What if?

Thalia and the hunters

"Help me," a boy croaked. His messy black hair was covered in dirt, as his face was covered in monster dust and blood as he limped up the hill.

The camp he had run to looked shocked, all of the faces of the demigods were shocked as they ran up to help the limping hero.

Although all ran fast, there were a few that ran fastest.

One of them was the healer of the camp, his blond hair  waving as he ran to help the injured teenager. Besides loving to heal people, he was good friends with the injured boy.

The other was a curly haired elvish boy, one who had known him only for a few years but had become close with him over the quest to save the world.

There was one that ran faster than them all though, starting in the back and shoving campers untill she was at his side.

She let her blond curls fall in her face as she looked at the demigod in front of her, fearing more than she ever had.

"Oh gods Percy, please don't die on me," she whispered shakily at the collapsed demigod.

The good new is, he didn't die then. And the camp hoped he wouldn't die soon. They just needed to wait for the demigod son of the sea to come out of his coma.

A coma placed by the three fates.

Maybe that's where this story starts, in the blackness surrounding the son of the Poseidon.

"Peruses Jackson," three voices said, causing the dominos to look around.

"Am I dead?" Percy asked, looking around at the blackness.

"No, young hero. But you will have a chance at a new life,"

"What?"

"We have heard your thoughts, your doubts, your what ifs,"

"I don't have any what ifs. I'm having a great demigod life,"

"So you don't wonder what would happen if nico never got over you?" One voice said.

"Or if you had stayed with calypso," another stayed.

The final voice gave the most true and hurtful example, "and the most frequent question that pops in your head, what if you had joined Kronos when he offered,"

The demigod looked around, "so what? I think about a few things, it's not like I wish I had done it,"

"But you do," the three fates said. "And because of that, and everything we've put you through, you will be able to see the outcomes of each event, and chose your own choices once again,"

"So what? I'll just say one of my thoughts and doubts and you'll take me there. Like, if Thalia had stayed at camp and not joined the hunters?"

The son of posiedon was suddenly transferred back to the moment when thalia had accepted the offer.

'Oh, so that how this works' Percy thought you himself

"Thalia, how would you like to join my hunt?" Lady atermes asked.

Thalia gave a glance to her father, than at me and Annabeth, and then back to atermes. "I'm honored, but I'm going to have to decline,"

"Although I don't understand, I respect your decision," the goddess said, before the three demigods were flashed back to camp half blood.

'Why'd she turn it down though?' Percy asked the fates in her head.

'The reasons she had weren't made up, they are just what she chose to listen to. Maybe you should ask him' the fates answered the demigod back.
