'Trust me, Stolls, I will do it fast to reduce the pain' I winked at them

'I wish you were kidding, Sugar.' They glared at me and got up. They offered me hand.

'Oh please, I'm not that weak.'

'Strong enough to consider the fastest way to kill us'

We left the cabin and walked slowly to the Hypnos' Cabin. It looked like an old-fashioned prairie house. And seemed so dangerous. Even more than the cabin with blood red color and bulky kids and spears. The wall made by mud, and at the entrance there was Hypnos' symbol. A tree with water of Lethe river dripping. The air in this cabin smelled like a fresh laundry. The soft violin music played from the cabin. There were so many empty fine bed here. With soft pillows and warm blankets. Three kids were sleeping in peace, and murmured occasionally. I found it was easy to scan the condition, even the only light source was the hearth, but Travis and Connor didn't either. I wrapped 6 dust-covered daggers and 2 swords. I walked toward the sleeping kids and frisk for weapon. I wondered if they ever used them. Mostly their weapons were in the deepest place of their trunks. After I wrapped all the weapon, I came to help Travis and Connor

'Have you done your work, guys?' I yawned at them

. 'Go, go out Sugar.' They dragged me out. I was stumbled at my own feet.

'Whatca doin?!' 'Oh, gods, the alarm will ring in '

*ten*' Travis took a good look at the sleeping kids

'*nine*' Connor pushed me faster. I got to my feet and switched to running mode.

'*eight*' we got closer to the cabin door. Their flashlight flashed wildly and furiously. I grabbed their arms and led the way.

'*seven*' we had left the cabin behind us and gasped for our own. At the count of three, we had already sat panting in front of our cabin. Connor showed his crocodile grin and started counting '*two*'

I yelped with a smirk '*one*!' Then, we heard the alarm bells ringing so loudly, we could even hear them. Suddenly, the Hypnos' cabin looked murderous. There were chaos there. I got to my feet and offered them my hands. They pushed me gently to our cabin. The alarms were still ringing when I reached my bed.

That night, I got the most comfortable sleep in my entire life.

#*#

'Hey, Sugar! Ready for today?' Two brown haired boys grinned at me.

'What? When? Uh' I placed my fingers to my temple

'What's wrong?' Connor leaned toward me as threw my towel at me. 'Hurry up, we have to go to the breakfast! I don't want to be late!'

'Uh, okay, just get away from me' I felt my way to the bathroom. I was so sleepy. But, how could this cabin be so quiet? Were we that late? The hot water ran through my back. My head was dizzy and pounding. I brushed my teeth and let the mint wake me up. Just then I realized, I was in the darkness.

When you could see well in the darkness, you would be confused if it was the day or the night. I got out from the shower and planned for revenge. Travis and Connor had absolutely been under their blankets. I looked for clock and saw it was 2 in the morning but I was as fresh as a toddler for his first day for school. I tied my hair and went outside. It was a cold night. I found myself walking toward the beach. Wow, there was a beach here. It just smelled like Percy Jackson. How it could be I didn't know. I sat there and stared at the moon. The light seemed to lull me. But I couldn't sleep.

I saw a boy, with deadly pale skin and dark circle around his eyes came to me. I didn't know how he came here, it just seemed like he popped up next to me. His black hair was shaggy and messy as if he was just out of bed. He wore aviator's jacket and brought along a black sword. He looked strong and dangerous. Not as Percy Jackson, but still, dangerous. He held out his hand

'Nico di Angelo. Pleased to meet you' he smiled, I meant, was trying to. I spotted a silver skull ring he wore. '

Nyre Litt' He nodded and sat beside me. 'Have I seen you before?'

'I'd be surprised if you have' he said.

'You demigod?'

'Yes. Son of Hades'

Actually, I had taken a fancy to Hades, well, you know, god of the death. I had been in this place for like several hours and had to believe that gods existed. And to make everything worse, believe that I was one of them's daughter.

'Have you found your godly parent?' Somehow I knew he had already known my answer

'Naw' I yawned.

'Just wait, for your fifteen birthday. Your godly parent will claim you. And have to'

'Um, why? They are gods, right? Why they have to do something?'

His expression even more grim 'Percy Jackson, he made them swear on the river styx that they will claim their children when they turn 15'

'Uh oh'

'In a week, isn't it?'

'How do you know?'

'Show me your palm, Nyre' I held out my left palm.

There was handwritten words "July, 4'th" 'Have you been stalking me?' I turned at him with suspicious face

'No, just investigating

' 'What's the point? To know your opponent weakness point, to stab them in their bed?'

'Something like that' he shrugged. I dragged myself away from him, but, I found I just got even closer to him. I saw him smiling a bit, maybe grinning

'By the way, what are you doing in 2 in the morning? Here?'

'Talking to you, aren't I?' He raised one eye brow 'What about ya? Sat here alone, holding the sand.'

'I, I love the night...' I gasped for air 'it seems much comfortable for me.'

'Me too. Specially the darkness.' I turned my face to him. Our faces were just parted like 2 inches. He smelled like dandelion, I knew not why. And soil, but after the rain. He tried to smile, but I could tell he didn't do it so often 'And alone'

'Can you see well in the darkness?'

'Not really. Not as good as you. I just, know where to go' It was clear. He had been stalking, or investigating, me. And, from the way he talked, awkward, confused, It seemed as if he stopped talking for a long time.

'Look!' I pointed at the night sky. The stars were glowing bright. And, I was really sure, I saw Nico smiling, for a second, then, grim.

'Why, what happen?'

'I.. I remembered my sisters.'

'You have sisters?'

'Yeah, they had died. I brought one back to life though. Hazel, she was Roman'

'But, the other?'

'She, Bianca, had chosen reborn.'

'Sorry. But, it must be awesome. I, I hope, never mind...' I guessed he knew what I meant. I wanted to bring him back to life, but, I'm not sure how to. And, what if, he had chosen reborn? I rested my back in the warm sand, and so he did.

Here I was, laying on my back in the beach with stranger son of god of the death and wealth who brought sharp black sword that looked like going to absorb you. And maybe, not like, more like, was. He looked so powerful. So strong. I found my hands shaking. The night was way too cold. What would he think if I crouched closer to him? It doesn't take another minute for me to fall asleep in this cold night.

Like usually, the sun slapped my face to say good morning. The scent of dandelion got stronger, I wondered what he was doing, but, he was nowhere to be seen. It must be getting warmer since my hands stopped shaking. But I realizes, I was covered in aviator jacket.

Nice of him. But I didn't know where I could find him to return his jacket. I decided to put on the jacket and walked to the cabin. 8 in the morning, must be time to get up.

I found Connor and Travis looking for someone called Nyre. I walked closer and poke them in the back

'Hey, guys, what are you doing? Hurry up, we're late 6 hours! The breakfast start in 2 in the morning! Two hours after twilight, what a rational!' Savage sarcasm slipped out from my mouth and my lips curled to an irony smile.

'Oh my, Nyre, don't get mad! We're just, hey, where have you been?' Travis stared at me, astonished

'No! Everyone must be grateful to be woken up at 2! What?' No, they weren't staring at me, but my jacket, I meant, his.

'Whose-' before Connor continued his question, I slipped between them and grabbed them in the arm, dragging them to the dining hall.

'Hurry, this isn't sarcasm, I'm starving' They grinned and followed me jogging. I let go of their arm and waved at a blonde. She grinned at me and ran toward us.

'Hey Annabeth'

'Hey Nyre! Are they, bothering you?' She looked over my shoulder to, no doubt, Travis and Connor.

'Of course no!' Travis peeked from my shoulder '

We have been, what? Taking care of her!' Connor rested his arm at my shoulder

I let a grown escaped from my mouth 'including woke me up in twilight'

'Holy Athena' she stared at Nico's jacket and seemed to be thinking 'yours?'

'Nope, I'm cold, got this somewhere. Hurry, I'm so, so starving' I could tell from her expression she was not completely convinced. But the sight of Percy swept them away. Annabeth looked slightly cheered up. She walked to his table, table with trident, alone.

'Morning, Seaweed Brain'

'What a nice thing in the morning to say, Wise Girl.'

'Just for you' she smiled sweetly teasing.

She walked to her own cabin table, with a campers that looked like her, but not exactly.

'Where's the food?'

'Just wish, they will come to your plate' That sounded incredibly ridiculous but, I wished anyway. Salad. And, oh my, it appeared suddenly.

Than an idea ran through my head Three glass diet coke, I wished. Mentoses in ice cubes I wish. I poured the ice to Connor's and Travis'. And poured non mentos one to mine. Hypnos' cabin came in a bad condition. Their eyes was bloodshot and surrounded in dark circles. Their hair were terribly messy. They sat in silent. And I whispered to Travis and Connor 'cheer?' I held my glass up, and they did the same. When I drank, I wished the ice cubes to melt and...

Dummm..

'What the hell, Sugar!' They glared at me, and I, just, pretended to be innocent Just then, a man with pot-belly and strange Hawaii clothes -and all the campers- looked at me.

'Who is she, Chiron?'

'Nyre Litt' the centaur guy, in wheelchair told the man.

His eyes was purple. Maybe it was like, yeah, strange gen, alexandria maybe, that would not allow any hair to grow in your body part except your head... But it was clearly not. It was fire, purple fire. 'Nick Light, welcome, welcome, well, I don't remember having a daughter lately.' He watched me with his distracting eyes

'Nyre Litt'

'Yea, whatever'

'Sorry, what did you mean?' You knew your world was messed up when a hawaii clothes clad stranger pot-belly man with purple eyes looked at you as if you might be his daughter.

'Controlling diet coke, that's clear!' Suddenly, a name hit my head.

'Dionysus?'

'I prefer Mr. D, but, yeah, are you my daughter?' I caught a glimpse of Connor and Travis.

'Well, my father was mortal. Did you just tell me you were also my father, Mr. D?'I raised one eyebrow.

'I'm not so interested in man, so I wished I'm not.' He disappeared and reappeared in his seat.

'Having two father isn't great' Connor whispered to me.

'That's why I'm not sure about Hermes'

'But...' Connor was about to say something when Travis told us to go to the hearth. We lined up, and followed the other campers. In front of me was Travis, and Annabeth, Percy, and a tall, muscular girl. They threw their best food from their plate and wished the name of their godly parent. Travis threw the best grapes from his plate while saying 'Hermes'

I threw the best egg from my plate, and said slowly 'Whoever you are, just, show me' I followed Travis to the table.

He whispered to me 'So, did you control the cola?'

'Of course no idiot. Just put some mentos, and wait the react. Didn't you know the reaction?'

'Well, no' Connor appeared beside him. 'Now, Dionysus and most the camper will start thinking you are one of his children'

What the heck was this. My entire life was totally fucked up. He couldn't be, of course he could. He was a god after all. What if I had two fathers...

'Hey, which one, having two fathers or find out you're adopted?'

'Having two father is horrible' Connor stated

'I agree'

'Nah. Maybe I was adopted...'

We fell on silent as I dug my food. They wished their colas to be lemon tea. I chewed slowly, and I finished my food. The first day began so fast. And I got much trouble, no doubt.

The first class was sword class with Percy and Annabeth as coach. Well, senior I thought

. 'And here's how to disarm your opponent-' He spun his sword (I swore it had been a pen five minutes ago) toward Annabeth's and just that, her sword kissed the ground

'Really guys, I'd prefer fight Jason to Annabeth'

'Nah, as ready as ever' A blond boy pulled his sword out. It looked like gold, kind of rare here. Most of campers used bronze. Calestial Bronze.

'Boys, I'm sure you two would be good at killing each other, but please.' Annabeth rolled his eyes

'Well, he won't even hurt you. No blood, what's the point? Let him fight Jason!' A tall, muscular, the same girl I saw in the hearth yelled

That girl got under Annabeth skin, that she started to aim Percy's sword. Brought back to reality, he swung his sword and Annabeth's sword fell.

'That's how to disarm in moving motion' Percy scanned the campers and continued

'Now, you can fight each other. Remember, several cuts is acceptable, but no fracture.'

He and Annabeth walked scanning us. I got a bulky boy as opponent. His eyes were rather mad and I could tell from his expression, he was blood-thirst, must be Ares' kid. I gripped the sword Annabeth chose for me too tight my knuckles turned white.

'Really, I got this scrawny one?' My hands were shaking as Percy told him to shut up

'C'mon, don't cry. I'll go easy on you'

He drew his sword toward my cheek, maybe eye if I didn't duck and used my sword to shield me, I felt my hand spun my sword but he pulled away his sword. He hit my side with the flat of his blade. I fell, numb and hurt. I got to my feet and swiped my sword to his head. I could have killed him IF it was allowed, instead I cut several hairs of him. He glared at me in rage and ran his sword to my feet. I jumped and hit him with the flat of my blade in the back. He slashed his blade to my chest, gladly I took off Nico's jacket. Blood dripping from my clothes. But I wasn't give up that easy. I pursed my lips together while swinging mine to his. His gaze hardened and he slashed my cheek. I torn his t-shirt to wipe his pride from his damn face. I was about to disarm him when he slashed my upper hand. I fell to the ground to slashed his feet. He stabbed his blade to my shoulder. I bit back a scream.

'Enough, guys.' A strong hand hold me in stomach. I looked over my shoulder to see Travis. Percy was in the middle of me and that brutal guy.

'I told you to disarm, not kill.' He glanced at me and shook his head. I looked to the grass and saw a blood, dripping from my left cheek, upper arm, middle chest -gladly my heart was safe-. My new orange T-shirt were tattered revealing a few spots of my bare bruised skin. My opponent was not so better. His hair was in bad condition, his denim was soaked in blood, his t-shirt was a lot more tattered than mine, but his injuries were better. I knew better than hit him with my sword's blade. Well, one or two as a lesson was acceptable.

'Okay. Let's just finish this' I straightened and reached my sword ready. He did the same. Everyone made a circle to see us. I gripped my sword tightly and spun around, avoiding his blade. Again, he slashed my waist, rounding. A piece of fabric fell. The blood ran to my cheek as I aimed for his neck. I slashed his chest, lightly, just to make a cut. I reached his sword, but he hit me in the nose, hard. I backed away closing my eyes. He thundered to slash my left leg. He slashed my palm.

The idea hit my head like a truck. He couldn't disarm. I gripped my sword tightly and gritted as the blood dripping rapidly. I spun my sword and he dropped his sword.

'Really, you have to know how to disarm people without slashing their palm.' I laughed harshly. Connor walked to me

'You okay? He's a bit wild'

I stumbled to him. 'Yeah, it's okay. Just need a new T-shirt'

'D'you want me to accompany you?'

'No, no, I can.'

I walked slowly to the cabin. Oh, gods, I was wrong.
