Nico di Angelo was the son of Hades. If you ever needed someone to raise the dead, he will be there. If you ever needed to get to a place quickly, shadow traveling was no problem. But never did anyone ask him for babysitting. He was the son of the god of the underworld.

He didn't do babysitting. So when Percy and Annabeth asked him to baby sit their 4 year old son he looked at them like they were crazy. He was seriously wondering if Dionysus had put some kind of madness spell on them. Sure he had lots of friends now, but he hated kids.

Especially toddlers. They were so annoying. He hadn't always hated kids just since the time he had to go undercover at a children's birthday party. Long story, the point is he wasn't really good with children. Which is why he's wondering what the hades is he doing, standing in front of Percy and Annabeth's door to their home.

He knew he was going to regret this very much. The door opened and Percy and Annabeth stood in the doorway smiling. He gave them a death glare and their smiles faltered.

"Aw, don't be like that Nico, it won't be that bad." Percy said smiling.

"Of course it'll be that bad! Remember what happened at the birthday party."

"Yeah, but this is different. You're only taking care of one child, not thirty."

"I still think something's going to go wrong."

"Nonsense! Said Annabeth. "Just follow everything on the list and it'll be fine."

"Fine! Okay, just give me the stupid list! Annabeth glared at him and gave him the list. Then she walked outside with Percy and entered their car. Percy was driving. He started up the car and soon they were gone. Which left Nico alone with a four year old boy.

He entered the house and locked the door behind him. Standing in front of him was a boy who looked like percy. He had percy' s black hair, but Annabeth's gray eyes.

"Um hi, your name is Hunter right." Hunter just stared at him with his wide gray eyes. Nico didn't know what to do, so he just stood there. An awkward silence followed. Finally Hunter said "Where did my mom and dad go?"

"They went out for dinner."

"Really. Why didn't I come?"

"It was a parents only thing."

"Oh...you're pale. Are you sick?" And is black your favorite color cause you're wearing alot of it. Oh, and do you like death? I think you like death. You know with the skeletons on your shirt. You look like you just rose from the dead. Does this this mean you're a zombie babysitter. Cause that is awesome, but creepy." He said this all very quickly.

Nico sighed in frustration. He felt a little insulted having just been compared to a zombie.

"No, i'm not a zombie!" I'm just as human as you are."

"So, you're not an undead butler come to do my bidding." Nico glared at him.

"Relax. I'm just kidding." When Percy and Annabeth came back, he was going to have a serious talk with them about their parenting skills. He pulled out the list, Annabeth had wrote.

6:30-7:30 TV channel 32. Nico looked at the time it was 6:29. He walked over to the TV and switched it on. Hunter followed him, and sat on the couch. Nico changed the channel to 32. It turns out this channel was some little kids show. Hunter glared at him.

"No, not this channel! I hate it! Can you please put something else?" He gave him puppy dog eyes. A long time ago this might of worked, but now he was pretty much immune to it. Nico just rolled his eyes. "Sorry, but this is the channel your mother wanted you to watch. Hunter sighed and didn't say anything for awhile. Then he said "Hey you never told me your name."

"My name is Nico."

"Um, Nico there's something I want to get in the basement."

"Okay...but, where is the basement." Nico frowned. There was something about that smile on his face that made him nervous. One side of him thought he should say no. The other part thought that he was four years old. What's the worst he could do.

"To enter the basement you have to enter through the door in the hallway."

"Are you sure that's all."

"Nico. He looked at him innocently. Would I lie to you?"

"..."

"Great!" He smiled. "Let's go!"

Nico was opened the door to the basement he turned around and said. "So what do." Before something slammed into his head hard. He stumbled and fell backwards all the way down the stairs. He was laying at the bottom of the stairs. His head was throbbing. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was a pair of gray eyes staring at him.
