Chapter 2 Quest Time (again)

After hours, my siblings finally managed to drag me out of cabin 13, hating the that shone so cheerfully, since the world should be grey since Nicole died, wearing a hoodie that belonged to Nico. I sat gloomily at the Hades table, which my cabin mates, Chiron, and Mr. D kindly allowed, sniffing in the aroma of chocolate that tickled my nostrils. The smell of Nico and his hoodie. I slammed my fist into the table, screaming in heartbroken agony, sending my brisket and plate flying into a deep crack Nico made years ago. I growled. Why did everything remind me of Nico?

I noticed people glancing at me startled. I glared at them and snarled, "what are you looking at?!" I suddenly thought how much I sounded like Nico and my heart shattered again. Percy slid next to me and we sat in awkward silence. I was thinking what to say, but thankfully Chiron saved my butt.

"Ahem, we have lost an important member of the camp," his voice cracked, "and according to Annabeth dear, he is now in the place that uhh... umm... And we should probably send someone on a quest for his body, for the sake of his boyfriend."

I glanced up, with bleary eyes. Jason sat down across to Percy and I, munching on a plateful of barbecue. Percy instantly stood up, winking at Jason who returned the gesture, leaving me miffed.

"I, Jason and Will volunteer!" Percy shouted loud enough for every soul and ghoul to hear, and people probably heard him in Asia. I buried my crimson cheeks in the folds of Nico's hoodie as I heard Athena's children scoffing about Percy's grammar.

"Really?" I whined with my muffled voice, instantly thinking of a new experiment: different ways to humiliate Jackson and Grace.

"Well, Mr Solace, Ms Dare is waiting for you." Chiron announced, waving me toward the cave of Oracle with a melancholy twinkle in his eye.

I stalked scowling and gave my deluxe slap-you-later glare at Percy and Jason as I stomped to the cave, ignoring the worried glances and stares from the other campers.

/Line-break

The cave was not all dark and gloomy like you expect it to be. Rachel, our current Oracle of Delphi, had repainted the walls after Apollo reclaimed the Oracles. The walls were adjourned with the picturesque strokes of color that made up Olympus, portraits of the major gods, and murky, incoherent images of the future in Rachel's visions.

She smiled at me as she sat on her three legged stool. "Ah, you're here! Finally!"

I growled, but weaker since Rachel was a close friend of mine. Before I could talk she gasped, "Prophecy... Here... Now!"

Her eyes glowed green; smoke curled from her mouth, a misty green python slithered towards me. The fog took the form of Nico, causing my heart to shatter the trillionth time since I returned to camp.

A raspy voice hissed,

"The trio of half-divine fell

Into the darkness of hell

The sea the sky the sun

The task we thought was done

His father's power released

To bring back the deceased"

I dashed behind Rachel to hold her up as she went limp, her eyes snapped shut as the mist disintegrated. I lugged the slumbering redhead across the magenta carpeted floor and rested her on a plush bed, burying her in stuffed cushions.

I gulped audibly. Off on a quest. Again. I jogged outside. The lunch time meeting was dismissed a couple of minutes ago. I charged fuming into the Poseidon cabin, pulled a breed of idiot named Percy by the ear out of his room, dragging him into the majestic Zeus' cabin. I stormed in, finding a blonde with a white scar on his lip, reading Homer. I stalked up to him, snatching his book away and slapped him. I sighed as they chorused in unison, "Ouch! What was that for?"

"It's quest time. Second time this week."

A/N: Sorry this was kind of short! I am very busy recently and I am just lazy as well! You probably will be able to read chapter 3 on Friday. But goodbye for now!
