A. Narumi here posting chapter two. I was a sorta hurry to get this one done. Work has been murder lately, more hours, longer shifts, and costumers are getting really when it comes to complaints. Even though there's nothing wrong, they jst want free stuff. And since my brother was away for a few days I had to babysit when his boyfriend was at work, and sometimes had to pick up from boyfriends sisters house. Her Crazy Friends Were Over! Had to put up with them for a bit before leaving with the baby. Anyways, got the weekend off and brother's boyfriend an brother schedules are good so I don't have to babysit (or listen to him talk about his vacation over and over). Thank God! No Work! No babysitting! Finally a brake! So only had the weekend to finish and got it done. Don't know when I'll get the next one up.

Good since I got a party to go to tonight.

Also I love my niece truly. Just been a long stressful week and a crying baby doesn't help. She's at the teething stage right now. And we can't really do anything for her.

Important!

Percy, Annabeth and Clarisse are seniors in this. While Nico is 9th taking some 10th grade classes and even has science in a class with Jr's and Seniors mixed.

Meaning yes, they has been a few years between this and the last book.

Nico, Percy, Annabeth and Clarisse walked down the school hall following the crowd of follow students to the auditorium for the morning assembly. It was the first day of school for the new year so announcements were to be made, rules gone over and introducing staff members, old and new. As far as new, there was a new Principal, and assistant and a new Science and History teacher. The children didn't know who the new assistant or History teacher was, nor did they care. Though they knew the Principal and Science teacher. Very well. It was none other then Chiron and Mr. D from the beloved Camp Half Blood.

Due to a new quest they had to leave leaving Artemis, Hestia and a few Hunters were in charge of the camp. Persephone was suppose to help but turned down the offer. The quest was simple, figure out what the cause behind the reason for the increase of monsters in the area they were now in. Chiron believed it to be a demi-god or something related and his theory was backed up by the fact there was a school on area (the one they were at now) and house and apartments near by. Mr. D was sent by his Father who said 15years would be taken off if he did. The gods didn't know the cause and were starting worried over it. Percy, Annabeth Clarisse demanded to join in the search. Nico had already been a student at the school for three years so it was no question that he would aid and Hades was also interested in this.

Since the increase of numbers a very few days ago it caught their attention fast. And they all agreed something had to be done.

And so it was decided they would attended the school and keep look out and come back at night to stake out and rid the area of any monsters they see.

"How long do you think this will take?" Annabeth asked them holding hands with Percy.

"As long as it takes I guess," Percy shrugged. "I can't wait for Grover to show up."

Grover had some errands to do before joining them and Percy couldn't wait to have his best friend around again.

"Shouldn't be too long. I say a month or two." Clarisse said glaring a some of the students passing them.

Nico was about to make his own comment when the group in front of them suddenly stopped cause said Son of Hades to run into one of the students back.

"Hey watch it." Said student snapped turning around to face Nico.

He had blond hair and eyes to match, well built. He was taller then Nico and seemed to have an ego.

He made the mistake of snapping at Nico. As most people his age would bow their heads mutter a "sorry" then walk off he did not. He wasn't even close to being one of those.

While the guy looked strong demi-gods fought monsters twice his size on a normal bases. Trained harder then more would expect. Bullies were never a concern to children like them since they knew they had nothing to fear. Now Monster bullies looking like students were a different story and children of the gods have run into those before. Partly the reason why they changed schools so much and also blowing up schools also added in. It's a wonder why some stay at camp year round or in Nico's case spend time in the Underworld.

"I did nothing." Nico glared back.

"You ran into me you brat."

This will not end well. Percy thought and debated on weather or not to pull Nico away and save the poor sap. But decided against it since it was his fault.

As Nico glared the blonds face began to change as he continued to look into those dark intense eyes. Everyone at camp knew that was a bad idea to do when Nico was pissed.

His face expression changed from anger and cocky to pale and fear. No doubt he was looking at his worst fears and felt as if he was staring death in the face. He continued to pale and eyes grow wide.

"Again. I did nothing. You stopped causing me to run into you. It would be wise of you to watch what your doing and also beware of who you beside to claim a Brat!" The ground below them began to shake. Not a lot but enough to feel and get his point across.

Annabeth put a hand on Nico's shoulder. "That's enough Nico. We're not here to bring attention to ourselves we have a job to do. "

Nico smirked and pulled his attention away letting the blond go. "Very well."

"What the hell was that?" Izzy asked anger warned in her voice.

"I….have…no," Jace gasped trying to control his breathing. "Idea."

It was true. There was no way to explain or describe what just happened. What that child did to him. It was impossible, or so he thought it was. It was like his fear and death rolled into one and he couldn't look away no matter what. He was frozen, being held there against his when the kid looked away did the feeling leave or look away himself.

"But I think that group have something to do on what's going on here."

"What makes you say that?" Alec asked.

"Just call it a hunch. So let's keep an eye on them."

"Whatever," Izzy sighed. "Let's just go." She went to turn and ended up hitting someone knocking the papers in their hands scatter to the floor along with him.

"I'm so sorry." He said sitting up on his knees and began picking everything that had fallen.

His had dark shoulder length hair pulled back in a low ponytail and bandages around his knuckles to his wrist. His skin was tan and was slightly attractive. "I wasn't looking where I was going." He chuckled nervously.

"Neither was I." She said helping him.

"No flirting Izzy." Jace laughed.

"She's not flirting Jace, its called being helpful." Alec snapped and helped his sister.

Jace shrugged and wanted for them to finish not bothering to help.

Devin mentally kicked himself while standing back up and muttering a thank you. The girl, Izzy, handed him some papers along with someone he guessed was her brother. The both looked alike and hair light skin and dark hair. She wore a white ankle length skirt and a white top to match while he brother worn jeans and a sweater.

"Thanks again." He muttered again.

"No problem. Hey, I'm Isabelle, though some call me Izzy for short and this is my brother Alec. The idiot over there who didn't help is Jace." She introduced herself and him.

"I'm Devin." He smiled at them and laughed a bit when he looked at Alec.

"What so funny?" Alec almost demanded.

"Sorry, it's just a random fact a friend told me. Alec is a shorter version of Alexander as is Alex, she loves that name. Though alec doubles as something else."

"What?"

"Smartalec or Smart-alecky. And alec by it's self is a simpleton or fool." Devin shrugged. "You asked. I don't mean anything by it it's just a random fact she told me"

Jace began laughing loudly and Isabelle snickered. Alec glared.

"He's right you did." Isabelle said.

Devin smiled at them, muttering a apology and walked off towards to the doors to head back to his flat.

Jace was still laughing after that guy, Devin left.

"I like him." He said between chuckles.

"Whatever. Lets just go." Alec said and began walking off leaving his laughing siblings behind.

Reviewing really does make my niece happy.
