.
"Throw you in," Thalia finished with a smile to match mine but as the Fates would have it Percy walked over just as we were about to pick Annabeth up.
"Put my girlfriend down," he said extremely calmly while holding his sword to my throat.
"Chill out fish-dude we weren't going to harm her."
"Don't you two hate each other?"
"They got over it Seaweed Brain."
"As stubborn as Thalia is that's surprising."
Then as Thalia looked at me we tossed Annabeth in the ocean and ran back for Zeus's cabin.
