Grover

At Olympus

 * Thalia's POV

Artemis came up to me. "Thalia," she said, "Daughter of Zeus. Will you joiin the Hunt?" I thought it over. if I did, I wouldn't be the Child of the Prophecy. I'd be 15 forever. I'd swear off boys, never marry, have kids, or teach Kronos his lesson for taking over Luke. "No," I said. They all seemed shocked at this, especially Artemis. "Well, Annabeth Chase," Artemis said, "Daughter of Athena. Will you join Hunt?" Annabeth answered immediately, "No," Percy smiled, knowing he can live with Annabeth. It looked like Artemis wanted to strangle us for saying no. "Well then," she calmly said, even though everone in the room could tell she was angry and dissappointed, "I shall go to our camp. Maybe I can find someone there willing to join."

After we left Olympus Percy looked at me, "Why did you say no?" Annabeth was by his side, ready to ask the same thing. "I was a tree for 5 years. I have to make up for lost time. Plus," I confessed, "I'm gonna make Kronos pay possessing Luke." One look at Annabeth's face and I could tell she agreed to this. Even Percy, who barely know Luke, agreed.

Battling Kronos

 * Thalia's POV

Luke slashed at me. I kept screaming at Luke for him to snap out, to come back to us, but Kronos was stronger, it was just me and Kronos now, Grover was knocked out, Percy was trying to heal Annabeth because Kronos had hit her arm and was now defenseless, and the new Lieutenant of Artemis' Hunters was now some girl from Demeter's Cabin who was bleeding badly. I must of stopped fighting for a second, because next thing I knew, I was tripping over Grover as he muttered about tin cans. Luke seemed to notice the fear in my eyes and snapped out for a second, "Thalia? What are you doing on the ground?" He reached to give me a hand, but I knew it wouldn't last, so I got my bearings and ran.

The Decision

 * Thalia's POV

Kronos had sliced pieces off of the thrones and was now going crazy. "Die!" He kept shouting, "I shall kill you and destroy the gods!" Eventually Percy came in with Annabeth. They watched as my spear snapped, sending electricity everywhere. As Percy was battling Kronos I Annabeth came to me and gave me her knife. "Use it. It's not that great, but it's a weapon." I nodded and turned to Kronos/Luke as he glowing, he looked at me. I saw Percy on the ground, a giant gash in his side. Kronos, no Luke said, "Thalia, the knife." I stood there the knife in hand, looking at Luke. If I gave him the knife, he'd die, but the world would be saved. If I didn't Luke would live, but, we'd all be dead.
