Hi! And so another story has been added to the list of Percy Jackson. Let's see where this one goes, shall we?
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or any of the characters. Except for mine. If I did, Nico would have had a girlfriend by the end of TLO. All credit goes to Rick!
Nico's Pov:
Ah. Another day at camp half-blood. My favorite place in the world! I jumped out of bed and skipped over to my door, waving cheerfully to the beautiful mermaids sitting in my indoor hot tub. Percy knocked on my door and handed me a plate of chocolate chip muffins. I- WRONG.
This, sadly, is not how I wake up in the morning. I don't even like this place! You want to know how I woke up? Suit yourself.
Percy's an idiot. He came into my room and yelled in my ear, "WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!" too bad he didn't know I was already awake. Yeah, nightmares. I'm trying to get back to sleep after having one.
I shot up from my bed and punched his face. Percy grabbed his nose and said a bunch of not so nice words. I snickered. "Damn Nico! I was just getting you up for breakfast. You always sleep through it."
"Oh. Thanks." Usually I would go back to sleep, but Percy says he's tired of hearing me complaining about how hungry I am when I wake up.
You think Percy would at least have some coke on him or something.
"Just c'mon, let's go eat. There having bacon..." he taunted.
I gasped. "Bacon you say?"
Percy nodded. "Mmm-hmm. With eggs and pancakes and maybe..."
"Maybe what?" I asked eagerly.
"Maybe they might even have waffles." he taunted.
"And...you lost me. I hate waffles, remember?" Percy sighed. "Just get up, man. Chiron said there's going to be some announcements after breakfast. You need to hear." I groaned and kicked him out so I could get dressed.
You know, I should come to breakfast more often. They made gooood bacon.
Chiron actually did have an announcement. I don't think it was worth getting up for though. Just that capture the flag was moved to Thursday instead of Friday. Maybe I can sneak back to bed...
"Nico, I need to talk to you and Percy." I groaned, "Look, I didn't make that dent in that canoe, okay?"
"That's not what I was talking about." Chiron said. "Oh. Well, regard what I just said then. What's up?"
"You and Percy have to go find Grover, he went to get a half-blood weeks ago. But I got a message saying that the child was...resisting."
"So where's the kid?" Percy asked.
"Georgia. Savannah, Georgia." he said. "What's the problem? What do you mean by resisting?" I asked.
"She's just a little troublesome. Grover needs your help getting her to camp." he said.
"Monsters?" Percy asked.
"No. Her mother isn't that powerful. Powerful enough to need to be at camp though. Like I said, she's resisting." Chiron explained.
"I don't get it." Percy sighed. I rolled my eyes. Idiot. "He means she doesn't want to leave." I said in a 'duh' tone.
"I know that! I don't get why Grover needs our help. What is she 10?" Percy asked.
"12. 13 next week. That's kind of why we need her to get to camp. Before monsters realize she's a half-blood. Maybe you can see why Grover needs your help when you get there." I kinda drifted off from the conversation. It was getting boring. Wait a second! Savannah is near the beach! Well, kinda.
In all my excitement I yelled out, "Woo! We're going to the beach!" right in the middle of their conversation. Percy and Chiron looked at me and I felt my cheeks heat up. No, I did not blush. Guys don't blush. "Sorry." I mumbled. "No. Your not going to the beach. Well, I guess it depends on where she is right now. But that's not important. Annabeth has the address from Grover. She's driving. Go pack your stuff. I'm sorry it's a bit of a short notice. It's not like you were doing anything anyways." He said. Well, I had plans. I was going to bed. But I guess I can't do that anymore. Knowing Annabeth, she'll talk the entire time.
30 minutes later, the 3 of us were piled into the van... and arguing. Annabeth and Percy were trying to figure out the fasts route to Georgia. "Nico can't you just shadow travel us there?" Annabeth asked.
"No." I said simply. Half the reason was because I didn't want to give the effort. The other half was because I just couldn't. End of story.
Miraculously, I did fall asleep after a couple hours. But, alas. I had more nightmares. I really need to get over this.
We stopped for food and ended up spending all of the money by accident. Who sent Percy into Burger King? Sometimes I question Annabeth's wisdom. We had to save half of the food for later. So all I got to eat were my fries! There's a burger in that backpack! And I want it! Ok, getting off topic.
I fell asleep again. More nightmares, this was getting annoying.
It was really late when we got to the beach. I wonder if she'll be hot. I hope she's a beach bunny. She'll be a NicoFanGirl real quick and then it'll be like putty in my hands. Oh yeah.
Grover came around from the other side of the dunes. He was panting. I snickered. He couldn't take a girl. "She's over here. C'mon." Percy and I followed him back the way he came. There was a girl sitting on the beach next to the waves. Sipping coke, I'm jealous.
Grover put his hands up and said slowly, "It's okay. We're just taking you to camp. You'll be safe there. It's for people like you."
The girl threw her coke at us and yelled, "Get the fuck away from me!"
Percy joined in too. "Your a half-blood," he explained. "You have to come with us."
"Your all mental! Get away from me!" she screamed. Grover sighed and shook his head, "I didn't want to have to do this. But you leave me no choice..." He took off his pants. The girls eyes widened.
You know, usually, if all the explaining didn't work, showing the fury legs would get them to crack. This time though, I think it made her worse. She screamed bloody murder.
"Cops! There's mental goat mutants on the beach!" She ran up to Grover and started pushing him. "Get away get away get away!" I sighed.
"I'm so tired of this." So using my cleverness, I snuck up behind the screaming girl who I don't know the name of and grabbed her from behind. She kicked and screamed, "Get off me creepy goth kid!" That was insulting. She even tried to bite my hands!
Percy grabbed her feet and Grover held her hands. When we finally got her restrained, Grover said in a soft voice, "Are you going to listen now?"
She sighed, "Do I have a choice?" We laughed. So Grover gave a boring speech about the whole greek god thing, and my arms were getting tired. I did the gentlemen thing, I dropped her on her butt.
She growled at me and said, "Look, I already know about that stuff. You didn't need to tell me. I've know since I was 5. I just...didn't know what Satyrs looked like, that's all." Well that was a waste of time.
"What's your name, kid?" I said. "I'm not a freaking kid! I'm almost taller than you!" she spat.
"Fine. Your not a kid. What's your name?" I asked. She didn't answer. She got up and brushed the sand off her butt. The girl sighed and said, "Be right back." she ran off into the dunes and came back shortly with a backpack.
She followed us back to the van and immediately hated Annabeth. Mostly because she was annoying her with questions.
"What's your name?" no answer.
"Do you know who your godly parent is?" she said yes. Annabeth was suspecting her to tell her. But she didn't.
"Can you tell me?" Annabeth said after a long pause. "Nope." the girl said, popping the 'p'.
"What happened to your mortal parent?" Annabeth asked. "Never heard from him." she said.
"Are you homeless?" Annabeth asked. The girl kicked the back of Annabeth's chair and said, "Mind your business!" The girl pulled an Ipod out of her bag. "Where did you get that?" Annabeth asked.
The girl paused. "...a store."
"How did you get songs?" the girl shrugged, "I know a guy." She fell asleep after that. I was planning to follow suit soon.
"I found her alone on the beach after I got here a week ago. I was planning to look through the school, but I picked up her scent instead. Chiron knew she was here and told me to get her. Wouldn't tell me anything about her past though. I don't even know who her mom is. It's not big three powerful though. More like minor-goddess. But her scent is a little bitter, plus she's not very inconspicuous. Monsters would have killed her as soon as she turned 13." Grover explained to Annabeth. I wonder what he means by bitter scent. Probably because she's so crabby.
I didn't know I had fallen to sleep until I woke up. Hey, no nightmares! We were in the back of a McDonalds. Grover, Percy and Annabeth were arguing about...something.
"What are you guys yelling about?" I said.
"Percy and Grover ate all the food while you, me and the girl were sleeping." Annabeth spat. "I knew I shouldn't have let Percy drive."
"You did WHAT?" he ate my burger! I was maybe gonna eat that!
"Sorry." Percy and Grover mumbled. The girl finally woke up after all the yelling. "What's up?" she yawned.
"They ate all the food." I said. She raised her eyebrows, "So?"
"So, we don't have any money left." Annabeth said. The girl stared at the McDonalds. She sighed, "Alright, what do you guy want?" she asked.
"Huh?" Grover said.
"Requests? What do you want to eat? C'mon I don't have all day." she said. We told her in confusion then she opened up her backpack and pulled out a wig and some makeup. "What are you doing?" Percy asked as she did her face. She opened the door and got out of the van, "Getting food." she said.
We watched her as she went inside the restaurant. Through the windows we could see her order. The cashier pushed buttons and held out her hand. The girl took the food and ran.
Of course they tried to stop her, but I don't think they were very prepared. It's not everyday a McDonalds gets robbed. She hopped back into the van and said, "Drive."
She pulled off the wig and wiped the make up off her face. "Why couldn't you just use the drive through. It would have been easier." Percy said as we were getting on the highway.
"This way they don't know what we look like or what are car looks like." she said through a mouthful of food. I ate my burger in peace. So greasy...
After about 7 hours Grover and Annabeth were arguing again. Grover wanted to crash for the night but Annabeth said we didn't have any money left. Percy was surprisingly sleeping the whole time. Annabeth was driving, Grover was shotgun, I was sitting on the left side, the girl on the right. Percy's head was against the new girls shoulder. She looked as pissed as hell.
She started banging her head against the glass. She kept her head there for a second and looked out the window. We were next to a beach because Annabeth thought it would be easier to stay on the coast. "Kill me now." I heard her mumble. "That can be arranged." I said. She rolled her eyes and looked out the window again.
"You know, you never did tell me your name." I said.
"I'm not planning to." she said. Why can't she just tell me her name? I'm tired of calling her she. You know what? I'm just gonna call her new girl.
After a little while New Girl yelled, "Pull over!" Annabeth protested at first but then she did. There was a trailer sitting on the beach with some lawn chairs outside of it and a couple of men barbequing. It made my mouth water. New Girl got out of the car and smiled. "Hey Sam! Long time no see." she said. "Sweetheart! We missed you!" the guy at the barbeque said, who I assumed was Sam. His voice was gruff. "Who are your friends?" he asked. New Girl stared into his eyes for a brief second and Sam said, "Damn!" like it explained everything. The men looked normal. They were all really pale with creepy eyes. They all had black spots on there clothes. New Girl looked like them too. She had shaggy reddish-brown hair which looked like it hadn't been brushed in a while. Like the men, she had black spots on her clothing. Apart of her shirt looked like it had been ripped off from the bottom and her face looked oily.
New Girl went into the trailer and got a lawn chair for herself and told Sam, "We're gonna need a place to stay tonight, Sam. Know of any? Btw we're broke, and I'm guessing we're almost out of gas. Is it alright if we take some from your stash?"
"You know where it is. Help yourself. Your in luck, sweetheart. Marcus got a couple tents." Sam said. He tossed her a rag that looked like a torn shirt and New Girl wiped her face with it. By now it was getting really awkward for Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and I. One of the guys got up and said, "I'll get the tents." I assumed him to be Marcus.
New Girl came up to us and said, "Okay, we're crashing here for the night. You might want to call Chiron. I have business to take care of so don't bother me. Got it?" she said, getting up in my face at the last part. I feel offended.
"So where were you Sweetheart? Haven't heard from you since last 4th of July." Marcus asked, coming out of the trailer with 2 tents. Wait, 2? Crap.
"I was...around." New Girl said. "I need to borrow a couple of your lighters. Mine are out. Can I use you computer, too?"
"Sure, Sweetheart. Why don't you get some paper plates from inside the trailer. Dinners almost ready." She went inside and we started setting up the tents. Damn. I'm going to have to share with New Girl. Aren't I? I asked. "Well what do you expect?" said Percy. He pulled Annabeth in close and she blushed. I made fake gagging sounds behind their backs.
That night was awkward. I could hear New Girl's breathing, but I knew she wasn't asleep. I asked her questions. She punched my side and told me to shut up. How nice. Grover got punched too, I laughed.
The whole morning was a blur. I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast. We had to hurry back to camp. I fell asleep and so did New Girl. When I woke up, we were at camp and New Girl's head was on my shoulder. She looked...nicer when she was asleep. I slid out from underneath her and let her sleep a little more. That way when she woke up she wouldn't punch me in the face.
Percy woke New Girl up and she growled at him and shoved him off. I went back to my cabin while Grover, Percy, and Annabeth took care of the orientation thing. That's how it worked around here. Even though I helped or did most of the work, I gave my credit to Percy. Aren't I nice? Example: the war. Yep, I got absolutely no credit. For a bit people at camp were proud of me. But that faded quickly.
When I got to my cabin, Allison, an Aphrodite girl was waiting for me. Ugh. She jumped at me and squealed "Nico!" I pushed her off me and growled, "Get out of my cabin."
She pouted, "But Nico-"
"Out!" I pointed to the door. She left, completely ruining my mood. I hate fangirls. Most of them are in the Aphrodite cabin. It's not like their not hot or anything, but you get tired of them being all flirty and acting like total sluts. Its annoying.
I skipped dinner and fell asleep. During my dream I heard loud noises, banging. I opened my eyes and went to my door. Percy was there, he was panting. "Dude, C'mon. You gotta get out of here!" he pulled me out of my cabin and led me to a cabin across from me. It was on fire. New Girl was standing in front of it, glaring.
Yeah. You know what to do. Review. Story alert. Tell me if this sounds okay. This chapter was a little long, but I assure you, your gonna get her name. Eventually. I have to keep writing it on my arm so I don't forget. Ok. BYE.
