Chapter 1

I wake to hushed voices whispering around me. Am I going crazy or is someone actually there? "You wake him you're indestructible right?" The first voice says it sounds soft, delicate almost, female. "Yeah but that doesn't mean I have a death wish!" This voice is lower, rougher almost, male. They continue back and forth arguing until I can no longer take it.

"You both woke me what do you want?" I ask as I sit up in my bed. I look up to see my best friend and hero of Olympus Percy Jackson, beside him his girlfriend of almost 2 years Annabeth Chase. They look frightened almost or is it surprised?

"We have a quest and have to leave in one hour." Annabeth states.

"And you're here because...?" My eyebrows furrow usually Percy chooses Grover to go with him, so why are they here. My confusion must be obvious because Annabeth quickly speaks again.

"You're to come with us, Rachel requested you specifically." Again I'm confused. I'm almost never selected for a quest and if so I would have had to beg to go. Plus Rachel Elizabeth Dare a.k.a the oracle of Camp Half-Blood never calls me by name as far as quests go.

"Uhmmm...Ok then...let me just get ready" they exit the room leaving me alone.

I'm used to being alone though. I'm different than them, a freak amongst those who are already freaks. Sighing I get up and stretch. Looking around the black cabin I grad the closest clean black shirt and jeans. Stuffing my feet into my converse high tops I grab my sword and a knife and put some nectar and ambrosia into a backpack along with water, poptarts and a few golden drachmas. Checking for anything I may have left behind I exit my cabin and head to the Big House where I see Percy, Annabeth and Chiron our activities director and local centaur.

"There you are! Now that we are all here we should let our friend here know what's going on." Chiron says. He looks slightly worried, a strange expression for our easy going teacher.

"Something really powerful is attracting a lot of monsters near camp. We think it may be Oceanus but we aren't sure." Percy said looking a little uneasy. I would be too if the Titan of my father's domain were stirring up trouble.

"Whatever it is,its powerful and needs to be stopped." Annabeth said.

"Ok then lets go." I said a little impatiently. I was being left out of the loop something I was used to, but never ceased to annoy me when it came to important things. The three of them exchanged a brief glance but went down to the beach with me slightly behind them. As we walked people stared at us...well me. I was used to staring but I preferred being ignored.

Waiting for us were three hippocampi. This wasn't going to be an easy ride. As soon as they saw me they got a nervous look. Rolling my eyes I listened as Percy convinced them to let me ride.

"If you tell me where we're going I can just shadow-travel." Yes, I can shadow travel its a perk to being the son of Hades.

"We don't know Nico, we're hoping Percy will be able to sense the location better in the water." Annabeth said in a soothing voice. Whether to help calm the hippocampus I was to ride or soothe me I wasn't sure. Just then Percy called us over and we took off to Zeus knows where.

"Do you guys feel that?" Percy called to us over the roar of the waves. I didn't need to be Percy to feel that something very bad was happening in the water.

"Yeah I think we're close!" Annabeth called back. No less than two minutes later a small island appeared in front of us.

Walking up the shore of the island I looked at the volcano. Every now and again steam would come out. The island seemed deserted, the jungle dark, probably hiding some pretty nasty monsters that want us dead. Oh joy.

"I've never seen this on a map before. Do you think that it's just a coincidence that monsters are drawn here?"

I snorted. "In our lives there's no such thing as a coincidence Anna." She shot a glare at me but I only shrugged. It was true, demi-gods never have a coincidence in there lives, just fate and the cruelty of the gods. "Do you hear that?" I question suddenly.

Percy and Annabeth are now on high alert, their hands on their weapons ready for battle. "It sounds like...singing." Percy says. We all move towards the sound.
*"Y hago in llamamiento para ti, ven a mi"

There is no words to describe the purity and beauty of the song. A lullaby of sadness with a voice worthy of being crafted by Apollo, god of music, himself. I'm paralyzed until the last note drifts to a close and I can't help but feel sad that the song has come to its end.

"Nico...Nico...Nico...Nico!" Annabeth screams in my face. "Behind you, look out!" But before I can figure out what she's saying something hits me in my head with enough force for my vision to blur and my head to bleed.

Turning around I grab my sword made of Styian iron and slash at the space in front of me. By the hissing sound I made contact with a monster. For the first time I notice that we are completely surrounded by monsters.

Putting my sword in my left hand and grabbing a dagger in my right I slash and stab my way through monsters. Claws scrape my back and arms but I don't stop. That is until I hear a blood curling scream.

In the hands of a giant Cyclopes is the most beautiful girl ever. Possibly more beautiful than lady Aphrodite herself. She has soft golden honey brown skin, a petite fragile frame and silky black hair that falls to her waist . My heart beats faster, i cant catch my breath and my body feels like lead. I have to save her.

Gathering up the rest of my strength I summon the largest skeleton army ever. I slash at the monsters legs, throw my dagger into the knee of the cyclops only to be hit in my chest. Ow, that's gonna hurt in the morning. I get back on my feet and slice at the monster's shin. He roars and screams out "I'll get you son of Hades!" as he turns into yellow dust.

The girl falls but somehow lands on her feet as graceful as a cat. She storms over to me and the last thing I notice before blacking out is her beautiful voice shouting at me "you idiot I had it under control!"

So that's chapter 1. Review tell me what you think it's my first fanfic so please don't be mean.

Pooh bear loves you!
