10 year time skip

Thalia Pov

Ten years ago I saw Percy Jackson and Nico. Ten years ago was the first time I lied to my mistress. Today she confronted me about it. I am called into her tent and told to sit down.

"Thalia why are you holding back on information about your trip to Alaska" Artemis says slyly

"What do you mean?" I ask weakly

"I know you better than anyone Thalia and I can tell every time I bring up Colette's past I see you wince" Artemis says acting like a detective

"There are some things I am not allowed to tell you Milady as much as I wish to" I say defeated

Artemis nods her head knowing that she couldn't get answers out of me.

"Stay safe you are my lieutenant and I will always be here" She says walking out of the room

I feel bad for not telling her but I keep my promises. If only I knew why they went into hiding.

I head out of the tent to get ready for the games. Well it's supposed to be a hunt, but we all have a competition to see who gets the most kills.

"You have no chance Thalia" the now 13 year old Colette says

"You wish" I say proud of my 15 win streak

As soon as the horn sounds we all sprint in different directions. I see a deer in the distance and pull back the string on my personal bow. I take a breath and slowly turn the bow at the face. The competition is for quality and quantity.

I let the arrow fly feeling a breeze on my face. I see it strike the deer in the eye. I quickly run and see a bear. I aim for the head and before I shoot I see a flash of silver. The bear falls with a thud. I get a bit angry and go off to continue. I end up getting 6 kills.

"Beat that Colette" I say triumphantly

She shows us her seven kills all in the eye. I only managed 6 kills with most in the chest.

"Darn you" I growl at Colette

I try to act angry but in my heart I feel happy for her. She walks over and gives me a smile and puppy dog eyes.

"Why is killing giants easier than ignoring your eyes." I say with a hug

"Cause I'm so cute" she says imitating my voice

"I don't sound like that" I say mock offended

"Well..." Most of the hunters go

I give them my death glare and they all shut up. Artemis walks over and says the loser of our competition has to cook.

"What competition" Colette says trying to be discreet

"You really think you can hide or lie from me" Artemis says with a glance at me

"Fine I'll cook" Kate says a bit grumpy

"I'll help" Colette says

After Colette got over her past she is a really nice person. She will help anyone she can for anything. Apparently she is also a good cook because the dinner she made was mouth watering.

"Colette you are the best cook ever" I tell her

Tons of "yeah" and "true" were yelled all around

I take a look at a slightly blushing Colette. She may be a great cook and great shot but one thing she can never drop is the hesitation. Even in battle she has that second of hesitation she can't let go of. Even every time we call her name she flinches.

"Campfire time girls" Artemis yells

We all head by the campfire in different fashion. Some jogged but most walked.

"Which story should I say" Artemis says

"You told all of them other than his" I tell her

"You mean him but we all know it" Artemis says

"Not Colette" I tell her

"What story" Colette says excited

"The story of the a possibly living hero. A hero that has surpassed all behind him. One who defied all odds. The greatest hero of our time. Sadly not a woman but I guess he's an okay guy." Artemis says making Colette's eyes the size of dinner plates.

We start telling all of his tales starting with the lightning bolt to holding the sky to Kronos. Her expression went from shock to the point we had to check to see if she was alive. I was reliving the quests that I had to go on during the giant war with him. I actually felt like rolling over laughing as soon she heard he defeated Gaea. I still remember that day as if it were yesterday.

Flashback

The hunters were managing the overfire while the campers charged. I see Percy in the distance fighting Gaea. I head closer to the situation and shoot a couple before running from the earthborn. As soon I see Percy again he is barely able to stand and is limping. I want to try to help him but the earthborn are hard to kill. You can only kill them by finding their weak spot that separate them from immortals.

I then notice one of them was bending his leg more than I typically saw one of them and stabbed it in the leg hoping to hit the right spot. With that he returned to a pile of dirt. I turn to see Percy one last time before he pulls of a risky move that blew my mind. He summoned all the water in the earth and sky and Gaea and made a massive explosion to make a straight hole to tartarus. With that Percy falls over and has trouble breathing. Turns out doing that broke most his bones and he was in a full body cast the entire week. He was submerged in water 24/7 and was given the max nectar and ambrosia every day. Once he healed him, Annabeth, and I all went on a quest to kill any survivors who supported Gaea.

Flashback Over

Nico Pov

I look back to the rose I got. Even though the letter with it made no sense I have a feeling I can't give it to her yet. I plan a way to get to see if Calypso is any way interested in me. When you are miles away from civilization and have a stable house you get bored. So I could ask Calypso to hunt with me since our food supply is low.

"Hey Calypso wanna hunt with me" I say acting casual

"Sure" she says rather quickly

I get my sword and spear ready while Calypso get her whip and arrows.

I am about to tell Percy that we are going but I see Annabeth's not in her room and Percy's door locked.

As I head back I thought I was hearing things.

Calypso and I head out to kill some animals for dinner since the stores were starting to get suspicious of the thefts and Calypso had a limit on her powers. Unlike Percy's powers or mine she only has a blessing so her powers have a longer cooldown period. After making the house her powers were useless for a month and still they were weak for another week.

Hunting isn't as exciting on TV though were you always find an animal every few seconds on tv we find one every few hours out here in Alaska. We had to be quiet the entire time so I really didn't talk to her. The occasional "good shot" or "so close" was the only thing that was remotely near a conversation. Afterwards we walk into the kitchen we see Percy and Annabeth talking about what's going to be for dinner.

"Hello, we brought some food" I say the second part fast cause Percy practically pounces on me

"Where?" He asks desperately

"We should have more food why are you freaking out so badly?" I ask him curiously

"Annabeth was about to make me have spinach. Contrary to Popeye it doesn't give you giant muscles or taste good." Percy says with a gagging motion

"It's not that bad" Annabeth says holding a spoon with some light green stuff

"Here I'll try some" Calypso tells Annabeth

As soon as she has a bite she runs for the trash and throws up.

"That was great cooking Annabeth" Calypso says trying to act like it was all good

"Is it that bad?" Annabeth asks sadly

"We just don't like spinach you're a great cook" Percy immediately says trying to sooth Annabeth

We then go on to cook our hunted animals which is tastier than I would like to admit.

"Calypso you are the best cook ever" I say raising my fork

"I agree" Percy yells while raising half the ocean

"I support that statement" Annabeth tells her

"I'm not that great.." Calypso starts to say

"You are the best cook and you will accept the title okay or we will make Percy cook" I cut her off

"No" we say in unison to a Percy who was starting to pout

I am stilled horrified by the blue thing he made. IT FREAKING MOVED (Shout out to whoever figures out where this is from).

I start to eat and finally notice the awkward silence we fell into.

"So ummmm….. You guys get anything done today" I ask hoping to end the silence

"No" Percy says while eating some more food

"How about you Annabeth?" I ask her now

"Nope" Annabeth replies

We fall back into an awkward silence that lasted the entire meal.

I head back to my room bored by our "great" discussion. I just lay on my bed for who knows how long. Suddenly I hear the doorknob turn and the door screech open. I quickly realized that I never moved the vase that held the rose and had Calypso's picture. I try to get up and move it but I see who walked in.

She looked like she was about to say something but her eyes were the size of dinner plates when she saw the vase.

I am so screwed
