This chapter is going to be more ThaliaxLuke. Percy's problems are out of the way (almost all of them) but what 'bout Luke and Thalia's relationship? Here it goes! Tiny surprise at the end that doesn't have to do with the plot of the story!

X-X-X-X-X

"…food?" I asked.

I couldn't remember the last time I stuck a French fry in my mouth.

"…yes. It stops your stomach from hurting," Thalia rolled her eyes.

"And your dad got you a blue chicken patty!" Annabeth smiled. Then she leaned over to me and said, "How did THAT happen? Food coloring?"

I looked at her.

"I have no idea!" I said, thinking about it.

Thalia stood up suddenly, her face sort of pale. "Erm…I have to go you guys. I'll be back soon though,"

"Uh-huh," Grover dunked some ketchup on his foil, licking his lips greedily.

Thalia's Point of View:

I ran quickly to Lord Poseidon, gasping for breath once I reached him.

"Are you ready Thalia?" he asked me, smiling.

"Yes," I gasped for air.

"Don't do what I did," he said quietly. "Don't let him go,"

A flash of blue (and bubbles! I love bubbles, but don't let anyone know) , and I was in the cellar. This was the torture place for the dead. Those who couldn't die again…like Luke.

"Y-you!" he croaked. My heart twisted around in my chest, and it felt as if thorns prodded it. I turned. He was dripping from Ichor, the blood of the gods.

"Luke!" I ran over and hugged his neck. He winced.

"What are you doing here, Thalia?" his voice was feeble, barely audible. He'd been through a lot of tortures, I could tell.

"Luke, you've got to change!" I pleaded.

"I'm not changing!" Luke roared.

"Please! You'll be here for eternity!" I shook his shoulders. He winced. "Sorry,"

"Thalia…just go. You don't ever have to see me again. I killed Jackson, didn't I? Why do you want to be around a murder?"

"He's alive. And…Luke, I won't let you go," I bit my lip, remembering Poseidon's warning.

"…don't give me that crap," he snarled, levitating his head.

"Listen, if it was crap, I wouldn't be here!" I knelt down at his feet. He shut his eyes, a few tears spilling. One fell on my hand, dripping to the floor. I watched it.

"Go, Thalia. I don't give a care why you're here! Everything hates me…you, dad,"-

I didn't let him finish. With fury in my eyes, I punched his gut. Luke spilled some more Ichor from his mouth.

"SHUT UP JUST FOR ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE!" I screamed at him. Luke shrunk back.

Sparkling angel, I believe

You are my savior in my time of need…

"STOP ACTING ALL DEPRESSED YOU SON OF A –can't say that word here. Ayaka-Verop-chan will be nice and let you all imagine it. XDDD-!!! YOU'RE BETTER THEN THAT! ALL THE TIMES YOU SURVIVED IN YOUR GOD FORSAKEN QUEST FOR KRONOS WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF YOUR FATHER!" I grabbed the cuff of his already worn shirt. "STOP. IT. I don't want to hear 'I can't live anymore' or 'I'm too weak'…JUST STOP IT!"

Luke was hardly breathing, listening to me. I stared at him with fury.

Blinded by faith, couldn't hear,

All the whispers, their warnings so clear,

"I…I thought I could depend on you! I thought you were strong!" I bellowed again. I was on a rampage. (Internal whooping here)

"…no you can't," he replied bitterly. "No one can,"

"SHUT UP!" I hit the wall next to his face. A piece of rock cracked off.

Luke shook his head, his hands straining against the chains that held him back.

"…I really couldn't care less what happens to you right now," I said in a whisper. "Because the LukeIknew, would have never backed down…and he would've done the right thing. I don't know you anymore,"

I prepared myself to walk out of the Underworld.

"Thalia, wait!"

I turned. His lips quivered and tears filled his eyes.

"No. I'm done with waiting," I shook my head and turned back again. "I'll wait for time and fate…but not for you,"

I See The Angels
I'll Lead Them To Your Door
There Is No Escape Now
Now Mercy No More

I saw a flash of white before I left. And a sandal. Hermes. Luke's face turned white. But it was definitely time. Time for them to talk…or time for him, like my dad had ordered, to be thrown into the darkest pit of Tartarus. And even then, I would not stand up for him unless he awoke from his spell of disloyalty.

No Remorse Cause I Still Remember
The Smile When You Tore Me Apart

Now you will know what will happen to Luke if he doesn't reconcile with the gods. TARTARUS! I just love writing angst. But its so awesome, because Thalia's a punk, and yet she's optimistic.

Oh by the way! THE SONG IS ANGELS BY WITHIN TEMPTATION. HERE ARE THE FULL LYRICS. The song is really sad, but the music vid is the CUTEST.  not as in happy cute as in sad, angsty, cute. You should watch it. Some frightening images with glowy eyes, but that's about it. Once again…you should watch it.

Sparkling Angel
I Believe
You Are My Saviour
In My Time Of Need

Blinded By Faith
I Couldn't Hear
All The Whispers
They're Warning So Clear

I See The Angels
I'll Lead Them To Your Door
There Is No Escape Now
Now Mercy No More

No Remorse Cause I Still Remember
The Smile When You Tore Me Apart

Chorus
You Took My Heart
Deceived Me Right From The Start
You Showed Me Dreams
I Wished They'd Turn In To Real
You Broke A Promise
And Made Me Realize
It Was All Just A Lie

Sparkling Angel
Couldn't See
Your Dark Intensions
Your Feelings For Me

Fallen Angel
Tell Me Why
What Is The Reason?
The Thorn In Your Eye

I See The Angels
I'll Lead Them To Your Door
There Is No Escape Now
No Mercy No More

No Remorse Cause I Still Remember
The Smile When You Tore Me Apart

Chorus

Could Have Been Forever
Now We Have Reached The End

This World May Have Failed You
It Doesn't Give The Reason Why
You Could Have Chosen
A Different Path Of Life

Chorus
The Smile When You Tore Me Apart
You Took My Heart
Deceived Me Right From The Start
You Showed Me Dreams
I Wished They'd Turn In To Real
You Broke A Promise
And Made Me Realize
It Was All Just A Lie

Could Have Been Forever
Now We Have Reached The End
