One Day Soon

🌕-Chapter 3-🌕

Thalia was confused. She knew that Percy was really emotionally unstable because of Annabeth's death, but she didn't expect it to be as bad as it was. So when he ran out of the canoe lake screaming bloody murder, she was, to say the least, worried. Who wouldn't be worried that their best friend is going insane? Almost everybody else. Only her, Will, Nico, Grover, Frank, Leo, Jason, and the Stolls were worried about him. So when Clarisse started making fun of him, things would not end well.

"Prissy is just being a little baby, he should man up!" Clarisse yelled.

"What did you just say?" Thalia hissed.

"You heard me Sparky!"

"I'm not sure I did, why don't you say it again?"

"Prissy needs to man up."

Then Thalia charged, she took out her spear and activated Aegis. Clarisse back up a little but regained her bearings and pulled out her sword. Thalia bashed her in the face with her shield, brought the shaft of the spear down and tripped her, and hit her in the face with the butt of the spear knocking Clarisse unconscious.

"Anybody got something else to say!?" Nobody answered, "No? Didn't think so. Now get outta here!" She demanded.

"Are you sure that was necessary?" Nico asked.

"Of course it was, she insulted Percy!" She said.

"You insult Percy all the time." He pointed out.

"Yeah but I'm always joking, she's not." She said.

Nico just shrugged, "Whatever you say."

Thalia gave him a death glare, but decided to let it go. Nico pointed out that they hadn't seen Percy in a while so they went off to look for him. When they found him, they saw him exiting out of Rachel's cabin looking like he'd just seen a ghost.

"What's wrong Percy?" Thalia asked.

"I got a prophecy." He answered.

"What was it?" Nico asked curiously.

"Because of his fatal flaw
One will break an ancient law
He will disobey the gods
To retrieve his loved one at all odds
When he exits nothing will be the same
Because onto him they'll shift the blame," He answered, "and I'd like you two to come with me."

They both just stared at Percy in awe.

"Why us?" Thalia asked.

"You two are the last people I trust, besides Grover, and he hates going underground." Percy stated.

They looked at each other then back at him, "We're in."

Percy smiled gratefully and embraced them in a hug. When he let go he told them the plan. The plan was they were to leave tomorrow right after breakfast.

"Alright guys, it's getting late let's go to bed, see you in the morning." Percy said.

Thalia nodded and started off towards the Artemis cabin. When she got inside and put her head on her pillow she fell asleep almost immediately. But being a demigod she was haunted with dreams, so fun times.

She woke up in a pitch black room with one light at the far end, she stood up, and started walking towards it. As she arrived she saw Camp Half-Blood burned down and dead campers littered on the ground. Then she woke up.

She woke up screaming and with tears streaming down her cheeks. When she collected herself she got out of bed, the rest of the Artemis cabin was still asleep, so she got up and headed off to the Poseidon cabin to get Percy. She looked over and saw Nico heading towards him as well, she waved him over and he came running.

"Nico, what are you doing?" Asked Thalia.

"Couldn't sleep." He stated without meeting her gaze.

She was about to question him but instead Percy just came outside.

"Let's go, I can't wait any longer." Percy said while walking off.

Thalia and Nico just looked at each other and shrugged then they started following him over the hill.

Authors Note

Sorry about taking so long to update. I just couldn't think of how or when to end this chapter. Excuses, excuses I get it. I also hate when authors don't update stories but I think there's only a couple more chapters of setting the plot up and then BOOM! I don't need to worry about it anymore. I hope you don't have a problem with the shortness of the chapter. Thanks for reading and leave a review!
