Annabeth woke up to find Thalia's hand stretched across her face, and her arm thrown over her stomach.

Thalia's time at Camp was limited, she would need to go back to the Hunters tonight

That's why she insisted on Annabeth spending the night in the Zeus Cabin.

Annabeth smiled sadly, thinking about how much she would miss Thalia when she was gone. She wouldn't see her for another 2 or 3 years once she left.

She gently shook Thalia, and said

"C'mon Thals, we need to pack up your stuff, your leaving tonight"

Thalia sat up, and hugged Annabeth tight.

" I DON'T WANNA LEAVE!" , she cried.

Against their will, they both started to feel burning hot tears escape from their eyes.

Annabeth patted Thalia's back

" I don't want you to leave either, Thalia, but you've got to get back to the Hunters.

Thalia pulled back to look at her.

"Annabeth", she said slowly, " What if I quit the Hunters?"

''WHAT?" Annabeth exploded' That's crazy, Thalia. Like you said on Olympus the night you joined, the Hunters are your home.

"I know what I said….. but I'm starting to doubt it. I mean, I love Artimes, but she's just my leader. You're my best friend. I miss you way too much."

"I'm honored that you would do that for me, but the Hunters need you Thalia, and you need them. The Hunters gives a great future, and … I'm not worth giving all that up for, Thals."

" Yes you are", Thalia whispered, and hugged her again. When she reales her, she looked at the floor.

"Andd….. I don't wanna be sworn of men anymore", Thalia mumbled.

Annabeth sighed.

"Look Thalia, it's your decision. Just give it some thought before you act, ok?''

She patted Thalia's shoulder, and left to go to the Athena cabin, leaving Thalia confused as ever.

*********************Percy's POV*****************************

I sighed, laying on my bed. I was taking Annabeth to Olive Garden in 5 minutes, and I only had around 20 dollars. I had to cancel, no way I could afford it. Chirion came in. He laid a 50 dollar bill on my chest and exited without saying a word.

Well, that was weird and had perfect timing.

I headed over to the Athena cabin.

Malcolm answered the door.

"Hi, I have a date with Annabeth?"

"Oh, umm sure. Hold on, our lovely cousins in the Aphrodite cabin are forcing some makeup onto her ", he said, grinning at me.

I smiled and stuffed my hands in my pockets.

Annabeth stepped out, looking beautiful as always. I held out my hand and she took it. I could tell she had been crying though. Probaly because of Thalia leaving. I'd ask her when she was in a better mood. "Let's go."
