The Lies Told (COMPLETE)

Chapter Eight

Chapter 8

Percy and Thalia pulled back from each other and grinned.

They had genuinely missed one another as the two were the only ones left of their group as the rest had passed on long ago.

"What brings you here to see me?"

"Perhaps we should discuss this elsewhere."

"Agreed. Let me say goodbye to my companions and I'll be right back." Percy turned and came back to where all of her children were now standing and eyeing the stranger with mistrust, which was understandable as her five vampire children had reason to be paranoid and mistrustful towards others. "I'm gonna head out, don't know when I'll be back. My cousin Thalia needs to talk to me about something in a more private setting. Stay here if you want, bond, tell each other about what's happened in the past thousand years. I'll meet you back at the house." She was stopped by Finn gently grabbing her wrist.

"Maybe Niklaus and I could accompany you and your cousin? I'm sure the others have enough material to use."

Percy thought about it then shrugged when she met Niklaus's eyes. "You can come with me if you want, but don't get offended by Thalia's nor her companions' attitude towards men. " her two sons nodded in agreement and followed her when she turned to leave.

"Thalia, Finn and Niklaus-" "Call me Klaus, love." "-they are going to be joining us. Please don't antagonize or insult them too much."

Thalia's eyes narrowed and took in not only the hybrid's and eldest brother's faces but also the other four that were left at the booth. It only took seconds for her to see the similarities between the six strangers and Percy and her eyes widened. Percy knew she had connected the dots that they were indeed her children.

"We'll talk about that in private. I'm assuming she is waiting for us."

Thalia nodded. "Of course. Follow me. And be quick."

Percy and her two sons followed behind the other girl keeping up with her fast pace easily.

"is this how it usually is for you? Always moving, always doing 'hero' stuff?" Finn asked.

Percy shook her head. "It wasn't always like this. There is a safe place for us, a place called Camp Half-Blood and it was there that we were able to just be regular kids with no worries of being attacked by monsters. But it gives us a good adrenaline rush running around and saving others, going on quests, because that is basically why demigods are born. We help give strength to the gods as we obviously believe in them and we also do tasks that the gods themselves aren't allowed to do so because of the Ancient Laws. But the gods have all learned a loop hole that they can exploit to do what they want. The two of you are going to be meeting one of my favorite goddesses of all time. In fact, she even helped me break Kol and Finn's curse last night."

"Really?!" Finn asked, trying to contain his shock and excitement. Klaus was too. They might have been a thousand years old and seen a lot of things, but that didn't mean they had had the chance to meet a god or goddess before. And neither brother could wait to rub in their siblings' faces when they got back.

Before Percy could verbally answer Finn, the four of them broke through the woods into a large clearing where tents had been set up. Surrounding the camp were women dressed as Thalia, wolves, eagles, and falcons. And standing in front of the largest tent was a woman with raven black hair that fell over one shoulder with the hair surrounding her forehead in a braid. She had on a cloak like Thalia's as well as arm bracers and a belt more similar to Percy's then Thalia's. The lady also held a bow with an arrow knocked in her right hand and there was an eagle flying around her. She had a white lace shirt on with a brown leather and fur skirt. And wrapped around her shins were fur leg warmers and opened towed sandals that intertwined into the fur leg warmers.
