Sorry if the chapters are a little short this is my first Fanfiction story. And I apologize if the first chapter feels a little rushed.
Chapter 1
Nico groaned as he walked into his cabin. He really needed to get bunks that didn't look like coffins. He sighed as he sat down on his bed. It had been nine months since the war against Gaea and it was almost going to be summer.
Nico knew what was probably going to happen. Percy, or Annabeth, or someone else was going to get another prophecy and he was going to get left behind. It has happened before, so why should it not happen again?
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Hello? Nico?" Said the person at the door. A girl walked in, and he realized it was his half-sister, Hazel. "Hey, Nico. What's up?" She asked. "Oh, nothing."
Hazel frowned. "Were you thinking about the summer?"
Nico sighed. He knew he couldn't try to hide anything from her. "You're wondering if someone will get a prophecy, aren't you?" She asked. Nico nodded and asked, "What are you doing here anyway? I thought you weren't coming until next week."
"I thought I'd surprise you." Nico raised an eyebrow. "Fine, I came so that I could surprise Annabeth and Piper when they get here in a few days." Hazel admitted. Nico smiled and nodded his head. He made a silent note to himself to warn his face before he ever tries to smile again.
The bell for dinner rang and Nico trudged over to the dining pavilion. He walked over to the Hades table with Hazel and got an apple.
"May I have your attention please?" Chiron announced. "Tonight we will be having a game of capture the flag." The Ares kids cheered as the Athena cabin started working on their battle strategy. "Do I have to participate in capture the flag since I'm just visiting?" Hazel wondered out loud. Nico shrugged his shoulders. "I think so. You can ask Chiron if you want." Suggested Nico. Hazel took his advice and went over to ask Chiron. Nico always hated capture the flag. He always got stuck guarding the flag. Maybe this time I can hide in my cabin until the game is over. Or maybe I can hide out in the big house. Chiron will be out in the woods anyways. Nico thought. His thoughts were interrupted by Hazel. "Chiron said that I can play if I want to. But I think I will just be by the lake instead," She said, "I hope that's ok with you, Nico."
"Its ok." I said to her. As Hazel walked over to the lake, and Chiron was explaining capture the flag, Nico quietly got up and made his way over to the big house. When he got there, he walked over to the pool table. He picked up the eight-ball and tossed it around in his hand. "Nico? What are you doing here?" Asked a voice behind him. Nico spun around to see that it was Rachel Elizabeth Dare. "Oh, hey Rachel, I didn't hear you come in." Rachel frowned. Nico was such a bad lier. "Skipping capture the flag?" She guessed. Suddenly, Green mist started swirling around Rachel, and her eyes turned green. Oh no. Nico thought. Another prophecy, no, not again. Nico scrambled to get a piece of paper in case he had to tell anybody what the prophecy said.
