Thalia ๏̯͡๏

Christmas Day. I woke up and went to get breakfast and I got the hugest shock of my life in the living area. Jason already out of the cabin.

Luke was there. And it wasn't his ghost.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Beryl ^o^

We got to the door of the cabin and I saw a guy in there. Too old to be Jason and Thalia saw him and he must've been gone for a while or something.

She knocked him over in a hug.

But she was just overjoyed to see this guy. He was a year or two older than her. Not a huge difference. I came alone today. If Derick came she'd kill me for good reasons. We ended up getting divorced anyways. I was on the way to do the final filing and make it official when the crash happened.

Maybe five minutes later after that little scene I decided to knock and she walked over. Don't worry, there was an open window. How I saw all this. And she opened the door and did recognize me.

I expected her to yell. I expected her to scream. And holler and have a royal fit.

I don't know what goes on here. Where her dad keeps her, but it sure as hell changed her.

But in a good way.

Because she wasn't pissed. She didn't scream, she didn't holler. She wasn't even mad at all.

My daughter for the first time in years, over 10 years, hugged me. And she hugged me like I was the last thing keeping her alive.

Over and over again she kept saying the typical Im sorry. I should've never blah blah blah crap.

"Thalia." I said, looking at my daughter. Who was 22 now and all grown up, damn. "Calm down. Its okay. I was dead for like half of it, anyways."

"Well so was I but still." Thalia tells me. "I left in the middle of the night without a note or anything. I never considered what might happen to you when I did that."

"And what made you and Jason so apt to call?" I question.

"I didn't know about that until yesterday." She was honest. "I told him about you. He somehow got your name and number. If I knew you were alive I would've called. Probably like a year ago."

And suddenly sirens went off.

^o^
Thalia ×∆×

Battle sirens.

"What's the sirens...?" My mom got confused.

"Get inside." I tell her. "And stay in there until either Jason or I come get you. Understand?"

"Yeah, but-"

"Mom, get in the cabin." I tell her. "Luke! Get your ass out here before I go in to drag you out!"

"I'm here!" He claimed, coming out of the cabin. "Gods. Calm down."

We charged into battle and afterwards I told Jason to go get Mom and see her while I was at the meeting.

Of course Percy can't talk and today a lot of people came back from the dead from over the four years leading up and during the Titan War. Including Silena and Beckendorf and Castor.

"You never did talk a lot." Castor comments. He had come the second summer. He was new when I was brought back and Percy just looks at him.

"What?" Castor asks.

Its silent. He doesn't realize he actually can't talk.

"Can you not talk or something?" Luke wasn't here when he stopped talking. He had a right to ask. And Percy just shook his head. He hasn't been able to talk in years.

"No, he can-" Nico stopped Connor there.

"He literally can't." Nico told the son of Hermes. "His vocal chords were taken out. Years ago."

Percy looks at Annabeth, pissed.

He looked ready to jump her.

"What?" She asked and his eyes got larger. In total disbelief.

In the next 10 minutes about 8 or 9 people were ready to kill each other so we ended the meeting.

Christmas Day. After the meeting I grabbed my parents presents, so did Nico, and we headed there. They said be there at 3. It was 2:30. So we'd be about on time.

We got there and I don't know what the hell Gabe went through. But he asked if I can get him a drink.

There was no alcohol in the fridge. Or freezer.

So I gave him a cream soda, expecting him to be pissed.

And he wasn't.

His whole family was over. Since we moved into an actual house two years ago, it was a pretty large place. Everyone was over. Even his two kids he hasn't been able to see in years because their Mom and them moved to Mexico. One is 20, the other is 14. My parents started dating when I was 5. Got married when I was turning 7.

Gabe's kids were spending the night for a few nights and one of them made a remark to me. The older one, Amanda.

"He doesn't talk a lot, does he?" She asked me. Percy was passed out, so was Nico. It was around midnight.

"He can't." I explained. "Somehow his vocal chords got seriously messed up a few years ago, so they had to take them out. But he took it pretty well."

It was mid-August. Percy's birthday was today. August 18.  We were both laying in bed, just relaxing before we had to go and get food. Quite a few people didn't come back this year. Being they had college in the fall.

Usually when I say things like good morning or whatever to him when we're in a position he can't really do anything where I can see him return in, he usually ends up mouthing it.

I woke up and he was already up, still in bed. Ever sing Gabe got sober the abuse stopped all together. So his depression was pretty much gone, and I have him a little morning kiss.

"Good morning." I tell my boyfriend.

"Morning."
