I finally graduated! Goodbye middle school, hello high school. Well anyway I decided to write chapter 4. And here it is. I hope you like it.

Thalia

I take another drag and blow out all my stress. "Gods that feels good."I say to mysef. I take one last drag and outen the ciragrette.

"You know Artemis might catch you." Phoebe says coming out of the brushes beside me

"Gods Phoebe don't do that. You just acted like a creeper."

"Whatever, anyway Artemis says that Lord Apollo is going to take us to Camp Half-Blood tonight. So get ready to go. " Phoebe says turning around and leaving. I go to my tent and start pack when I hear the arguing.

"I am not your little sister, Apollo!I am older than you by a good 3 minutes! I helped mother birth you! "

"Whatever you say..little sis."Before Artemis can further their argurment,"Now where is my other sister" Apollo says bursting into my tent. Too late I realize that I left my bags wide open. "Oooo, what do we have here."I'm not even to say what he picked up because it soo embarissing.

"Put those down Apollo!" I scream at him."

"Ok, ok I putting them down." he says.

"And get out!" "What, I can't stop by and visit my.."

"I said OUT!" "I going.

"Shesh, what wrong with you girls so..." That as far as he go before something or someone shut him up. I quickly finish packing, and head towards the golden bus. I look at Apollo to see he has aquired a broken nose.

"Cool nose, bro." I say to Apollo. The whole hunt snickered at the joke.

"Just get on the bus." Apollo said while fixing his broken nose. We all pile in. To get back us, Apollo turns the ride to Camp Half-Blood into a rollercoaster ride. I mean the ride there was worst than the time I drove the hunt there. It start off fine with the bus rising, but then we went higher than usually. Thats when Apollo turns around and look at all of us and smiles. The smile had micheive written all over it. Before anyone could ask Apollo what he was about to do, the bus nose dives towards earth. I couldn't help it, I screamed. We were plummeting toward earths at a good 300 mph. I swear my life flashed before my eyes.

"APOLLO!" Artemis screams at Apollo.

"Yes" he says with an innocient.

"PULL UP NOW!"

"Whatever you say..little sis." But he doesn't pull up. Right when I think we're going to go "Splat", Apollo pulls up and makes the bus do a loop-d-loop. "I'm going to be sick" Phoebe said. I was too if somebody didn't stop Apollo. Then stops, and I think the ride is over, but the bus falls. It gets even worst when the bus starts spinning around and around. Its feels like forever, but soon we're thrown back into our seats as the bus rockets back upward. We keep going until I could almost see Olympus then we drop down again. Apollo slows down and finally stop right infront of Camp Half-Blood. Everyone quickly filed out.

"Alright hunter, I want you to go straight to my cabin and prepare for thr capture the flag game tonight. Stay away from the boys." Artemis says right before she and Apollo disapper in silver and gold light.

"You heard Lady Artemis, move out." I say. "Phoebe your in charge while I'm gone." I say to Phoebe. She nods and take the hunter towards Artemis' cabin. I run to the Zues cabin to see if Jason's there, but someone intercepts me. "Thalia!" Annabeth screams dropping her bags. Wait, her bags? She crushes me in a bear hug almost crushing my bones!

"Can you let me go now?" I ask trying to wiggle free. She finally lets me go, and I'm about to ask her where's she about to go, but I greet by someone else.

"Is that Pinecone Face?" Percy asks jogging towards us with his and Annabeth's bags.

"What did you just called me, Kelp Head?" I demanded. I was about to give him a "little" shock , but Jason step in between us. "Hey sis, I would love to see you and Perce hash it out, but we're going to need him for the quest." he tells me.

"What's the quest?" I ask.

"Its a quest for Lord Pluto, I mean Lord Hades. We have to find a something for him or something like that. Rachel gave us a prophecy and we leaving now." he replies.

"Who's going on the quest?" I question him further.

"Pipes, Leo, Percy, Annabeth, me, Nico, and Rachael." I he last two names shock me a little.

"The oracle can't go on quest with demigods." I state.

"That is true, but the prophecy calls for eight people. We thought since there was eight of us were in Nico's cabin, we were the eight people to go on the quest. " he countered.

"But...nevermind. Its your quest not mine." I start to walk away, feeling left out.

"Rachael is missing!" I turn around to see Piper coming towards the group.

"Maybe she went over to Bunker 9 with Leo." Jason suggested.

"No, she didn't come with me." Leo states joining our little group.

"Ok, listen up, we're spread out and find her. Jason go to her cave, Piper go check the archery range, Leo check the Big House, Annabeth go to the lake and check there, Thalia go get Nico, and I will go call her dad." Percy says taking charge. We all knod and sprint off to look for Rachael.

I head to cabin thirteen. 'I'm missing so much' I think to myself. 'I love the hunt and a Artemis, but brought back horrible memories. It's getting harder to handle. Plus my friends are slipping away from me. I don't that I should do' I keep pondering my thought until I realize I'm at Hades' cabin. I knock on the door. No one answers. I knock again and I get answer. A very rude answer.

"Leace me the hell alone. I don't want to see or speak to anyone until we leave for the quest. So whoever is at my door has five seconds before I send skeleton warriors after." Nico stated on the other side of the door. I wait five seconds and nothing happens so I knock again. "Gods, you guys are so...," He opens the door and looks at me."Beautiful. Sorry, I thought you were someone else. Hey, I'm Nico di Angelo, son of Hades. And you must be a goddess because you're way too beautiful to be a demi-god." he says making me blush. What the hades. I don't blush!

" Nico stop being a flirt for one second, and listen. Rachael is missing and.." That's as far as I got before he pushes pass me and jumps in a shadow.

"Will that was.." I start to say, but Nico stops me...with his lips.

"Lets finish this when I find my friend. Okay?" Nico asks. My mind was a totally blank. I couldn't think straight. So I just say,

"Okay." He smiles and jumps back into the shadows. I forget all about looking for Rachael and start walking to Zues' cabin. I walk inside and lay on my bed. "Gods that was a good kiss. My first kiss, my only kiss. Maybe being in the hunt was a mistake. " Choose love, Thaila. "Who's there?" Leave the hunt "Aphrodite, leave me alone. I don't need your interfering with my life. It too late. That kiss awoken something and you know it. She was right. That kiss did awaken something. Love. "I'm totally screwed."

Well that was chapter 4. Tell me what you think by leaving a review. Thanks. Oh yeah, I plan on starting a series. I'm not saying what the series is going to be about, but I hope you guys will check it out.
