I apologize for not keeping my promise about the updates for those of you who've been waiting. Anyway, I don't own pjo only Rick riordan does. Let's get started!

Nico's P.O.V

Life is absolutely...horrible.

I mean I don't even know why they call it life. Honestly I feel dead.(A/N Story of my life)

Sometimes I just feel so left out. I feel like an outsider. All my friends are happy and have someone to love, whereas I barely love myself. I mean there was this one girl...nah. She wouldn't be able to like me if she tried. All these things are the reasons that I am currently taking a stroll along the edge of the dark forest.

Today the hunters came. I could hear the welcoming shouts from the crowd at half-blood hill. And that meant Thalia was back. Oh joy! One more person to make fun of me. Just because you wear black and like dark things does not mean that your emo or goth. Yet no one ever points out how gothic Thalia looks except Percy, he really wants to get shocked. Then, as the noise died down I noticed the sound of twigs snapping behing me. I turned around.

Nothing. Hmmm... That's odd. Another twig snapped. Then someone jumped out from the bushes and tackled me. "Aaaaaaahhhh!"

"You scream like a girl, death breath."

"Thalia?"

"No I'm Piper!" Thalia said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"No, Piper's too nice to tackle someone. Annabeth?"

"Oh shut up."

Gee, really feeling the love.

"I'm a hunter. Of course I don't love you."

Did I say that out loud?

"Yup. We better get back to everyone. If Artemis was here I'm sure you'd be fried."

She shoved me out of the forest and took off for the dining pavilion before I got the chance to ask her about Artemis. Finally Artemis is finally gone! Now I won't have to constantly be hiding. She really hates boys and hades. I don't know why, maybe because he did something bad like destroying her temple or hitting on a huntress. I went to the dining pavilion to eat and then went to sleep.

Thalia's P.O.V

Ha who knew death breath screamed like a girl. After I ate I went to my cabin to take a shower. I put on a black tank top, black skinny jeans and my leather jacket. I slipped on my combat boots and quietly slipped out the door of my cabin, trying not to wake Jason up.

I wanted to clear my thoughts so I took a walk.

You know,I look at my friends and they all look so pleasant and happy together. They each have someone,well except nico and Leo, but I sometimes question why I joined the hunters. No matter how I put it, everyone knows the truth. The only reason I joined the hunt was to escape the prophecy. Now that's over and I have no reason to remain in the hunt, but I can't quit. Hunters can only get kicked out. To do that you would have to fall in love. Maybe that would work. If I just... WHAT AM I THINKING?!

I don't want to leave Artemis. Sure it would be great to be free and stay with all my friends, but leave behind the hunters? Nah. I think I'll go to bed now, thinking has me at conflict with myself. That's when I heard a voice.

" Ugh, you know sometimes I never know what to do. I mean I would ask her but she'd just blow me off. You know what I mean?" the voice said.

I walked to the edge of the forest and peeked through the bushes. Standing there was none other than Nico Di Angelo. The question was, who was he talking to. I looked at the floor next to where he was sitting. Oh. My. Gods.

The bad ass sone of hades was talking to a skeleton... Squirrel. I burst out laughing. "What the hades! How much did you hear?!" he yelled as he shoved me against a tree. Wow he got stronger and hotter.. Wait what are you thinking?! I grabbed his collar and pulled his face close to mine. "How much was I supposed to hear?" I whispered seductively in his ear.

Before he could answer we were interrupted.

"Nico! Why are you trying to seduce my sister?" someone whispered angrily. Uh- oh.
