Thanks to: jessjess98, SilverNight ShadowLight, ladymoonsoar, and ringgold913, I love it that all you guys have stuck by me, even with my crappy updating.

Especially I like to thank God 1801, without your idea I'd have no clue where to go in this story. You managed to get me off my butt and actually start writing XD

And before anyone says anything, yes, I know there aren't that many dorms, but if you can guess why I used those numbers (without checking the PJO books!) I'll give you a virtual cookie XD

I know this chapter's really short, but I believe the vamps will discover about the demigods next chapter. And the 'Mystery Person' will be revealed...

Home Sweet Home

Nico

It's official. Perseus Jackson is an idiot.

First, he doesn't realize that we're in a school for vampires. Then, he starts shouting about empousae, and finally he nearly introduces himself as the son of Poseidon.

I found it pretty freaky how we'd been paired up with the students, though. It couldn't be a coincidence that they each had 'affinities' to match our demigod powers.

"We should probably be going to bed," said the girl with black hair – Zoey Redbird. "It's already gone sunrise."

I didn't really find it weird sleeping in the day – after all, I'm nearly always asleep anyway. I train at night – Percy doesn't seem to mind being woken up at midnight to sword fight.

I glanced at him and he didn't seem to phased about going to bed now either. I guess that's what Achilles does to you.

The others were a different story. Leo especially looked horrified. That kid is so hyped up all the time I'm surprised he ever makes it to bed.

"Where will we be sleeping?" I asked my 'guide', Stevie Rae.

"If you follow Damien to the boys' dorm, he'll show you. I believe there's two double-rooms reserved for you."

Zoey turned to Annabeth and Piper. "We've got one room for you two to share."

Leo looked at Annabeth. I could see a glint in his eye, which meant he was about to say something that would get him hurt.

"Oh, Annabeth! How will you cope! You can't sleep with Per – Ow!"

As predicted, both Annabeth and Percy had whacked him upside the head.

Annabeth then turned to Zoey as if nothing had happened. "Thank-you."

A few minutes later (and a lot of making-out from Annabeth and Percy – jeez, you'd think they were never going to see each other again), Damien led us across the corridor and into the boys' dorm. We followed him up a set of stairs to a hallway with a lot of doors.

"Here's one of the rooms," he announced, stopping in front of a door labelled '3031'.

Leo and Jason decided to dorm in that one, whilst Percy and I followed Damien to our dorm.

"You guys are right opposite me, so if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thanks Damien," said Percy, giving one of his cheesy smiles. I always let Percy deal with the social side of things. For some reason, children of Hades just aren't good at that stuff – can't imagine why.

We went inside room 7512 and dumped our suitcases. It was quite a big room, with two beds on either side.

"So this is home for the next two months," I said.

"But… there's no sea near here!"

"Shut up, Percy."

Mystery POV

Everything was set. I had the boy's body. I had a faithful servant. And, most importantly, I had Perseus Jackson at my mercy.

"My lord, they have arrived," she said.

"Excellent. I plan to make myself known soon. And what of Jackson?"

"Unsuspecting and oblivious."

"Perfect."

"Do you recall our deal?"

I fought the urge to kill her.

"Of course. I will destroy the girl… Just as soon as Jackson is taken care of."

"I shall kill him now, my lord-"

"No! It is possible I will be able to utilise his body. With the Curse of Achilles and his physique, I will be unstoppable!"

I started laughing manically.

There was only one problem: how could I torture Perseus Jackson to death when I needed his body? Unless…
