Chapter 4

Adara's P.O.V

Wow, Nico was amazing in there.

" Guys, I'm gonna wait here for Miss Lee."

" Are you sure you're not waiting for Nico?"

" Obviously not!" May giggled before leaving with the others.

" You did good just now." A voice said and I turned around. I nearly jumped in joy. It's Kenneth Maxwell.

" Oh. H-hi. Thanks."

" See you around, Adara."

" Y-yeah! See ya!"

" That boy is nothing but trouble." I jumped in surprise.

" Oh, Miss Lee! I didn't see you there."

" Yes, well. It seems like magic! Dara, I'm here to tell you not to trust that boy. Oh, and there's more to life than what you think. You'll see… One more thing, be careful. You're now a part of something… different. Good bye, Miss Mist." Then she walked away.

I wonder what's up with her. Don't trust Kenneth? Why? More to life? Hmm… I wonder…

" Hey." I jumped again. I turned around to see Nico trying hard not to chuckle. I sigh.

" Let it out. It might do you good." He chuckled. He looks cute.

" Ok, serious business. I believe I said I will tell you about my secret. Today, you prove to me something and someone convinced me into telling you. So, meet me tomorrow. For lunch at my house." He said before leaving.

" Hey, I never said yes!!" I smiled. It's good to have Nico back. Wait a minute, I haven't forgiven him!

The next day, I went over to his house. Strangely enough, I felt conscious about how I look. I called May to ask some advice. I ended up wearing jeans and a simple shirt.

" Hey." A voice said. Again, I jumped.

" Can you please stop that, Nico?"

" Maybe. Come on, let's go. I know the perfect place to discuss."

" Alright." We both walked to a restaurant. But not just any restaurant it's THE most romantic restaurant and most expensive. I stared at him, shocked.

" Table for two, please."

" Alright, this way sir."

" Come on, Mist. Let's go." We both went in. I'm still shock. I opened the menu and found the cheapest thing. Spaghetti Bolognese and ordered it. Nico ordered a grilled chicken or something like that.

" Alright, first let me tell you, you're right. I do have a secret." He moved in closer. " The Greek Gods and Goddesses exist." He looked like he waited for me to freak out. I look into his eye and found sincerity. He's truthful…

" I believe you."

" I know I might not have- wait what? You believe me?"

" Yes. I told you from before that I'll believe you. Besides, I found the dagger, didn't I? Everything happens for a reason. Oh and Nico, could you back away… With you so close to me makes me feel weird." He immediately backed away and blushed.

" Sorry." He mumbled.

The whole meal was quiet. After the meal, we left. Oh, he paid, by the way. Rich dude!

We went to the park. I couldn't take it anymore. I need more explanation.

" So… how come you know they're real."

" Well, there's this camp for Half-Bloods. Half god, half human."

" I see. Who's your parent?"

" W-what?" He asked.

" Who's your parent?" He seemed reluctant to say.

" Hades, God of the Underworld."

"I see. So, does that mean you can summon the dead to fight for you?" He nodded. " That's so cool, Nico!! You have got to be the coolest person I've ever met!" I hugged him.

He seemed shock. Then he looked fearful.

" What is it, Nico?" I turned around to see a hellhound. I've read about them. Wait, a hellhound?! I got up and looked at Nico.

" Get behind me!" I looked at him, concerned but followed his orders nonetheless. He summoned the dead. " Rise. Fight that hellhound." Three zombies or whatever they're called got up from the ground and attacked the hellhound.

Another hellhound appeared from Nico's right.

" Nico!! Your right! The pen, take it out!" He quickly took out the pen and it changed into a dagger. He stabbed the hellhound. He turned around to me.

" Thanks. Hey behind you!" He did a spin and stabbed the hellhound behind me. I grimaced. I nearly got chop into hellhound chow.

" Nico! Watch out!" I said a second too late. The hellhound pushed Nico on the floor, pinning him to the ground. Then, another hellhound appeared in front of me. Going nearer and nearer to me. I froze. What should I do?! I should move, right? Why can't I move?!

Come on, move!! Body, move! Nico stabbed the hellhound and got up. He tossed the dagger to me. I don't know how but I caught it. But my other body parts still doesn't want to move.

I took the dagger and stab my leg. The pain overwhelmed me. I winced. Now, I can move. The hellhound pounced onto me. I held out my hand and hoped for the best.

I stabbed the hellhound. Nico moved the hellhound and all of the hellhounds disappeared.

Without hesitation, I wrapped my arms around him and cried.

Nico's P.O.V

I had felt frightened to tell her about the life I have. About Hades being my father. Now, I knew I shouldn't have. I stared at the frightened girl, still cowering in fear and hugging me. Her tears still flowing down.

Who could control them? Wait….. I know who! Kronos!! That scum! I shouldn't be angry now. I told myself as I look down at the girl. Adara. Bianca told me that if a girl is crying, I should be gentle. I did carry her all the way from the park to my house. I remember the fear when I thought she nearly died. I shouldn't have told her.

" I'm sorry." A ghost of a voice said.

" What? Why are you sorry, Adara?"

" I'm sorry. It was my fault. I was weak. I couldn't even move. I think my leg might be infected." I would have hit my forehead if I could. I forgot about her stab wound.

I was about to move away when the arms around me tightened.

" I need to treat your wound, Adara."

" I'm such a burden… so useless…" She mumbled to herself. That's it!

" Look! Adara, you're not useless! You've never faced this situation before. What you did was better than what I would have done! Stop it! It is my fault! I shouldn't have told you!"

" No! It's my fault! I made you open your mouth! I thought I could take it!"

" Yeah, well! I could have fought better! Then you wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

" No! If I were strong enough to protect myself, I wouldn't get hurt!" Then she started laughing. Her laughter is contagious and I laughed as well. After a good 3 minutes, we stopped.

"Why were we laughing?" I asked.

" I don't know. Well, we better fix this wound. " After 25 minutes spent on the wound, we both sat down and stare at each other.

" So… what now?" I asked.

" Nico! I want you to teach me how to fight!"

" Wait, what?"

" Teach me how to fight. We've both brought it upon ourselves. So, by learning how to fight, I can defend myself."

" Alright. I agree on one condition. You cannot work yourself too hard."

" I agree on that one completely. Hey, what happened to those hellhounds? And I thought only Gods could control them."

" Monster do not die entirely. They will be reincarnated again and again. They did not do this. Another God with powers did."

" Another god!! A Titan! Am I right?"

" Hey, you're good. How did you know all this?"

" For some reason, I'm good in Greek Mythology. Well, anyway, tell me about your family." I hesitated.

" I don't know about my mother. All I know is I was stuck in this place that didn't make me age for a long time."

" Oh, that's sad. You really want to find out about her. I'll help you. If you need my help, just call me." I blushed. " What? What is it?"

" I don't have a phone."

" Oh… I see."

" Hey, you want to see something?"

" Err, sure?" I went in and took out the Stygian iron sword. I brought it to her.

" Wow…. It's really pretty. What's it made of?"

"It's made of iron from the River Styx. It's called the Stygian iron sword. I think it's only useable by a child of Hades."

" That's original. The name, I mean. So… do you really think you can teach me?"

" It depends on you, really."

" Well, I'll be leaving now. See you." She left and I sat down to think about today. It is rather eventful…. Too eventful… I told someone about the Gods, then, we got attacked, soon after, she cried. This is too weird.

I wonder what other adventures awaits us…
