Artemis Silver huntres -She's not going to live... jk i don't really know. And Apollos somewhere in Florida 'cuz apparently, Florida doesn't want to participate in winter this year! (United States)

Lasturbo- BRAINZ!

General POV

The Hunters were all gathered around the campfire discussing tomorow's plans when the bushes parted revealing a tall brooding figure carrying a familiar looking girl. [I wonder who...?e boy stopped and fell to his knees. He sobbed into the girls raven hair and rested her head on his torn up jeans. He lifted up her shirt to her still bleeding gash. The gash started healing once Nico started conjuring a spell. Her blood was starting to fade from their clothes and her body showed no sign of her ever fighting anything. For a moment, one might see her as a mortal emo chick, only for a moment though. Thunder and lighting formed above them. Rain poured soaking everyone but Nico and Thalia.

For a moment, it was just them, Nico and Thalia. Thalia and Nico. That moment was ended by Phoebe pushing Nico off Thalia. Her head hit the the cold ground and Phoebe was soaking Thalia. Nico and Thalia, though separated were still dry. Artemis, in her godly form, took Thalia in her arms and set her near the campfire. Nico didn't follow. While Phoebe was smearing yellow medicine on her forehead, Nico was trying to contact Thalia's lost soul.

A ghost resembling Thalia was near a tree, the tree was actually one of the millions of Underworld portals only accessible by ghosts. Thalia looked around one last time, she saw herself, she saw the Hunters and right before she was leaving, she saw a boy. A boy with a black aura, but she wasn't afraid. She ran to him and gave him a hhug, she thought he couldn't feel it, but he did. And surprise surprise, he hugged her back. She kissed him, and he kissed her back. There was no electricity, there was no Five Hour Energy buzz, there was none of that. Only a sinking feeling they would never see each other again.

Her lips were soft against his. His lips were salty from his tears. A few moments passed before they broke apart. He wanted nothing more than to hold her, to touch her again, even just to here her speak was just enough.

She turned around again and headed back to the portal. Nico was hunched over again, speaking incoherent vowels. He didn't turn around to see her leave, he just couldn't.

"Nico." She whispered. Only Nico could hear her.

"Thalia." He said. He finally met her gaze. She was entering the Underworld when she stopped. An invisible force field was keeping her from entering the Land of the Dead. A force field created by the Ghost King himself, Nico de Angelo. Thalia tried multiple times to get through, but she couldn't. It took her some time to realize who did this to her, and when she did she ran straight to him pounding on his hunched up back with her balled up hands.

"Why?" She cried.

"I'm sorry." he whispered. "I can't loose anyone else."

She stopped hitting him. Thalia circled around looking straight in his eyes. His black void like eyes seemed to get her into a trance. Nico saw this and looked away, he never let anyone look at his eyes because they did just that. Thalia held his face in her arms anyways, taking the full view of Nico de Angelo. Many people thought he was a monster, a cold hearted beast. But what Thalia saw was just the complete opposite, a fallen angel who who was just misunderstood. He may be dark and brooding, but that was because he wanted people to look at him that way. So he didn't have to speak to people, so he couldn't get attached. She hugged him once again, and he hugged her back. This time though, that electricity was back, that buzz in his chest was back, that warm feeling started growing in her stomach.

"I'm sorry." He said once again.

Nico started getting up again. He started going back to the woods and Thalia was following him. Some Hunters noticed him leaving and shouted athim to come back and tell them what happened, but he drowned them out. Thalia was right beside him, talking to him, laughing and joking with him. A smile found it's way on his face, but tears were still streaming as they walked. They finally made it to Nico's camp sight. Anger took over and he kicked his lean-to spreading wood and leaves everywhere. He picked up his belongings and stood near Thalia near the campfire. They snuggled together, telling stories and acting like she wasn't dead. They stayed like this through the whole night, when the sun came up, it seemed duller.

Nico and Thalia formed a plan. They would get back to camp, tell the others what happened and send Thalia off the right way. With only the clothes on their backs and a torn black backpack, they went on there way to camp.

After about a week of traveling, they finally made it past the property line, well almost. Nico slumped over Thalia's tree, not knowing it was hers. Thalia was trying to hold Nico up, but his weight was starting to crush her. Nico face planted, his head was passed the property line, but the rest wasn't. A blond haired girl with grey eyes ran to them. She passed through Thalia completely and forced a piece of ambrosia into Nico's mouth. A dark haired boy with sea green eyes jogged towards them. Him and the blond girl helped Nico up and they put him in his cabin. Thalia was stuck outside the property line, waiting for Nico to wake up.

Nico POV

I woke up in a familiar black room. I was in the Hades cabin at camp. I woke up with the sun in my face. Stupid Apollo with his stupid radiant energyness. For a moment, I thought everything was alright, but then I remembered- Thalia was dead. I ran outside, tears were forming in my eyes and ran halfway across camp to the property line. Where was she? I looked around, she was no where in sight.

"Hey!" I heard her voice.

"Where are you?" I asked trying to sound like I wasn't just having a panic attack.

"Up hear!" I followed her voice up towards her tree. On the lowest branch, which was about 10 feet above the ground, was Thalia, safe and sound, or at least, as much as a ghost can be.

"There you are! How long have I been out?"

"Um, about two days." TWO DAYS!? I left her here for two days?!

"I LEFT YOU HERE FOR TWO DAYS?!"

"Calm down Death-Breath. Time's faster when you're dead." That word, dead. I hated it when she called herself that. It makes me cringe just thinking of what happened a week ago.

"Well, you gonna invite me in camp or what?" She smirks.

"Nah. Your gonna have to beg to get in," I test her.

"Uggg. I was hoping you wouldn't say that."

"What? I didn't quite hear you."

"Fine. Please Please Please let me in camp," she pouts and gives me her puppy dog eyes.

"OK."I say simply.

She jumps from the branch, rolls on the floor a bit and lands in front of me. She stepped her foot in, testing the force field. When she was the way through it, she looked around. There were a lot more campers now than the last time she was here. I lean against her tree and watch her as she stares at everything. I spotted Percy and Annabeth looking around frantically looking for me. Thalia probably saw them too because she ran over to them and tried to hug them. No luck. She was a ghost and only the Ghost King, could actually touch ghosts. Percy was the first one to see me, he poked Annabeth in the ribs and started jogging to me. Annabeth passed right through Thalia leaving her with tears in her eyes.

"I thought you said you weren't coming back Death Breath." Percy said out of breath. It only sounded right when Thalia used my nickname. When someone else did, it felt like they were talking about someone else.

"Nah I changed my mind. You guys, I think we need to talk." I said slowly.

"About what?" Annabeth jogged to us next.

"About Thalia." I saw Thalia cringe when I said her name.

"The Hunter? What about her? Did you meet her?" Percy kept asking me question after question. Thankfully, Annabeth clamped her hand above his mouth to shut him up.

"Uh.. something like that. You know what guys, I'll tell you at lunch." I left them in my usual moody Nico way. The other campers where moving out of my way as I stormed inside my cabin. Thalia was sitting on my bed.

"Everything looks so different." She says breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah, more campers. More trouble." I chuckled. She kept looking at me with strange smile on her face.

"What?" I asked. Did I have something on my face?! Do I look bad? Did my morning breath really smell like death?!

"I like it when you laugh. You should do it more often." I smiled at that. Thalia can always make me laugh no matter what.

"So how are we gonna break it to Annabeth and Percy?" Her smile faded slightly.

"Well... Maybe we don't have to!" I say. I know it's a long shot but maybe Hades will let her live. Kind of like Eurydice and Orpheus.

"Maybe I can convince my dad to let you go?" I tried to convince her that this might work, but she wasn't budging. She is SO stubborn! It's a big three thing.

"I don't know Nico. He probably has better things to do! Nico, just stop this! I'm dead! Face it and let me go!" She stormed out of my cabin and I saw her enter the Zeus cabin. She passed right through the door.

I couldn't let her go. I can't let anyone go. I haven't let Bianca go, I haven't let my mom go, and I won't let Thalia freaking' Grace go! I shadow traveled inside her cabin and found her tucked underneath her covers, wet tears on her face.

I touched her face and wiped the tears away. She held my hand to her cheek. That buzz was back again, I only felt it when I was with her.

"Go away!" She mumbled.

"If you want me to go away you kinda need to let go of my hand first." She let go of my hand and dug deeper into her blanket. Not the reaction I was expecting.

"Your 'plan' isn't going to work Nico. The only other time Ha- I mean your dad let a someone leave the Underworld was like a bazillion years ago. And look where they are now!"

"But in the end. They still ended up together!"

"AFTER HE DIED!"

"Oh yeah... forgot that."

"I'm telling you it won't work!"

"There's no harm in trying!" An evil genius grin spread across my face and I grabbed her arm. This sort of reminded me of how Dad got Persephone, like father, like son.

"Oh my gods! Nico de Angelo what are you thinking?" She was frowning at me disapprovingly, but I saw a hint of a smile near the corners of her lips.

"Hold on tight! We're going to the Underworld." I pulled a few pomegranates out of my pocket and popped them in my mouth.

"You know this is pretty much kidnap!" She started giggling. I jumped of the bed and motioned for her to get on my back.

"I know. Does this remind you of something? Like my dad and Perse- I mean his wife?"

"You too?! Next thing you know, your gonna try and ra- ahhhhhhhhhhh"

A dark casm sucked me and Thalia in the ground. We were falling millions of miles beneath the ground. I hope no one misses me up there. I felt like Percy and Annabeth down into Tartarus. It didn't take nearly as long to reach our destination like them though.

"raaaape me!" Thalia landed hard on my back, but being a ghost she felt like mist. We landed near the entrance of the Underworld. A few ghost girls heard Thalia and started weeping... oops. [A/N This isn't funny :(]

"Can you get off my back?" I asked her.

"Uh oh yeah." She started getting off me when I realized that she was knee deep in something. Instead of the hard obsidian rock I was used to landing on, we landed on midnight black carpet. That moved. And barked. Cerberus!

"We have to get off NOW!" I grabbed Thalia's hand and slid off Cerberus' tail. I've always wanted to do that! Cerberus sniffed Thalia first and let her pass through. It started to sniff me, but then it remembered who I was. All three of it's heads started licking my face and it started wagging it's tail. A red little ball appeared in my hands and i let him sniff it. The red ball was a gift from Hephaestus, it only appeared when Cerberus wanted it to, and it was indestructible. I had to stand on my tiptoes to scratch his ears, her started banging it's foot on the ground, crushing some ghosts.

"Sorry," I apologized.

I threw the red ball and Cerberus didn't even have to move to catch it. I threw it a couple more times before Thalia grabbed my wrist and told us we had to get going. I waved goodbye to Cerberus and for a second it started whimpering, but then it went back to it's normal guard dog stance and went back to it's job.

"I didn't know you liked dogs." Thalia said.

"Well, there are a lot of things you don't know about me." I smiled.

I led us to a hidden shortcut that led straight to my dad's castle. A few skeleton guards greeted me at the door.

"Hey Bob, John." I acknowledged them. They sort of smiled and tipped there hats, but they crossed there spears when Thalia tried to get through. She kind of looked a me desperately when Bob said,

"No ghosts beyond this point, unless you want to become part of Lord Hades' cape." I cringed. Once, my dad told me carry it for him while some guests were coming in. I swear the lost souls in bedded into the cloth were speaking to me, telling me about how they couldn't remember who these people were that mysteriously kept popping up in their heads. After a while, the cape started melting into my skin and my dad had to pry the thing off me; I was kind of scarred for life, sort of...

"No! Bob, John, she's with me. We're trying to convince my dad to let her live..." I said quietly.

"Didja hear that Bob?" John's an a-hole! "They're just like Eurydice and Orpheus! Kid, it won't work." Again, John is an a-hole!

"Just let her pass!" I demanded.

"OK but you know it'll never work right?" Bob was a little more subtle that that John.

"Yeah yeah yeah... Whatever gets you to sleep at night." Thalia and I were walking down a brightly lit corridor.

"Dad?" I wonder if he was even here.

"Dad?!" I try again, louder this time. Same result.

"Maybe he's with Persephone?" Thalia suggested. She may have a point. It was autumn after all...

We took a left then a right and and ended at the same place we started. Luckily, one of the servants were walking by.

"Hey you!" I shouted. Probably not the nicest way to get her attention, but I was in a hurry.

"What?!" She hissed. i think I messed with the wrong maid. This one had TWO heads, and the one I yelled at was probably not the nicer one.

"Be nice to the boy. He needs our help." The other head spoke. I like this head a lot better.

"Oh um.. thank you? Well, um.. do you know where Lord Hades' chambers are?" I kept stuttering because I couldn't help but stare at them.

"Down the hall. The big black door with the name 'Hades' at the top." The meaner head sneered at us as if it was the easiest question in the world. Maybe she and John should get together...

The other head used her arm to hit herself on the shoulder. "Ow," they both said. They started fighting and ma and Thalia slipped past them down the hall.

"Were you staring at them?" Thalia asked. Was she jealous? Ha!

"Maybe.." I say jogging passed her. I heard her huff a little bit then jogged after me. She wants me.

We finally reached the big black doors and I was about to barge in when Thalia stopped my hand and told me to listen. We pressed our ears to the door and heard a man screaming coming from the other side. Another scream erupted from the room and a woman cackling followed afterwards. Was that my dad? Was he being tortured? In his own home?!

I pulled out my sword and aimed it at the door. Thalia was still listening to whatever was there. She gave me a signal and I barged in the door with Thalia following right behind me. What I saw you could only describe as 'scarring'.

Thalia POV

Nico opened the door and he let out a girly scream. It must have been truly horrifying because before I could see what happened, he dragged me out of the room. He looked paler than usual, like he's seen a ghost. [A/N total coincidence!] He closed the black door behind him and blocked it with his body.

"What happened?" I asked him. He was starting to hyperventilate and was shaking really bad. I was answered with a shake of a head. His hair was tossed in his face and he looked like some emo mess. [A/N is that a thing?]

"Nico, it can't be that bad." Giggles erupted from the room another scream. Nico cringed and muttered something under his breath,

"Oh my gods. They're still at it?!" What in the name of Zeus was that supposed to mean?!

"Nico! Answer me!" I demanded. I obviously got that from my dad. I shook his shoulders and her finally replied.

"I think you should see for yourself... DAD! WE'RE COMING IN!" He shouted. The giggling and screaming stopped. I heard people shuffling and whispering inside the room. Oh so now they heard us.

Nico circled around me and grabbed my hands. He put them on my eyes. Is it wrong to feel kind of happy at this? Probably. I didn't care though. I wonder what else he could do with his hands...

Nico kicked open the door and his hand grew stiff. His temperature dropped and he started sweating. Nico, I love you and all, but that is just gross! His hands dropped and I was faced with a tied up Hades. The only thing covering Lord Hades was a ripped up black toga around his waist. His hands and feet were tied up on a bed and a little black ball was stuck in his mouth. A lady was towering over him dressed in black leather lingerie and had handcuffed her ankle to Hades. She had long black hair that covered her face and she held a black leather whip. OH SNAP!

"Wait 'till Persephone hears 'bout this!" I say without thinking. At least they can't kill me... again. The black haired lady looked up and smiled. Nico gasped. He looked even more scarred! Who was this lady?!

"Are you cheating on Persephone again, Lord Hades?" I questioned him disapprovingly. That was probably not the best thing I could have said but we needed something. And we had leverage.

"Blackmail." I whispered to Nico. He only shook his head and his eyes began to glaze over. Poor guy, he must be mortified.

"He is not cheating on Persephone," said the black haired lady. "Because, I'm Persephone!" And there goes our leverage.

"Now what do you kids want?" She asked us irritably. Well, someones got an attitude. No wonder Hades cheated on her.

"We have a request." Nico said. Finally! He has a voice!

"Mmmm Hmmm Mm Mhmhmmhm?" Lord Hades was trying to speak. That little black ball was still in his mouth.

"Oh Honey! i'm sorry!" Persephone shrieked. She skipped over to her husband and removed the black ball. While they were having some intese eye sex i leaned over to a wide eyed Nico and told him,

"They are into some really kinky stuff." He fake gagged and turned a little green.

"So... Anyways. I'm here for a favor..." Nico said facing his dad. Hades couldn't really see him since he was still tied up, courtesy of Persephone.

"Ahh yes. That. What is this favor?" Hades asked. Persephone was ruffling Hades' black hair. He acted like he was annoyed, but anyone could tell he was loving it. I wonder how he got in that position. And was this the 'norm' in the Hades residence?

"Well. My friend kinda sorta died and-" Nico was cut off by Persephone screaming.

"No. No. No! Hades WILL NOT help you! Last time this happened Aphrodite saw and asked her stupid dad to punish us! US! When it was clearly THEIR fault!" Persephone fumed.

"My dad is NOT stupid." I say. OK so maybe he can be idiotic but... STILL!

"Yes he is," Persephone said flatly.

"And isn't it HADES" decision," Nico said interjecting. "Yeah!" I agreed.

"NO it is NOT Hades' decision because Hades' decisions keep us apart!" Persephone screamed. She looked like she was going to cry and ran to her husbands side.

"And I AM NOT letting that happen again!" she said shoving the black ball into Hades' mouth again. Weird relationship huh?

"Pwease?" Nico asked pouting. Gods he looked like some kind of baby.

"Mhwa" Hades said. OK again, how did he get into this position? "Daaaadyy" Nico pleaded. Persephone chuckled and took the black ball out of her husbands mouth once again.

"Nico, you must understand that you cannot have everyone you like to not die!" He said sternly. But it was a little hard to take him seriously when he's all tied up like that.

"But daaaaaaad!" I've necer seen Nico like this before! He kind of reminds me of a small ten year old Nico. I started giggling and Nico stiffened up and deepened his voice. I saw Hades and Persephone raise their eyebrows from the corner of my eyes. What are they thinking? We're just friends.

"Daaaaady!" He tried again, his voice went back to it's regular octave but I could tell he was faking it. Men and their pride. I giggled once again.

"Oh My Gods! FINE!" Persephone said while clampiing her ears shut.

"Really?! Thank you!" I squeaked. I ran to hug the Queen of the Underworld when I heard Nico snickering.

"I probably wouldn't hug her after she's done the things she done. Correction: done the people she's done." Nico smirked. I backed away and Nico and I laughed as the ruler of the Underworld started to blush. They looked as red as pomegranates. [A/N see what I did there :D]

Hades waved his shackled hand and my ghostly being felt all wobbly. There was a tingling feeling in my gut and Hades told Nico to look away.

"I'm not just going to let her live without testing you, I'm a god for gods sake!" Great! Nico and I grumble under our breathes. "You will be tested. Just like Eurydice and Orpheus." Oh that again.

"We totally gotz this Thals" Nico says still not facing me. "I thought my name was Sparky?" I say trying to hide my blushing face.

"Well, I changed it." He said flatly. This guy. "Just like Eurydice and Orpheus.." Hades whispered to Persephone. "Just like..." She answered back. I swore I saw a slight gleam in their eyes as Nico said goodbye. After we closed the door, the screams and giggles continued.

"Your dad though.." I say trying to lighten the mood. I couldn't see Nico's face, but I knew he was smiling. "So like, how does this work? You can't look back at me or something?"

"Not really. It says I can't look back. But it really means I can't see you. Otherwise, you'll get sucked back into the Underworld and I- we'll never get you back." We huh? Ok... [A/N ;D]

"Here, we'll take the short cut." I followed right behind him and started thinking of loop holes. "So doesn't it mean I can't look at you?"

"Nope, we can't see each other. Apparently, the myth was supposed to teach the mortals restraint and all that. But my dad told me that Orpheus made him cry with his 'amazing' song and you know my dad, prideful and all. And he knew these 'star-crossed' lovers could never make it out without being glued by the hip, so my dad my this whole 'you can't look back Orpheus' thing." He huffed.

"Oh" I said sounding kind of disappointed.

"You sad you can't see my bea-u-tiful face?" Oh gods!

"It's just you're the only person I can talk to," I say. "And I can't even look at you..." Nico suddenly stopped. He put his hand behind his back motioned for me to take it. What is he doing? Isn't this against the rules?!

I took it gingerly, he clasped on to my hand and he llightly squeezed it. A simple gesture. But one I appreciated. His hand was warm, not something you'd expect from a son of Hades. Whenever I hugged Nico or even kissed him, I felt electricity. But when he held my hand, I felt all fuzzy and girly, ick.

"So... about that kiss." He says trying to lighten the mood. He just read my mind.

"Yeah about that... Well we were swept up in the moment. You know, like a goodbye kiss. Didn't mean anything..." I sigh. I know Nico doesn't like me that way. He wouldn't feel anything for me. And i know he doesn't have any feelings for me because he didn't kiss me back. He didn't.

"Yeah, yeah. A goodbye kiss... Let's not talk about that anymore. It's making me sad..." Sad? About the kiss or about mentioning me dying? Probably the second one. I know I'm a Hunter and all, but you can't choose who you like- I mean have grown accustomed to, especially if that person is a boy.

"So, how are the Hunters treating you?" He asked me. I tensed up. I think he felt that. I started to open my mouth when Nico said,

"You don't have to talk about it... Stupid question." Nico de Angelo really gets me.

"No, I want to." After that I practically poured my heart out to him. Telling him about Phoebe and about how the other Hunters won't accept me for me. After my girly rant, Nico stopped again. He put both his behind his back and we awkwardly hugged. It felt really weird because his butt, a fine butt, was on the lower half of my stomach, really close to my no-no square. [A/N I just used that. Don't judge. Oh and let's just pretend that the way to and from are the same length even though it doesn't seem like it OK? OK. Good!]

The atmosphere seemed a lot lighter after he hugged me. We told stories and laughed at corny jokes, kind of like couple stuff. I wanted this to last forever, but as they say, all good- great things must come to an end. Nico's eyes were closed and we were playing some kind of game the nymphs taught me. Nico bumped his head on the rock walls and rubbed his forehead.

"OW!" he screamed. His voice rose 2 octaves. I started laughing like some hyena human animal mix.

"It's not funny!" He whines. I couldn't see his face, but I could tell he was pouting.

"Oh but it is, it i-" A loud barking echoed through the walls. Cerberus! Oh no Cerberus. We were close to the end.

Cerberus licked Nico's face and Nico started smelling like dog the whole way back. He took my hand, still not looking at me and I realized he had let go of it before. The thought saddened me. He took my hand and asked me,

"You ready, Sparky?" He used that name again. I chuckled a little in response and grabbed another seed from his pocket. Gods! Does he just keep random pieces of fruit in his pocket?! The seeds MUST be in some kind of container. A little packet? Maybe a plastic bag... ADHD strikes again!

Nico started levitating and Cerberus was now sniffing the bottom of his shoe.

"You coming?" He asked. "Or have you decided to change your mind?" He asked cautiously.

"I could if I could reach you!" I said jumping to grab his arm again; he let go [A/N :(] to get his pomegranate seeds.

Nico was starting to get farther and farther away into the dark crevice starting to form. He was trying his hardest to not look at me and reach for my hand when Cerberus wedged his nose between my legs and threw me into the air. I landed once again on his dark as night head. He started bobbing his head rapidly and I flew into the air. For a second I thought he was just playing. But then I realized I was high enough to grab onto Nico's legs. I grabbed at his black skinny jeans, jeans that would look a little weird on some other guy, but Nico made it work.

"Well look who decided to join me?" He teased. "Enjoying the view?" I tensed up. I hadn't realized how high we were until he said that. Dang it! I crawled up his legs until my head hit butt and wrapped my arms and legs around his left leg.

"Hey you OK?" he asked me. "Um... it's kind of high; the drop I mean..." I tried to sound chill, but a shriek erupting from my mouth gave it away as we ascended faster and faster.

"You scared of heights, Sparky?" He asked sincerely. "No! Well not really... Don't you tell anyone!" I glared at him. Of course, I keep forgetting, he can't see me. I'm getting really frustrated at these stupid rules.

"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle through my eye." He immitated a child. "I'm serious."

"I'm serious too." I relaxed a little. And then I realized I was speaking to Nico's butt. He better not fart!

"So... When can I actually see you?" I knew I should have worded it better once I said that.

"Oh, you missing my face?"

"No." Yes.

"Don't deny it Thals. Don't deny it. And to answer your question, once the living person hits daylight. Not sees daylight, but hits daylight. The last person misunderstood that part."

"Oh. Ok" I say. Well this was getting awkward...

"So.. you liking the view?"

"I already told you-"

"Not that view, Thals." For once, I'm actually happy he wasn't allowed to see my face, otherwise, he would have seen my tomato flushed cheeks.

"You are SUCH a perv" I throw at him. What is he doing to me?

"Don't hate the playa, hate the game." Don't try to act all weird like that. It doesn't fit him. I decided to ignore him and give him some of the silent treatment; something he probably didn't deserve given his life, but I didn't care at the moment. Sometimes Nico de Angelo just boils my half god-half mortal blood.

"You know I was only kidding right? I know your a Hunter still..." He apologized. The Hunters! I hadn't thought of them until that moment. I was having way too much fun with Nico that I totally forgot them, and my oath. I broke my oath! Crap!

I hadn't realized this, but I started silently crying. I only realized it when Nico patted me on the head like I was some kind of pet.

"Why are you crying? Stop crying." He sounded as if he was the one about to cry. I started feeling better, like I had something to prove to Nico, that I was stronger than other girls. I sniffled into his pant leg and grabbed some more of the denim and buried my face in the loose fabric. I felt safe in Nico's arms- legs. That electric buzzing started again and the air felt warmer, cozier in fact.

After a short while Nico started shaking his leg. I opened my eyes and found out I was in Camp Half-Blood. Infront of the campfire. With people staring at me; eating lunch. While I was clinging on to Nico de Angelo's foot.

A cold sweat swept over me and then I realized I was probably still a ghost. Nope. Nico looked down at me, at my face and said in a cold tone,

"Get off, Sparky!" Whoa, where did that suddenly come from. WHy was he acting like this? He never spoke to me like this before. He was always so sincere and light-hearted towards me.

I removed myself from his leg and he started to walk away. I heard the people eating were whispering and mumbling about me. Great!

"Why was 'Sparky' on Nico's leg?" I heard some guy say. "And why did Nico let her!" A daughter of Hecate hissed. "They're in love!" I wonder which cabin that camper was from? Oh gods, they've already started to gossip! In a matter of a few seconds, the whole camp already know of my arrival. I saw a blond girl head over to an almost empty table and had gotten a dark haired boy to follow her.

It took me a few seconds before realizing that they were my bast friends: Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase! They ran towards me and started drowning me with questions.

"As much as I'd love to hang out with you guys, i kind of need to deal with something..." I hated blowing them off like that, but I needed answers, so I went to the only place that could provide them: The Hades Cabin AKA Nico de Angelo's cabin.

Hey guys that was kind of longish. It took me a while to update so I decided to give you guys a longer chapter!
