Love Story: Thalia and Luke

13

"This is crazy!" Thalia exclaimed, "Do you have a death wish?"

Luke looked at her and grinned, "No I just feel like killing a couple monsters."

Thalia rolled her eyes, "You're going to get us both killed because who usually has to come in a save you ass?"

"Look if you don't want to come then stay here, I'll be out in a minute." Luke rolled his eyes at his younger companion.

Thalia glared at him, "I swear to Zeus if you go in there and need help I will personally kill you."

"Is that a threat or a promise?" he asked.

"Both." Thalia rolled her eyes.

"Well I'll see you on the other side." Luke grinned and ran into the cave before the raven haired girl could stop him.

"He's definitely got a death wish." she muttered before following after him.

Soon enough Thalia found the blonde son of Hermes running for his life from some bats...common little bats. No monsters were around whatsoever...he was running from tiny little bats. Once out of the cave Thalia and Luke stood there for a moment in silence.

"You were scared of bats?" Thalia asked trying not to burst out in laughter.

Luke raised an eyebrow, "So what if I was...what if they were vampire bats?"

Thalia couldn't contain her laughter any longer, "You're...afraid...of...vampires?"

Luke glared at her, "I never said I was afraid of vampires."

"Then why did you run from the bats?" she asked she still couldn't compose herself.

"I don't like bats." Luke muttered.

Thalia was still laughing uncontrollably, "That is hilarious...Luke Castellan, son of Hermes and Camp leader is afraid of bats." she imitated his voice when she said his title.

Luke looked over at the seventeen year old who was practically rolling on the ground laughing so hard there were tears beginning to form at the edges of her eyes.

"May I take a moment to remind you that Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, and former Lieutenant of Artemis's Hunt is afraid of heights." Luke mimicked her voice.

Thalia was still laughing, "A fear of heights is a more legit fear than a fear of bats, how many people have died from falling at a high elevation compared to bats."

Luke looked at her and he hated to admit it but she sort of had a point, "Whatever you're still afraid of your father's domain."

"Still not as funny as a fear of bats." Thalia laughed.

Luke rolled his eyes and then began to tickle his girlfriend...seems odd considering that they were in the middle of the woods and Thalia was still laughing about Luke's fear of bats...this was definitely something Thalia wasn't going to let him live down.
