CHAPTER THREE:

Two Years Ago:

Someone behind the shadows was watching the breath taking moment of Amy's and Ian's. He himself left a tear off but he was not obliged to help the both of them.

As soon as all the Cahills left the Gauntlet, he came out to the shadows and quickly carried his daugther bridal style. Hades, or better known as Amy's real father knew that she was not dead yet. Her heart was just beating very slowly which also caused her to breath slowly as well, but if another minute pass by, the percentage of her survival would lessen. He could not allow that to happen because he was not ready to lose another daughter. Her half-brother also needed her as he recently lost his sister.

The Lord of the Underworld transported himself and his daughter to Camp Half- blood infirmary in a lightning speed. By then, Chiron will have the infirmary ready and empty so he could have a moment with Amy.

They were in the infirmary in a flash. He quickly laid his daughter to the vacant clean white sheet bed. Before the God of the Underworld left, he gave a kiss on the forehead unto his daughter.

Back to the Present

Today, everybody thought that "Amy Cahill" was dead for two years. But they would be mistaken if they know about the unknown mysterious past of "Amy di Angelo".

Amy's POV:

A lot has happened in the past two years. First, I was on the edge of death by the end of the Clue Hunt. Then my father saved me from the prick of death. After that, I woke up in an infirmary of Camp Half-blood and saw a mythical creature, Chiron who was also informing that I was half mortal and half god.

But that wasn't the worst part, he told me that Dan wasn't my full blood brother just a half. He was a mortal and I was demigod. At first, I was slightly depressed knowing that Dan wasn't my full blooded brother and that I could never see him, Nellie, Uncle Fiske, my distant cousins and a certain Kabra again. But as time goes by, I realized that if they were here seeing me like this, they wouldn't be happy about it.

So I became more optimistic after that realization and I was trying to influence my brother, Nico to do the same. It was difficult at first but with determination, he wasn't as gloomy as before.

Before I knew it, I was a child of Hades. I was also feeling the same bond me and Dan ever had towards Nico. So I treated him as a brother even though he didn't want to.

After a week or two of me staying here in Camp Half blood, Clarisse decided to beat me up 'cause I'm a newbie. But she ended up beaten up by me. That was probably because I learn fast during sword practice and battle strategy. And being a Cahill has its advantages. And when I finally she knocked her out to the floor, my father finally decided to claim

Annabeth and I became close friends after the Clarisse incident. Percy also started to hang out with is since I and Annabeth were inseparable especially when we were in the library.

I spent my whole year in Camp with a whole lot of quest. On the following year I joined Kronos' army to be a spy for Camp Half-Blood. And last summer I fought for Olympus during the great second Titan War.

There was always the time I wished that none of this demigod thing happen. At times I wished that I was back with Dan, Nellie and Uncle Fiske in Boston. Or just hang out with some of the ex-competitors like a normal kid or in my situation a teenager. Or spend some time without worrying any monsters attacking. Or just have a simple date with a boy... Like Ian Kabra.

Oh dear Gods, how could I ever forget him. He is practically in my mind all the time. Whenever I hear a British accent I would let a tear out because I miss that accent so much. Every time I see couples have their moment especially the famous Percabeth I couldn't help but feel jealous. At times when I close my eyes I would see his marvelous face with that smile he gave me during the Gauntlet. When I'm gone to Lala land I would always try to remember the feeling when my hand touches his face. With that mere memory, it still gave me that sensational spark. I can't believe that I also missed his snobby and charming attitude. I even love the way he makes my heart beat faster whenever he is around and how he unconsciously make me stutter whenever he talks to me.

But the thing I miss the most is the kiss that manages to stop my heart to beat and make my lungs feel breathless. The kiss that we did in the Gauntlet wants me to hunger for more. I truly love the way it drives me out of this world, or the way how it makes my mind spin around, or the way it makes feel like a princess being kiss by of a one of a kind prince charming, or how those soft and sweet lips of his touches mine like fireworks. The kiss was like ecstasy. At night I would usually dream of him and me together and when I wake up from that beautiful dream I would usually cry myself to sleep. Why would the fates let me suffer like this?

I heard some footsteps coming from the doorway which drift me off of thinking about Ian. I was about to point my celestial bronze caliber 45 to whoever it was on the forehead until I heard my emo looking and annoying brother of mine, Nico. "Hey Amy, c'mon everybody is waiting for you."

"Go away," I groaned. I need some time alone; thinking about Ian made me my eye teary.

"C'mon Amy, get up! Annabeth is gonna kill me if you don't come with me!" I would normally laugh at my little brother's pleadings but right now I'm not in the mood right now.

"I said go away!" And I threw away one of my pillows at his face.

"I am not going out of this room unless you come out with me! I'm too young to die!" He was now pulling me out of the bed by pulling me by the feet. But I wasn't off my bed just yet because I grabbed hold unto the bed post.

"Nico, I am going to kill you myself if you don't let me go! And besides your already 50 plus already, so you are old enough to die as it is!" I shouted back at him. I was still struggling to hold unto the post because my little old brother of mine has grown stronger in two years so it was difficult for me to let go off his grip.

"Amy I'm starving to death and Annabeth wouldn't let me eat unless you're with me," he pulled me harder this time and my right hand gave up and let go off the post.

"I don't care! Now let me go!"

"Sis, you are not making this easy for me," he was taunting me now. And no one taunts me especially from my very old brother of mine.

"And I'm not planning too!"

"Ok, now don't tell me that I didn't warn you," Gods no, don't tell me he was planning to...

Before you know it, we were shadow travelling to the Hades table. My stupid brother of mine was standing with the same poise as we have left the room but I on the other hand was still lying down on mid-air then I landed on the ground painfully.

I stood up from the painful landing. I groaned from the pain I am feeling. "You are so dead, Nico!"

"What did he do this time?" Annabeth complained.

I didn't stand by to answer Annabeth's question but I started to chase Nico, who was trying to eat his burger while eating. "Why can't I eat my beloved burger in peace?"

"Because you interrupted my sleep!" I was a meter close to him by now. I was about to wrestle him to the ground but the fate had decided differently.

"Amy, could I talk to you for a minute." Chiron asked.
