CH 25 Mixed Emotions

( Third p.o.v )

The group has split up agreeing to meet at Nyx's palace. The plan they had set was going well until Annabeth tripped causing her to stray from her group. Now with an extra hand to look after wrath must change his plans a bit. But first, he would like everyone to finish healing up for the rest of the journey.

Annabeth was fine except for Jackson's curse and a sprained ankle. Thalia should be able to walk in the morning after the three of them get up in the morning. The question of the day is will Wrath be fine when he gets up. Gunter and Calypso have already taken care of their scrapes and bruises.

( Wrath's p.o.v )

I was dreaming peacefully as I slept between the two girls. My dream was just a bunch of memories of Thalia and I. Right now I was remembering the time Thalia slept in my arms while we were doing a side quest. We couldn't light a fire in fear of monsters as we were stuck in the woods. I gave Thalia my jacket because it was so cold out but it wasn't enough for her. So during the middle of the night, she woke me up by cuddling into my side.

It felt nice being here again holding her in my arms. I remember staying up watching her after she woke me. I wanted to protect her so nothing could harm her while she slept peacefully. I looked at her cute face and something felt off this time. I felt a dark feeling it was ruining my memory. Thalia started squirming it wasn't something I remembered. Then she stopped and I was looking into her electric blue eyes. Then everything went black when I felt a searing pain in my cheek.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" My eyes shot wide open to see a fuming Thalia pacing around. "Love wake, up I could use your help here." Calypso stirred from her sleep, " What's going on love?" Thalia was getting  Impatient," Someone better start talking here!" Her shouting seems to have finally get Calypso up. "Oh shit, she was up first, " said a surprised Calypso.

" Someone explain now," Thalia raged once more. "Well, we went to check up on you before going to go bed for the night. Calypso thought we should move you to a bed. So I carried you up and put you here. But as I tried leaving you... you wouldn't let go and ask me not to leave." "No, you're lying I wouldn't ask a male to stay," Thalia shouted at me. "Thalia wait he's telling the truth. I swear on the Styx, " said Calypso. Thalia's eyes soften as nothing happened  to her, " Alright fine, I'm sorry I was probably dreaming of him." I pretended not to know what she was talking about. "Who are you talking about?" I asked. She looks at me sadly," Percy Jackson." She left the room after that leaving me with Calypso and my thoughts.

When we went downstairs Gunter was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for everyone while Thalia sat on a stool. "Morning my boy why don't you make Thalia some of your tea. She didn't have a good night." Gunter smiled at me," Sure thing father' good morning by the way to all of you." He started making the tea as Calypso took over the cooking. "Is it Ok to ask what happen?" Gunter said to Thalia. She met my eyes before answering, "Sure. I was dreaming of him. It was me and Percy doing a mission together. I had slept in his arms that night because it was so cold and we couldn't light a fire. We didn't want to attract monsters."

He set down the tea in front of her, "I'm sure he misses you too." She hugged Gunter as he went around the bar to sit next to her. "I'll go get Annie. We need to discuss where we are going next." I left them going upstairs to get the sleeping blonde. "This gonna be a long day, " I mumbled to myself.

( Gunter's p.o.v )

"The dream felt so real. Like I was back in his arms. I could even smell him, just like the beach it was so calming, " she cried. I held her tight as I meet Calypso eyes. She was struggling to hold the truth in just like me. But we know by father will tell her when he's ready. I let her continue to hug me until we heard Annabeth and my father coming down.

"How are you feeling Thalia? Did you dream of him again?" asked Annabeth. "Why do you even care anyway? You didn't even love him," she hissed. I saw Annabeth frown at Thalia. "Maybe I didn't but I still care for you." "Then you should've thought about that before you hurt him. Now let's eat and plan." Annabeth let the conversation die as Calypso served everyone food to eat.

We are as father explained where we were going first. Unfortunately, the path we had to take was Tartarus wolf territory. "I have something I need to check up on as we go through the territory, " father said. "What would that be?" asked Annabeth. "If it ends affecting you then ill gladly let you know. Until then you can shut or find your own way out of here, " Father smiled. She rolled her eyes at him, "I've been down here before you know." This made fathers mood darken.

"You got stuck down here with a hero. You couldn't do it alone trust me. Besides things have changed a lot over the fifty thousand years down here. You would've been dead a long time ago if it wasn't for the help you receive. You might be smart but you're not that smart. You're parasitic smart you have to use others to make it. Your pride gets in the way of you making it on your own. So for once in your shitty life shut up and follow some orders without question, " shouted my fuming angry father.

We could all see his eyes turning a bright dark purple. Calypso slowly made her way to him as we were all too scared to move from the amount of power seeping from him. "Dear please calm down. Your scaring Gunter my love. She's not even worth it, " she said softly. I saw my fathers eyes change back after a minute. "Pack up its time to leave, " he said firmly. I made my way up to get my weapons and some armor I keep in there. Knowing father this was going to be a dangerous path we're gonna take.
