Thalia and Luke (Thauke)

This will be before they meet Annabeth so just a heads up!

I was running down a alley way. There was a stupid ogre giant thing thing that was trying to make lunch out of me. In case you are super slow and have a brain the size of pea I happen to be a demigod. Yeah daughter of Zeus. You know they guy with the huge lighting bolt that kills everything. I only had a small knife but what good will that do? I kept running till I reached a fence and tried to climb over it as quickly as I could but my boot got caught. I feel upside down and was looking at the ugly thing. Yeah he was uglier upside down than he was right side up.

He smiled down at me. " Well I guess I win the bet. Right?"

I glared at him. " No duh idiot! I'm stuck in a stupid fence!"

He tried to make a grab for me but I stabbed his eye with my knife. I quickly managed to swing myself up right on the fence. I climbed over it and than I cursed myself. I had left the knife in the stupid things eye! I kept running till I ran into this guy. I grabbed the first thing I could find as a weapon (Which happened to be a bat :-)) I held it up and glared at him.

" If you make a single move towards me I will swing at your head. I don't care if you're some rich guy with a famous dad I will and shall swing at your head. Or kick you where it hurts." I threatened.

He had shortish blonde hair and blue eyes. He was kinda handsome but that doesn't mean I wasn't afraid to hurt him.

" I promise. I won't make a move. I'm Luke. You are?"

I lowered the bat slightly. " Thalia. Thalia Grace."

" What the hell is on your jacket?" He asked.

" Depends on what you are."

Luke laughed. " I'm a demigod. I know you are too."

That confused me. How the hell could he tell. " How the hell do you know?" I held the bat up higher.

" I'm one too. Son of Hermes."

" Zeus. But that still doesn't answer the question. How can you tell?"

He shrugged. " Well I'm no genius but I would think the giant thing with a knife in it's eye was a dead give away."

I lowered the bat. " I guess I believe you since you can see the ugly thing. What are you doing on the streets alone at midnight?" I asked.

" Well I could ask you the same thing. I ran away."

" Same. I had to leave or else I would have killed my mother."

" I have similar reasons. My mother was scaring me every day and I just had to go." Luke said.

I glared at him. Oh the hell was this guy? Again if you have a pea brain you probably would notice by now that I am very suspcious of people. I don't care if you're a teacher I will think of you as a murder maybe unless I can trust you.

" Uh we should get going." Luke said.

" We? Sorry but there is no 'we' in this situation." I stated.

" Well than you should start running like hell than because the big ugly giant is about to break through that fence."

I turned around and the ugly thing had just barreled through the fence. He grabbed at his face and ripped the knife out of his eye. He threw it at my feet. I left it there because it was just some kitchen knife.

" Here take this." Luke said. He took a spear of his back. " I don't like using. Besides I got a sword instead." I took the spear from his hand and looked at the giant thing. He was running slowly but was making progress.

" Okay I say we kill the thing and than we go seprate ways. Deal?" I held out my hand and he took it. Than I took off running. Luke was following close behind. I ran into a factory of sorts. The door was just open and I didn't think ( Let's just call him Bill since his real name is way too long to even try to pronounce) Bill would be able to make it through without taking the whole building down with him.

The inside of the building was dark and smelled of something acidiy. I slowed down and Luke ran straight into me.

"DUDE! Come on! I know you've got two good eyes on you so use them dumbass!" I hissed

" Sorry. I was trying to make sure the thing wouldn't get through the door."

I rolled my eyes. " Please. Bill has gotten through a lot smaller doors."

" Bill?"

" That's his name. Well the name I gave him. His real name is too long to say. Now can we please walk without getting hit?" I asked.

Luke nodded and followed me. It was very dimly lit inside so it was hard to tell if we were walking into a trap or if we were walking past frozen unicorns. I turned down a hallway because that's were the acid smell was strongest. I know people say don't go near that kind of stuff because you can die. But the thing is lately I'm almost always about to die so I think I walk around some acid and not get hurt.

I walked in and not far from us was a huge thing bowl I guess of acid. I walked towards it and looked down at it. It was bubbling and spiting a bit. Luke looked over the railing a bit to far and he had a sword in his hand. I tried to walk over but tripped and kinda knocked the sword out of his hand.

"Well that's goner." I said.

Luke laughed. " So can I have the spear back?" He asked.

" No." I said plainly. He was about to respond when I heard Bill running down hallway. How the hell did his fat ass get through that tiny hallway? Seriously I wanna know! I held the spear up and handed Luke the bat. He scowled at me but he still tried to look tough. Bill was running so fast towards us I don't think he knew that there was an acid thing right behind us. He was always slow to stop so if I timed this right I could get rid of him without killing him myself.

" Thalia do you have a plan or something?"

" When I say jump, go to the sides of the railing." I said. I tensed a bit as he came closer. I noticed he brought a few buddies with too.

" Thalia he's got two more friends." Luke said.

" I can see Luke. Just wait." I tensed more. Just a few more seconds.

" Thalia now would be a good time to-"

" NOW! JUMP!" I shouted. We ran towards the side and the plan worked perfectly. They ran right into the acid. I looked over the edge and saw they were still alive. They were really hurt but they weren't dead yet. I guess I would have to use another method. Lighting. I focused on them and thought about imagined them getting burnt to a crisp. I felt all the hair on my arms stand up. Than a huge hole got blasted through the building and hit the acid. I looked over at Luke and saw he was in the ground and his hair was smoking a bit.

Crap. I probably should have warned him not to touch the railing. I walked over to him and saw he was still living just knocked out.

I leaned over him and shook him slightly. " Come on Luke wake up. Wakey wakey!" I said. He slowly came to. He looked slightly dazed but other than that fine.

" Warn a guy next time." He mumbled.

I blushed a bit. " Sorry. I'm not use to having other people around me." I helped him up and looked at the acid bowl thing again. Bill and his buddies were no where to be seen.

" Ha! It worked. How the hell did that work?" I asked myself.

Luke laughed a bit " Alright I forgive you for the whole lighting thing now."

I smiled and walked towards the first door I saw. It was locked and I was about five seconds from stabbing the door open with the spear until Luke pushed me aside. I don't know what he did exactly but next thing I knew the door was open.

" How the hell?"

" My dad is Hermes remember?" He said. He walked outside and I followed.

" Yeah that explains a lot." I said sarcasticly. I smiled and walked outside. " Would you happen to know what state were in?" I asked.

" Yeah uh I think this is Nebraska or some place like that. Why?"

I shrugged. " Just curious. Uh do you want your spear back?" I asked

Luke shooked his head. " Nah. I'm not very good with those. I would like to use a sword but that is in a pit of acid at the current moment. Besides I'm good with bats. So do you still want to go solo on this?"

" Well it wouldn't kill to have some company every now and then." I mumbled. " So I guess I wouldn't mind having you around. So where to next?" I asked.

" I've always want to visit Wyoming. Heard it was nice. And that there aren't a lot of people around to bother you. You good with that?"

" The less people the better." I said.

He smiled. And I smiled back. This would be fun.

A/N Hello everybody. So I know people wanted that Traite sequal but I need to get a request out of the way so I thought why not do a Thauke. Maybe I'll do another request for the next chapter. Don't worry I'm not that cruel. I'll just make you wait a month (JK or am I?). If you have a couple pairing you want to see just put it in a review and I'll see if I can't work my magic!

C YA! LUV YA! E-SAW-BELL!
