You better leave. Something very awkward is about to happen.
"To the big house!" I said after I killed a Laistrygonian and we all ran for it.
"Shouldn't one of us warn the campers? That Laistrygonian talked to you like you were another Laistrygonian." Ariadne had a good point, there must be others.
"Since you thought of it, do you want to sound the dinner horn?" I asked her, but she didn't answer and took off. "I'll take that as a yes." Then I looked at Thalia, which was kind of hard because we were running. "Any ideas?"
She tried to look at me, but had to keep looking forward so she wouldn't hit some thing. But she said, "Not really. You?"
"No."
When we got to the big house the door was wide open. But we kept running for the basement. Once we got to the cellar I noticed it was locked and we slowed down.
"Hold on while I pick it." She said and knelt at the door.
I held the spear up high and said, "No time." And she fell backwards after looking up at me. Along with me hitting the lock hard and it also busted off. "Wow. That actually worked." I said and we went into the basement. Since we didn't see them at first, I started to stab the boxes hoping that I would hear a yelp.
When Thalia saw what I was doing she yelled, "Stop you're stabbing to hard!" She picked up a near by sword saying, "Do it more like this." And she stabbed a near by box.
"Ow!" The box said loudly.
It caught Thalia off guard so badly I had to grab her sword out of her hands so she wouldn't stab it again. "Thalia I think that's them, so I wouldn't stab it anymore." And she opened the box for us to see Travis with a cut on his arm and Chiron in his wheelchair. Both of which had their hands tied at the moment (2 A/N: 1.) it was a really big box and 2.) Bad joke I know). I didn't trust Thalia to cut them out of it, so I un-tied them.
"We need to warn the other campers." Chiron said already going to the dinning pavilion.
"We already did." I said a little annoyed at him for not thinking that we could think for ourselves.
He looked at me raising an eyebrow, "We who?"
"We being Thalia, Ariadne, and me." I said getting a little madder.
"Well ther-" I cut him off. And I told him all of what happened since dinner. "I see…well you, and everyone else, need to get some rest. I will send some satyrs and Ares children to look for the other Laistrygonians."
When me and Thalia got out of the big house she said, "Will you walk me to my cabin?" and we laughed, but I did anyway. "Thanks." She said after we got to Zeus cabin #1. For the first time I noticed it fully. It was a marble building that kind of looked like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The big bronze double doors are polished in such a way to provide a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across.
"Cool cabin. For what?" I said starting two conversations. (A/N: Oh ADHD I love you so…Oh you're still reading…awkward)
"I know. For everything today." She said looking at her cabin. For some weird reason I could tell she was getting hot.
"You should get some rest, you're almost getting a fever." I said and she turned around. And I knew why she was getting hot, she was blushing.
"How did you know that?" she asked acknowledging I saw her face, and looked away.
I was getting frustrated now, "Why do you keep doing that?" She looked back at me, "It's like every time you and me are alone you start to blush. Why?" I said.
Then she did something I never expected, she kissed me. In that moment my eyes widened as much as they could, my shoulders raised, I couldn't feel anything besides myself, and I straightened my entire body. I didn't know what to do. It was my first kiss and with someone two years older then me. When she pulled away all I could say was, "You make things so confusing." And we smiled.
"Goodnight." She said after a while.
"Goodnight." I said back. She walked into her cabin and I went to mine.
Me: *whistles while staring at James mockingly* Howwasit?
James: Shut up. The readers don't know yet. *which just gave me an even bigger smile*
Thalia: I actually liked it in the moment. *which almost made me and James explode with laughter*
Me: Courseyoudid
