Nico

Thalia and I ended up on the beach, close by one of our favorite spots. We hadn't been alone like this in a while, on the beach, so I decided to take us there. "I told you about the big three thing, didn't I?" I asked. "Yeah, you did." She smiled up at me. For those of whom who don't know, I actually grew taller than Thalia really fast. "It's so calming here," she said to me. "Yeah, it makes you forget your troubles..." I said. "Can we take it slow?" Thalia asked me. I stiffened a little under her. She probably thought I was disgusted with her or something, but of course I wasn't. She pulled back."Thals! I didn't mean it that way"she looked back at me, "I don't want to take it slow. I've wanted you for so long, you don't even know. I mean-" I stuttered. And she frowned down at me. "Nico," she got clone to me again. I says sitting with my legs sprawled out in front of me, and she, and she was on top of me now. "You know...I've never had a boyfriend so..." She looked at me embarrassment on her face. "Thalia, you don't need to be embarrassed. You're my first, and probably only, girlfriend I'll ever have." And she chuckled at me. I smiled.

Annabeth

There's a news big three child, a new big three child. I wonder which one it is, a child of hades. Maybe a child of Zeus? Least likely, a child of Poseidon...is it going to be a him or a her? While these questions swam through my mind, and many more, Malcolm was trying to reach my thoughts. "Hey! Annie." I frowned at him escaping from my thoughts. "Don't call me Annie." I said with a grimace. "Geez, Annabeth. What's got you spun so tightly? Nico Di' Angelo speaking about the new child of big three?" I was starting to get very annoyed with him, and he could see it plainly on my face. "Gods Annabeth. I just wanted to talk to you. Lately, you've been secretive and secluded. I'm just wondering why." He said with as much caring as he could muster. "I'm sorry Malcolm, I've got too much on my mind right now." I sighed. "Everyone does, Annabeth. But you need to learn how to cope. I'll be there when you need to talk." He left the table and I glanced at my watch.

Recently, I've been keeping track of time, counting down the minutes to meals, and accurately counting the time since I've seen Percy. No matter what anyone tells me, I cannot give up hope. Maybe his fatal flaw rubbed off on me, or maybe it's my stubbornness in thinking that he's not dead, like Nico agreed to earlier. I don't know. I just know I can't give up hope. I cannot give up hope to see my Percy again, my Percy. I got from my table and left the pavilion. Looking towards the borders,I thought I caught a silhouette standing there. I second later it was gone, I shrugged it off. I was walking towards my cabin thinking I might blue print some Greek monuments or something, but then I heard the bleeting.

"Grover?" I asked out loud. "Hey Annabeth, long time no see." He said. He was out of breath from running from who-knows-where. "Why don't we sit by the beach? It's the good place to talk." Grover said and I nodded while following him. I had free periods until the campfire, I was free. We reached the beach and sat down close by the surf. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked Grover. He rarely visits camp anymore, he typically is out looking for new demigods and doing godly things he doesn't have time to come back to camp that often. When he does, he always has so,etching important to tell someone. "Well, it's about the new big three demigod." He stated nervously. I nodded him on to continue. "Here's the thing..." He paused, "well, uh, um..." He was stuttering now. I couldn't under stand him with his choppy sentences but I picked up the squeeze of "more than one." And I gaped at that. "More than one?" I asked him. "Yeah, more than one." He stated with relief at having me comprehend the situation. "Wait, then who's the dad..?" I questioned. "I don't know, gotta wait until they're claimed." He stated. "Wait. Why are you telling me this?" I was curious of why he was not telling Thalia or Nico who could both be having another sibling coming to camp. "Well, I'll need your help with these demigods, maybe Nico's and Thalia's help too. And also, they're both around your age." I think he was trying to convince me to be the new demigods' first friends here at camp halfblood. "Yeah sure, I'll be their friends." He smiled and thanked me. We both got up and chatted about our life. Grover walked me to the cabin and smiled gently at me. "Don't be sad over Percy." He left without even saying goodbye. I knew he was going to come back and tell me more soon, about what he knew about that last day, and about what he knows about the new demigods.
