"But, but, you just can't leave the Hunters like this!" Artemis shouted at me her mouth hanging open. I smirked at her and twirled around. She crossed her arms across her chest and glared at me. She was disappointed I was leaving her and the Hunters.
"Oh but I can. Watch me," I whispered and smirked at her. When her mouth dropped open again I turned around and started walking away, but turned around and smiled. "You might wanna close your mouth. You could catch flies," I laughed and winked at her enraged expression. I walked away from archery in search of the one person wanted to be with at the moment.
On the way back to the pavilion I ran into Violet. When she saw me she smiled and ran up to me. When she saw my expression she raised her eyebrows. I kew exactly what she meant so I just nodded at her and she squealed hugging me.
"Thank you so much for your advice! I don't think I would have chosen the right person without it!" I told her hugging her again. Violet was really a good friend and I hoped I could stay in touch with her after I was done with the Hunters. She laughed and hugged me back.
"Glad to be of service," she said laughing. I smiled and stepped back. I was about to say something when I heard my name.
"Thalia!" somebody yelled from the top of Half-Blood Hill. I whipped around and found Apollo in all his glory standing there. My face broke out into a breathe taking smile and my heart skipped a beat. I knew I had chosen right.
"Apollo!" I yelled running up the hill. When I reached him I ran into his open arms. He hugged me to his chest and I laughed and looked up at him. There was worry, confusion, and love in his eyes.
"So what's your choice?" he asked me nervously. I laughed and looked at him seriously.
"The Hunters," I said. His face fell and he let me go backing away. I laughed and he looked up at me, confused at my expression. "I'm just kidding! It's you, silly!" I said laughing. His face lit up and he smiled the biggest I've ever seen him make. He stepped towards me and picked me up spinning me around in the air. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck when he set me down. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.
"Don't ever do that to me again," he breathed and I just chuckled and looked up at him. He looked back at me steadily still smiling. "How did you pick?" he whispered and I just grinned.
"It's always been you, ever since the beginning," I said and he smiled at me. I grabbed his shirt collar and brought his face down to mine. His lips crashed onto mine and I could feel him smiling. He pulled me against him tighter as he continued to kiss me. A couple moments later I pulled back from Apollo gasping for air. He smirked at me and pulled me in for another kiss. When he pulled back her bumped his forehead to mine. I smiled and closed my eyes.
"I love you Thalia, forever," he said smiling. I looked him straight in the eyes.
"I love you too Apollo, forever and always," I said and he kissed my nose. I giggled and jerked out of his
grasp running from him. He smiled mischievously and started chasing after me. I screamed and ran faster.
Violet was right and I took her advice.
Hold onto your loved ones.

When I was in the Hunters I was immortal. When I quit Artemis took away my immortality. Apollo was furious at first. He wanted to spend forever with me and he couldn't do that when I wasn't immortal like he was. He ignored Artemis for more than a month only talking to her when he begged her to give me back my immortality. She refused. The only way I would get my immortality back was if I left him and went back with the Hunters.
That's when Apollo turned to the Gods.
We were currently walking through the front doors of the Empire State building. We were going up to Olympus so Apollo could ask for immortality. We walked into the elevator and pushed the button. We started going to the top. I was nervous to see all the gods again but mostly Artemis. I grabbed Apollo's hand and squeezed it for comfort. He smiled down at me the doors opened.
We walked through the streets of Olympus to the main throne room. When we walked inside I saw all the gods up from their seats in some kind of argument. Apollo cleared his throat and all pairs of eyes of the other ten Olympian gods turned on me. I shuffled closer to Apollo and squeezed his hand. When Zeus, my dad, saw me he smiled and winked.
"Well, well if it isn't Apollo's little girlfriend. Thalia right?" Ares asked me and I nodded shyly, blushing from the nickname. He just laughed and looked the other way. I looked at Aphrodite and she smiled making a heart with her hands just like she did the first time Apollo asked me out. I smiled and stuck my toung out at her. She was good.
"Well is there something you need Apollo?" my dad asked Apollo as all the gods sat down on their thrones. I blushed as Apollo looked down at me and wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me to his side.
"Well when Thalia quit the Hunters," I looked to Artemis when he said this and saw a glare on her face, "Artemis took away her immortality. I want to be with her forever and I can;t do that if she isn't immortal," he said smiling at me.
"So you're asking for us to make my daughter immortal for you?" Zeus asked skeptically. I stepped forward out of Apollo's grasp and looked at all ten of them.
"Please. I really do love him and want to be with him forever like he does. Please," I said and Zeus looked at me for a minute before looking at the rest of the gods. Then he sighed and smiled at me.
"We will take a vote. I vote yes. You better take care of her and not break my daughter's heart Apollo or you'll regret it," Zeus said threateningly. I giggled at my dads protectiveness.
"Yes. I always love a happy ending," Aphrodite said smiling at me.
"Yes of course," Poseidon said smiling at me and I silently thanked him with my eyes.
"Sure," Ares said looking at Aphrodite.
"I'll say yes to my daughters best friend," Athena said winking at me.
"Yes of course," Demeter said.
"Sure," Hephaestus said not paying attention looking at his throne.
"Yes of course. I'd love to see the two get married," Hera said happily looking at Apollo and I. I blushed and looked at Apollo who winked at me.
"I say yes. I know Thalia was a good friend of Luke's," Hermes said smiling.
"Sure I guess," Dionysus mumbled.
Finally we looked at Artemis. She was glaring at Apollo with hate.
"No," she said firmly, but her answer didn't matter because it was ten to one. She huffed as Zeus smiled and spoke up.
"Well it looks like Thalia will be granted immortality. I won't give it to you right away because I want to make sure you and Apollo don't break up and I give it to you for no reason," Zeus said smiling. I broke out into a smile. Apollo picked me up and spun me around laughing. There were 'awws' from the girls and laughs from the boys. I smiled up at my dad and looked at all of them.
"Thank you, all of you," I said smiling as Apollo wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
"Yes, thank you," Apollo said looking at them. We said our goodbyes and walked out of the throne room. As soon as we walked out Apollo grabbed me and pulled me against his chest. I giggled and looked at him. He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. I smiled as I kissed him. I knew I would never get tired of this. When he pulled back he looked me in the eyes.
"I love you forever Thalia," he said smiling.
I grinned at him and kissed his cheek, "I love you too," I said as he pulled me into another kiss.
That's the way we would be. Together. Forever and always.
* The End *
Oh. My. Gods.
IT'S FINISHED! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
So basically this is my first ever finished story and I'm so freakin happy! I'm like so surprised I didn't start crying when I wrote this. Even if this story was short it was like a part of me and I'm so sad to be finished writing this! *cry* I think it might actually hit me later and I'll start tearing up lol xD
Anyways I know I mentioned I might do an epilogue but I decided that I don't want to. The story wants to finish right here and so it will. But I was thinking about doing a *cough* wedding *cough* scene as a one-shot :O lol look out for that ;)
As for a sequel (I know some of you will ask for it so I will explain) A sequel is possible. I am strongly considering one and I already have ideas whirling around in my head. It's a 50/50 chance. If I get a lot of requests for a sequel I will do one so leave a review and vote on my poll for one and I'll start working.
I'll post an author note to this story when and IF the sequel is posted ;)
