Chapter 7: Worthless Anger

Okay, not the best chapter ever, I'm sorry.

I'll try to make it up in the next chapters.

Oh yeah! I just realized I'd forgotten the Disclaimer thing-a-mobber in the past few chapters.

Percy Jackson belongs to Rick Riordan…not me…I think u guys know that, but…I don't know...I would get arrested or something if I didn't put a disclaimer thingy up?

Thalia POV

"Please assemble a group of demigods, hunters," Chiron said, "Please use the next two days wisely to create a plan."

With my new friend (which I had met literally two minutes ago) Dasan the satyr, I strolled over to Jade and Alex Wong.

"You guys on my team?" I asked.

"For sure," Jade answered.

"'Course, sista," her brother, Alex replied.

I glanced over at Percy. As expected, he had Annabeth and Tyson on his team. I had made sure that I had the same amount of team members that he did, so he wouldn't complain when I won our competition.

"Queena, who's on your team?" Chiron asked.

I turned to see the centaur talking to Queena.

"Besides…this," Queena scoffed, gesturing at the satyr on her team, "Nobody. I can handle the monster myself."

How brainless is this girl? Does she really believe she would be able to destroy the monster if all she had was the saytr on her team? She doesn't even remember his name! Let alone the monster's name! Her stupidity wasn't going to get her anywhere.

"You are underestimating the monster," Chiron argued, "This monster has the power to challenge an Olympian."

"You seem to have forgotten that I am the daughter of the Lord of Olympians, but fine. I'll get someone else on my team."

She examined the campers like she was surrounded by rats.

"Nicholas!" she barked, "Come here!"

Nicholas Eston, son of Poseidon, walked reluctantly over to where Queena was standing.

"What do you want?" he asked warily.

"You're on my team. The plan is we follow the satyr's nose and I destroy the monster, okay? Okay."

"Whoa! Wait a sec!" Nicholas said, "I don't want to go and destroy a monster, why do I have to be on your team?"

"'Cause I feel like it."

I bit my lip, trying my best not to scream at her.

"Chiron?" Hector called, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

While Hector and Chiron talked, I continued listening to Queena's and Nicholas' conversation.

"Sorry, Queena, but I don't want to go hunting some random monster. Besides, I've only been at camp for five months!"

"Chiron said you had to be on my team," Queena retorted, "Satisfied?"

"Liar!" I snapped, no able to hold myself back anymore.

"Here they go again," Jade and Alex muttered.

"Chiron didn't command you to add anybody. You just want to torture Nicholas by putting him on your team," I said.

"Oh yeah?" she turning towards, "And who mentioned anything about torture?"

"Obviously it'd be torture. Nobody wants to be on your team 'cause you have no friends."

She flipped back her hair like she was on a drama TV show. Like anybody would add that ugly demon to their television show.

"What did you saw, Thalia?"

"Maybe you're hard of hearing. I said that you-have-no-"

"SHUT UP, PINECONE FACE!" Queena exploded. This girl seriously needed anger management.

"I won't! So deal with it!"

A couple of campers started looking our way.

"Whether you like it or not," I continued, "I'm right. You don't have any friends. Like seriously, nobody likes you-at all."

Queena yelled and held up her hand. Thunder boomed overhead and I knew what was coming. Instinctively, I held up my spear to absorb the lightning. Electricity arced around the weapon as my spear took in the lightning. Electricity arced around the weapon as I swung is forward. A bolt of golden lightning blasted towards Queena. She waved her hand and redirected the bolt. The lightning changed direction and hit the ground with an explosion.

"Lightning is supposed to be fast, dear sister," Queena sneered, "You're sullying our father's reputation."

"You want to see fast?" I growled. I held up my spear, willing my energy into it, "I'll show you fast."

No matter how reckless my actions were, I was ready to show her a piece of my mind.

"Stop!" a voice shouted.

A girl with silver-green eyes ran between Queena and me. I hadn't seen her at camp before.

"Someone could get hurt," she gasped, "Please stop."

I lowered my spear, deciding to leave the fight. The girl's plead reminded me of Artemis' words, An unnecessary fight is as bad as a loss. Apparently, Queena had different ideas.

"Stay out of this, new girl," Queena ordered, "This isn't your fight."

Queena pointed at the sky and I had realized what she was dong seconds too late.

"Move!" I yelled, but my warning was in vain. Queena's lightning bolt shot down and the girl disappeared in the explosive impact of lightning and earth. Thick smoke swirled around the electric collision.

"What the heck!" Percy yelled, "Why in the world did you do that?"

"You killed her!" Annabeth screamed.
