A/N: Hi, I hope you enjoyed the last chapter . It would be nice to have some reviews and criticisms, but please not too harsh as I am new to this . Disclaimer : I own none of these characters, except Kelsey Whitehall and Darcy Falore. (Nikky and Luke Fellure belong to my younger sister). All rights go to Rick Riordan.

Nikky was having a bad day. All of her days were generally terrible anyway, but today seemed especially bad. She enjoyed reading, so naturally, she had her head in a book, when she heard someone call her name.

It was Will Solace, the healer from Apollo cabin. Talking to him was was the boy with the weird T-shirt. The one with the dancing skeletons. What was his name? Nico. That was it.

"Hey, Nico? Think fast!" she shouted as she threw her extraordinarily heavy book at him. Distracted, Nico didn't realise what was happening until the book smacked him in the face.

Nikky's mouth twitched slightly . Perhaps this day had just started to get better.

"What was that that for?" he yelled at her.

"No reason," she replied , walking away.
