Blinded By Our Own Flaws

~Seven~

"The funny thing is, I used to never want to hurt people. But when that overwhelming fear left me, I knew what to do. That's the thing you never figured out, I was the first to go,"

Things were falling apart left and right. Travis had managed to calm down Katie, but no one else was going to risk going out and doing anything.

Nico had been pushed off of Percy and onto Will. Thankfully—almost as if the author didn't want to have to bother to write them as their weird selves—they managed to fall asleep and migrate into cuddling.

That just left Thalia, Grover, Percy, Annabeth, and Conner. One girl who seemed to know about the disease, one who knew how to function, two guys who jumped into everything way too quickly, and one who was just along to help his friends.

That was, until Thalia Grace all of a sudden stood there and started twitching. No one had to say anything, they knew what was happening.

"Hey, can someone get me a glass of water or, like, something? Along with something to like, sit on that's not dirt," Thalia said, changing attitudes quickly. "Also, like, what am I wearing?"

"Uh, Wise Girl? Do you know her fatal flaw that way we can figure out what to do with her?" Percy asked, already feeling scared of his cousin.

"Hers is ambition. Ambitious people always strive to get what they want, now she just expects it to be handed to her. I don't know what to expect from this anymore," Annabeth explained, gradually growing more frustrated.

"Aren't you just cute as a button?" Thalia asked, smiling and booping a very concerned Conner on the nose. She smiled. "I want you,"

"What?" Conner—and everyone other sane, conscious, person in the room—repeated.

"I want you. And obviously I won't have to work for it. I don't know why I used to be so ambitious, it was a waste of time. But I want you, so I get you," Thalia explained, her mall-girl voice starting to get more annoying.

"Wait, I thought this made her act the opposite of her fatal flaw—which in this case is ambition. Why isn't she super lazy?"

"Because, Seaweed Brain, there are different types of ambition," Annabeth playfully rolled her eyes. "For starters, she is ambitious in the mindset of wanting to have done everything herself. So now she wants everyone else to do it for her,"

"Oh. Well then this sucks. What are we supposed to do?" Percy asked.

"Well, she seems to be content with flirting with Conner. He could handle her and we could go grab a few things from the store. All he has to do is get her what she wants as long as it doesn't break her vows. We'll be back quickly," Grover piped up.

"Uh, I'm not sure about this—" Conner started but Thalia just giggled and stopped the whole process. Percy gave him a pleading look and Conner sighed. "Fine, but you owe me. Big time,"
