Three days past since I learned that I was a daughter of Nyx. I have two siblings. One brother named Cole and one sister named Aly. Our cabin is black, purple, and blue. It was midnight and I couldn't sleep. They told me the lake was a good place to think espesically at night. Go figure. Every thing is better at night she says. Even sitting on a tree he says. Tell that to me after I got a huge cut on my arm. Anyways, they always incourage me to do something that could get me in trouble but I learn to love them. As I was passing a tree to go to the lake I saw Nico sit on the pier. Hugging his legs and resting his chin on his knees. He looked up at the sky. I walked quietly and sat down next to him, letting my legs dangle a feet above the lake. One thing I love about the nights in summer is that it's never too cold or too hot so you could wear what ever.
"what are you doing here so late at night" I asked while I looked at him.
"Probably the same reason your here" He spoke softly but still held his gaze at the sky.
"Nico, why don't you ever look at me when you talk" I said in the same tone as him.
"It's because you remind me of Bianca. You always cheer me up when I'm down" just like her he whispered
"Is that bad? That I remind you of her. Speaking of her how come she's not here. How selfish I didn't even realize"
"She's gone...dead..." He said. When he said that he looked right into my eyes. Which sent chills down my spine. His feelings writen all over his face. It was hurt.
"how?" I said while I looked down at the lake to see the reflection of the night sky.
"Look I don't want to talk about it"
"Nico,She's my friend..." He sighed
"Well she became a hunter. A short while after that Artemis has gone missing so she went on a quest. She went with a bunch of other hunters and Percy,Annabeth, Thalia,and Grover. She sacrficed herself when they were fighting..."
"oh my gods" He looked down at the lake. I wonder what he was thinking about when he got here.
"You know Nico... You can't change the pass. No matter how much you weep,cry or sulk, it'll never change" I said in a harsh tone
"As cheesy as this sounds, you could make her happy by living your life. You can't waste your whole life hating it. Plus your the Ghost King you could talk to her unlike mortals and other half-bloods"
He smirked. Just like her he muttered again.
"so how's being a daughter of Nyx so far?" I smiled. But I can't believe Bianca's gone. I have to follow my own advice.
"It's good. Cole and Aly are teaching me how to hide and walk in the shadows. It's not like your shadow traveling though. I could only go walking distance and sneak. You could do that day and night. But I do perfer night"
He smirked and I just nudged him. He stared at me for 5 seconds and looked back down. I just sighed.
I leaned over and hugged him. He just stiffened and hugged me back. I got up.
"Night Nico"
"Night"
Next morning....
I woke up to our alarm. I got up and turned it off. Aly was in the shower while Cole was still sleeping.
"Hey Cole wake up!" I said while I took my clothes out of the drawer.
"fiver more minutes"
"oh ok then in that case..." I said and walked over to him. Bent down so my mouth was about an inch away from his ear.
"WAKE UP DAMNIT!!"
"I'm up. I'm up!" he said as he rolled over and fell off his bed.
"you know your fourteen which is a year older than me, right?" I asked. So immature...
"yea so"
"ugh never mind just get ready"
I went to the bathroom and slipped a pair of black jean shorts and a checkered black &white t-shirt. After we were done getting ready we just laid on our beds for 5 minutes to wait for the horn to blow.
"so... Where did you go to last night"Aly asked me and sat down next to me
"to the lake.. why?"
"oh you know just because we wanted to know" Cole and Aly both looked at each other and grinned . Then the horn blew. That was weird.
After breakfast I met up with Kathy and Nico at the lake. Kathy brought her sister, Annabeth, who brought Percy. We went to the pier at the lake. We just dangled our legs in to the lake.
"And... That's how summer ended last year" Annabeth said
"oh that's cool"
"mhmm hey, where's Percy?" As she said that she was pulled into the lake. As the love birds reached the surface Annabeth splashed water at Percy's face and they both laughed. They swam around. That's when I decided to push Kathy in. Who screamed like a banshee and laughed. Nico who sat next to me and just smirked. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt with black swim trunks.
"why are you wearing swim trunks Nico"
"oh uhh"
"wierdo" I mutterd and turned to look at them swim in the lake. I felt someone grab my arm.
"hey what are you-AHH!" I screamed as Nico jumped in the lake with his hand around my arm. Which caused me to fall in with him. I rose to the surface.
"Where'd Nico go?" Every one shrugged and came back to swimmming. I get paranoid really easy espasically if you make it seem like there's a monster in the lake. A hand wrapped around my ankle and pulled me down as I screamed. When I was under water the hand letted go and I saw Nico swimming up. I scowled. And swam up. For the first time ever since I've been in camp I saw him laugh. Every one laughed afterwards.
so wat'd ya think? R&R please and thank you
