Thalia's POV
When I walked into Percy's closet with Nico, my heart was beating so fast I could feel it beating out of my chest. Luckily, Nico didn't notice. The moment the closet door closed, Nico said this:
"You know, we don't have to do this. We could just pretend it happened, and then go on with our lives like normal, right?"
Then I said, "But Nico, I... I do have feelings for you. But I can't betray the Hunters."
Then Nico replied, "I have feelings for you too, but I don't want you to leave the Hunters because of me. I don't want that kind of pressure on you. I care about you too much to let you have that kind of burden."
I was beyond shocked. He went beyond my expectations. He didn't want me to leave the Hunters to put me through that? I felt this was a confirmation for my feelings. Sorry Artemis, but I can't serve you anymore, I thought. I want someone who truly cared for me, who loved me as I am.
"I, Thalia Grace, renounce my vows as being a Hunter of Artemis."
I instantly felt the power leave my body. I staggered a bit, but Nico steadied me.
"Nico, I have realized that you are worth leaving the Hunters."
Nico's expression was priceless. He then said, "Then, Thalia Grace, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, Nico, I would love to be." I then kissed his lips, and I have to admit it was the best kiss I've had since.
Then everyone outside listening in on our conversation fell through the door, and I instantly felt angry.
"You guys..." I said, slowly. "DO YOU GUYS HAVE A SENSE OF PRIVACY?"
Everyone backed away to get away from me. I was about to call a lightning bolt to hit Percy (Percy: Why me? Thalia: Because I just felt that you should be hit first. Annabeth: She's right, you know. Percy: Hey, no fair!) when Nico stopped me.
"Come on Thalia, leave them be. We'll have them do something embarrassing later."
Now, it was Nico's turn...
Yes, I got some rant space! Remember to review!
