2. Missing

I was so upset that I ran from them. I didn't know where but it had to be anywhere from where I was. It turned out to be the lake. I didn't care that I was in my clothes; I needed to just get away from the camp. I jumped in and started swimming. I had always been a good swimmer; I just didn't realize how good I was until I started to swim faster. I felt as if the currents were helping me get to where I wanted. It was this small island near the middle of the lake that I had found canoeing once. As soon as I got there I climbed the biggest tree I could find and just cried. I don't know how long I was alone for but it wasn't for long. Percy was right behind me. He started talking.

"How did you do that?"

"CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE?" I yelled

"But I-"

"But I DON'T CARE! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

And on that happy note I jumped from the tree back into the water and tried to get the water to work with me. I don't know why, it just felt right. And it did. I got back to camp within 2 minutes of hanging onto the current. I got out of the water only to find Annabeth and Thalia looking at me like I was some freak. I needed out of the Hermes cabin I thought. I needed out of this camp. I walked into cabin 11 grabbed my stuff, made sure it was all there (it was) then I started to walk away. Annabeth, Thalia and now Percy were following me telling me to stay. Then someone walked right in front of me. Nico. He started talking to me.

"Emily."

"MOVE!" I yelled

"I'm not going to make you stay. I didn't even stay when I first got here; I just want you to talk to me."

"So if I talk to you, you'll let me leave with no troubles." I questioned

"Yes. Lets go for a walk."

We walked for a wile till we found an old tree. We sat under it and started talking. I tolled Nico everything. He was much easier to talk to than Percy was.

"Well. Emily. I know that right now running away seems like the right thing to do, but it is only going to bring you down even further." He told me

"But I don't belong here. I don't belong anywhere!" I cried. I was getting to chocked up about this.

"I've felt like that a lot. When I was 10 Percy, Grover, Annabeth and Thalia found me and my sister Bianca. She joined the hunt with Thalia but on her first quest she died. I blamed Percy and ran away. It turns out that if I hadn't run away I wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble. I've been there. Take my word"

"Thanks Nico. But, what do I do about the Hermes cabin. I am not staying there one more night. I will go crazy. They all snore and I don't have a bunk which is starting to get annoying hearing about how everyone slept great and I didn't. What do I do about that? Should I try to just build my own cabin or what?"

"Why don't you come stay in my cabin? I'm sure Chiron won't mind if you ask him. I mean you have been here for around 2 months. If the gods aren't going to choose the cabin for you then you should have the right to choose it yourself."

"Do you snore?"

"No, and I'm sure you aren't that annoying like Percy says. Just don't try to wake me up in the morning or I will actually kick your ass out the door."

"Who's your parent anyways? The Olympian one?"

"Ummm.. Hades."

"Oh my gods!"

"What. You don't want hang out with the kid of the god of the dead? Everybody is just so judgmental"

"No, I just realized that if Chiron lets me switch cabins, I'll get to sleep in the cool one."

"You like my cabin?"

"Who wouldn't? Everyone else's cabins are so preppy. Yours is just so not. I love it."

"Well I think we're going to be getting along great then. As long as you don't wake me up in the morning."

"Chiron" I said "I need to talk to you"

"Well, what would you like to talk about Emily?" He answered in a questioning voice.

"I was… I was wondering if I would be able to switch cabins"

"Why would you do that? Cabin 11 is a fine cabin and it is the cabin you shall stay in until further notice."

"You mean the further notice of me getting claimed. It has been 2 months. If the gods cared about me then they would have claimed me by now. Since they aren't choosing my cabin for me then I am choosing it myself. I should have that right."

"Well… I guess that could be acceptable… for the time being."

"Thanks Chiron." I said

"Just out of curiosity what cabin will you be moving into? Ares, Appolo, Aphorodite or Athena? Those are the cabins that I would most likely choose if were you."

"Hades" I said

"What, you can't move in there." He yelled.

"Why not" I questioned.

"Because I forbid it" He finished. As I were going to give up that easliy.

"You only forbid it because it's the Hades cabin, that is the cabin where I have a friend. That is the cabin I choose. Thank you."

After saying that I quickly went to the piano in the big house. I was feeling so alone. The gods didn't care about me enough to claim me. I was so mad, and sad. I wondered what I had done wrong. Those depressing times were the times that I wrote the best music.

Once I was finished the song, for a change I decided to play it for someone. The only person who I thought would like to was Nico. So I asked him. I played this new great but incredibly depressing song for him…

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"t...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't someone missing me?[Chorus:]
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportan

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,

Isn't something missing?[Chorus]

"Emily" Nico said "You can put your stuff there. Just make yourself a home. But not too much of a home, I don't want it to turn into Barbie Land."

"No worries about that Nico" I said "I think I am going to try to get some sleep though."

"Ok. You can you any bunk you want but that one. That one is mine." He pointed to the far corner and the bottom bunk of the bed.

"You have a specific bunk that you sleep in? There are like 6 in this cabin and you chose 1?" I asked

"Hey! I need to sleep in the same indent every night, afternoon and morning, and all the times in between." He defended.

"Well, I'll see you later I guess at supper" I said a little awkwardly. I never had just one roomate before. And I never expected my one roomate to be a guy.

"You'll be sitting with me at my table I guess?" He asked.

"It is better than sitting with those Hermes kids." I said. I shuddered at the thought of another meal with them.

"Okay. I'll save you a seat." He said. Like he needed to save me a seat. I knew that there were plenty to go around.

After he left I tried to get to sleep but I just couldn't. I was starting to like camp even though I wasn't claimed. I tried to remind myself that if I got too happy things would just come crashing down and I would get disappointed. But I am horrible at talking to myself so I just let myself feel the things I was feeling. For the first time I had a friend. And I could talk to them. They were my age and they didn't get scared when I was all depressed and stuff. Still, I wish that I was claimed. Picking where I want to live is great I just wish that I could have that family bond thing that everyone talks about. I wish I had a god to scrape my food off into the fire for. But I didn't. I was so insignificant that they didn't even want to take the time out to claim me. I fell asleep crying. I dreamt something that night, it was like all my other dreams, it felt real but I knew it wasn't reality. I was on what I thought was mount Olympus. I don't know how I knew that but I just did. I was watching who I thought were the gods, I mean they looked Godley enough. They were dragging someone alone the road that led to the top of the hill. I couldn't see the face of the girl they were carrying away. She wasn't struggling, she wasn't doing anything, all you could see was her red hair swinging in front of her face as who I assume to be Ares and Zeus dragged her away. They were talking about how dangerous she was. How irresponsible Poseidon had been. That's when her head was lifted and I saw the face that I knew so well. Her brown eyes spoke to me. And all those happy feelings I was feeling about camp earlier just drifted away. The girl was me.

"Emily… Emily… Are you ok?" Nico said

"Look, I don't wake you up and you don't wake me up is that clear Nico?" I was mad.

"SORRY! You just looked sick or something!" He started to say.

"What are you talking about?"

"You were having a seizure and you almost fell of your bed. If I hadn't gotten up here before you rolled over you would have cracked your head on the floor." He said.

"Well… Thanks…" I said. I guess it was worth waking up grumpy than waking up in the underworld.

"No problem. I might be the son of Hades but I'm not too good with handling death with my friends and family. When Percy tolled me that Bianca died on the quest there was a big earthquake thing and the earth opened up and there was this large crack in the pavement."

"Oh, you mean that crack in front of the dining pavilion?" I asked him.

"Yeah that. Anyways, we have to get going anyways; it's just about time to eat."

When we got to the dining pavilion first Travis and Connor Stoll came up to me and said:

"Emily. Where did you go? We have been looking for you everywhere. Come on were over there"

"Actually guys, I changed cabins." I told them.

"What? You aren't aloud to do that." Travis said.

"Actually I am, ask Chiron" I said to them.

"Well, who are you sitting with anyways?" Connor asked me.

"Nico…" I answered in a soft voice.

"Oh… Ummm… You do know he is the son of Hades right?" Both of them said.

"Go pick Zeus some flowers guys!" I yelled at them and then walked off to go and get some food.

After scraping some of my food into the fire as an offering to the stupid, worthless no good gods, Nico and I went and sat at his… our table. Lots of people were looking at us like we were crazy. Wait no, like I was crazy. I heard some kids whispering,

"Did she get claimed by Hades earlier."

"Naaah, she looks nothing like that Nico guy"

"Yeah, he's way hotter than she is." Another one said. After they said that I decided to go and take a walk over to the Aphrodite table and say.

"You know what, no matter how much you think you're whispering, I can still here you"

"Oh just go back to your boyfriend!" A girl with blond hair said.

"He is not my boyfriend!" I yelled at them.

"For now. I can tell that our mom has something in store for you two." A brunnette said.

"Like Hades!" I said.

After that friendly chat with the some girls from the Aphrodite cabin I decided to go and actually finish my supper.

Once we were finished eating Nico and I decided that we would skip the camp fire because we were both "tired" Secretly we went back to the cabin and played cheat, war, speed, poker, pretty much any card game you can think of. Then we went to sleep. That night, I had the same dream…

*** Later that Night***

"AHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed like a little girl. I don't know why I was screaming so loud. I didn't even know why I was still screaming. All I knew was I was scared. Suddenly I felt someone crawl on my bed, I started kicking and screaming even louder. That's when the lights went on. Chiron had heard me screaming and came rushing over to find Nico crawling onto my bed me screaming and kicking at him. Not that Chiron's like that, but he thought something a little different than what was actually happening. After I toled him that I had a nightmare and Nico was just seeing if I was ok he left.

"What was the nightmare?" Nico asked, still sitting on my bed.

"Umm… I'm not so sure." I said.

"Emily" Nico looked at me sceptically.

"Well, I was being dragged onto Mount Olympus… I think, I've never been there. But normally the dream just ends when they get me into the thrown room but this time it kept on going, the last part of the dream was Hades taking a stygian iron sword and stabbing me with it. That's when I woke up screaming."

"Oh… Don't worry, everything will be fine, I won't let anyone hurt you"

As he said that he took me in his arms and gave me the most sympathetic hug a son of Hades can give you.
