NICOS P.O.V (UNEXPECTED!)
There's something strange about Raisa. Everyone thinks she is a daughter of Athena but if you looked close enough you can tell she looks nothing like Athena or any of her children. Most people think she has looks on her dads side. I don't Believe it for a second. The past few days she changed. She looked tired and she wasn't that active she did a lousy job at sword practice and she was taken down by Katie once. Then the prophecy came. The look on Leo's face was hilarious. But I'm still worried. So I ran after Leo when he walked into a cabin. Raisa was laying in her bed. Her eyes were puffy and red like she had been crying. Probably a dream. Leo nudged her and she didn't wake up but then he whispered something in her ear and she woke up instantly looking around frantically. Raisa's face was beet red. "What do you want Valdez?" She asked. Leo looked nervous. "Oh there was a prophecy about me you and ...your mom" he said slowly. Wait there's a prophecy about Athena too? "Oh you mean you me and Khione" she said even slower. I knew it! There was something different about her. I expected Leo to jump up and yell What? He said "um yeah." So he knew?! Why didn't he tell us? Oh um can you excuse me for a moment? She said. "Oh yeah shure" Leo said sounding worried. They both walked out of the cabin I followed Raisa through the woods. She sat down next to a tree and started crying into her hands. I allowed myself out of the shadows. And looked as silent sobs racked her body. "Hey" I said as I sat down next to her. She looked up and pulled out her dagger. When she saw it was just me she put it away. "What do you want Death boy?" She asked. "Oh I just wanted to talk ice girl" I said. Raisa's eyes widened. "What are you talking About?" She asked. "Oh you know what I mean." I said. "Yeah I do." She said sadly. "How did you find out?" She asked. Oh how am I supposed to tell her I was stalking her? "I over heard you and Leo talking." I said quickly. "Please don't tell anyone!" She said pleadingly. "Why don't you want me to tell anyone?" I asked. "I know what my mom did and if I come waltzing in like nothing happened people might think I'm working for Khione and everyone won't trust me anymore because they think I'm the daughter of Athena ." Raisa replied. "Oh well I've been down that rode..." I said. Raisa looked confused now. "What do you mean?" She questioned. "I never was trusted. No one liked me. But trust me it gets better" I responded. "It does?" She asked. "Yes it does. You should tell them." I said. Raisa sat there staring at me for a while. "Do you have a secret? One that you told someone before? Is that how you know it gets better?" She asked. I stiffened. "No" I said a little to quickly. "Well Percy said every hero has their fatal flaws. So what's yours?" I flinched a little when she said Percy's name. I hope she didn't notice but just my luck she did. "Does your secret have to do with Percy?" She asked. "Ugh maybe! Why do you care so much?" I asked. "Because you just said I should tell the truth but here you are lying to me!" She yelled. " I used to like Percy okay!" I yelled back. Then I covered my mouth. Raisa looked at me like she didn't hear what I said." Okay so like guys why does it matter?" She said calmly. "Because I am different I always have been. Everyone's afraid of me." I said quietly. "Is there anyone you like now?" She asked. There is no escaping Raisa is there? "Will solace" I mumbled. "Who?" Raisa asked. "Will solace!" I said a little bit louder. "Oh the Apollo kid?" She asked. "Yeah" I said. "Go tell him." She urged. "No" I said. "go tell him!" She urged again. "No!" I said again. "You go tell him. If you don't I will!" She said. "Ugh fine" I said. "Yay!" She said. Then her eyes lit up and she gasped. "What?" I asked. "SOLANGELO!" She screamed. I face palmed. "Really? A ship name already?" I groaned. "are you sure your not an Aphrodite kid?" I teased. Raise gasped in n fake horror. "OH! My lipstick looks awful! I must stay out of sight, DON'T LOOK AT ME!" she yelled. We both cracked up laughing. "wow that's the best impression of an Aphrodite kid in the world!" I said with no sarcasm whatsoever. I stood up and so did Raisa. "Now go tell him" she said with a smile. I pulled her into a hug (which I never do!) "thank you!" I said. I heard rustling behind me but I saw nothing. Probably just the wind. And I ran back to camp. I walked into the infirmary and went right to the main office. I saw will standing on top of a stools there looking over medical books. "Hey" we both said at the same time. "I have something to tell you" we both said again. I saw will blush? Since when was will the kind of guy to get all... I don't know. "You go first" we both said AGAIN! "Fine lets both say it at the same time. 1.2.3..." I said slowly. "I like you!" We both said. I blushed. "What!" Will said. I smiled. "Wow I didn't think that would work I thought you would say no and then we couldn't be friends-" I cut off his rambling with a kiss. He kissed me back. Wills lips were warm and comforting against mine, I wish I could stay like this forever but sadly we are half humans and even half humans need air so We broke apart. "Wow" I breathed. "Yeah" he said quietly. We put our arms around each other and walked out of the infirmary smiling. Piper was standing in the doorway. "FINALLY!" She yelled. "COME GET EM'" she yelled. The whole ares cabin picked us up and headed towards the lake. "wait what are you- OH GODS! NOOOOOO!" Will and I screamed as they threw us in the the lake. I took will's hand and shadow traveled to the hades cabin. We ran behind a tree where the ares kids and piper were. Meanwhile... Where did they go? "Asked Piper. Looking into the water. "Percy!" Piper yelled. "Percy came running out of his cabin. "What's Up!" Percy asked. "Nico and will just disappeared under the water!" Piper said. "OHMYGODS!" Percy yelled as he jumped into the water. Two demigods stood behind a tree laughing. "Do you think we should tell them were here?" Asked will. "Nah I've never had this much fun!" Replied Nico. That was the first time Nico had smiled in a long time. To be honest, it felt good.
LEO'S P.O.V (during Raisa talking to Nico)
So that just happened. I sat in my cabin waiting for Raisa to come back. Go into the woods. The voice in my head said. But it wasn't my voice it was a female and it was strangely familiar. I felt a cold shiver down my spine. I ran out of my cabin and went straight to the woods. For some reason I knew exactly where to go. When I came upon Zeus fist I heard two faint voices. I started running towards the voices, then I came to a clearing and saw two people I didn't see who they were because I was pushed behind a tree. I didn't see anyone. I tried to move but I couldn't i tried to push through the force that was holding me in place but a sharp pain formed in my stomach and I stopped resisting. After a few minutes of standing I felt myself get lighter. I tried to move again and very slowly my finger twitched and I took a step forward so I could see behind the tree. My heart stopped. I could feel myself stop breathing for a second. It was Raisa and Nico. They were sitting down holding hands. Nico stood up and Raisa did to, they started hugging! Look at them, The voice from before said, they have something you don't. They have trust and love and nothing else. She used you, she never loved you, you were always the outsider of the group the misfit the FREAK! Istarted runningback through the forest. I sat down next to the lake. I heard someone whisper, freak,freak,freak,FREAK. The whispers got louder and faster. I put my hands over my ears Hoping to stop the voices but the voices seemed to be inside my head. "Please stop" I voices only got louder. "Please stop" I pleaded. This time the voices actually stopped. Now I heard Raisa's voice in my head. I never loved you. Her words were cold and harsh and not like hers at all. Suddenly I felt a cold breeze. I looked up and saw a woman looking at me with kind eyes, there was something wrong with her though. She had blonde hair and tanned skin but that wasn't weird at all, it was her eyes, they were a light blue colour. This woman radiated power. "Dont worry little hero all your pain will be gone soon" she said with a syrupy sweet voice. "What do you-" suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my forehead. My head felt empty and cold all of the sudden. The woman was gone. "Goodnight my little hero" I heard her voice say. Then the world went black.
