Hey guys so I'm back to writing after my first failed attempt. Looking back at my writing makes me want to die out of embarrassment. So I'm starting fresh. This is after the last Olympian.

Percy Jackson P.O.V
Percy sighed and ran a hand through his hair out of nervousness. Who could blame him, after the titan war people were still grieving after the lost ones. Especially Percy, no one knew that he still blamed himself over all these losses. If he had been more quick, smarter, organized and focused he could have saved them all, but no Percy had to be oblivious to everything. Percy scowled and glared at the ground, the glass of water beside him started to shake and turn icy, freezing up, a new ability he learned after the war (long story) Percy forced himself to calm down, letting the water melt back into liquid. He was currently at the mess hall for dinner. Watching the new campers that came today being claimed. Percy smiled, at least one good thing that came from the war was his wish for the gods to claim all their kids at the age of thirteen. Now there were kids found and were being claimed all over the place. So many new cabins were being build that it kept all campers on their feet, especially the Athena and Hephaestus cabin building and designing new cabins.
He had to say, both cabins did a very good job. The new cabins looked amazing with new designs and features that now the old campers envied the new campers that were claimed. Percy smiled at that thought, in his opinion the Hecate cabin wad the coolest from all of them. Once you entered a whole display of fireworks set off, not just any kind of fireworks, these fireworks turn into anything you wish to see and they follow you for an hour. Percy grinned, going to the Hecate cabin always made his day. He clapped along with everyone as a child of Nike the goddess of victory was claimed, the girl happily skipped to her table. Although all the claiming was good and all, it was kind of alarming that if he never made that wish all these people would have never been claimed, found or recognized. Percy was glad he made that wish. But there still was a nagging feeling in his mind that something was off. Over the past month everything was peaceful, too peaceful in his case. Call him paranoid but after plenty of years with monsters jumping at you from every corner, no blame on him. He felt like everything was just to fake like glass, one crack the whole thing shatters. Percy felt so frustrated he banged his head on the table. He didn't get it, everyone was happy why couldn't he be? He was cut of his musings when a voice called " Percy?" Said persons head shot up only to see his cousin, Nico di Angelo.
Nico, in his opinion was a pretty mysterious guy, he wasn't geeky like before or the angry boy that jumped to conclusions. He was indeed a mystery, but no matter Percy still considered him as a brother and his best friend and hoped Nico considered him as his brother and best friend as well. Nico always looked like he woke up and still had an obsession with black. Whenever Percy teased him about being a Goth, he made it quite clear that he wasn't. Percy examined Nico, he still had crazy hair like Percy, but for some reason his hair seemed a bit more obsidian colour. Percy didn't know how that was possible. Also the fact his eyes looked like it was peering into his soul. Percy resisted the urge to shiver. Nico was tanned and pale making an odd combo. He was probably tanned because he spent a lot of work on the new cabins helping out the Athena and Hephaestus cabins. The fact that he can conjure a army of the undead did help construction go faster. Even though Nico was the son of the underworld he was starting to get accepted here, like Malcolm and him were good friends and Travis and Conner with Nico was a mad house. They pranks were more complex with Nico in there. Of course him and Nico were close friends. Since the re-construction started Annabeth was always busy( they still had time for each other) and most of his friends were busy helping. He would have helped as well but we all learned Percy and tools do not go together.
Same thing with Nico, so Percy usually went to train, and Nico had the same idea and well since they were mostly free all the time, they hung out a lot over the summer. Now Percy and Nico were pretty close. Close enough to consider each other as best friends, because Grover was busy being lord of the wild and Annabeth was his girlfriend so it didn't count. Percy was glad that Nico opened up to Percy a lot. Percy always felt protective over Nico, if anyone teased him or make him feel unwelcome then they taste Percy's blade. Luckily many people accepted Nico. Percy blinked in surprise when Nico slammed his hand to the table " Helloo... Sea to Percy, do you read me Percy?" Nico said waving his hands around "What? What's happening, were are we?" Percy said sounding alarmed "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you but you were banging your head on the table, then you spaced out for a good 5 minutes, did you hurt your brain from thinking too hard?" Nico said trying to contain his laughter but failing miserably at it." Haha very funny Nico" Percy said sarcastically. Nico them got serious " No seriously, something's wrong Percy I can tell" Percy smiled at the fact his best friend knew him so well "You know me so well" this comment gave Nico a smug grin "Thank you very much, I try" Percy shook his head in amusement "Well... I'm not sure how to put this. I guess everything just seems so..." "..fake?" Nico finished. " yeah, like it's too peaceful, I have a very bad feeling like something bad is happening out there" Percy said. Inwardly he was giddy to the fact that someone understood him. " Um? Where is out there?" Nico said mimicking me. " That's the thing I don't know what I mean by out there either" Percy said seething at himself "Chill Aqua Dude, your just being paranoid, the effects of the war haven't left you either" Nico gave me a reassuring smile. " How could these people be so happy?" Percy suddenly burst out.
"I guess there's that too but, Percy these peo-" Nico was cut off as the camp director Mr.D came on" Well hooray now we got new brats in the camp, now run off to your silly campfire and stop wasting my time" Percy chuckled a bit, his speeches were amusing to hear. Chiron got up as well and gave a warm smile " Before you all go, a reminder to Athena and Hephaestus cabin and all those helping with the construction to meet at the Big house" with that everyone got up and started filling out. Percy looked back to Nico to see him getting up " Will discuss this later Percy, we don't want anyone to hear" Percy nodded and got up as well. Before he could follow Nico a voice called him. He turned around to see his lovely girlfriend " Hey wise girl!" she smiled " Seaweed Brain" and she hugged him. This caught Percy off guard but he wrapped his arms around her as well " I'm so sorry with everything happening things have been so busy, and I don't get to spend time with you, but I have to go to Olympus for a while but I promise so as this is all over-" Percy stopped her ranting by putting his finger to her lip stopping her from talking " Take a deep breath Wise Girl, don't worry I understand , I don't blame you either. Plus I have Nico's company, the best company you can get" Annabeth smiled knowing about his and Nico's friendship " Thanks for understanding Seaweed brain" she gave him a quick kiss and turned around grinning " I got to go see you in a few days, don't do anything stupid" Percy waved " Can't make any promises" Percy can hear her laughter as she ran. Percy turned around searching for Nico " Death Breath where are you?" Percy hollered " Right here, quit shouting!" Nico said as he walked to Percy. Biting back a remark " Where were you?" Percy asked. " I needed a quick word with the Stolls" Nico said grinning mischievously. That was a sign that something bad was going to happen. Ignoring the gnawing curiosity" So you were saying before?" Percy said trying to continue their previous conversation. They started walking" I was saying that these people were in full panic mode for years, when they get a chance of happiness they try to make it last forever, they try to for- " Nico was cut off as Percy banged into a tree. " Ugh what just happened?" Percy moaned, he could hear Nico's laughter in the background but his head was throbbing "You-walked-into-a-tree!" Nico said laughing in between. " That's the second time today! I swear this tree is out to get me" Percy said grabbing Nico's hand and getting up. " You know what, I think I'm going to bed. My pride and head just got wounded "Nico laughed again trying to cover it with awkward coughs." Alright, take it easy Fish Brain" he said teasingly. "I will, zombie boy" with that Percy walked into his cabin bidding a goodnight to Nico. Percy sighed maybe tomorrow things will be better he hoped. He still couldn't shake of the bad feeling growing in his mind. With the thought his head hit the pillow. Thus came his nightmare, the joy.
