Chapter 2


Thalia's POV

I got to Camp Half-Blood and I started to look for Nico. I had missed him and Percy so much. And of course Annabeth. I started tensing, emotions overwhelming me.

What if he doesn't like me? What if he says no?

I finally got to the Hades Cabin and shook all of those thoughts off. I saw the door. (Sorry, I didn't know how to explain it)It was made of solid obsidian with heavy columns and a skull over it. 

I opened it and walked inside. It had beds resembling coffins, with mahogany frames, brass railings and blood red velvet blankets and pillows. 

I turned around and saw Nico kissing a girl. I remembered her as one of the new campers. Her name was Aria Miller, a daughter of Apollo. 

My heart shattered and tears were falling down my cheeks. I ran out of the cabin, crying silently. 

I sat down at a corner and sobbed.

                                             *********************At the same time***********************

Percy's POV

I had to ask Annabeth something so I went to her cabin. It was of a grey colour with plain white curtains and an owl over the door.

 On the inside, there was a workshop and library, filled with thousands of books and old scrolls, as well as chairs and tables for them to read. The workshop was crammed with tables and workbenches, and the cupboards was filled with materials to build things. There were also several 3-D models of buildings, blueprints, old war maps and armor. The cabin was also filled with SMART boards and other things typically found in classrooms, with all the bunks shoved together against one wall. 

I saw Annabeth kissing James Miller, Aria Millers' twin brother. I always knew he was quite stuck-up, but I never thought that he would think about stealing my Wise Girl away from me. No. She's not my wise girl anymore. She's just Annabeth. 

I ran out of the cabin, feeling betrayed (Couldn't find anything else to say, but these two POV's are quite similar because I just want to get to the real bit) and started walking when I saw Thalia crying silently at a corner. 

"Thalia, what happened?" I asked. I was still quite upset about what Annabeth had done but I had to get over it. Anyway, one of my best friends was crying and I couldn't just let that happen. I hated seeing her like this.

"I saw Nico kissing a girl" she sniffed.

I knew that she had had a crush on Nico but couldn't do anything since she was a Hunter. I was so angry that this had happened to not only me, but Thalia. I would gladly go through this myself, but seeing my best friends go through this too. Nope. Can't let that happen. I also was shocked that Nico would do such a thing, even though, technically, Annabeth did too. At this point, I couldn't trust anyone. 

I asked her who it was and she told me that it was Aria Miller. I frowned. Aria had always seemed like a nice enough person, even though James wasn't. They were both twin children of Apollo and I had thought that Aria had gotten his good, cheery nature. I had never heard of a two children, much less one, be so cruel and stuck-up. I couldn't believe that she would do this. 

I comforted Thalia.

She then frowned and said (through sobs) "I saw you crying as well. What happened to you?"

I told her what happened and she just hugged me tightly in response. We stayed like that for a while until Thalia cleared her throat and pulled away from the hug.

Thalia's POV

When I heard about what Annabeth did to Percy, I was mad. Mad at Nico, Annabeth. At James and Aria. Percy had told me that James was always annoying but Aria was nice. Or at least he thought. I couldn't bring myself to think that Annabeth, the girl who I had always thought of like a little sister to me, the girl who I had cared for a while, the girl who had survived in Tartarus and the girl who had been the girlfriend of someone as great as Percy, was a cheater and who now seemed like the dumbest daughter of Athena of the century. Who would ditch someone as great as Percy, as loving and caring as Percy, someone who would go through literal hell for you at whatever cost? 

I felt for Percy. He had been through so much for the love of his life, been through so much to be with her peacefully and this is what he got?

I mean, yes, I had always had a crush on him. Ever since he got me out of my tree, I did, but I soon realised that he was Annabeth's so I leaved him alone and never told him. I joined the hunters so I would not be tempted and I finally fell for Nico. But then I didn't want to leave the hunters, didn't want to leave my sisters, so I stayed. I thought back to what Zoe had said all those years ago. The words Luke will let you down some day, just like Hercules let me down and you will regret it were ringing in my ears. I thought that Luke had let me down, as did Nico. At this thought, I started weeping uncontrollably. 

"Thalia, stop this", I chided in my mind. "All this for a boy, who you were never even with?"  (I know that there were a lot of repetitions but I couldn't think of another way to show all the emotion and stuff).

Percy wiped my tears off my face and said, "We've got nothing left for us here so let's leave Camp. We will write letters together to the people who we still trust and didn't do anything, just to let them know that we are gone and so we don't let them worry. Okay?"

I sobbed once more and said "Okay". I didn't know how Percy could be so calm about this but then, he survived Tartarus. I had a feeling that this betrayal was almost as bad as that experience. 

We headed to his cabin, which was basically a long, low building facing the ocean, made of rough sea stone and pieces of coral and seashell embedded into the outside walls. It had the symbol of a trident, with the big bronze number 3 over the door.

 Inside, the walls were made of abalone, which six neat bunk beds and 6 silk sheets. In the middle, there was a saltwater fountain, made out of gray sea rock and a fish spouting the water from its mouth, with a coral decoration. The bottom was filled with several golden drachmas for Iris messaging. There was also a few tables next to each bunk bed, with a chair each. 

I sat down at one of the chairs and Percy grabbed one from under another table and we started scribbling words onto paper for our real friends. Basically, I left a note for Katie, Miranda, Clarisse, Chris, Jason and Piper and Percy wrote one for Leo, Hazel, Frank, the Stolls and Reyna. We also wrote one for Malcolm. He deserved to know what happened especially since that was his sister.  We basically told them what had happened and that we are leaving but they shouldn't worry and that we hope we will see them again soon.

We then decided to quickly pack, with me going to the Zeus Cabin, hoping that Jason wouldn't be there. The Zeus Cabin was just as I had remembered it last time I was here. It was a marble building, which looked a bit like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The big bronze double doors were polished in such a way to provide a sort of holographic effect of lightning bolts pacing across. I had always admired that about this cabin, and I know that Jason did too. I was going to miss him a lot. 

The interior had a dome-shaped ceiling, decorated with moving mosaics of a cloudy sky and thunderbolts. A statue of Zeus in a traditional Greek chiton was centered in the room. I saw the corner in which I had placed photos of me, Annabeth and Luke from after being let out of the tree and those of which I had kept on after I had become a Hunter and after I had learnt of Luke's traitorous acts. I teared them down. I was no longer in tears but my eyes were red and puffy from crying. Then, I gathered all of my things that I had always used when I was out hunting:

-My weapons (hunting knives, bow and arrow with quiver, spear and my shield, Aegis, which turned into a bracelet)

-My clothes

-A camping tent that shrunk or englarged depending on the suitable size

-My toiletries

-A backpack to put all the stuff in

I put the bracelet (Aegis) on my wrist and put all the things I had gathered neatly into my backpack. Then, I headed back to Poseidon's cabin.

                        *********************At the same time**********************

Percy's POV

I put my minotaur horn, my clothes, Riptide and my toiletries into my backpack and waited for Thalia to arrive at my cabin. After like 2 minutes, she came and we were ready to go. We creeped out of Camp and we were ready to go. We just didn't know where to go. But at least we had each other's company and we weren't alone.
