Special thanks to DragoNik for some ideas for my story! Thanks so much! It really helped!
When I woke up, it was well past curfew. The thing I loved about my cabin was at night, the moon cast shadows against the walls that look like screaming people. Yeah, I know, dark, right? I love it.
I was messing with the shadows so they looked like they were screaming or being tortured. I was making a woman run from the manticore when someone spoke.
"Geez, evil much?" I whipped my head to see the beautiful and familiar face of Thalia Grace standing in the doorway, the night sky behind her. It made her look even more beautiful than before, if that's even possible. I smiled. She came in and closed the door.
"Well," I said dragging out the word. She just threw back her head and laughed and soon, I joined in. After excruciating pain in our guts, we fell down on the bunks. We sat up and her hand brushed over mine. Good thing it was dark because I was one hundred percent sure I was a deep shade of red.
After I stopped blushing, I turned on the lights. It can get pretty bright when you turn on all the lights. I sat back down next to Thalia and asked her a question I was wondering about.
"So, Thalia, why'd you come to my cabin at," I checked my watch. I didn't have a watch. "At sometime at night?" She arched an eyebrow at my sentence and shook her head.
"You're an idiot, Nico. And, I was coming to tell you that Annabeth said that Chiron told her to tell you that you need to practice more if Percy really does become Kronos." She explained.
"Huh? I lost you after 'Annabeth said'," I said and she shook her beautiful hair. She sighed.
"You need to practice more or you no beat Kronos." She said as if she was talking to a toddler, making exaggerated hand motions. I scoffed at her and she just snickered. I glared and she glared back, which caused us to explode with laughter. I fell off the bed which made Thalia start crying and then she hit her head on the top bunk which made me laugh harder so I was crying, too. Then some random camper yelled at us.
"Would you just shut up!" We laughed harder. Soon though, our laughs became cries of pain. Normally, this wouldn't have happened. I guess we were just really tired.
Finally, I managed to stop laughing. When I saw Thalia, wow, she looked amazing. She was laying on the floor, her hair spread out around her. And she was still laughing. I bent down and lifted her up so she was standing, which didn't work out well. She basically fell on me because she was so weak from laughing. I sat on my bed, still holding Thalia in my arms. She was still laughing a little so I laid back on my bed. Her head was on my chest and it felt so, so right. I closed my eyes, not wanting this moment to end.
I fell asleep.
I WOKE UP to the sunlight seeping in through the open door. I could've sworn Thalia shut the door when she came in...
"So, what happened last night, Nico?" Said Annabeth. I tried to get up, but then I remembered what happened the previous night. I slowly put my head back on the pillow so I didn't wake up Thalia who was sleeping under the covers with me, her head on my chest and my arm wrapped around her in a tight embrace. I smiled.
"Nico? What happened?" She asked again.
"Thalia came to my cabin because you told her that Chiron told you to tell me that I need to practice more to beat Percy if he's Kronos." I said. I was about to say more when Annabeth interrupted me.
"Nico, Chiron didn't say anything close to that. Actually, I didn't really get to speak to Thalia that much yesterday. So, I don't think that's the reason she came to see you." She said over her shoulder. "Oh, and it's time for breakfast."
I gently shook Thalia awake and told her that it was time for breakfast. We didn't change or else we would be late for breakfast.
Thalia and I walked out of the cabin together, ignoring the stares and wolf-whistles from the other campers.
AT BREAKFAST, I had eggs, pancakes, and bacon. Mmm, bacon. Anyway, I slowly ate my breakfast wondering the real reason Thalia came to my cabin. I was going to ask her on the way here, but I chickened out. I laughed at people in the feilds of punishment, and I chickened out. Geez, manly.
I silently wished it was because she just wanted to see me, but that's probably not right. Maybe, I would ask her later. It was probably something like, like, what else was there?
Either way, I had decided that last night was the best time I had ever had. All my times with Thalia alone were the best times I had ever had. I just wish she wasn't part of the Huntresses so we could be together. Well, then again, I don't know if she likes me the way I like her. I think she only thinks of me as a friend. I guess that's better than nothing.
I thought that was a good place to stop. And, I think that had a lot more Thalico than the other chapters. Anyway, I worked for two days on this! So please review! Thanks to the people who reviewed and "You're evil! Go to Tartarus!" *throws water ballon* to people who didn't review.
REVIEW!
To DragoNik: Was that a good 'Thank you'?
