Chapter 11
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson
LAST TIME:
"That was a block of pure uranium 235 going off killing and killing everything for 3 miles. What you just saw is my real powers at work. If Chaos hadn't sealed them I would have killed them all when they captured me. But now I am limited to 5 minutes of use with them if someone say my name along with a certain saying. Beautiful isn't it? How much destruction a couple of atoms of uranium can cause." I said as he just gulped at my look.
"I wouldn't say that." She said as the site was now just a mushroom cloud in a dark night sky. Other than the area around the bomb I set off which was in flames. In the distance the signaled a camp was there at one point but now it wasn't. I just looked at Artemis as her face was serious now.
"So Flaw care to explain why you kissed my lieutenant on the lips?" She asked me in a deadly tone as I knew I wasn't going to be able to get out of this. I guess you could say I just came out of the frying pan and right into the fire. I would take killing a village of warriors any day above explaining this.
"Well funny story..."
NOW: 6 months until Percy
"I don't see how that is possibly funny." She said clenching her fist as if finished up why I kissed Thalia in tight but small balls of furry as I just laughed a little at the sight. A 13 year old goddess who had the face that said she was pouting or something. It was just too funny not to laugh as I broke down and just lost it. She just looked madder as her face grew an angry shad of gold some small sparks of power dancing in her hair as I stopped.
"You're lucky boy if you were so important to us I would have killed you for what you have done." She said as I just gave her a look of satisfaction with that response.
"Well I didn't really expect you to by this light on me when I did it." I said to her as her left eye just twitched as she grew a cruel smile.
"Oh just you wait until Thalia finds you, I may not be able to hurt you but when she sees you after the meeting in Olympus. All I can say is run because she doesn't seem to like to hold back, especially with men." She said with a cruel smile as I just shiver at the thought of Thalia not liking me. I don't know why but I couldn't afford to have her hate me, I felt like if that happened my heart would break. But I had no idea where these emotions were coming from which confused me because I was literally the master of emotions.
"I guess you are right..." I said trailing off as Artemis looked at me funny, getting over the fact she couldn't do anything to me.
"What's up with you?" She asked me taking the reins on the chariot pushing it higher in the sky as we came closer to Olympus. Which by my estimate was somewhere right past the mesosphere. As we went higher I felt the elements bend to suitable for humans around the chariot.
"I just escaped from the enemy's camp and easily destroyed it, and you ask what's up with me. Let me give you a hint, it involves thoughts of what were to happen if I were to die." I said simply as that shut her up. I just smiled as I sat quietly in the back as I watched the layers of the planet's atmosphere. But then I noticed we passed the mesosphere and were about a 20 miles into the thermosphere.
The view blew me away as I just awed at the Pandora, the massive seas and the landscape. I just smiled as I stood up and looked over the side. I saw everything and I mean everything, including snowcapped mountains. Massive cities and populations that lit up the dark side of the planet. I had figured out that there was about 4 billion people that were mostly demigods and some mortals. It was all too amazing as I heard a chuckle from Artemis as I turned to her with the smile on my face.
"Amazing isn't it?" She asked me as I just nodded as I looked upon it forgetting that I was in the dog house with Thalia at the moment.
"Yeah..." I said not even looking at her as I just looked at the large clouds covering the landscape and storms that wrecked forests. It was beautiful an absolute picture of what things should be like. Peaceful with a careful touch to lead it in the direction but still deadly at times to force the hand back and change its ways. That was what nature was and on earth we destroyed ours both on the surface and the being that held it all together.
"It looks like we are here." Artemis said as I turned my head to see Olympus floating in the sky with a barrier around it. It was larger than I remember from on Earth that was for sure, maybe about 5 times bigger than it. I had many mixed emotions about the place. Even I had to admit it was a work of pure art and Annabeth.
As we landed on a runway for chariots I hopped off as Artemis followed, a satyr jumping in it and went to part it in the stables as I began to walk away. As I did I recognized a few familiar buildings especially Hercules house. Ah the memories of me getting throw through its walls like a rag doll. As I walked down the streets I noticed many nymphs and minor goddess just staring at me. All I did was look away from them as I suddenly felt a hand punch my side. As I turned I saw a furious Artemis.
"I hate you, first you kiss my hunter then began to flirt with other women. Go rot in hell." Artemis suddenly said as I was absolutely confused as to why she thought I was flirting with them. She just huffed at me and began to walk past me and to the large doors that we finally reached after 10 minutes of previous walking.
"What the hell I didn't even look at one of them?" I asked out loud as I heard someone laughing as I turned to see Annabeth in a white tunic ready for the meeting. She looked pretty to say the least as her hair was all in its normal princess curls. Her slim body hidden under the one shoulder strap tunic.
"Why do you look so nice?" I asked out loud as she blushed a little but cleared her throat.
"Don't you know today is the winter solstice, all gods and attending members are required to wear a tunic." She said as I just groaned realizing she was right.
"Damn..." I said as I looked down at my cloak and sighed. Then at Annabeth as she had a face of pure hysteria on her face.
"What the hell is so funny?" I asked her as she just smiled through her trying to not laugh.
"Oh just Artemis, I think she is mad because you didn't actually look at all the females starring you down. I guess she wanted you to and prepared herself to hit you if you did, but since you didn't she was mad because she really wanted to hit you. Thus you got punched in the side." She explained as it sounded just about right with Artemis being crazy and all.
"Sounds just about right but why is it funny?" I asked her as she just smiled again and began to pull me over to a store that sold tunics.
"Because when you see a 13 year old punch a guy because she is pissed because you didn't do something she expected you to do it is funny." She said as she pulled me inside making a ding at the door. As that happened a man appeared that seemed to be a mortal as he just looked at me nad nodded.
"Come with me sir I think I have something that will fit you perfectly." The males said as he grabbed my hand and dragged me into the back. After 10 minutes I came out wearing a black tunic but the cool thing he did was that it was my cloak. What he had done was magically shifted my cloak to take up any clothes forms I wanted.
So I was wearing a tunic that covered only one of my pecks and was slightly tight, my combat boots had changed to sandals. But otherwise nothing had change even the souls in my cloak still screamed inside the fabrics. I loved it as much as did that kiss with Thalia, and the cool thing he had put it so that I could have normal clothes but they would all be black. But I didn't mind since it was still my cloak.
I just walked around a little I smiled at how comfortable it was as I turned to see Annabeth just staring at me dumbfounded. I just couldn't help but smile as I she saw me catch her stare as she turned her head away blushing. The man just gave me a sly wink saying that he saw her stare and to hit that. I just nodded and fist bumped him as Annabeth regained herself.
"W-Well you look nice, Billy just put it on my card." She said as he nodded and rang her up.
"What he did was epic look what I can do." I said as I focused on my old outfit as al the fabric shifted until I was wearing my normal all black clothes and combat boots. But now all my clothes had the small souls decorating their fabric not just my cloak anymore excluding my boots and pants. Then I changed them into others as well, from a hoodie to a fancy suit I tried them all as Annabeth paid for me.
"Well seeing as you like my gift so much, I think you owe me now." She said with a smile that said this was her plan the whole time.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked her.
"I want to hear your stories, come over later tonight for dinner I think my husband would love another male in the house." She said rolling her eyes as I just laughed remember she was Annabeth married to Jake.
"Very well I will, not lets go make the gods be amazed by my soul like attire." I said trying to pull a pun but she just shook her head saying it didn't work. I just changed back into my tunic as I nodded to Billy as he still gave me a sly wink.
"Fine well let's go." She said glaring at Billy as he just innocently shrugged.
LINEBREAK:
As I walked in with Annabeth all the gods just looked at us, I just stood proud and strong with my arms at my sides. Like I was expecting fireworks to go off behind me but I didn't want to think that a mirror mortal was better at entrances than him. All the goddess just stared at me as I gave them a wink unnoticed by all the males. Ares just looked at me like a fool like normal when I was a demigod.
"Hi." I said as I swear a few of them face palm as Hermes just held in a laugh. I just straightened my tunic as I walked over to one of the guest seats. To my liking it was black and Annabeth's was grey. As I sat down I looked to the person sitting to my right to see Hazel just smile at me, at the sight I face palmed myself mentally. I had totally forgotten about her and my child which seemed to be growing splendidly by her baby bulge.
"Well seeing how the man of the hour can finally be here we can finally start." Zeus said in an irritated tone, but I was just talking to Hazel and Frank and congratulating them on 'his' child.
"Flaw pay attention." Annabeth said elbowing me in the gut as I let out a puff of air. At this most gods chuckled as I started to pay attention to Zeus. It was the normal 'gods are all powerful, I am the strongest, and your nothing to me' speech. As I toned out the god I just looked at the goddess I had fucked. Hera seemed as bored as ever. As our eyes met I saw a twinkle in them but it didn't last long as she turned back to Zeus.
Aphrodite was open about it as she just licked her lips as she looked at me, Medusa was currently serving as a servant to Hera as she just winked at me as well. Demeter didn't ever look at me but the look in her eyes said that she knew I was looking at her. I just smirked as I turned back to Zeus as he finally stopped and everyone clapped. I just remained seated as I knew my time was next.
"To the first order of business, as you all know Flaw was captured by the enemy over 3 weeks ago. Today her returns to us alive and well, but not only that he has returned with a general that he captured. I would like to welcome Flaw to the middle of the room." Zeus said with fake emotion as I stood up and walked to the middle of the room.
All the women just blushing at my large and perfect body. As I sat down in the chair I crossed my legs and gave a big yawn that echoed through the room. As I finished I just saw Zeus's eye twitch as I just gave a grin, god I loved pissing him off. But as I sat in the middle of the room a door opened to the right of the room causing us all to turn to see Reyna in chains. She was now in normal clothes as struggled against her bonds and the people at her sides that were full armed.
"I present to you the traitor Reyna daughter of Bellona." Zeus said as she was moved to the middle of the room. As she got about 5 feet in front of me she was throw on the ground. In an instant her chains were chained to the ground. They allowed her to only sit on her knees, and that was it. As she sat up and struggled she turned to see the whole room.
"Reyna as a traitor of Olympus you must be punished but first your interrogation will commence by my own hands." Zeus said looking at me not Reyna as if he was practicing for my time. All she did was growl as she tugged at the chains. But a second later she let out a blood curtailing scream as I saw lighting dance across her chains that bound her neck and wrists. After a second it stopped as she fell onto the ground coughing I just cringed at the sight as I watched her get tortured by him.
"Tell us traitor what are the Eternals plans." Zeus said as I remembered the name, it was the name of their leader. He was a god that we knew nothing about and apparently as harsh as Zeus was.
"I won't tell you anything, get your head out of the clouds Zeus you're not going to win this war. We will kill every one of the gods for what they have done. You lis-." She was cut off by another shock of electricity that seemed to go on longer than the last as I watcher she tremble on the ground. Tears just streamed down her face as she slowly caught her breath, Artemis just looked away. But her hands that were currently crushing her armrests said that she was pissed.
As well as the other gods couldn't look at her as she slowly got up to her kneeling positon. All the other immortals, minor gods, and major gods were all looking away not wanting to watch their old friend be tortured. Bellona just looked ready to jump out of her seat and help her daughter but she knew she would be killed is she did.
"Tell us girl what are his plans!" Zeus shouted as she just looked up at the god as a small smirk grew on her lips.
"His plans? He has no plans other to kill you all. You should understand this already, he came to solely wipe you all out. But now since you have let Flaw out of his cage that put a large speed bump in his plans. You may not know this Zeus but there are gods more powerful than you in his ranks. Old forgotten gods left aside by you and the Olympians, so old you have forgotten their names."
"Eternal is a kind god for he took me in at the time you betrayed me, as well as the son of Hades." She said as Hades suddenly jumped out of his chair with wide eyes.
"You know where Nico is?" He asked her as he walked towards her, Zeus tried to say something but me Hera's eyes that said no.
"So what if I do? It won't help you all in the slightest, he has left all his ties with the Olympians. After you tried to kill him-." She was suddenly struck my Hades as her head snapped to the side. She just looked surprised as she slowly turned to the raging god. Shadows taking to him like water to Poseidon.
"We would never do such a thing he helped us, tell me why would I try to kill my son!?" He shouted at her.
"You don't remember do you..." She said as his face grew confused.
"Remember what...tell me!" He shouted at her grabbing her by the collar of her shirt as he just looked into his scarred and fearful eyes. But her eyes remained unmoving in the deep darkness of his. But before she could say anything Zeus spoke.
"That is enough brother." He said as Hades just stayed like that for a few more seconds then threw her back on the ground and stalked back to his seat. As he sat down you could see his eyes seeing to think of everything that he may have forgotten.
"You know what Zeus she has a point, you gods seem to be forgetting a lot of things lately. But I have a feeling you know something that we all don't. Please share with us what we have forgotten." I said from my seat as I just watch a small arch of electricity bounce off his hands between knuckles. But at as I said it I saw all the gods just look at him as I just smirked at his mask of no emotion.
"You dare demand something from the king of the gods?" He said in a deadly tone as he avoided what I said before.
"Oh no I do not, what lowly immortal would demand something from his great majesty. What I meant to say is pleas enlighten us on the subject of what we have forgotten." I said with a smile as I saw him get more frustrated as Reyna just snickered.
"Yes Zeus what have we forgotten?" One of the minor gods asked as the Olympians shifted uncomfortably as Zeus just glared at me.
"You have forgotten nothing-." But he was cut off by Hades jumping up and grabbing him by the collar of his toga.
"Do not lie brother what have we forgotten, and don't think about lying either. Apollo can tell your lies apart." He said as Apollo looked surprised he was being dragged into the matter.
"Get your hands off me brother." Zeus commanded but Hades didn't look like he was going to.
"I said, GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Zeus shouted kicking Hades in the gut as he let go, at the same time both goes drew swords at their side. Knowing if they brought out their sacred weapons it would destroy the palace. All while I just smiled at the sight this was so humorous I was about to explode in laughter. Until the peacekeeper stepped in.
"Father lay down your arms, you to uncle!" Athena shouted as both gods didn't even look at her but slowly lowered their weapons and put them away as everyone let out a huge breath.
"Now father I believe it would be better for you to inform all the gods and immortals of our mistakes. That way no more of these fights break out in the future." She said as Zeus just sat down glaring at Hades who was doing the same.
"Very well I will." He said giving into logic as Athena nodded as Zeus began to explain my whole situation, while leaving out that he took control of the council. As well as Nico and Reyna leaving behind Olympus because of their actions against me. Who were later picked up by the Other Worlders, I just sat through the whole thing as he went on. But as he finally finished I could feel multiple gods boiling with rage as Zeus just gave a sigh.
"I am sorry if it means anything." Zeus said.
"So that's what happened to Percy." I heard from Annabeth as I turned to her, as I looked at her she had dead eyes as I watched her fists ball up in rage. I guess the gods could see the tension in the room as Zeus squirmed in his seat. I just smiled as I began laughing people just looked at me as my small laugh grew into deep hysterical laughter. Soon I had multiple gods all frowning at me as I felt their hatred towards me.
"Zeus you're so stupid oh god." I said through the tears in my eyes as I looked at Zeus who took this comment to heart.
"You think just because you tell the truth means you are free of your actions, let me tell you Zeus that man you killed was beyond anything you could even imagine. He struggled in the pit for years, to only die in my very arms. You have no right to be sorry Zeus for your actions you should feel guilty and if you don't then you have no right to morn him." I said standing up and walking beside Reyna as she just glanced up at me.
"You're the only god that does not feel guilt from his death Zeus do you know that? Yet it isn't very hard to believe since he did kill you're stuck up son for trying to kill Jake. I remember the day like it was yesterday." I said walking like I was interrogating the 15 feet tall god. At this everyone seemed surprised as Zeus hadn't mentioned this.
"What do you mean remember the only people alive at the time, are all immortals and gods and are currently in this room." Zeus said as I just chuckled as I kept walking till I was in the very middle of all the thrones. Which was about 30 feet from my original positon.
"You forget Zeus the shadows of this world all house shades, with my information network I know everything about what happened to him." I said as the gods all seemed surprised.
"I even remember the look of pure hatred against your son for nearly killing Jake, the furry in his eyes even opened up a new power didn't it. The power over the periodic elements, the very building structure to everything including gods." I said as I looked right at Artemis as she seemed confused then I saw realization hit her like a brick wall.
"Just like the power you have." She said quietly but everyone in the room heard it.
"Yes just like mine, why do you think Chaos sealed them? Because the power is not of her own creation but one of man itself. That is why she is so afraid of it, the power she has not control to take or give. But can only be sealed by her because she is afraid of its possibilities!" I said looking right up at the ceiling as it changed to a swirling galaxy from the normal sky. At this all the gods and immortals began to talk in hushed whispers as all the Olympians starred at me like I was crazy.
"Flaw settle down." I heard from Hestia as I gave her a smile of pure craziness.
"But Hestia I am not done telling all the people in this room the tortures that Percy Jackson went through. The years he spent in Tartarus surviving, the loss of each of his limbs. To simply regrow because of a curse to not be able to die until he finally gave up on living then the curse broke." I said out loud as everyone just looked at me.
"The horrors that even the stupid wine god wouldn't be able to handle he went through. The blood ponds that would even make Ares hurl. The water that he could not breathe in. The very rain made of fire that fell from the skies that burned his skin to a crisp only to be healed. 400 years and he never gave up on getting out, but finally one day to try to erase it all he jumped in the Lethe."
"But the very water rejected him as it spit him out, in that moment as I watched him from the shadows as I always did he gave up. In that last 10 minutes I took his curse of the fatal flaws and added it to my own. His powers that were the same as mine going to me as well, his soul just cracked under it all. But you know what his last words were, it was I am sorry." I finished as I looked over all the immortals, minor and major goddesses and Olympians.
All of them had tears in their eyes others were screaming in pain as their memories returned. All I did was stand still in the middle of the room looking at Zeus as Reyna let the river of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"To only think that it could have all been prevented if Zeus wasn't such a power hungry god. Whose only quest is to make sure his genes and children stay on top, when Percy killed your child you saw him as a threat. So you got rid of that threat successfully I might add, now I think you have a few people to address. Artemis I will be at camp, and Annabeth just IM me when you want me to come over for the dinner party with your family and me." I finished as my toga turned into my normal cloak as I disappeared into a burst of shadows.
LINEBREAK:
Leaving the Olympians to take the heat of what I revealed to all the other gods and immortals. At the same time as I shadow traveled, I took Reyna with me unnoticed I might add. As I appeared a couple yards from the nearest tent at the now larger hunters camp. Reyna popped out of a shadow still in chains. As she did she was instantly on her feet and looking at me as I just sighed.
"Reyna go back to your allies." I said simply as I turned towards the camp as I didn't hear her move as I turned back around.
"Why are you letting me go?" She asked me confused as I just smiled.
"Think of it as a gift, I will let you go because I feel like making the gods more pissed off than I already have. The nearest enemy camps is about 500 miles east and I will assure you get a monster escort on the way there." As I said it the large wolf that I had forced into servitude under the hunters appeared out of layer of trees as Reyna stepped back.
"Don't worry he wont hurt you, just ride on his back until you're a mile outside of camp. Tell them everything I don't care." I said as the wolf laid down as I picked her up with a eep and put her on his back.
"Wait why are you being so nice?" She asked me as the wolf stood up. She had to grab his fur to stay upright as he moved.
"Because you knew Percy Jackson right? Think of it as last gift he would want me to give you to. But if I catch you again Reyna...I don't know if I will be able not to kill you. Stay safe okay and again I am sorry that you had to remember him that way." I said as I let out a low whistle and the wolf was off. His pawns didn't even make sound as he ran on the ground as he disappeared from site.
At the same time I began walking into camp, but as I did most or at least I think most hunters were still up as there was about 30 still moving around. As she saw me she instantly recognized me as her eyes went wide. She then ran to one of the other hunters and pointed at me as her eyes went wide as well.
"Flaw is back!" She suddenly screamed out load as all the hunters swirled their heads in my direction. As soon as I stepped into camp was already surrounded by 60 and growing hunters in the middle of camp after being dragged by one of them there. I just stood in silence as they just all looked at me like I wasn't real. But then through the crowd as they all just looked at me came a small death daughter of Artemis.
"Flaw!" I suddenly heard an angelic voice as the nine year old girl jumped into my arms knocking me back a step. As I held her close I was stunned at her voice that came out as I looked up at the smiling face of Alex. As I did this I felt hot tears run through my shirt at Cloey held onto me and not letting go as if I might disappear.
"She has been practicing to say your name for when you got back, which is the only word she can say correctly." Alex said as I just smiled as Cloey still hadn't looked at me.
"Also Flaw." I looked up at Alex again as I saw her fidget as everyone looked at her as they seemed to all do the same thing.
"Thank you for saving my sisters." She said with a bow that made me make a double take, but it was gone in a flash as she had turned around and walked away.
"Thank you as well for saving us." Another aid as more and more began to bow until nearly all the hunters were bowing. I was just stunned as I just looked around them all as they stood up some with tears in their eyes.
"Don't worry about it I did it for this little one in the first place." I said as I hugged Cloey as she still cried in my shirt as everyone seemed to know what I was going to say already.
"Well you still have one more of us to go apologize to." A hunter said walking over and taking one of Cloey's hands who still hadn't let go. But as the hunter did Cloey looked at her as she signed 'it's time to go to bed' and Cloey just nodded. But as she walked away she wouldn't let go of my shirt with one hand as I smiled and pried her little fingers as the girl took her inside the tent. Everyone just gave me more thanks you for saving their lives as everyone left I saw the Lt's tent right in front of me.
I just took a deep breath and approached the tent I stopped an inch from knocking on the door as I gathered my 'I am sorry' in my head. Finally after thinking it over for about half an hour I knocked three times that seemed to echo through the forest. After no response for about five minutes I knocked again but this time I heard someone inside moving around. As I stood in silence in front of the door I just waited for my utter doom.
I was absolutely terrified that Thalia hatted me and if she did I would somehow try to get her to like me again. I would find a way no matter what, but back to the rustling I heard inside the tent. Finally after what seemed hours the door opened revealing a messy haired Thalia. Her eyes were currently begin rubbed by her hand. Her clothes that were just black bike shorts and a sports bra suggested she was just asleep. After a yawn she opened her eyes and just looked up at me as I gave a smile.
Instantly she shut the door in my face as I began to panic, but before I could do anything the door opened again reveling a much more awake Thalia. Her electric blue eyes just starring at mine, her hair looked like it had been tried to be brushed with a hand in that minute. I just stared into her eyes as I gulped and just smiled at her.
"Hey Thalia." I said as she just blinked again as I suddenly felt a hand around my collar as I was pulled inside her tent. In an instant her door closed as I turned around to meet Thalia who was still at the door with her back to it.
"Listen I am sorry-." I said as I suddenly felt her hand slap my face, but after that I felt a knee reach my but as she pulled my top body down. As the air rushed out of my lungs I collapsed but she kept me up. But with a punch to the face I fell on the ground gripping my nose as I tried to get my breath back. But it didn't end there as I felt her small foot meet my gut again as I cough a small amount to blood on the ground. As I looked up at Thalia her eyes suggested a long built up rage was expected but with her current outfit it was lost in the wind.
"You are lucky I don't fucking kill you right now for what you did to me." She said as she straddled my waist with her legs and punched me again with a fist full of lighting. I just let out a groan in pain as my arms were pinned down at my sides by her legs. Blood streamed down my face and into the carpet as she huffed I anger.
"You are lucky you are live right now." She said this time hit my chest with another lighting punch as I gave into the pain as I let out a small cry. I couldn't fight back I just couldn't bear the thought of hurting Thalia for some reason. But after a second I noticed her hand hadn't move as I saw a tear drop from her eye. At the sight I was stunned, I had never seen Thalia cry. The site just wanted to make me hug her but I think that would be the end of me.
"You are lucky I didn't tell Artemis what I figured out about you seaweedbrain." She said with a sad smile as I just blinked a few time, but then I felt tears start to run to my own eyes. I don't know why but they just started up as I just starred at Thalia as her small tears turned into cries as she let my arms go.
"Looks like one person didn't forget after all." She said, but I didn't want to correct her as I suddenly hugged her as tears rand down my face. Pushing her onto my legs as I sat up, as I cried I set my head on top of hers eye began to swell the one she hit. As she hugged me back I felt her face begin to dampen shirt as she began to sob horribly into my chest as she remember what happened to me and who I really was.
"Thank you for remembering Thalia." I said as I hugged her closer as I felt a smile build on her lips. As she pulled back as her now puffy red eyes seemed to smile at me along with her face that tried to smile but couldn't as her crying one stayed put.
"No problem." She said as she smiled at me as she looked at my face with a frown.
"If you ever disappear again I will kill you, I don't think I can go through that again." She said as I smiled and nodded. Finally I had someone who truly knew me and I could talk to. But as I looked at her my eyes went down as her eyes followed mine. Then she noticed what she was wearing as deep red blush crossed her face as she quickly got up and walked into the bathroom. A second later she was wearing normal shorts and a baggy t-shirt.
Her face was still flushed but she then began to tend to my nose as I hissed in pain as I realized she had broken the bone. As she cleaned me up I couldn't help but smile at her face that said I was her soul focus right now.
"There you go." She said finishing as I munched on some Ambrosia she provided for me as I stood up as she just looked at me.
"Now Percy I have a question." She said to me as I just nodded as her face got a little red.
"Why did you kiss me?" She asked me as I gulped, as quickly as she asked I began to explain it to her feeling if I didn't I would be in trouble.
"Oh that's why." She said as I sighed and nodded. Her eyes seemed almost disappointed in my reason why as I just suddenly hugged her again surprising her. As her small arms gently hugged me back as I smiled.
"Well now I don't have to live a lie anymore, at least not you." I said as I let go as she just shook her head with a grin. But as her eyes met mine I saw something in them that said she was holding back. I just gulped as I started to lean in as her eyes grew wide. But as I got closer her arms tried to push me away but didn't seem like they want me to go away since they clung to my shirt.
As our lips got closer and closer our scents began to mix, her ozone mixing with my earth and sea. Our breaths grew ragged as we were an inch from one another but suddenly an IM popped up in between us throwing us. Thalia jumped back in surprised as did I as it showed a face of Annabeth looking right at me not noticing Thalia since she was on the other side of the message.
"Hey Flaw it's time for the dinner party okay, I will see you up here." She said quickly then swiped through the message as Thalia just blushed looking at me.
"I think I have to go." I said as she just nodded messing with her shirt.
"Have fun at your dinner party." She said quietly totally embarrassed that we almost kissed again.
"Yeah get some sleep I will be back in the morning." I said as she nodded and walked to her bed but not before looking at me right before I went out.
"Hey Percy I...nothing never mind." She said as she hopped in bed and cocooned herself in her blankets as I stepped out of the door and let out a large sigh. I almost kissed Thalia just the thought gave me Goosebumps, but what I knew in the morning Thalia would recover and be back to her normal self. Which to be honest I liked it when she was more feisty.
A/N: So how did you guys like it I hope you did don't worry it will get better in a few chapter just need to cover the back story first.
