Summary
"Do not disappoint me daughter, I am watching you."
Looking back on it now, did she ever care about me, or was all she cared about her reputation? Would it be just if I gave her a piece of her own medicine, just for once?
Nine years is all I was ever allowed to be happy. Just nine. The day my father and stepmother died at the hand's of Zeus's wrath, was the day my life changed forever. I never knew who my mother was, and she never bothered with me before. I was left to go on the run, fending for myself for many years - homeless, an orphan in the wild. That was, until I met my family. Annabeth was like the little sister I never had. Thalia matched me in everything but wit. And Luke? He was more than a friend - he was a brother, maybe more, I could never be too sure.
Want to know what happened, just four kids alone in the wild? Maybe I'll enlighten you, maybe not. The choice depends on if I'll ever live to see another day.

Summary
"Darling Palladia, I was starting to worry where you'd run off to."
A full year since I chose to find my own way in life. A full year since I had denied the gods that fateful day by Thalia's tree. I don't regret my decision one bit.
I do regret it. Not the fact that I chose to side with Kronos, he was right - he had always been right. The gods needed to pay for what they've done to their children, what my mother had done to me. But the fact that I had left Annabeth alone in the dead of night, without a final goodbye. Her memory, and all of my sibling's memories, still haunt me no matter how much I try. Can't you see I'm doing this for us all, Annabeth? Wouldn't you be proud of me, finally standing up for something righteous and just, just as Mother always expected of us? Would you still love me? Do you still see me as your sister, after everything that's happened.
Gods, I hope you still do. I want to believe you still do. Just, please be honest with me dear sister, do you still care about me, just as I care for you? Do you still want to know what happened to me after I left you. I could tell you, if you'd like, but it's not a pretty one. I hardly doubt you'd want to be related to a traitor, after all...

Summary
"Don't die on me - please. I've lost my parents, lost my family - I can't lose you too."
I thought capturing Artemis would be vital to our cause, thought following Percy across the country would help allow me to show him the truth, thought showing Annabeth the reason why we fight would be enough for you. I thought I would be avenging your death, to make the gods pay for the injustice you had in those final moments. Now I don't know what to think of you. Now I find you alive and breathing, as though everything I've been through for you was all in vain. You're alive. Oh gods Thalia, you're alive.
And now you hate me. I only hope I can protect Luke left for you. I'll protect him for you, the boy who once loved you as more than a sister. The boy I see as my brother in all but blood, right? That's just what it is. Nothing more, nothing less.
I would ask if you want to know how I felt with the news of you being alive, younger, different - but I know you Thalia. But if I told you the truth, would you forgive us? I wouldn't hesitate to tell you, you know, just as long as you swore to not hate me for it - it just depends on if you still want me as your sister afterwards...

Summary
"No realm nor divine intervention may take you from me. You are my first and only love, Kassandra Vex. There is no me without you."
I don't know what to do anymore. I once thought the gods needs to pay for what they had done to their children, what my mother had done to me. Once thought that it would be just if I gave her a piece of her own medicine, just for once. But now I'm not too sure anymore. I once believed that what I was fighting for was right, but now - now I'm starting to have doubts.
I've lost my family to Zeus, lost my siblings to my own negligence. I refuse to lose anyone else to the Titan's wrath. Over my dead body. But you took that curse to save me Luke, gave up your own soul to host Kronos if it meant killing you inside - all to save me.
Please don't leave me Luke, I'll do anything as long as you're by my side. I can't do this without you if you go. Please, there must be another way. I love you. I want to tell you just how much I love you. I love you so badly it hurts, but I don't know if you want to hear me say it after what Kronos has done...

Summary
"Don't just stand there, fight. Or are you the daughter of mine you so claim to be?"
Look at me now mother - once you never even cared to acknowledge me. Once told me not to dissapoint you. I wonder what you'd say of me now? I don't care. Not when my squad's lives are on the line. Not when my Luke is on the line. You can damn yourself to hell for all I care after everything I've been through. Kronos is proof enough of how far you're willing to go for your own selfish goals.
When I can't sleep at night, when I can't bear to see my own reflection in the mirror anymore? What do I do when I'm paraded round like a trophy for Kronos to pet and manipulate? When my Luke - my love, my only, my everything - is gone to forces beyond my control?
But when people die and I'm all that's left in this world? What do I do when everything I stand for crumbles before me to age as old as time? What would my own mother say to me if she could look me in the face and ask me where I went wrong. If you asked nicely, I would tell you. If you even cared, then maybe I would tell you what you want to know. Trust goes both ways Athena - surely a goddess as wise as yourself would see that by now...
