Running is all I know. I've been running my whole life. Running away from bullies, running from my responsibilities, and now, running from my family. I would already be dead if it weren't for Luke Castellan and Thalia Grace. We were all half-bloods. Only half mortal. My mother was Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. Thalia was the only living child of Zeus, the god of thunder, and Luke was a son of Hermes, the messenger of the gods. Being half bloods gives us a strong scent. A scent that attracts bloodthirsty monsters at every turn. We run because if we ever stop, they'll catch us and kill us. We run because there's no other options. Nowhere for people like us. Not a safe place in the world. So we keep running.
Disclaimer: Any recognizable characters (such as Thalia, Annabeth, Luke, Artemis, and Zoë Nightshade) belong to the genius, Rick Riordan. The rest of the characters were either created by me or suggested by friends.
Author's Note: In parts of the Percy Jackson series, things were revealed about Annabeth's time before she came to Camp Half-Blood, but I changed quite a few of them to make a more interesting and unique story.

We all know Thalia is the daughter of Zeus who heroically sacrificed herself in order for her friends to reach safety.
We know she's a powerful demigod who, after being turned into a pinetree came back to life and took action to help her equals.
We know she saved the world by renouncing greatness, delaying the day of the fateful choice that could lead to its doom or to the doom of its enemy.
We know she's the older sister of an equally powerful demigod.
We know she's the daughter of a woman whose habits led to her own demise.
But who was Thalia? How was the life journey that brought her to the peak of half-blood hill before a horde of monsters?

This is my take on Thalia's backstory. This story is my own fanfiction, however certain events were created by the author of series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and "Heroes of Olympus" Rick Riordan. All characters in this book are also his creation, I have simply imagined how her story may have carried out and added a little twist of my own.
