Chapter 12

I chase a dream of being with you, and I will chase to the ends of the world because your in it.

July 25th 2000

(A/n: I feel sick for creating a really tradic past for Lindsay as I said before she is mostly OC including past.)

The hunters were shopping in down town New York City as Artemis was just seeing Zeus and Hermes today. Lindsay had pretty good taste in clothing, it was just that shopping was really her cup of tea. They went to a mall and Lindsay watched as the hunters spread out searching for anything that looked good. Lindsay decided to go to the mall arcade. It was a saturday and a lot of guys were thinking of making a pass at her. She settled at a rare sight a Mortal Kombat 4 Arcade game in the back of the Arcade. She was pretty intrested with the game since she saw the first one. She slipped in a quarter and began to play. She choose Scorpian, 1st off he was badass and she loved his coldness. A guy came over and slipped in a quarter and she gave him a dirty look. He selected Sub-Zero and she still choose Scorpian. Lets just say they had a great time toghether blowing all their loose change on the machine. Final tally 20-20, they even struck up a conversation while playing. His name was John, John Cilmore. He was 23 and was visting family during his summer away from Yale. She laughied a bit when he said that cause she was one of memebers of the first class to ever attend Yale. After a while of just standing nect to each other John finally decided to cut the silience. " Hey you want to grab something to eat?" asked John.

" Wait are asking me out on a date?" replied Lindsay making John blush a bit.

" Yeah would you care to?" he said.

" Sure why not." Lindsay anwsered. They started walking in the direction to the food court. She looked at the mall clock that said it was noon. Three hours left Lindsay said to herself. The hunters were suppose to meet back at the entrance they came from at three in the afternoon.

" So do you live around here?" John asked.

" No, but I often come vist family here though." Lindsay said, it wasnt a complete lie. She pulled out her Mp3 and began to listening to Your beautiful by James Blunt.

" What are you listening to beautiful." John said like a chessy chick flick.

" It's nothing special." Said Lindsay.

" Really are all your songs nothing special?" John asked making er blush in a little embarassment.

" Are you always that noisy?" She responded.

" Maybe." He said. " You know there seems to something special about you I just can't put my finger on it."

" You know that sounds chessy." Lindsay said.

" Oh yeah you remind me Aphrodite." John said so only she could hear.

" Uh thank you?" was all a she could say.

" No I mean really she came over to my mom's house once when my dad was visting." John said.

" Who's your dad?" Lindsay asked very scared of his anwser.

" I don't really know him but he keeps telling me to go to this camp call camp halfblood." John said.

" And you haven't gone?" Lindsay questioned.

" No I didn't want to leave my friends." John said. " And I think I was crazy to think Aphrodite came to my mothers house."

" Ummm can I show you something after we eat." Linsday said. John just nodded. They reached the food court.

Lindsay saw Taylor and kate from the hunt with shopping bags next to them. She went to Subways and John followed her. (A/n: I'll let you have it your way in choosing the sandwitch and whatever they put on/in it.) They sat next to Taylor and Kate. " So who are you?" Asked Kate who like Taylor was attracted to him for his good looks and nice built.

" I'm John you?" He replied.

" I'm Kate." Kate said.

" I'm Taylor." said Taylor. " How did you get her to go on a date?"

" Who?" Asked a confused John.

" Lindsay." Taylor said as if John was blind and couldn't see the elephant right in front of him.

" What she has ever gone out on a date?"John asked almost screaming at that surprising fact.

" Ummm I like to think of this more as getting to each other better." Lindsay said now blushing.

" Yeah right." Kate said as John and Lindsay took a bite out of their foot longs.

" So how did you two met?" asked Taylor.

" Arcade." Lindsay mumbled.

" Arcade!" Taylor and kate said in unisene laughing.

3:55pm that day Artemis was taking them to camp half-blood

You once in a while you feel great then the worse thing possible happens well here we go. Artemis was up a head, she was way up ahead. The ownly they could get John to go to camp was if Lindsay was taking him, yet another cliche moment in her life was born. She was held back because she was 'allowing' him to hold her hand. Lindsay usually didn't trail behind the others but today was. You know the smell of about thirty hunters and a son of Ares was quite the scent for monsters. Lindsay couldn't remeber what happened it was all a blurr. The next thing she knows is John spinning her around and embracing her as three arrows hit him in the back. You guys know the rest.

Present day Lindsay's room 2 hours after Percy left.

" So thats what happened eh." said Aphrodite.

" Yeah." replied a still crying Lindsay.

Percy's room

Percy sat on his bed looking out at the night sky through the open window in the room. He heard his door open and saw a worried looking Annabeth." You love her don't you?" asked Annabeth in the same dress she wore earlier.

" I don't know I loved you, but this time its...its..." Percy said not sure if he loves her.

" Do you ever wish of being with her or is it your just after her for her looks." Annabeth said in anger.

" What's wrong with you why can't you let the feelings for me go when you were the on ewho broke us up." said Percy in his defense.

" I didn't want to but I just felt my heart and mind being rippied part. I do know why." said Annabeth starting to cry.

" I'm sorry Annabeth." Percy said embracing her in a hug. Annabeth returned it with a kiss.

Camp Half-Blood

Damon sat outside the Aphrodite cabin tonight thinking of Taylor. She came strolling by with her sibblings laughied at him, but he didn't care it was what she thought of him that mattered. Damon got off the log hw was sitting on as the Aphrodite kids left their sibbling alone. " I want to say something to you, I love you." Damon said hugging her as she shed tears at that moment not knowing how to respond to that comment. He leaned his head down and kissed the top of her head. " I love and I will never give you up." he said again. That fight with his friend over must have made him tell her his true feelings for her.

Nico and Thalia on the path back to the guest Palace.

Nico and Thalia held each others hand with smiles on their faces. They gazed up at the star lite sky. Thalia looked down and into Nico's eyes. Like oppsite ends of a manget their lips met in a kiss that tasted forbidden. The night sky rain down shooting stars while they contunied the kiss. A gleaming light appeared in front of them and they heard the anger of the two worse people they wanted to see them. " Nico get away from her and I don't want to ever want you to be with her." order Hades.

" Thalia get way from him, he is like his father don't you dare trust him. I will make sure you will never see him." Zeus said as it started to rain, flashes of lighting was seen all around. The wind picked up and the two lovers gave their fathers the glare of disappointment and pure hate to them.
