I do not own Percy Jackson
:-:-:-:
Thalia heard a strange buzzing sound. It wasnt strange for her really. Over the years she has heard sounds like that. She figured it was people talking but she never really cared. She never could understand them.
But this buzzing was different. It was getting louder and clearer, and soon she could make out some words. "She needs ambrosia and nectar." She didn't hear anything for a moment.
"Come on! Whats wrong with you people? Lets get her to the Big House."
Thalia tried to breath properly. It was shaky, and she ended up coughing a little instead. She opened her eyes and looked around for a moment, then looked up at a green-eyed boy. "Who-"
"I'm Percy." He said. "You're safe now."
"Strangest dream …"
"It's okay."
"Dying."
"No," He assured her. "You're okay. What's your name?"
The look in his eyes told her he ready knew who she was. Her intense blue eyes stared into his green eyes.
"I am Thalia," she said. "Daughter of Zeus."

Thalia soon passed out and later woke up inside a building. She looked around and noticed the amount of beds and figured she was in an infirmary. She looked beside her on the nightstand and saw a cup of nectar and a small plate of ambrosia.
"You should have some."
The demigoddess jumped. She didn't notice someone walk in. Thalia looked at the newcomers and saw Annabeth, but much older, and that kid Percy. "Whats going on? Why are you, like, five years older? Who is he?" She pointed to Percy.
Annabeth looked at her with pity. She hated that look. "His name is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. Thalia, you've been a tree for almost six years. Percy and I... We went on a quest to get the Golden Fleece to save your tree from dying and when we put it on it you came out a day later."
Thalia's eyes widened. Suddenly a sharp pain went through her head. She winced and rubbed her temples with her fingertips. "Wait I'm confused. Who poisoned my tree? I know someone did, just not who did it. And wait," she looked around. "Where's Luke?"
Annabeth looked on the verge to tears. She didnt know why. It was probably just some random kid from the other side.
Percy cleared his throat. "Umm, Thalia? The person who poisoned your tree was Luke."
The daughter of Zeus looked at him in shock. Then stiffed a laugh. "You're joking right? Luke wouldn't hurt me!"
She stopped when she saw the looks on the other two's faces.
"No... No no no no!" She buried her face in her hands. She couldn't believe this. She started tearing up, and suddenly looked up and glared at the son of Poseidon. "You're lying! Luke wouldn't do that to me!"
Percy looked taken back. "I'm sorry Thalia! It's true! He told us himself on his ship."
"No! No, no, no! The Luke I know wouldn't do that to me! To anyone! He cares for us!"
Annabeth started sobbing. Thalia looked at her and her glare melted into a look of sympathy. "Annie... Tell me it's not true."
"I'm so sorry Thalia. But it is."
She spent the next few minutes sobbing with her head pressed against her knees.

A week after Thalia came back, her, Annabeth and Percy sat on Halfblood hill. "So Thalia," Percy asked. "How does it feel to be out of the tree?"
Annabeth hit his leg but Thalia laughed. "It's better. I feel like i don't have to fight to live as much anymore. I'm alive against all odds. Plus, camp is better than running around for two years."
"Could you hear anything while you were in the pine tree?" Annabeth asked, now curious.
Thalia thought for a moment. "I usually only heard buzzing when people got close, but when they were close enough i could vaguely hear some words. Fuzzy, but there."
The other two looked at each other then back at her. "What was the last thing you heard?"
The demigoddess thought. "I think i heard something a couple days ago."
Percy and Annabeth shared a look. A few days ago they asked Chiron if he could see how old she was. The best he got was that she just aged slower, so time was slower to her. A couple days could mean weeks, or months. "What was it?"
She looked confused. "They said I'm sorry."
