I hope you like this chapter, again it wasn't as great as I thought it would turn out but still I think its pretty good. Review :)


Okay, so fighting is just not my thing; much less with a sword.

I 'm only thirteen years old and the biggest fight I have ever been in was yelling at my brother for the TV control. So it was no fair that an eighteen year old boy was fighting me.

It took me a long time but I was finally getting the hang of it. Of course though that's when Nico came up in my line of sign.

I freeze, shocked. His black hair was unruly and messy, the sun made it look almost dark purple. His hard brown eyes were clouded over, his long lashes putting a shadow there but I could see he was looking straight into my eyes, causing my heart to skip a beat.

In that second Percy pounds me to the ground.

I yelp. "Aw."

"You lose…again." He said getting off of me.

"Geez Percy!" I sigh and looked at where I saw Nico but he was gone.

I shake my head trying to shake off that weird feeling. I mean I just barely met him. And when I say barley met him I met I barley talked to him. He said only about three words to me.

"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Percy asked.

As soon as he said it my head started it hurt. "Yeah, I'm going to go drink some water."

"Okay."

I went to a stream in the woods and just sat on the edge. I cupped my hands together and drank some water. I liked this water, it was completely natural. My head ach faded but I still stayed there, lying next to the stream gently touching the cool water. A warm breeze went by making me feel calm. I closed my eyes smiling.

Yesterday after the flag thing Chance said bye to me and Percy congratulated me for my part on us winning. Then we had dinner. I got know Percy and Link more. Link was one forth Native American, which I thought was pretty darn cool. Percy just told me general things. He was born here, in New York, found out he was a demi-god when he was eleven. He told me about his mom and his step dad. And they told me about our father, Poseidon.

It was so strange knowing…everything. But I was happy I felt like a weight had been lifted.

I breathed in the fresh air.

"Yeah, it is strange, huh?"

I looked up to see Chance standing there. He gave me a little half smile.

"You can read minds?" I asked.

He gave out a little laugh. "No but I know how it feels."

I smiled. "So…why are you here?"

"Can't I just want to be surrounded by nature?"

I shrugged.

"Well, I'm not. All the children of the Big Three are to report to the Big House."

"Oh…for what?" I asked getting up, brushing myself off.

"I don't know, but Nico, the son of Hades, is here."

"Oh." I said.

So, he is here.

Chance's electric blue eyes were examining me. "I heard he was the one who found you."

"Yeah, kind of, a monster attacked me and he…saved me." walking out of the woods.

"Oh, that's…cool." He said for, what I like to think of, as a lack of a better word.

"Yeah, I guess. The whole getting attacked by monsters was out of my adrenaline rush category but I guess I can fit it in there."

He laughed. "That creative."

"No, you see your suppose to say something creative back." I said smiling, keeping my laughter inside.

"Oh well, I can't come up with anything so…purple monkeys."

I giggled. "What? Were did you get that from?"

"I was thinking about monkeys and that girl was wearing purple." He said pointing to some random girl wearing purple.

"That's amazing." I said laughing.

He just gave me a deep smile as we got to the Big House. He opened the door for me.

"Thanks." I said.

"No prob."

I walk right into Nico and fell back. "Ow." I groaned.

Chance and Nico helped me up.

"Are you okay?" they asked in unison.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." But I felt another head ach coming on.

"You sure?" they asked together.

I looked at each of them. "Yes, I'm sure."

"Ocean." Nico started but he looked behind him. "You guys? This concerns all of you."

Chiron, Dionysus, my two brothers; Chance and a little girl, all looked at Nico.

"What's wrong?" asked the little girl. Her hair was dark brown; her skin was olive tone, Chance's blue eyes, she was Chance's little sister, Krista.

"Well, the monsters have been attacking our family and" he looked at me. "our friends."

"What happened?" asked Percy.

"All of you know about a year ago they attacked Chance's mom." Nico was staring at his feet. Chance was staring out the window; I could see a tear in his eyes. "She didn't make it. Link your sister was attacked a couple months ago. She turned out fine…But" He paused and sighed. "This morning…Silverbell was attacked."

I gasped.

Silver? Oh my gosh! Silver? Why? How? How could I forget her? I hadn't thought of her once since I got her. Is she? Dead? Why would they attack her? She was so small and fun and oh my gosh why?

"Is she?" I asked, feeling like I was about to explode.

"She's… fine, just a couple hits but other then that…nothing but still. A vampire attacked her but couldn't be just a coincidence. Something's wrong and we have to find a way to fix it before it becomes unfixable.

"Nico, you know no one leaves here on a quest until Oracle of Delphi tells us a prophecy." said Chiron.

"But the more we wait the worst things are going to get. Their loved ones will die if we don't do anything, Chiron. We should ask the Oracle."

Chiron nodded. "She's upstairs. But you have to go alone."

Nico looked at Percy whom was looking down at his feet. "Okay." And he left upstairs.

I didn't know what was going on and no one told me. Link sat on a couch, his hands on each side of his face. Chance was still staring out the window. Krista was next to him whispering. And Percy was looking at where Nico left.

A few minuets passed and Nico came back.

"What is it?" asked Chiron.

Nico sighed and resided. "Lost daughter of the sea,

the living son of the dead

and one son of lightning

"All hold the key

on defeating Dread

before her rising

"Three plus one is war

Three less one is no hope children of The Big Three would be no more."

"Crap." said Percy.

"That's an understatement." said Link.

"Yeah it is, Percy." said Krista.

"Well, I could have said a worst word but you're here."

"I think it's obvious who has to go." said Nico.

"Yeah, it is." I said, looking between him and Chance.

"She just came." said Percy. "She can't fight, at all. She can't go."

"I think it was obvious that if anyone else goes it's sure death." said Nico.

"No, it said if four go then its war." said Percy.

"Agents what?" I asked.

"Monsters?" said Chance. "And Percy it said 'all three hold the key'. You're not the 'lost daughter of the sea', you don't hold the key."

"No, I'm not the lost daughter of the sea but I'm the found son of the sea." said "She's not going. She can't, she'll die out there."

"Nico and Chance are our most talented fighters, Percy. You have to trust them and even though Ocean's one of the worst fighters I've ever seen, in my life the Oracle said she partly holds the key to defeating before Dread destroys all of you."

"Dread?" asked Link. "Who is that anyways?"

"It's an Evil." said Dionysus, I almost forgot he was here he was so silent. We looked at him confused. "Pandora's box? Hello, people don't you know your ancestor's history? Oh, never mind, all who confronted Dread died." He sighed. "Well, this was before I was born but I was told after Pandora opened the box and entrapped hope that three of the Evils got so powerful that they manifested themselves to humans. It was Dread, Hate, and Temptation. They made a huge disaster so The Big Three some how put them to sleep and put them in the deepest caves of the Earth; which happens to be in the Ocean.

"Dread somehow awakened. Now she'll awaken Hate and Temptation. Probably kill all the Big Three's children as revenge."

"Percy?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"I'm going."
