Creed’s pov. “Thalia.” It wasn’t a greeting, just my way of grabbing her attention amidst the crowd that was surrounding her. Then again she probably already noticed me anyway. “Creed!” She said enthusiastically, she pulled away from the crowd of people who were already dispersing at my presence anyway and sidled up to me with a big grin on her face. No one should smile that much in the presence of someone that clearly wanted nothing to do with them. “We need to talk,” I interrupted before she could continue speaking. Thalia frowned for a moment before waving my words off like it was an pesky afterthought. “We’re at a party Creed. Why so serious all the time? Besides, I heard you brought the siren with you?” She glanced behind me as though expecting to see Cora hiding behind me. “
