Thalia

IT WAS A NORMAL ngày OF THE HUNT FOR THALIA. Just her, her awesome immortal buddies, and nothing could ruin this.

After so many years of searching, she had finally found Jason. That was partially a reason no one could ruin her ngày now...

How very wrong she was.


Jason returned to camp, tired, exhausted, but Victorious in defeating the giant. Of course, Hera would be responsible for this. Thalia was still trying to figure out how the girl Piper had managed to bring her brother back from the dead...

She shook her head, clearing her thoughts. Today was not a ngày to focus on the bad.

The campers had already enthusiastically started work on the Argo II - in any way they could. The Hectate lều, cabin was using magic to lift parts of the ship too heavy to be lifted bởi the Hephaestus lều, cabin onto the ship.

Thalia’s expression soured as she thought of that boy- Leo.

He was annoying, got on her nerves, and even worse liked her.

Basically, he was a rotten cupcake without sprinkles.

As she thought of that- one of the satyrs appeared, swinging his club madly yelling “Die cupcakes!”

What the Hades?

Thalia urged herself phía trước, chuyển tiếp through the woods, stumbling through brush and undergrowth until she was lost.

Absolutely perfect.

She sighed- she knew her life would have to get complicated now. What else to expect?

She tapped her shield nervously, when an owl hooted. Aegis sprang to life, startling most of the wildlife around her. A con sóc, sóc fell from a cây above her, and acted petrified.

Thalia felt bad- death to con sóc, sóc bởi a scary shield. She would have to make an obituary about that.

hoặc not.


She snorted at the idea- how ridiculous would that be? Her Những người bạn would think she had Mất tích her mind- like, seriously. Her brother would be wondering what is wrong with his sister, and her hunters would think she had gone a screw lose...

Shaking her head, she trudged through a small ditch, filled up with water almost up to her shins. “Ewwww!” she đã đưa ý kiến when she stepped into a portion of thick mud.

Her steps got smaller and shorter, as she stumbled around in the pit. Suddenly, her foot got stuck.

She shook it, trying to loosen it from the grip, and then her foot gut sucked in even more.

Oh shoot, a pit of quicksand. Thalia struggled more, panicking. The sand crept almost up to her waist, and she raised her bow above her head so she wouldn’t lose it.

She had fought monsters, demons, giants, titans, and evil wolves- and had no clue at all what to do when sinking in a giant ditch of mud.

She thought glumly: Here lies Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus, and lieutenant of Artemis. She was swallowed bởi a huge vat of sticky mud.

Thalia’s throat constricted as she began to lose feeling in her toes. The air was chilly, and it was a miracle she hadn’t Nữ hoàng băng giá to death already.

The mud was almost up to her chest now, and in a last một phút attempt she notched a ngẫu nhiên Mũi tên xanh and shot it at a cây in frustration.

Not knowing it, it was a grappling arrow. Her smile widened as she grabbed the end of it, and used the arrow’s leverage to slowly pull her out of the quicksand.

Her hands were burning as she stiffly managed to get out of the pit, and they were red from what looked suspiciously like rope burn.

Her fingers smarted as she placed her bow on her back. For a moment, she panicked that the pit of sand and doom had taken her shield, but it was still attached to her wrist.

Heading off in a new direction, she took a few thêm stiff steps to what would hopefully lead her back to camp.

bạn could never tell in these woods- anything was out here.

At this reminder, she put Aegis in front of her, and tried her best to be cautious and not just drop everything and scream like a girl in a horror movie out of the woods.

Something shook from behind her- Thalia notched her bow, and had it aimed directly for the noise.

A bird flitted anxiously and soared from a cây into the sky. Thalia let loose a sigh of relief, as her shoulders relaxed.

She took a step back, and tripped over a cây root. She fell backwards, putting her hands to the side to give her a softer landing.

She winced as she tried to get up, and found her hands scratched and bleeding. She scowled, and picked her bow up again to try to find help. The mud clung to her clothes as she tried beating it off with her hands and the side of her bow.
To no avail, her yêu thích Green ngày t-shirt and black skinny jeans were destroyed.

She took a few thêm steps, as something large and heavy followed her.

Thalia froze, not daring to breathe. Then she heard some scuttling, and then a roar.

Whatever that was, it was not looking for a squeaky toy to play with.

Thalia took off running, whipping past trees and bushes as the leaves came in front of her and whipped her face until it felt raw.

Thalia vs. The Wild would be a good reality ti vi show, she decided. Good enough các lượt xem for Americans to watch her butt get kicked when taking a leisurely stroll through the woods.

As it was Thalia vs. The Wild, Thalia was desperately losing this battle.

----

Thalia scrambled up a cây like a chipmunk, her breathing ragged and coming in short pants.

Below her, a group of strange cockroach/scorpion things surrounded her tree, and scratched at the sides.Thalia looked down, and immediately regretted it. She almost hurled, and the ground seemed to spin below her. She closed her eyes, and gripped the cây branch so hard her knuckles turned white.

After a while, the strange bọ cạp things (they were the size of a hummer- hoặc even bigger) slowly gave up on their prey (Thalias Graceius) and went off in pursuit of other things (Pandinus imperator.).

Thalia knew she wasn’t fast enough (like Road Runner) to escape the scorpions (in her case, the Coyote) and if she climbed down, there was a good chance she would get the opportunity to personally see the insides of a bọ cạp in the most painful unpleasant way.

She opened her eyes again, delighted in her head to find the scorpions had all vanished. Either that, hoặc waiting for her to climb down and then devour her..

Bad news- she was looking down.

“AHHHHH!” she screamed, and then froze in terror. Her body stiffened, and her grip loosened and she was falling from the hàng đầu, đầu trang of a tall pine tree.

She whipped past branches on the way down, and was flung from one branch to another as she scratched and flung her arms to grab onto something.

She hit a branch particularly hard, and then was flung backwards onto the ground onto her back.

Thalia groaned, her head spinning and her vision slightly fractured.

Thalia: 0
Mother Nature: 1

She stood up shakily, her legs quaking, and she leaned her body against the tree, trying to steady herself.

She blinked, trying to remove the dots from her eyes, and took a step.

Her foot received nothing but empty air, and then she was tumbling like a ball of snow down a hill.
She hit her head on a rock, and she kept tumbling. It was a miracle she didn’t break her neck on the twirls she was doing.

She almost gained her balance when she landed on her feet, but slipped and tripped again, and then she was back to falling down the hill.
Thalia heard between her bumps and landings a loud whistling coming from somewhere- in front of her-!

She tripped one last time, before she crashed into something softer than the ground, and definitely not as pleased.
Thalia’s head bounced over another one, her lips momentarily brushing against something soft and smooth.

Then she opened her eyes, her vision still fractured.

Leo was underneath her, his eyes wide open like Where the Hades did bạn come from? and her head was swimming. She saw three Leo’s making faces at her from all sides, and she swatted him away and put herself up to her knees.

“What the Hades?” Leo said. “What the- fell- into- what!?” he sounded so confused, and brushed off his pants. He was wearing an army áo khoác with a few stains around the edges, and his magical tool thắt lưng, vành đai hung loosely from his waist, and it jingled from the contents inside as he helped her up.

“Did bạn just- what- okay, I’m lost.” Leo said, seemingly incapable of forming words.
Thunder boomed around Thalia, as her silver glow around her faded. Thalia’s eyes widened, as she faced Leo angrily.

Never had Thalia expected this- now her patron- and sometimes she thought of Lady Artemis thêm like a mom- had abandoned because of this boy.

“What did bạn do!?” she screeched. “What have bạn done!?”

“Um, walking, and getting pushed over bởi flying girls tumbling down a hill.” Leo đã đưa ý kiến honestly. “So if bạn want to start snapping, save it!”

Thalia stepped back a little, taken aback. Leo had never snapped at her, usually trying to ask her for her number.

“Well, bạn have to help me!” Thalia said. “What am I going to do!?”

Leo shrugged. “You could give me your number.”

Thalia snarled, and took off towards the Athena lều, cabin for some Lời khuyên from her friend- who might know a thing hoặc two for some advice.

It looked as if Thalia would have been better off nghề viết văn the obituary for that poor squirrel- and now Thalia was in a total mess.

Maybe after this was all over, she could track down those scorpions and feed them with Leo.

Slightly cheered at the thought, she pushed the door open to talk to Annabeth.
