Thalia ducked down as a dragon snapped its jaws at her. She went to throw thespear at is as it's tail whacked the spear out of her hand.Thalia tried to summon her electrical power but failed as fear filled her normally boldbones. She backed up to a wall and ducked down.Someone ran in.He jumped up and slammed his sword into yeh Dragon's hide and ripped it out.Thalia looked up at the boy— at most two years older than her— and grabbed herspear."GO!" The boy yelled.Thalia's eyes popped open as the train had came to a halt. It was only a dream.She looked around carefully as the morning light shown in.Thalia stood up carefully as the doors to the train opened. She walked out carefullyand glanced around to see where she was.She picked the spear up and walked out of the train.Thalia looked around as the mortals didn't seem to notice her spear. She walkedaround carefully through Midtown and gave a small sigh as she turned the walkmanon.'For Whole the Bell Tolls' by Metallica started to play.She walked though Midtown and stopped in a pastry store and got some jelly filledcroissants.Thalia strode off and found a bench to sit at as she ate. Still, nobody seemed tonotice her spear. That seemed to puzzle her, but if they did see it?Thalia was eager to know— but didn't want to run from the cops.Well, she sorta did. Don't get that part wrong. Thalia Grace loved the thrill, but thatmeant getting sent home.Thalia finished her food and hit up and started to walk around. It was a nice breakfrom running around. Three days since she ran away, and she honestly liked the adventure and adrenaline. Sh had never felt the power she had till now.She walked into a small store and her eyes fell on a black leather jacket. She gave asmall smile and pulled out her wallet but stared.She could spend the money now, and have less money for food. Or, she could havethe money for food.Thalia gave a small sigh as she kept walking."RUN! GO!"Thalia looked up as a group of kids younger than her came running."RUN AWAY!""IN THE CAVE!""DRAGON!"They screamed as adults stared at them as if to say, 'These kids, so stupid'.Thalia clutched her spear and her electric blue eyes widened. She ruffled her shortpunky black hair and gave a smile.A dragon.Antaeus was sorta hard to defeat. How hard could a dragon be?Then she remembered her dream. A boy had ran in and helped save her. Only oneway to meet the boy… right?Thalia turned around and ran after the kids."Where's the dragon?!" Thalia asked firmly."The cave on the hill!" A little boy replied.A little girl nodded and gave a shudder. "Big one."Thalia nodded and clutched her spear as the kid's eyes widened."Whoa." They said pointing to her spear.Thalia looked at the kids as they seemed to see her spear. They could see it. "Where is the cave?""Ooo, up that hill, to the left, then go straight. Take a right into the woods, thenBAM!" Teh little boy said."Bam?""BAM!"Thalia nodded hesitantly but over all understood."Thanks kid!" Thalia said jumping up a running off.The kids looked at each other and shook their heads as Thalia ran off."This lady is insane.""I know right?"Chapter 5Thalia snuck into the cave, just barely making a sound. She tiptoed through the caveas her eyes fell on a sleeping dragon.What now? You made it this farThalia took a deep breath as her ADHD kicked in. She walked over to the dragon andgave a small smile as it slept. It was actually a kinda small dragon. It seemed muchbigger and scarier in her dreams. Now it was like a little toy."Not so big and scary huh?"Within an instant the dragon awoke and slammed its tail at Thalia. She lunged backinto a wall and groaned as she looked up.The dragon grew four times larger and its razor sharp teeth did as well."HOLLY SH—"Thalia threw her spear as lighting punched off of it onto the dragon. The dragonlooked like it had been slightly tickled before it charged at her. Thalia swore the swears to swears as she ducked down behind a rock as firesurrounded her.Thalia jumped up and electricity cackled in her eyes. She ran at the monster aslightning shot from her hands and she punched the monster.The dragon fell to its side as Thalia grabbed her spear and stabbed it through themonster's side. The dragon yelling a pain but that wasn't enough.The dragon jumped up and slapped Thalia back with it's wings as it cornered her."Father please." She prayed.Nothing.Thalia looked down as she knew she had to do this on her own. She jumped up andthrew a rock at its head for a second leaving it dazed.Thalia grabbed her spear from the monster's side and felt electricity leave her body.It went through the spear into the monster's body. The dragon roared fire as itslammed the spear from her hands.It knocked Thalia back as a rock came down from the roof's cave and landed on herleg.She scared in pain as she shoved the rock off of her leg. Thalia pushed her handstogether hoping to make a spark but her body was full of fear.She couldn't get her powers to work. She looked up as fear paralyzed her as thedragon opened its mouth."HEY FIRE FACE! OVER HERE YOU BIG DUMMY!"Thalia looked up as the boy from her dreams charged in, screaming like an idiot. Hejumped up and slammed his sword through the dragon's leg and ran to Thalia'sspear. He tossed it to her and looked up."GO!""I can't!" Thalia snapped trying to get up on her broken leg.The boy swore and ran over, dodging fire. He grabbed Thalia and she wrapped anarm around him as they ran out of the cave.The dragon came to follow and Thalia felt the fear leave her. Nobody was going to mess with her, or this random guy who came and saved her.She felt energy fill her body as her leg suddenly felt healed. She let go of the boy andturned around and clenched her fists. Lightning cackled in her eyes as they became apure electric blue. Lightning sparks shot off her body as she looked up.The clear sky suddenly got cloudy and stormy as more electricity cackled aroundThalia Berle Grace."GET AWAY!"Lightning shot from her body and out of the sky as the dragon as it roared out inpain.An explosion of golden dust erupted from the monster as Thalia stood there. Herbody suddenly felt weak as her broken leg became broke again.Thalia fell over as the boy ran over."THAT. WAS. AMAZING!""T-Thanks."She looked at him carefully as her heart dropped. Her hand blue eyes and blondehair. He had peachy skin that made Thalia tear up.He looked like an older version of Jason Grace, her deceased brother."W-Who are you?" She asked with a tear running down her cheek."Luke Castellan."
