After Jason disappeared

Thalia got the picnic basket and ran back to Jason and her mom.

She didn't wanna leave Jason and mom alone. Her mom wasn't exactly good at taking care or anyone. The only reason she ever hung around anymore was because of Jason.

When she got there, she saw mom sitting on the steps of the big building crying and hugging herself. She quickly looked around in panic, realizing Jason wasn't there.

"M- mom? W- where's Jason?" She stammered, scared of the answer.

Her mom looked up at her, tears filling her face, "he's gone Thalia, Hera claimed him. He's as good as dead now."

Her eyes widened "No no no," she whispered. She ran all over the place looking for her younger brother. He wasn't there. She sank onto the steps and put her face in her hands.

Her mother came over to her, "we have to go," she said. How could she even think of anything but Jason right now? Thalia wouldn't get up. "I'm not going anywhere without Jason." She said. Her mother eventually dragged her into the car, and drove home.

She was screaming the whole time. "NO NO NO I HATE YOU!" But it was no use, her mother wouldn't turn back.

The next few days seemed to go so slowly. She wouldn't leave her room. After about five days passed, with no sign of Jason, she couldn't take it anymore. She called the police.

When they arrived, they asked mom a lot of questions. She had trouble answering, but after they left, Thalia had a long argument with her mom.

"You should be supporting me in this, instead you go and call the police?! Her mother screamed.

"Well, you took Jason from me!" She yelled back.

She ran back up to her room and shut the door.

Thalia couldn't take it anymore. She and her mother never got along. Jason was the only reason she hung around anymore, and her mother had took him away. She just couldn't take it anymore.

She laid down on her bed and buried her  face in her pillow, crying silent tears. She had no reason to stay here anymore, did she? She decided to run away.

When it got dark, she packed a few stuff, including a bunch of weapons. (And yes, she had weapons, she's a demigod). Then she climbed down the stairs and slipped out the front door.

She ran.

She ran, and never looked back.
