Nico P.O.V
"Stupid Chiron." Thought Nico with a sigh, he was so tired. For the last three days he had been trudging through the forest on a stupid quest. He had been sent to fetch a new, albeit powerful demigod. He pushed a thick branch out of his way and continued. Suddenly he heard a high, loud shriek and turned, listening for where it had come from. He heard it again and figured it had come from the west, so he leaped over bushes, rocks and anything else that was in his path. He almost tripped into a small stream, before coming to a large meadow. The meadow was beautiful, but it was the things in it that caught his eye. There, before him was a tiny girl, who looked like she was twelve. When she turned, he was able to get a better look of her. She had a delicate frame, and looking to be about 4'8. She had chestnut hair that fell in waves down her small back. Her face was round and babyish, with rosy cheeks and lips. Her most shocking feature was her bright green eyes, which were round with fear. He snapped back to reality, only to notice what she was scared of.
He saw a giant hydra in front of him. It had only two heads, but its body was amazingly big. He wondered what the poor girl would do; he could not see any weapons. Instead she looked around, closed her eyes and furrowed her brow. The all he could see was a rainbow of startlingly bright colors, and then nothing. He saw her back and fell to the ground.
Caitlyn P.O.V
She was tired and lonely, having not seen another person for months. She sighed, and felt another presence. Then, she heard a roar, and saw a massive figure emerge from the shadows of the trees. Caitlyn never carried weapons, as she had no skill at all with them. She had only one odd power, one that she barely knew how to use. She knew that this was her chance, her only shot at surviving this battle. She focused on the colors of pain, red, and the sky burst into an array of color. She ducked and rolled to the ground, to save herself. She blinked for a few seconds, wondering if she was alive, and scrambled around to make sure that the monster was gone. She looked and it was totally disintegrated, into a pile of monster dust. Then, she felt a feeble touch around her ankle, and turned.
She almost screamed when she saw the pale boy, with a hand around her ankle. She realized he needed help up, and offered out her hand. He grasped it and feebly pulled him up. He stumbled, but hen after a few minutes regained his balance and walked over to her. She was shocked when she got a good look at him. He was tall, 6'2 she guessed. He had a mess of black hair, and golden- brown eyes. She looked up and saw handsome facial features, and strong shoulders. She looked up at him with ferocity in her eyes. Who was this stranger? What did he want with her?

Nico P.O.V
He had never seen such a small girl with such a mean look in her eyes. She might have been small, but was fierce.
"Don't scream, I won't hurt you. I'm your friend, I'm Nico."
"I'm Caitlyn, I'm 16 years old."
"Are you sure you are?"
"Very funny, but I know how old I am."
"I really want to help you. I can take you to a camp where people like us live…"
"Are you lying? If you are, I'll kill you."
"No, I don't lie."
Next thing he knew, they were five minutes from Camp Half-Blood. She had been pouting about not being able to get food from a restaurant, because they were in a hurry, but Nico had finally given in. The people on the train were staring at her as she stuffed her mouth like she had never eaten. He got off at the next stop, and hailed a taxi. She licked her fingers, and smiled. He smiled back, but what surprised him was that it was a real smile. He hadn't told anyone lately, but he was missing Bianca more and more since her death. It was hard never having anyone to talk to. He jogged up the hill to the entrance of the camp, Caitlyn byy his side
