A/N: Yay! I updated! After my friends, Snapple3077 and Purplicouspolkadot, reminded me over and over again, I updated. This chapter might be a little short.

Chapter 2: The meeting, the anger and the nicknames.

Heather's POV

Why is it that when someone is being chased, they get lost. Instead of running to the dorm room, we ran to the third level swimming pool, reserved for swim team only. Everyone would be at classes, and the next swim practices won't be until Friday. We ran into the girl's locker room, not caring that Edward was still with us. We threw him on the floor and locked the door. When he got over his shock, he went and tried to open the door. We wouldn't let him. "Ok, Ed. Spill. Who are those people? Why were there hellhounds at school? Who are you and what do you want?" Fern asked angrily. Fern isn't one to get mad easily. But when she is mad, she is mad. Together we gave him our famous, 'Tell-me-what-I-want-to-know-or-you-will-get-a-broken-nose' glares. He whimpered and we were all reminded that there are better things to do. Like how in Hades, are we going to get out? Sam's face lights up, like she does whenever she gets an A+ on a test… or when she gets a crazy idea (that usually I suggest but isn't really that useful until Sam brings it up.) "Te acuerdas, el túnel que encontramos en grado 4? Podemos user eso." Sam said, a triumphant look in her face.


(Yes, you did. Like you have right now. Stop laughing Fern, you get the same look as well.)


"Great idea, Sam!" Fern exclaims, the same look in her eyes. If you didn't know them as well as I do, you would think they are sisters. You see, when we were in grade 4, we found a tunnel that lead straight up and above the swimming pool. We devised a plan. One of us would go up the tunnel with Edward and wait. One would be half way up. And one would be at the door, luring them in. Once they were all in. The one above the swimming pool would drop down and lock them in, the rest would follow. That would buy us enough time to get our stuff and leave. Fern would look out with Edward, because she isn't scared to push him in. Sam would be in the middle because she climbs fast and would help me up if I didn't climb fast enough. And I would lure them because I know how to bribe people.


(Yes I do. Remember that time I made Katie prank the Stolls because she didn't want to get in trouble for getting caught by the harpies. Ahhh, good times.)


In this, Edward would be the bribe. We all got in position. I ran back to the laundry room. Halfway there I meet up with the 6 mysterious kids 5 of them were about 16-18, one was about 15. There were 2 girls and 4 boys. One girl was the Sam look-alike. She had curly blond hair and stormy grey eyes, with a tan and lots of scars. The other girl had the same tan and lots of scars look, as did all of them except for the 15 year old. She had short black hair and a circlet surrounding her forehead and a soft glow that made her look godly. One boy had a small goatee and a hat on. He had crutches and a small limp. Another boy has blond hair and electric blue eyes, like the girl. The 15-year-old boy had pale skin and black eyes. You could almost imagine them as dark voids. The last boy surprised me the most. He was Percy. He hair look windswept and his eyes were filled with the most unlikely of things, half happy half sad. I crashed in to Percy. The good news: he got me before I fell. The bad news: He caught my arm in a really uncomfortable position. A sickening crack was heard. I yelped slightly. I stumbled to get out of his grip. He wouldn't let me. "Hey, calm down, we just want to talk. I don't want to hurt you. Or well… even more." He said looking at my shoulder. "Hey Jason," the girl with the short hair said to the guy with the blond hair, "We should have brought your girlfriend, Piper." Jason blushed. Piper, I remembered, was the girl under the pink banner. "I have Edward. Well… we have Edward. I'll take you to him just as long as you don't hurt us." I said remembering my part of the plan. Sam, I am going to get you back for this, I thought darkly. "I don't believe that. I think that you are making us walk into a trap." the blond one said. I gave her my stare. She gasped and took a step back. "I am not. My shoulder is broken maybe dislocated, where would I go? My best chance would be the stables on the ground floor in the east wing."


(That was part of the plan)


I replied angrily. "If,"I said, "I am going to lead you into a trap, you have my word that after, I will listen to what you have to say. And trust me, I don't trust you or anyone." She looked like she was going to reply but the pale kid beat her. "Fine, We'll follow you, but first we want to know names." His tone didn't surprise me. After 8 years in the system, I got used to people threatening me.


(Yeah, That did happen a lot.)


"Fine, My name is Hannah. And yours?" I replied my voice seething with anger. Percy must have noticed because he let go of my arm and stepped between his group and me. "I am Percy, The Wise Girl is Annabeth, Death Breath is Nico, Sparky is Jason, Pinecone Face is Thalia and Goat Boy is Grover." He said pointing at said people. Death Breath? Pinecone Face? Who came up with these nicknames? "Don't forget that you're Kelp Head and Seaweed Brain." Thalia said laughing. Everyone but Nico laughed with her. He just simply said, "Hannah isn't your real name. If our information is correct, which it is, your name is Heather." I was surprised at how much Edward had said. "Fine, but for your information Death Breath," He flinched at the use of his nickname, "I don't care how correct your information is, and I just want you to leave me alone." I got angrier by the second. I started to walk to the pool but Percy grabbed my left arm. I winced slightly. "Take us with you." He let go and I started to walk. They had no choice but to follow me.


A/N: I know. Short right? Well I was having a bit of writer's block tying to right this chapter. I will try to update sooner.
