Just a quick head cannon I though of while re-reading the PJO series. (For the millionth time) :)
Disclaimer: I. Own. Nothing.
Nico was in the Hades cabin packing his backpack for the underworld. He takes regular trips to the underworld to run errands for his father, Hades. He swears he's Hades servant.
On that though, he continued packing. Clothes, check. Toothbrush, check. Socks, check. He zipped up his bag and shouldered it as he headed for the corner of his room where the shadows were the darkest.
Just when he was about to enter the shadow, there was a knock at the door. He stopped abruptly. He just stood there, completely still. If it was important, they would knock again.
When nothing came, he smiled and unfroze. His arm had just gone in the shadow when the knocking started again. Except, this time, they kept knocking, and didn't stop. Nico frowned as he plopped his bag on the floor and walked towards the door. When I opened it, I came face to face with Annabeth Chase, breathing heavily, and holding a box.
"Annabeth?" I questioned.
She just shoved the box into my hands and said, "use these to play with Cerberus. He loves them," then sprinted off in the direction of the beach. Probably to see Percy.
I stared stunned at the fading figure of Annabeth running off, then looked at the box. I shrugged, and went back inside, closing the door behind me.
I walked over to my bed and opened it. What I found confused me.
The box was filled to the top with red rubber balls about the size of my fist.
I stared at them, then picked one up, chucked it into the air and caught it, not taking my eyes off the ball.
I looked back at the box.
"What the hell?"
Enjoyed? Please tell me. I know its short, but head cannons are so...
Review please!
Hei konei rā!
