A/n~ Guys, I'm sooooo sorry D: I've been super depressed and unmotivated. I haven't really wanted to work on this story because I feel like people just don't enjoy it much anymore. Plus a lot of personal life drama has taken place. I mean, I know I have a few loyal followers (including candyland7, Lunarstar042713, and Erik Karisawa's New Sidekick. Love you guys.), but I still feel like at first this was doing so great but now people just don't... like it. It's a hard thing for an author to go through. Maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully I'm wrong. But, at this moment, I feel like this has a chance. So here I go...

Chapter Eight- A Little Chat.

Percy's POV-

Standing there, looking into the angry eyes of Zeus, I have never been so scared. But, weirdly enough, I also felt this strange surge of anger rushing through me. I clench my fists and glare at the god.

"Come in," I say through gritted teeth.

"I see you're very much the same," he says with a challenging smirk. He's trying to make me lose control, for me to act without thinking.

I point a finger at him, "Look, just tell me why you're here."

"I'm here, Mr. Jackson, because of my daughter," he says with a slight nod. "Thalia," he adds, as if I didn't know.

This sort of takes me by surprise, even though that would be the most predictable reason as to why he would visit me in person. "What about her?"

He sighs as he sits on a chair, the mean guy put away, a more tired and sad one replacing him. "Percy, you and Thalia cannot be together because-"

I intetupt him, "Well, you don't have to worry about that." I say, barely keeping the bitter and sadness from my voice. "Not after this evening when she made it pretty clear that she would never like me that way."

He laughs. "You think she did that because she doesn't like you?" He laughs again.

"What?" I ask, confusion clear in my voice.

"Nephew, she did that because she loves you. She's trying to protect you because she knows what could- and would- happen to you both if you became a couple."

I am shocked by him saying that Thalia loves me and a little peeved that he called me "nephew". "And what would happen?" I ask, my voice shaking.

His eyes settle on my own. His are full of worry, stress, and sadness. "you would be chased, seperated, and perhaps killed."

As I open my mouth to as why Thalia and I being a couple would cause such a ruckess, when a knock on the cabin door echoes. Zeus disappears without another word and I turn to answer the door.

Grover pulls me out of the cabin and tugs me along behind him. "What're you doing?" I ask as we march towards the woods.

"There's something you need to hear," he replies, worry clear in his voice.

As we enter the woods, I wonder where Grover is taking me, what he wants me to listen to. When I notice he's stepping lightly, trying not to make any noise, I follow suit.

We finally reach an opening, hiding behind a couple bushes. As I peer over the leaves, I see Thalia, Artemis, Aphordite, and Juniper. It's pretty clear that the Twp goddesses are arguing over something important. I listen closely.

"I cannot believe you would come to this poor girl after such a horrible moment!" Aphordite cries, glaring at Artemis.

"It is the only way to keep her safe!" The other goddess counters.

As if she's had enough, Thalia steps between the arguing goddesses, throwing her hands up, "Stop! You guys are giving me a headache!" She sighs and turns to Artemis, "So... the only two options are to join the hunters or face an unknown doom?"

"Yes." The huntress replies fiercely.

"Would joining also protect Percy?" A nod is her answer. "Fine. I'll join."

Before I can stop myself, I run out into the clearing. "No! You can't!"

Aphordite claps her hands and giggles, Juniper is clearly shocked, Thalia just stares at me sadly, and Artemis glares at me life she wants to turn me into a rabbit and hunt me down.

Oh crud.

A/N- so, lately, I've been getting into different bands and I want to share some of their amazing music with you. On my bio, I'm going to have a playlist with some of my favorite songs. That's going up soon. Also, please check out my friend's YouTube. She's super funny; ItsPuffyTime. Also, these next few weeks I'm going to be very busy so I won't be able to write much. Next chapter, in the bottom A/N, I'm going to do a QnA, so ask me questions and I'll answer them all then.

Please review. It helps me out so much.

Much love,

Dino
