Author's Note:
So I made a Reyco one-shot, and it was a big hit! So now that I know PJO and HOO are where the reviewers are at! So this story will be awesome and I hope you all will review and check out my other stories. I will try as hard as I can to keep Nico's POV as dark as possible. Anyways I hope you all will enjoy.
Edit:
Hey I decided to go back through and edit this to make it longer and more detailed. So enjoy.
Also I just wanted to say, I know that Nico's gay and all, but for the purpose of this story please pretend he's not. I really don't want comments saying that he's gay if I choose to give him a girlfriend later in the story.
Percy's POV
We're all at dinner today and Jason finally convinced Nico to sit at our table, unfortunately that meant most of our friends came over too. I mean I can't say I'm upset about it, I just want some time alone with my Wise Girl. Ever since Chiron lifted the assigned tables so that we could sit together I haven't really had a chance to be with her. Maybe after dinner I'll take her to the lake, yeah that's what I'll do. We'll have plenty of alone time there.
So anyways back on track, Annabeth says I get off track all lot; we were all talking and having fun. Even Nico was starting to loosen up, but still if the wrong person said the wrong thing, well let's just say it wouldn't be pretty. The last time the Stolls tried something like that he sent them on a little "visit" to the infirmary.
Then Jason accidentally said Leo's name. Everyone at the table froze, and Jason realized his mistake. His eyes grow wide as all of our thoughts begin to drift towards the elvish boy. No one has heard from him, Nico doesn't think he's dead, and we all have been holding onto the thought that he's still out there.
Eventually our conversation starts back up, but it's still awkward. We were talking when I saw something up at the hill. I was about to get up to check it out when Nico got up, beating me to it. I wasn't the only one who noticed him get up, but Jason was the one to ask him why, he apparently just didn't see the flash in the barrier. It seems that ever since Annabeth and I got out of Tartarus thathe and Jason had been getting along really well. I guess I might be a little jealous, I mean not his type?!
"Where are you going," Jason asks, interrupting my thoughts.
"I just think I saw something up on the hill. It might not be anything, but I just want to go up to check anyways," he says casually. Walking out towards the border.

Unknown POV
Running, that's all I seem to know how to do lately. With hellhounds and other monsters chasing after me I don't think I have a chance. It's not even fair, although I guess the life of a demigod never really is. I had thrown my sword ahead at an attempt to clear a path to get to camp. Now I can't even see it, I'm beginning to regret it though. With injuries all over my body, I'm surprised I made it this far.
Speaking of injuries, I feel my flesh start to sear and I see a monster of some kind spitting fire out of its mouth onto my leg. In fact I can't even name a bunch of the monsters here, but it looks like a mini one-headed hydra, scaly and disgusting. It seems like they're targeting my legs so I can't run, go figure, the one time I need to get somewhere the monsters are suddenly smart. Stupid Gaea, making not only all of the monsters come back, but making them smarter too! I barely manage to hold back a scream as I force myself to keep running toward what I hope is the camp. Then I see the tree, the symbol of safety, and the border line of Camp Half Blood. I know that as long as I get across that border line, I'll be safe. With the monsters on my tail and my sword who knows where, my last hope is that tree. I put every last ounce of my strength into one final sprint, and I jump through the border, losing consciousness in the process.

Nico's POV
I didn't want to leave, but it was better to know if we had a new demigod, or if a monster got past our defenses. So I walk up to Thalia's tree and I do see monsters… on the other side… staring at a girl… on our side.
From the looks of it the girl barely made it to camp. She's laying on her side and I can see several cuts and burns all down her arms and legs. Her clothes hang loosely off of her body, in tatters. There are at least three hellhounds, an empousa or two,and too many others to name that had been chasing her.
I hear the empousa muttering to themselves, "foolish girl escaped," and "lucky for her that she did to, our playdate was about to get real,". I shiver when I think about what the empousa might have done to her if she didn't escape. Then I see something glittering in an injured one's back, a sword. I assume it's hers so I swiftly finish off the monster and grab it, shrinking into a snowflake hair clip of some kind. I go back to the border and pick up the girl to take her back down to the infirmary. I see that she's injured, badly, worse than I originally thought. So I take off running to the infirmary, not really wanting to shadow travel and be out of energy when I get down there, in case they need to know what happened. I see that people are coming out of the mess hall from dinner.
"Nico," Piper says excitedly, as if she had something amazing to tell me, her smile fading when she sees the girl. She just nods in understanding and helps me carry the girl to the infirmary, a place I didn't want to see after I was pretty much held captive by Will.
When we set the girl down and Piper runs to get a healer, I get a better look at the girl. She has pale blonde hair, like a platinum blonde, and is really pale. Her clothes are tattered, like she's been on the run for awhile.
I decide to go back out to see if she lost anything else in the snow, figuring that if she's been on the run that she'd have something that she keeps her stuff in. I grab a coat, since it's the middle of winter, and go to check it out. Walking out I see that the monsters have left, all except one hellhound. It's digging at something in the snow, so I snap my fingers and it runs off. I find a small bag that's a pale blue color and has a snowflake on the front of it where it was digging before.
'This girl must really like snowflakes,' I think.
I open the bag and I see that it's magical. I've seen bags like this before; they never fill up or get any heavier, enchanted. More than likely a gift from Lord Hermes. He's been known to give stuff like this to demigods on the run. I start walking back to camp to give her the bag, or at least set it in her room. I see Chiron coming out of the infirmary and he starts walking over to me.
"Piper told me you found that demigod," Chiron says.
"Yeah, I found her up by the border. Lot's of monsters following her it looked like," I say.
"Did you find anything of hers?" he asks hurriedly.
Probably just wanting to find some information on whose kid she may be. With that many monsters it's possible that she's a child of the Big Three. Although she didn't have that kind aura more cold, and slightly fading when I found her. I assume that nothing bad has gone wrong seeing that she was unconscious when I found her. They probably just gave her some ambrosia, maybe some nectar.
I hold up the bag and the hairpin and he grabs them. He examines it and throws it into the air. I hear him gasp at the sight of the silver blade as he quickly throws the sword into the air, it transforming back into a snowflake. He walks inside, taking them with him, gesturing for me to follow him. I scowl and follow him to her room, but we pass the room she was in before and she isn't in there.
Then I realize that they must have taken her to the intensive care unit. That only happens when patients refuse to eat ambrosia or drink any nectar.
Author's Note:
Uh oh, who is this new demigod? Why won't she eat any ambrosia? All these questions and more to be answered next chapter. Please remember to review.
Edit:
First edit done, there's only so much you can do with old chapters without affecting everything that happens in the future, *sigh*.
