I know what you people are thinking. You want me to be executed for not updating. Well, I apologize. It's just that I have a very taxing schedule. And the fact that I just took three standarized tests too many. And I'm failing in History. For that I was grounded for about a day.

Just for a warning, you should not take my friends and me bowling or give us ice-cream at eleven o' clock. Or makes us take part in a Just Dance 4 competition. While bowling I had a panic attack because they all suddenly hugged me. And truthfully, I have a fear of people.

I don't own the Hunger Games or Percy Jackson.

Chapter 2

Thalia's POV

"My name is Thalia Grace. I'm fifteen years old, and I've been that old since the day before I turned sixteen. My father is Zeus, the God of the Sky and Lightning and Storms etc., etc. My mother was an actress, but she got drunk a lot and was real irresponsible. And she kept begging my dad to take her to Mount Olympus, which is on top of the Empire State Building. She also wanted to be a goddess, blah, blah, blah. So my dad left her. Then he came back when I was seven. But he was in his Roman form, which made him Jupiter, but he didn't tell my mom that. My brother Jason was born soon after and my mom started being clingy again etcetera, etcetera. My dad left."

I was interrupted by the girl.

"What do you mean he left? He left you guys again?" I nodded. "That's terrible."

"So I was nine years old and my brother was two. My mom took us on a vacation to a place called the Wolf House. Then she said that my brother was gone, that Hera had taken him. I got mad that she had let Jason be taken or lost or whatever. When we got home, I ran away."

The girl interrupted me again.

"You just left your mother? Why would you just leave her like that?"

"I didn't trust her with Jason. He was gone, so I left."

"That's still terrible."

I shrugged then continued with my story.

"I met Luke," I only managed to say his name. "I was with him for weeks, and we met Annabeth. Later, Grover found us and took us to Camp Half-Blood. But a lot of monsters were attracted to me because my father was Zeus. They attacked us. And we were so close. I had Grover take Luke and Annabeth through the border while I fought them. I would've died if my father hadn't turned me into a tree."

"What happened then?" The girl reminded me a bit of Annabeth. She was curious and clearly smart.

"Six years later Luke poisoned the tree that was me. My cousin Percy and Annabeth got the Golden Fleece from the Sea of Monsters, which is in the Bermuda Triangle and it healed me and turned me back into a human. I should have been eighteen but I aged slower because I was a tree. I was fourteen at the time. Then the next year, Lady Artemis was taken hostage by the Titans as was Annabeth. We rescued them the day before the summer solstice and my birthday. I became one of Lady Artemis's Hunters to avoid being the cause for a war that would start when I turn sixteen. I haven't aged since then. Then next year, Percy turned sixteen so the war started then. He bathed in the River Styx and took on the Achilles Curse. He, Annabeth, and I went up to Mount Olympus to fight Kronos who was kind of reincarnated into Luke's body. My legs were crushed by a giant statue of Hera so Percy and Annabeth went on without me. Luke ended up killing himself which stopped Kronos from coming to full power."

"Is that all?" The girl sounded disappointed.

"Not quite."

The woman had stayed quiet the entire time. I looked at her and she nodded for me to continue.

"The December after the war, Percy went missing and Annabeth found Jason, Leo, and Piper. I didn't know it at the time. Jason, Leo, and Piper went on a quest to save Hera and they ran into me and the Hunters. That's pretty much it. Well, and the fact that they, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, and Nico won the war against the Giants and Gaea."

The girl looked at me like she had just read the best book series in the world. If my life was a book series, five years of it would be, "I was sitting on Half-Blood Hill, roots in the ground. I protected the camp. I am a magical tree that is actually a human that was turned into a tree because she was dying."

That would be boring. People would be more likely to write about Percy. He was never turned into a tree.

"I'm Prim," the girl said finally. "Katniss is my sister. This is my mother." I nodded. "You're in District 13 right now. Do you really not know who Katniss is?"

"Why is everyone surprised by that?"

"She won the Hunger Games with Peeta and was put into the Quarter Quell, with Peeta." Her voice dropped like she wasn't supposed to say what she was telling me. "They're supposed to get married, but they aren't going to."

Prim's mother shook her head. She almost looked amused by Prim's behavior.

"Where's New York?" She asked me.

"New York City is in the state of New York which is in the country of the United States of America which is in the continent of North America."

"North America?"

"Yep."

"All that's left of North America is Panem."

"What's that?"

"The country you're in right now." I looked at her like she was insane. I was in Detroit not too long ago, destroying the last of Monocle Motors. I was with the Hunters of course.

There was no such thing as Panem then. Gods, I hope this is a dream. Yes, that's all it is. There were some Cyclopes left and they knocked me unconscious. Phoebe has had the Hunters carry me to our campsite and I'm recovering right now. This is all a dream.

"Do you think it's some sort of time portal that messed everything up?" Prim asked us.

If that was true, maybe there's no such thing as North America because I was gone! What if there was some sort of monster uprising and the gods, Romans, Greeks, and Amazons were overpowered or something. No! That wouldn't happen just because I wasn't there.

"Are you okay?" The woman asked me.

"Yeah, the room's just getting to me. How long are they going to keep me in solitary confinement?"

"You're not being put in solitary confinement. They do this with everyone. It was quite busy when they found everyone. Simple questions. Who you are and stuff like that. They'll assign you a room in no time."

"How long is no time?"

"They're figuring it out right now." I nodded and smiled to give the impression that I wasn't panicked. "We'll take you to dinner."

The thought of eating actually sounded really good. After all, I haven't eaten anything decent in forever. Two weeks maybe. I'm not exactly sure. But when we got there and I got the food, I felt like I was about to puke. It was dreadful. Both the feeling and the food.

That girl Prim noticed the disgusted look on my face. She walked over to me asked if I wanted to skip dinner. I couldn't answer; the food was that bad. And I've lived with twelve year olds cooking.

She helped me figure out where I was supposed to be staying.

"You'll have to wear the District uniform you know."

"Can I at least keep my clothes in a drawer or closet or something?" She nodded. "Well, what's this uniform look like?" She looked at what she was wearing.

If she was wearing something else, she would look quite nice. But this uniform didn't seem to flatter her at all. Probably not me either. And something tells me that the people in charge here won't be pleased if I try to change it.

"At least you're not from the Capitol. This would be dreadful for you if you were."

What does she mean? The terrible looking uniform is dreadful! Why the Hades would I want to wear that thing?! It's uglier than Medusa! I know what Medusa's face looks like. It's on my shield, at least an imprint of it is.

I shrugged, just to give the impression that I didn't care.

With that, she left me standing in this blank room with a bed.
