"Hello Haley." Hades said. I sat where I was, not moving a centimeter. I still didn't say a word as he starred at me. For once, I looked like everyone else. Lucian grabbed my hand from under the table. I kicked off my shoes.

"You can have them now." I tossed them at Travis. "So, um. I heard gods usually don't come to see their kids. Especially when their claiming their kid."

"I could have just not claimed you, if it wasn't for my nephew of mine; Percy Jackson." Hades said. Lucian squeezed my hand. "I'm not here for you. I'm here to talk to Dionysus. It's about your twin siblings. Mr. D stood up.

"Apollo and Artemis?" Mr. D's voice faltered. "What about them?"

"Well. It's all of Olympus actually. I don't live there of course because of Zeus an Poseidon, but all of you know that story. Olympus is freaking out because both Apollo and Artemis is missing. Not even the hunters can find her. Then no one knows where Apollo is, so Zeus, not wanting to get off his throne at all, they sent me. Basically they want one of Apollo's son and one of his daughters to chose one other person to come with them to help find their father. I'm only the massager here though, Hermes wouldn't come. Good-bye." He walked off into the dark and disappeared.

"That was my father," I said. My whole life I had wondered who he was. Now, of course my dad is the lord of the Underworld. "I should move my stuff to my cabin now." I knew whole forbidden to have kids thing with the Big Three, so I was a mistake. I got my stuff and started walking to the cabin. Lucian followed me in silence. I got my bag and began walking to cabin 13; Hades cabin.

"Nico designed it." Lucian finally said something. I looked at it; made up of black brick, with Greek fire, green burning on torches on all four corners. "Modeled after his father's palace. He hasn't been here for a long time. Go on inside." With that I went in; there was black floor, black walls. A bunk on either side of the room. It was so plain, so simple. No wonder he didn't come a lot. I put my stuff on the empty bunk, it felt lonely, and cold. I couldn't stand it, I ran out, strait to Lucian arms.

"I don't want to be here. I want to be in there. I want to be in the Hermes cabin with you." My voice muffled from being in his chest. His hand ran up my back, to my head, letting my tears stain his shirt.

"I don't want to leave you," Lucian said, "But I have too. Be strong… and get some shoes on, please. I don't want you to catch a cold. Try to sleep." He kissed my cheek, and left. I went back on my cabin and sat down on my bunk, still crying. After a long while, I finally laid down. But, I couldn't fall asleep, my mattress felt really bumpy.

"What the Hades?" Oh, sorry dad." I got off my bunk and lifted the mattress up. Then pulled out a handful of small metal action figures and a journal. I sat on the floor and laid out each one; Greek gods and goddesses. "Zeus, Apollo, Hermes, Athena, Poseidon, Hades." I said them out loud as I set them down. Then I climbed back on my bunk and turned to the first page. Nico di Agelo was written in a young boys hand writing.

Bianca wants me to keep a journal, I think it's silly. I want to play my games or watch Percy do things. Percy's nice, and cool. I hope he thinks I'm as strong as he is. He and my sister are going on a quest tomorrow. I don't want them to go, I'll be alone, all alone.

With that I closed it, scared to read more. Reading about being alone is really depressing in this cabin. I slipped it under the bunk, then stayed up the rest of the night, not able to go to sleep. At breakfast I had to sit with my cabin, alone. Even more depressing.

"Hey," Lucian said, sitting across from me at my table. "I don't care about getting in trouble." I finally looked up, skipping over Lucian, there was everyone starring at me, whispering to each other. "How'd you sleep?"

"I didn't sleep," I picked at my toast. I don't want to be here, at this table, in this table." My eyes came up again, to see not just stares, but glares as well.

"The Apollo kids left today. Flynn took Constance, of course. And The girl, Samantha, took a Athena girl as well." Lucian tried to make a conversation. "Eat at least. Please?" I took at bite of my toast, chewed it up a little bit and opened my mouth to him. "Yeah, that's hot." I swallowed than laughed, nearly choking.

"Here's your schedule." Travis said, walking up to my table. I looked down at his feet, my shoes of course. I reached for the folded up piece of paper. "Nope." He set it down on the table, and hurried away.

"I would have brought it, but they wouldn't let me, he's been here longer than me. I'm fifteen, been here since I was almost twelve." He said. "Can I see the schedule?" I handed him the paper, he unfolded it. "Well, we have Pegasus riding together."

"Yeah, I guess," I said, "I should go get changed." I was wearing what I went to bed in, and what I had worn the day before. I walked alone, back to my cabin, and opened the door. Something glittered on the floor. My little metal action figures were laying on the floor, as if they had been played with. I ignored it and changed into my short shorts and CHB T-shirt. "Let's see, what was little Nico up to." I smiled and opened the book.

I'm all alone now that they left. Everyone's been mean to me. It's not fair. My only friends are my mythomagic cards and action figers? Figres? Figurs? I can't spell it. Travis stole my Hades action figure, thank you girl who helped me spell. So, I told Mr.D that he took it and now everyone's calling me tattle tale boy. I want Bianca home.

"I know how you feel Nico," I said as if he were there.

"I'm sure you do." A sarcastic voice came from the end of my bed. "Trapdoor to the Underworld. Hades doesn't know about it." He gave a sly smile, on a devilishly handsome face. Dark brown eyes like his fathers, but kinder, and knew how to show mercy when looking at you. He had dark blackish brown hair, was greasy an clearly hasn't been combed in a long time.

"Um, hi." I said, "I'm Haley. You're younger sister. Where's Bianca?" I was excited to learn I had siblings. He just said next to me, took the journal out of my hands and turned the pages. It was weird, seeing what looked like a fourteen or fifteen year old boy reading his old journal, finally he stopped on a page, and held it open to me.

Percy killed Bianca! Percy killed my sister!

"He killed her?" I asked astonished. Everything I heard about this great hero erased from my mind.

"Well, he let her die. Now, we have sword fighting class now don't we? I'm still a camper here you know." He winked at me, and unsheathed his black iron blade. "You should get one of your own." We began walking to the arena, getting pointed and stared at by whoever past by. "I haven't been here in a long time."

"I haven't been known as a Hades kid for a long time." I said. "Just last night Hades came. Not for me though, to tell people to go on a quest."

"Well, I have a quest for you." Nico said.
