Percy's POV.
I woke up to the sound of the waves lapping against the dock. After I wiped the sleep out of my eyes and stretched just about every muscle in my body I headed out to dip my feet into the cool water and soak up the sun. "Man I missed this place," I thought to myself. Backing up to 8 months ago when Chiron assigned Annabeth, Grover, and me to a quest. The goal of the quest was to get Annabeth safely to the Roman camp, but as we got there we were forced to leave her behind, seeing as Chiron needed us to hurry back to camp. Annabeth promised the Romans that she would design a new dining hall and we couldn't stay until she finished. It felt weird not having Annabeth with me, an almost empty feeling consumed me. Me and Grover got back late in the night last night so no one knew we were here yet. With a sigh I rose to my feet and was greeted with a sharp pain to my side. "Must be sore from the journey," I wondered aloud. I threw on fresh clothes and headed out to the mess hall. "Percy! Is that you?" I turned and was greeted by Jason and Piper. "Hey guys!" I yelled waving them over. I was soon tackled by a bear hug from Jason and couldn't help but wince as he crushed my side. "Hey man, you alright?" Jason's eyes filled with worry "I'm good Jason," I laughed, "Just sore." Jason looked at me skeptically as I beamed one of my signature smiles. "Percy your shirt!" Piper gasped "Wha..?" I looked down and saw my orange camp half-blood t shirt stained with blood. "Oh, just a little cut no big.." I was cut off as I sank to my knees. Jason and Piper lunged toward me before the world turned black. I woke up in the infirmary and tried to get up. My side erupted into flames and I slammed back down against the bed. "Yeah, I wouldn't try to get up anytime soon." My head shot up to see Nico di Angelo. "Oh hey Nico." I said cooly I looked at him and was surprised to see how much he changed over these last 8 months. Nico had shot up to a comfortable 5"8, his old long shaggy black hair was cut so that it was long on top but buzzed short on the sides and the back of his head. He had a black studded earring and a black ring on his cartilage. He still wore the same black t and studded belt but it was obvious Nico did a lot of growing up while I was gone. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Nico growl, "Whatcha starin at Jackson? Surely the little scar on your side hasn't caused you more brain damage." "Fuck off Nico," I retorted. I was about to curse him out when Leo ran in, "Percy! Hey I heard about.." He stopped rambling when Nico fixed him with an icy glare. "Oh um..I'll..I'll be outside." Leo stuttered before racing out. "What was that for?" I yelled. "Despite being smaller than me Nico grabbed my shirt collar and yanked me up, looking me dead in the eyes, " Stay away from him Jackson," he said spitefully with rage in his eyes. He threw me back down to the bed and walked out. "What was that about," I wondered grasping my side in pain. Looks like one thing hasn't changed, the hate between me and Nico. But what was going on between him a and Leo? What ever it was I was gonna find out.
