YES! THE LONGEST UPDATE EVER! 3376 words. Aren't you proud of me? No? ... Oh well.

I zoned into what was really happening. Annabeth was doing some maths problems on the couch while looking at me once in awhile. Chiron was talking to Mr. D about something. I was only hoping they weren't talking about me.

Then Percy entered the room and sat beside Annabeth. Then, a boy entered the room next to him. He was probably as old as me and had messy black hair and black-brown eyes that were stone cold, reflecting his past pains and struggles. His skin was as pale a white out(I use them a lot in English)and he wore black skinny jeans and a black skull T-shirt. I started wondering if he cut his wrists.

No, Sage, not all emos cut wrists.

"Percy, Annabeth. Chiron's calling you about the war yesterday," He spoke in a quiet but demanding and threatening tone. The couple got up and walked over to the ping pong table. Then, the boy noticed me.

"Oh. Hi... I'm Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades," He introduced, putting out his hand for me to shake. I took it and smiled a tiny bit.

"I'm Sage Faust. Undetermined." I replied. He nodded looking at me up and down. My hair was reddish brown and had blonde highlights. My eyes were electric blue with swirls of silver and grey in them. My orange camp T-shirt was scrunched up from rolling around and my jeans were black and ripped. I had a feeling I saw him before. I looked at his hand. A skull ring? Yes, I knew him!

A few years ago, I was walking down the streets, when one of the bullies from my school tried to punch me. Nico had passed as I was trying my best to protect myself. He punched the bully in the gut and ran away before I could have thanked him! After that, I promised myself that I wouldn't depend on other people. I attended fighting and rock climbing. It wasn't exactly lessons since I couldn't afford lessons. My father tought me how to fight 3 times a week ever since the bullying. I went rock climbing in the closest cliff. Dangerous, yes, but I was determined to never ask anyone for help. My father, at first, said he would send her to lessons since climbing on a cliff without a harness would kill me, but after a few tactics of persuasion, I was able to convince him that I'd be fine. Still, there was many times I almost lost grip and fell to my death.

After that, I never saw Nico, until today. He was the reason I was in this position. No, not that I almost died. But that I found out I was a demigod. He was the reason I survived the war.

"You... Ohmigods! Thank you!" I smiled for real, and it probably was the first time I ever did that. Nico, on the other hand, looked confused. Maybe he didn't remember... It was only a year ago though, "You saved me from getting a punch in the face and making a fool of myself! Don't you remember?" His mouth made a O shape and curved slightly upwards.

"I knew it! There was this aura surrounding you but I wasn't sure." He smiled, probably for the first time in a few years. I rolled my eyes, making him shut up. There was silence between the two of us until Nico's mouth opened once again, forming an O.

"L-l-look up-p." He stuttered. I turned up to see and owl, and a lightning bolt, "You got claimed by two Olympians. CHIRON! YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS!" Nico shouted to the people at the ping pong table. Chiron and the others walked in just in time to see the two marks before they faded. I swore everyone's mouth dropped all the way to the floor and their eyes went wide.

"The blood line is determined. Zeus-Lightning user, King of gods, Lord of the skies. Athena-Wisdom inheritor, Lady of Olives and Owls. Hail, Sage Faust. Grand daughter of Zeus and Athena." Chiron announced. Everyone bowed to me. After a few seconds, everything returned to normal... Well almost. Everyone seemed to be scared of me a bit. Everyone except Thalia, Nico, Percy and Annabeth.

"So you're my... Uh... Grand sister or something?" Thalia asked.

"I guess so... Annabeth's too." I glanced at Annabeth but she looked a bit shocked.

"T-this-s h-h-hasn't happened in-n like a million years!" She stuttered. She waited a bit until she calmed down to continue, "No half-blood had married and had children for... forever! They either got killed or it didn't work out!" She blabbed on about the demigod history until Thalia covered her mouth and quickly took it away when Annabeth licked her palm.

"Ew... Annabeth, that's gross!" Thalia walked over to the sink to wash her hands. I looked at Chiron who was talking to Mr. D once again. He seemed busy so I asked Percy a question.

"Where will I sleep?" I rolled to the side of the bed, trying to get up. I sat up on the edge of my bed.

"Well... You can choose. Thalia doesn't use the Zeus cabin so you'll be alone in there. Or the Athena cabin if you want to be listening to stuff about Architecture everyday." Annabeth glared at Percy.

"Seaweed Brain," I almost fell off my chair, "Architecture is quite fascinating you know..." She started babbling off again. This time, Percy kissed Annabeth to make her stop. I made a face. I started to get up so I can leave the room as soon as possible when I noticed Nico. He hadn't talked since I got claimed. My feet were stronger than before, but pain shot through my back as soon as I started to walk. BAM! I collapsed in a heap on the floor. I was bored on the bed so I sat down, leaning on the wall.

"Guys? Can we do something? It's boring," I suggested.

"Sure. But what?" Percy asked.

"... Maybe Truth or dare?" Thalia said.

"'Kay. Everyone swear you'll tell the truth." Nico told everyone. Everyone swore and the thunder rumbled above our heads. I smiled. It reminded me a lot of what Zeus might be like.

"The rules are: You tell the truth, but if you don't, you will have to do what people in the game asks you to do for a whole day. If you don't want to tell the truth or do the dare, you will have to remove one piece of clothing. Jewelry, socks and other small things aren't included. Everyone got it?" Everyone nodded so the game began. Percy started the game.

"Truth or Dare... Nico?"

He rolled his eyes and replied, "Dare, duh." Percy has a twinkle in his eye which probably meant he was going to do something embarrassing. I didn't even want to ask what it was. The corners of his mouth rose as he spoke up again.

"Okay then. I've got the perfect one for you." I already didn't like the sound of it, "Kiss Thals for at least thirty seconds. Or vise versa. Which ever one." Nico visibly paled and his eyes widened. Not a good dare. Thalia was a Huntress of Artemis! Much less a Lieutenant of one! Percy was really an idiot.

"Really? You're officially an idiot." I spoke, voicing out my thoughts. I usually did that. Percy didn't look too affected by my comment. Maybe he got things like that a lot.

Nico hesitated and looked at Thalia. She was too busy glaring at Percy.

"I'm a hunter." She emphasised the word 'hunter'. It was exactly what I was thinking, "I can't just go around and kiss boys for a stupid dare I didn't even choose."

"I'll make it twenty seconds!" Percy bargained. I rolled my eyes and leant on the wall.

"Make it five. No more." Thalia raised an eyebrow, but still mouthed a thank you to me. Percy sighed and accepted. Nico grumbled something under his breath and prayed that Artemis wouldn't kill him. Boys.

Thalia turned bright red but reluctantly kissed Nico on the cheek. Nico turned redder than a son of Hades should be. I was glad Percy didn't say anything about where because if they actually kissed, the chunks I had finally brought down would come back up and it wouldn't have been a pretty sight. Five seconds passed and I coughed louder than needed, surprising Thalia, who wasn't paying attention. Nico was too red to process anything that was happening, whether it was the kiss or me coughing. Thalia jumped off as Nico let out a breath he had been holding. They were both strawberry red and scooted away from each other.

"Um... so, Annabeth. Truth or Dare." Nico smirked as if nothing had happened. Annabeth hesitated.

"Dare." She finally chose. Nico's smirk grew and opened his mouth.

"Go to the Aphrodite Cabin for a makeover." Her eyes grew and looked down, but to her despair, she wasn't wearing her jacket. She glared daggers at Nico and stomped off to the Aphrodite cabin. Percy and Nico shared looks and high-fived.

Minutes later, Annabeth returned looking like a real child of Aphrodite. Percy's jaws dropped to the floor for the second time that day, while Thalia, Nico and I were trying hard not to burst out laughing.

Annabeth was wearing blue eyeshadow with matching mascara, red lipstick, a shiny blue halter neck top, a short black ruffle skirt, white stockings and black knee-high boots. She would have looked good if it wasn't for the scowl.

"I'll get you Di Angelo. So... Sage." I felt like something bad was going to happen both ways, so naturally, I chose dare, "Okay then, burn down the Ares cabin." I raced through my brain. Ares, god of War. Not someone to get on your bad side. Head counsellor, Clarisse La Rue. Nope, not possible.

"No way, Annie." I replied as I took off my grey hoodie, "'Kay, now. Truth or dare, Percy." Annabeth snapped her head towards me as Percy opened his mouth.

"DON'T CALL ME ANNIE!" Annabeth yelled out before Percy could say anything. I rolled my eyes.

"Dare." Percy said, as if it was the most obvious thing on Earth. My mind ran through all the possible dares.

"Go to the kitchen, mix all the dressings and put it on a cookie." I smiled. I saw a kitchen just before I left the Big House 2 day ago. It stores things like mustard and tabasco as well as whipped cream and condensed cream to lemon dressing. It would be absolutely disgusting. Percy walked to the kitchen, not knowing how disgusting it would be.

He returned with a green paste covered cookie and looked at me. I took the cookie from his hand and added a bit more tabasco and wasabi. I gave it back to Percy and nodded. He took a bite out of the cookie and instantly turned green. Thalia was on the floor clutching her stomach and laughing at Percy's expression, making no move to help him, Nico was smiling, but didn't laugh, Annabeth was grabbing a glass of water while laughing. Percy rushed to the bathroom and returned a few moments after a bit of a 'clearing out'. He glared at me for quite a moment then turned to Thalia.

"Truth or Dare, Thalia?" Thalia looked troubled. By the look on Percy, saying "dare" would basically be a death wish, as saying "truth" would make her look weak.

"... Truth." Was her reply. I seriously thought she was going to say dare. Hey, it's Thalia we're talking about.

"Chickening out?" Percy teased. Now I really understand why Annabeth called him Seaweed Brain. Thalia looked like she was going to kill him for teasing her.

"NO! No one said truth yet!" I sniggered. She looked a bit... desperate?

And with Percy being Percy, he just had to say the worst truth possible.

"Do you like someone?" I mentally facepalmed.

"I. Have. An. Oath. What do you think?" Thalia bore her eyes right into Percy's face.

"Uhh... Take off your jacket?" He managed a small smile but cowered behind Annabeth. The statement sounded more like a question.

"... Fine." Thalia took of her hunter's parka, "Sage, Truth or Dare." Me? Again? Is it pick on the newbie day or something?

"Oh, uh, dare... I guess." I braced myself for the worst. But still, I wasn't expecting the next thing she was going to say.

"Kiss a boy- I'm not done yet- on the lips. Kiss the one you like more." Thalia smirked. Everyone gaped at her, wide mouthed. Yup, it definitely was 'pick on the newbie day'.

"Uh... Do I have to do this?" I whined. I whine, deal with it.

Thalia nodded, still having the large smirk place upon her face. I sighed.

"Okay, so this is just a dare. Nothing means anything." I said, just incase, to the boys. Or men... Whatever.

Percy bit his lip, looked at Annabeth who nodded, turned back to me and mumbled a fine. While Nico, on the other hand, blushed tomato red and managed to stutter out a okay.

I walked in between the two debating on who I like more. Percy, from what I heard was the Hero of Olympus. Two times. Jet black hair, sea green eyes. Unknown fatal flaw(but I heard Annabeth mutter something like "stupid Seaweed Brain and his loyalty"), and is something like 3 years older than me. I looked at Percy as he gasped and I took a step forward. Annabeth glared at me.

And there was Nico, the emo-like boy. Son of Hades, Ghost King. Dark hair, dark eyes, unknown fatal flaw(but from the rumors in Camp, it was holding grudges). I smiled to myself. I whipped around and pressed my lips on Nico's. Thalia stifled a gasp.

Note to self: Tell Thalia to be better at hiding things.

I forgot what I was doing. I shut my eyes as he closed his too. I was lost in thoughts, my lips were on his, but my mind was elsewhere.

Did I just ruin a possible friendship?

After what seemed like 3 seconds, we pulled away. Nico opened his mouth to say something but no words came out.

"I-I have to he-elp-p Chiron... BYE!" Percy said instead and ran out of the door.

"Me too..." Annabeth mumbled while slowly walking out of the door. Thalia ran to her cabin to talk to the other hunters. That left Nico and I alone. Again.

"What was that for!" He managed.

"What? It's a dare remember? It doesn't mean I like you anyways," I shot back. I stood up and walked to the door with the support of the wall. Nico stared at the floor not saying a word. I remembered that I had to move my belongings to the Zeus cabin. I slowly walked around without the support and eventually got outside.

"If you're going to stare at the floor forever you can stay, but I don't think that's such a good idea. It's almost lunch and you should eat!" I shouted to Nico from the door. I walked back to the Hermes cabin while eating a cube of ambrosia. I got my things packed and got out of the crowded cabin. When I reached the Zeus cabin, I set my things down and sat on a bed. The room originally had no furniture. I guessed that either Athena and Zeus decorated it(which I think was more of Athena, because it was the design department), or the Hermes cabin snuck out of Camp and stole everything. The chance was, it was the Gods. There was no way the Hermes cabin would do all this, unless it meant a lifetime of pranks to pull on me. There was a black and white queen bed and a full length mirror, a closet shaped like bolts of purple lightning, a plain white desk, a long bedside table with a cool lamp, a small purple couch and a huge geometrical purple shade rug. The room was way bigger compared to the Hermes cabin, probably because it was one of the Big Three's cabin. The Hermes cabin had a door made of wood and was painted in brown, though it was peeled off long ago. The Zeus cabin, on the other hand, was the biggest and bulkiest of all the cabins. It had polished bronze doors that shimmer like a hologram, and had lightning bolts streaked down them. The dome-shaped ceiling was decorated with moving mosaics of a cloudy sky and thunder bolts. It also thundered all the time. The cabin has alcoves with golden eagle statues with one intimidating statue of Zeus in the middle(which really didn't fit in). It had a large bookshelf but with hardly any books for my liking.

'They might let me borrow some.' I thought. I loved the cabin and it made me feel peaceful, but I had to fight the urge to draw things on the wall. I wanted to redesign the room; it's my Athena side of myself. I walked up to a desk and put down my favourite book that I brought from home. I had brought 5 books from home since I don't go anywhere without a book. The white table had all kinds of pens, pencils and an iPod with a message on it.

Dear Sage Faust,

I know you like music so take this.

It has all your favourite songs.

I have a haiku coming!

Music is so cool

They are awesome, just like me,

I am fantastic!

TTYL, Apollo.

I mentally facepalmed myself for reading Apollo's haiku. I understood what Percy meant when he said Apollo's haiku sucks. The iPod was silver with a metallic purple case with light blue patterns on it. I scrolled through the artist and found: Paramore, Green Day, Black Veil Brides, Panic! At the Disco, BOTDF and more(you get the idea that most of them were punk rock). I have lots of history behind my life of punkness. Tell you later.

I thanked Apollo and tucked the message in my pocket and lay on my bed, listening to Wake me up when September Ends by Green Day. I stared at the roof thinking about Nico and the kiss, wondering if I shouldn't have done it. I don't like Nico... only as a friend, but that seemed to freak him out a bit. ...Fine... Maybe he freaked out a lot, and so did I. I changed my decision at the last second and it felt wrong. Sure, he was cute, but it didn't seem right. We could be best friends, but never a couple. Percy on the other hand had something. I understand why Annabeth would like him; he had this something that makes people naturally like him. At first I thought I liked him, but now... well he's my Best friend. My brother. Just that. I know I've only known Percy for a day or two, but it seemed like I knew him for my whole life. Considering that I would have been kissing my brother, it was a better choice to kiss Nico.

I buried my face in my pillow and tried to clear my thoughts. It was almost lunch and the bell should go off soon so I sat back up after a few minutes, and ran to the Athena cabin for books.

Knock knock

The door opened with a full swing to reveal a smiling Annabeth.

"Hey Sage! Whatcha doin'?" She invited me inside. I was glad she didn't say anything about what happened back in the Big House infirmary.

"Can I borrow a few books? There are literally no books in the Zeus cabin and I was wondering if you can have me borrowing books from time to time?" I asked.

"Yeah! Sure. Take as many," Annabeth answered."Just take good care."

"'Kay. Thanks sis." I picked 10 books from the shelf and left the cabin. I put the books on the shelf once I got back to my cabin. I started to read, when the horn buzzed. I got up and left for lunch. It was going to be a long day...


Oooookaaaay! I know that chapter was a tiny bit awkward... but it's the longest I've done!

R-E-V-I-E-W! PLEASE! I'M DESPERATE! And I don't say that much! Okay? So... R-E-V-I-E-W! Make me happy!
