Lily's POV
Me and my twin, Kat, were running for our lives. Our mother had told us to go here. She told us we would be safe. But first, we had to evade the STUPID hydra and the STUPID dracaena and the STUPID Cyclopes. I could see the top of the hill, and the pine tree. Suddenly, I felt a burning pain so intense I had to scream.
"Lily!" Kat yelled, running back to me.
"No! Get help! I'll be fine! Go!" I yelled at her. We had learned to trust each other's instincts over the years. She turned around and bolted, yelling for help. I concentrated, and blinded the monsters. They screamed, seeing only blindness. But then I heard a roar.
"Great. Kat! Hurry!" I yelled. I was almost passing out from the pain, but I forced myself to stay conscious. I really did not want to be drakon chow today. I saw her at the top of the hill and concentrated. I focused on my pain, and screamed. The monsters screamed, and some of the lesser ones crumbled to dust from the wave of fear I sent out.
"Lily! Hold on! I'm coming! I got help!" I heard Kat yell.
"Be careful! There's a drakon coming!" I yelled back.
"A drakon!? Who are you two?" I heard a boy say. Then, the drakon appeared.
"Kat! I'm going to do it again! Everyone, get back!" I yelled. I sent a wave of pure fear out, and nearly fainted. A few seconds later, a boy appeared next to me. He had black hair, and a black sword.
"Don't worry! I'm here to help you!" He said. He grabbed onto me, and I sensed what was going to happen.
"Stop! I'll help you! Just a second!" I said. He looked confused. I grabbed onto him, and squeezed. I focused on the top of the hill.
"Come on! The top of the hill!" I told him. He nodded. I closed my eyes, and he created a shadow by standing up. I felt the coldness of the shadows, and heard the whispering. Then we appeared at the top of the hill. The boy stumbled. I saw Kat down the hill a bit with another boy. The boy had messy hair, and sea green eyes. He had a glowing bronze sword. I saw them facing the drakon.
"Kat! Hold on! I'll blind it!" I yelled. She grabbed onto the boy by her and pulled him up the hill, being chased by the drakon. I looked at the boy next to me.
"I'll need your help." I told him. I grabbed his hand, and squeezed.
"Think of your darkest memory, I need negative energy, now!" I told him. He closed his eyes, and I gasped from the amount of energy. I yelled, and the drakon screeched, unable to see. Kat reached me.
"Hold on, boy. You, help us. Focus on your darkest memory. We need negative energy." She told him. She grabbed onto his hand, then grabbed mine. The boy with sea green eyes instinctively grabbed onto the other boy's hand. Me and Kat focused, then yelled. The drakon exploded into dust, and the earth shook from the power of our blast. I let go, panting.
"Lily, are you ok?" Kat asked.
"Not sure. Hydra got my leg pretty good." I told her. I looked at it, then passed out. Kat, being so connected with me, passed out as well. The two boys stumbled, having just lent their energy to us to help with the blast.
***TIME SKIP***
I woke up with a splitting head ache to someone feeding me something. It was really hot, and tasted horrible.
"No! No!" I said, scrambling away from him. Well, I tried to, but my leg was still injured from the hydra.
"Don't worry! Its ambrosia, it'll help you."
"No it won't! We can't eat that!" I said, panicking. I was really hot.
"It will, I promise!"
"No it won't! Where's my backpack?" I said. Kat was in the bed next to me, and she woke up at that time.
"Lil? What's going on?" She asked.
"These idiots gave me ambrosia! Where's my backpack? I have some darknite left still." I replied to her. The boy trying to feed me ambrosia looked confused, but handed me my backpack. I ruffled through it, feeling myself getting hotter and hotter. Finally, I grabbed a Ziploc baggie. I opened it and grabbed a cookie, then ate it. Immediately, my temperature went down and the pain in my leg went away. I passed one to Kat.
"Thanks, Lil." She mumbled, eating a cookie. I stood up, then looked at the boy. He looked really confused.
"Hi! I'm Lily, and this is my twin sister, Kat. Thanks for helping us, but next time, no ambrosia or nectar." I said.
"I'm Will. Son of Apollo. Come on, I should take you to meet Chiron."
"Cool." I replied. I grabbed Kat's hand and helped her up. Will led us out and to the front porch of a big house. There on the porch, was a middle aged man in a wheelchair and the two boys who helped us.
"Chiron, this is Kat and Lily." He said.
"Thank you Will. You may go now, I believe that your cabin is at archery."
"Thanks Chiron!" Will said, running off.
"Take a seat, you two." Chiron said. We sat down next to each other.
"So, how much do you two know about Greek mythology?" Chiron asked.
"Oh, we already know we're demigods. Our mom told us not to reveal who she was until the time is right though. So, we can't tell you that. I assume that you're Chiron. Nice wheelchair, by the way. The enchantments are quite strong." Kat said. Chiron looked confused.
"Thank you to you two for helping us. From the information from the energy we received from you, I'm guessing that you are a son of Hades, and you are a son of Posiedon." I said.
"Ya. I'm Percy, the son of Posiedon. This is Nico, son of Hades." Percy said.
"Nice to meet you!" Me and Kat replied at the same time.
"That was some strong magic that you two did yesterday. I'm still feeling a bit funny from it." Nico said.
"Oh, sorry about that. You are a child of the underworld. You should be able to handle a little bit of this. It's called darknite. It's like ambrosia and nectar, but only children of darkness and the underworld can eat it." Kat handed him a quarter of a cookie, and he nibbled on it apprehensively.
"Oh wow! This stuff works even better than ambrosia and nectar! Why haven't I heard about this stuff before?" Nico said.
"Because it's super rare, and only people like us can eat it. I wouldn't have any more though, it's extremely powerful and if you eat too much then you will die." I said.
"On that cheerful note, it's time for dinner. Kat, Lily, you two can join Nico if you want. I know that Hades isn't your godly parent, but you definitely fit in at that table the best. Is that ok Nico?" Chiron said.
"Ya, sure. Percy, you want to join us?" Nico answered.
"Sure." Percy said. We all walked to the dining pavilion. We all ate our food after sacrificing some of it to the gods. Afterwards, Chiron made an announcement.
"Good evening campers! Today we welcome two new campers, Kat and Lily…" Chiron trailed off. We didn't have a last name, but Kat improvised.
"Kat and Lily Night."
"There we go. Everyone please welcome Kat and Lily Night. Unclaimed. Now, tonight is Capture the Flag night. For teams, we have Hades's cabin vs. Posiedon's cabin. There are so many cabins, you all can sort the rest out. Your head counsellors know the teams." Chiron finished. Everyone looked excited.
"C'mon Kat and Lily! You guys are on my team. We have an hour before we need to be there, I'll take you to the armory to get weapons and armour." Nico said.
"Don't worry about it. We've already got our own. Look!" Kat said. We both tugged on our identical necklaces and lightweight armour appeared on us. We then tugged on our identical bracelets and two swords appeared in each of our hands. We both wielded double blades.
"Holy Hepheastus! Those are made of stygian iron!" Nico said, extremely surprised.
"We know, right? Super cool. Mom gave us our gear." I replied. We headed off into the woods. We planned strategy, and it was decided that me, Kat and Nico would sneak into their territory while the others caused a distraction. We lined up, and then the conch horn blew, signalling the start. We started running through the woods. The plan was going well, until we got to the flag. Nico went to grab it, but accidentally set off a trap. Ten people came out of the shadows.
"Surrender!" One of them said.
"Never!" Me and Kat said in sync. We grabbed each other's hands and started chanting in ancient Greek. A black fog appeared, cutting off their vision. We grabbed the flag, freed Nico, and held his hands. We shadow-travelled to the other side of the border, just before Percy went over the border with OUR flag. He stared at the flag. It had the symbol of Nyx, goddess of the night, in purple and black. Chiron saw and said "All hail Kat and Lily Night, daughters of Nyx."
