23. Mystery
Words: 501
Thalia Grace didn't like mysteries.
When Artemis mentioned that she had work to do and they could have a day off to do whatever they wanted Thalia thought that it was a good opportunity to meet with Percy and Annabeth and relax a bit.
However, she had too much task as the Lieutenant to meet her friends. How did a bunch of partly immortal, well-behaved girls turn into a group of amazed giddy teenagers she had no idea. It was a mystery in her opinion.
"So that would be your infamous 'pizza' thingy?" Rasy asked with high eyebrows and she was nudging the pizza with a fork. Thalia just sighed and told her that it was. At least Raspberry was a sweet ex-nymph. However, Thalia has learnt never to give Cola to an extremely ADHD daughter of Hermes.
The daughter of Zeus just face-palmed as the ten-year-old was running up and down the street shouting about dinosaurs. Yes, Thalia Grace also learned not to take Camille to a cinema.
The Lieutenant thought that at least she wasn't the only, who wasn't born in Ancient times, who was seriously and unbelievable ADHD and who has seen New York countless times. However, it seemed that one day in a place like Manhattan would seriously make everyone go insane.
"No, Rebecca, we stay together. No, you don't go to some weird art museum without us," she said tiredly to the quite new daughter of Apollo who was too artistic for Thalia's liking.
"No, Lily you don't need another book on chemistry and before you ask Ange, you have already read all the Harry Potter books," Thalia said in a monotone tone. She begged to Artemis to appear, but it seemed that the goddess actually had fun.
"Girls, please be quite for a moment!" she shouted and the chatting stopped.
"You okay, Thals?" Emily, a daughter of Demeter asked concernedly.
"No, I have a massive headache," the daughter of Zeus answered irritably.
"Phoebe and Becca are really good in healing," Cam said enthusiastically, but it was enough for Thalia.
"Girls, please! What the Hades are you doing? It's like all of you have gone insane!" Thalia told the Huntresses and some of them looked apologetically at her others were even a bit ashamed of themselves.
"We are Hunters. We are eternal maidens, Lady Artemis' companion. You are behaving as some Aphrodite girl who saw a new Gucci bag," Thalia shook her head. She still didn't understand these girls. Have they just turned completely mental?
"Sorry, Thalia. It's just... It was a long time ago that we had a day off. The mortal World is so... different. Most of us haven't seen it for years and so much has changed," Emily said with an apologetic smile on her face.
"Still, I will ask Artemis to take you to Mr. D, there is some problem with you," Thalia muttered and without a word she started marching in the direction of the campsite. Everyone was following her quietly.
