Kim's POV

Previously on 10 Things He Doesn't Know About Me:

Before he could say anything, someone else called out to us. "Kim!"

I turned around to see a guy walk literally out of the shadows. He was wearing all black and a sliver skull ring glinted on his finger. Jared growled and stepped in front of me slightly, taking a protective stance in front of me. "Kim, I need your help with something." He said, ignoring Jared and walking up to us, grabbing my hand, pulling me out from behind Jared. He continued to pull me down the hall and towards the doors that led outside.

"I… Uhhh… Have to go Jared. I'll see you around." I stumbled out, allowing the son of the god of the Underworld to pull me away from the guy of my dreams. The guy who was finally paying attention to me. I must have lost any sanity that I had left.


Nico was being mysterious again. The both of us knew that I hated it when he did that. I think he was doing it just to piss me off. And guess what, it was working! Nico dragged me down to our spot in the Underworld. I know that sounds weird, but that's what happens when you're close friends with a son of the god of the Underworld. You end up hanging out with a lot of dead people. Our spot was on a cliff edge where we watched Sisyphus struggle to push his rock up the hill and cruse when it fell down once again.

"So why did you drag me down here Nico? It better be really important! Like, the world is going to self-destruct or something. Jared was finally talking to me!" I complained.

"Stay away from him! He's dangerous. Come back to camp, where it's safe." Nico demanded randomly, not answering my question. He didn't look at me while he said this, fist clenched tightly. I raised an eyebrow. "What the heck are you talking about Nico? Jared isn't dangerous. And there haven't been very many monsters in La Push, not like it is in New York. And you know how I feel about big cities, regardless that Camp is outside of the city limits." I said, frowning at him. What was going on? Why was Nico acting like this? He never pressed me to go back to camp during the school year. And he knew not to take me to the Underworld while I was in school. People would ask me questions that I couldn't answer. "What's going on Nico? Why are you acting like this? You never had a problem with Jared before."

"That's because he's not mortal like you implied!" Nico growled, glaring at me.

"What the heck Nico? Of course he's mortal, what else could he be? I would know if he was anything but." I yelled back, defending my obsession- I mean crush.

"I don't believe you. You're lying to protect him!" Nico spat. My eyes grew wide then narrowed. How dare he accuse me of lying to him! I didn't say anything as I got up and stomped off. "Where are you going Kim?" I heard him call out to me.

"Anywhere you're not!" I yelled back over my shoulder.

"You can't get back without my help!"

"Watch me!" I yelled back, not stopping. "And leave me alone Nico! I never want to see you again until you say you're wrong!" I shouted, completely meaning it. I didn't want to be anywhere near him when he was calling me a lair and being a complete ass. Ha! Like I didn't know something about Jared! Please, I could write a book about the guy!

About an hour later, I was starting to regret fighting with Nico. I could never hold a grudge for long. There was only one time when I did… and let's just say it was weeks before I even acknowledged that they existed. But that was years ago and I haven't felt the need to become that drastic again. I had felt extremely guilty when I finally forgave the person and saw all the damage I had created when I ignored them.

With nowhere else to go, I ended up playing with Cerberus, the three headed dog that guarded the Underworld. My half-sister Annabeth discovered that Cerberus loved to play with red rubber balls. I usually kept a stock of red rubber balls in a small hole behind a rock where Hades wouldn't hopefully see them. Hades didn't like it when I played with his 'ultimate guard dog'. Said it was embarrassing to see a vicious three headed dog go soft for a single red ball.

That's when Hades showed up. "WHO'S DISRUPTING-" Hades yelled before seeing me. "Oh, Kim, it's you. Why are you playing with Cerberus? He should be doing his job." Hades growled, looking sharply at the dog. The three headed dog whined as he dropped the ball at my feet and slunk back to his spot at the entrance of the Underworld.

"He gets lonely. And I don't want to talk about your son." Hades just looked at me before laughing. I stared at him. I didn't think he could laugh. "The two of you had a fight, didn't you?"

"I said that I didn't want to talk about it!" I said, picking up the ball again. Cerberus's ears went up and his tail started wagging slightly. Hades frowned before snapping his fingers and the ball turned to dust. "Hey! That ball was new! Cerberus didn't even have a chance to destroy it!" I whined, Cerberus's whine echoing mine.

Hades just pointed his finger at me. "Make up with Nico. My children and their lovers shouldn't fight."

"We're not lovers!" I said, blushing. "I don't even like him that way," I added under my breath.

"Are you saying I am a liar? Either way, the two of you will end up together." Hades declared before everything went black, the world disappearing around me.

When the darkness retreated, I found myself in Seattle, in the middle of a busy street. If it wasn't for my quick reflexes, I would be a Kim pancake on that hard black road. Many drivers honked and cussed at me while I struggled to get to the side of the road safely. Of course Hades couldn't drop me off at home, but instead in the middle of a busy street. This was probably punishment for fighting with Nico. When I was safely on the sidewalk, I glanced around, trying to figure out what to do next. Now how was I going to get home? There was only really one answer to my problem. I cringed as I pulled out my cell phone out of my backpack and turned it on. I started moving along the sidewalk while I pushed in the numbers to one of the few cell phone numbers I bothered to memorize. "Hello?" A woman said on the other line, picking up on the fifth ring.

I sighed, relieved. "Hey Emily. It's Kim. Are you busy?" I asked. If she was busy, I would just walk back home. I didn't like bothering people with my troubles. "No, I'm free. I just put a batch of cookies in the oven. What do you need?" Emily asked. I could picture her in her kitchen, smiling and covered in flower. "Oh. Never mind. I am in Seattle and need of a ride. I don't want you to leave your cookies." I said, preparing to hang up when I saw something in the corner of my eye.

"I could send Sam or one of the guys up to get you Kim. What are you doing in Seattle? How did you get there if you didn't drive?" I heard someone yelling on the other side. "I just asked her. Give her time to respond! If you don't stop trying to take the phone out of my hand, I'll… I'll…" Emily said.

"Tell who ever it is that I'll break their nose." I offered, guessing that it was Paul. Then the phone was taken out of her hands. "Kim, you're threatening the wrong person and with the wrong threat. And plus, you couldn't hurt me even if you wanted to!" Paul scoffed into the phone. Paul had recently started hanging out with Sam, Emily's fiancé. It seemed like he was always over at their place, practically eating everything in Emily's kitchen.

I was barely paying attention to the conversation now; trouble was possibly right around the corner. "Yeah, whatever. Now give the phone back to Emily or put it on speaker phone." I said, distracted. I was studying a statue that was staring at me. Its eyes stayed locked on mine, even when I moved. This was bad. If that turned out what I thought it was, well, I was in trouble and there was a good chance that I could die very shortly.

"You're on speaker. What's going on Kim? You always argue with me, telling me that I have a big head." Paul said. "Kim! Where are you? Are you alright?" I faintly heard Jared ask, sounding like he was completely freaking out. But I wasn't paying a lot of attention to his words or the fact that he was in the room as well.

"Huh? What? You have a big head Paul and a huge ego to go with it. I suggest that you get rid of it." I mumbled, eyes still on the statue. I slowly backed away from where the statue rested in a fountain. I never let my eyes leave the metal figure.

"Kim, what's going on? Is something wrong?" I heard Sam asked.

"Depends on how you look at it. Hey Emily, I don't need a ride anymore. Oh, and if Nico shows up, don't talk to him; I'm pissed at him. He claimed to know something about…. You-know-who that I didn't. As for how I got into Seattle… blame Nico's dad. Now, I've got to go, a statue is looking at me weird." I said before hanging up. The moment I hung up, the statue leaped off the small platform and charged. I turned and ran down the street, heading towards home.

It was around seven o'clock at night when I got to Emily's. I had gotten a lucky swipe at the automan's head and it thankfully shut down. I hated automons. They always seem to be attacking me.

I knocked on the door before walking into the house, smelling the strong wonderful smells of Emily's cooking. I was sore all over and just wanted to go to sleep, but I knew that Emily would be worried about me. Besides, with Dad out of town for the week on a business trip, Emily was the really the only person who cared about my whereabouts. I didn't look at my back because I was worried that it was worse than just the bruise I had be trying to tell myself. I was going to have to throw away both my jacket and pants when I got home. Luckily, nothing was ripped in a bad or embarrassing place, but it was ruined either way. Dirt, leaves, and oil covered my whole body.

"Hey Emily! Can I have some of those cookies? Or are all of them gone?" I called out, heading towards the kitchen, since that where I knew she would be. I heard something drop to the floor and the next moment I saw Emily running towards me. She hugged me so hard that I couldn't breathe. A sharp stab in my back made me let out a yelp in pain. Then she released me. I sucked in a deep breath, filling my lungs. The smell of the food was making my stomach grumble in hunger. "Someone was busy." I said as we walked back to the kitchen.

"I was worried about you. Are you hurt?" Emily asked rapidly.

"You figured out I was talking about an automon, right? Yeah, well, Hades decided to dump me in the middle of a busy road in Seattle. I think it was a form of punishment for arguing with Nico." Emily nodded her head, understanding. "Again? They have a liking for you. And you didn't answer my question. Are you hurt?"

I didn't say anything as I hopped up on the counter. I winced as my back brushed against something. Luckily, Emily didn't see, since she was too busy punching numbers into her phone. "Who are you calling?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Sam. I'm letting him know that you made it back okay. After you hung up, I couldn't stop them from looking for you. I promised Sam I would call if you made it back here safe and sound."

"Did you say anything to him? What does he know? I didn't know what to say without telling them but at the same time, letting you know what was going on. I'm sorry if I put any stress between you and Sam." I said, staring down at my hands.

"Sam doesn't know anything. I told him that you could take care of yourself and that it was your secret to tell. Though I think he's figured out that you're not mortal. Or at least, not normal." Emily answered.

"Gee thanks Emily. Now he won't leave me alone until he knows." I whined, snatching a cookie off a plate that was next to me.

"No, he will leave you alone if I have any say in it." Emily objected, smirking. I raised an eyebrow in response. "What did you do or tell him?"

"She told me that she wouldn't kiss me if I bothered you for answers." Sam's voice said. I swiveled my head to see Sam standing in the doorway, frowning at Emily. I laughed. "Way to go Emily!" I cheered, high fiving my friend.

Sam walked the rest of the way into the kitchen and over to Emily. Two other people followed him in. I nearly chocked on the cookie I was eating when I saw who was behind Paul. Jared was only wearing a pair of cutoff jeans. In fact, they all were shirtless. I couldn't stop staring at him. He looked frantically around the room before his eyes landed on me. He was over to me in a second. Before I could do or say anything, I was being pulled tightly in his arms. I froze, shocked. Did that statue actually kill me and I was in heaven? No, the burning pain that was growing in my back told me that I wasn't dreaming. I hissed quietly in pain and tried to pull away, but Jared wouldn't let go. I reached my hand to my back under my jacket under a particularly large tear. My fingers touched something warm and wet. I could feel the little blood draining from my face. I pulled my hand back and looked at it. It was stained red.
