Chapter 1: Nico

He had just watched his two best friends plummet into the home of Gaea: Tartarus. He felt like it was all his fault. He knew he could have done nothing about it but still, he was there while Percy was clinging on to the edge of that small cliff and Annabeth was holding onto his ankle for dear life, and he just let them go. He desperately hoped they were still alive.

Every one was upset. After being together on this quest and going through so much, everyone thought of the others as family. Now Annabeth and Percy were gone. Honestly, they were the two strongest demi-gods on this quest, especially when they were together, and even though no one would admit to it, they all knew it was true. Even Jason, the son of Zeus and one of the praetors of new Rome most likely could not have defeated both Annabeth and Percy if he had to.

Really, every one thought iy was their own fault, especially Leo. Both him and Piper had run into Nemisis, the goddess of revenge, and gave Leo a fortune cookie. She told him if he opened it, there would be a great price. Apparently he hadn't ever planed on opening it but when Hazel and Frank had been unconscious and Leo had been trying to defeat the eidolon, he used it to figure out the code to the Archimedes sphere to save them.

Nico had just been saved from dying inside an overly large glass jar(long story) and had been spending the last hour getting caught up in what happened this last week by everyone telling them their story.

Just after every one finished telling him their story, Nico spoke up and said, "Guys, just before Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus, he made me promise that we would meet him on the other side of the Doors of Death. We have exactly one month. The mortal side will be heavily garded by the worst of Gaea's forces but we have to. If we were the ones that fell into Tartarus, I'm positive they would do the same thing for us."

Jason stood up and said, "Nico's right. Annabeth and Percy are down in Gaea's home and they could be fighting for their lives right now. Nico, you are the only one out of us that has been down there. Do you have any idea what they could possibly be facing?"

Nico was just about to tell them when suddenly he was staring into the face of Gaea. She had this look of pure evil on her face and said, "Nico, you have been into my home and have somehow escaped without going insane. You have valuable information about me that I can't let you tell the others. I can make you a deal, you may keep your memories of Tartarus and go back to your friends if you do one thing, join my side, fight against the gods. You don't even like them anyway, now do you? Your father has never been there for you, he left you and Bianca in that hotel for 70 years. If you join me, you will have a purpose. You could take over the underworld in your father's place. Now if you choose to be disagreeable, then I will only have to take your memory of what happened here, so your choice."

Nico thought about Gaea had just said. Was it true that he resented his father for abandoning him and his sister in the Lotus Casino for 70 years? He knew he did it to protect them from Zeus but still, he wasn't sure. He was so confused he really didn't know how he felt about anything with every thing that had been going on. But he did know one thing. He would never betray his friends for the enemy no matter what the cost. They had just saved his life and he would never betray them by telling secrets to the enemy and stabbing them in the back.

He said to Gaea in a confident voice, "No, I will never join your side!"

The earth goddess said in an almost depressed voice, "Well, there is only one thing left to do. You would have made a wonderful ally, but you have made your choice. Go along with your friends, but you will no longer be of any use to them now!"

Nico, woke up with and saw his friends faces staring down at him. Hazel said in a worried tone, "Nico, what happened? You were about to say something about being in Tartarus when you just collapsed. Are you okay?"

Nico stood up and said, "Gaea kinda just gave me a little visit. She gave me a choice, join her or she will take my memory of being in Tartarus. I chose choice two."

Jason put a hand on his forehead and said, "Great. Now we have nothing! Perfect timing too!"

Hazel now very defensive of her 'brother' angrily said, "Jason, its not his fault Gaea did that! Would you rather have had him go over to the enemy? I don't think so!"

and she angrily grabbed Nico's hand and pulled him away to the bunks.

Now Nico really felt worthless.
