Diary of Margot

A Choice to make...

"A small part of me will always wait for you to come back."

Thalia's POV

I was driving up the mountain with Zoe and Percy, we needed to be very concentrated as both normal and magical mist were strong up there. After a turn, Percy saw a boat down on the coast, Luke's boat. I was suddenly realizing what we are going to have to fight against up here; But apparently, something didn't want me to think about it as a light strike hit the car we were in. I open my shield upon us. After the rain of metal from the car, I was pissed, did my dad really tried to kill me. Percy though this had nothing to do with my father but still didn't like it. That's when we realized Zoe wasn't here, but she was fine. I told Percy to follow her closely, while he was trying to talk me out about the event that happened earlier. I knew he was trying to reassure me but we needed to get going. We managed to passed though Atlas's daughter while Zoe distract Ladon. At this moment, I knew we had to listen to Zoe, I had to believe she knew what she was doing. But what we saw next was even worse than we though, the ruins of mount Othrys, the Titan's Mountain. I realized that we weren't had to just face Atlas but the whole Army of Kronos who apparently put their headquarters here. We made it to the top, where we found Artemis holding the sky. Zoe ran up to her despite Artemis protestation. That's when the General appeared with Luke holding Annabeth and behind them, Margot who looked like she had barely enough strength to stand up. I was so upset with Luke. I couldn't understand how he could hurt Annabeth and even less how he could be okay with his little sister's condition when he swore to protect both of them. 

*Flashback*

It has been a week since we stopped at Luke's house. I could see how badly this had affected him. But I also knew I couldn't force him to talk to me. The way he started acting toward Annie and Margot was showing how much he cared for those two little girls. He wanted to give them the life and love they deserved. Of course, the girls were a little too young to understand Luke's action. Margot was only five years old, which was way too young to live what she was living. A few days earlier, Margot came to me, it was after we left the Castellan's house. I believed she didn't quite understand the situation but God, I was wrong. 

-Thalia, can I talk to you, please?

-Yeah, what's the matter?

- Did she ever really love me?

I was heartbreaking, no kids should ever have to doubt in the love of their parents, but here we were, four kids with too many parent's issues. What are you supposed to respond when the little girl you considered as your own, asked you if her mom ever loved her. 

-Of course, it just that... Luke told you about her condition, she tense to forgot thing, and maybe she was just confused. 

That was the best answer I could say, but I could see the pain in this little girl eyes. She faked a little smile and went back to Luke who was a few meters away. I knew she will always need us, and I will do everything to protect her. And I know Luke will too. 

*End of Flashback* 

Margot's POV

Thalia, Zoe and Percy arrived at the top just like everyone planned it, I was standing behind Luke who was holding Annabeth and press his sword to the hollow of his throat. At this moment, I wanted to run to Thalia and the other, I could barely stand but somehow seeing Luke hurting Annabeth was giving me strength, strength to fight for what was right. Of course, I could see Thalia was more than pissed and when she spit on Luke, I had no doubt on the side she was standing. But at this moment, the matter wasn't Annabeth but between Atlas and Zoe. Because believe or not, Zoe was his daughter, this was crazy. The first time I met Zoe was almost seven years ago, and I could never at thought that she was amongst the Titan before joining Artemis.
