I haven't seen Nathan at all this morning, which is really weird. Amber told me she heard that he never showed up at his cabin last night. I would've just called or texted him, but no phones for demigods. It didn't make any sense, so I risked going to the cabin myself. When I walked in, Nathan's half sister Larissa was the only one in there.

She looked up from her painting, which looked like Keiden without a shirt. Gross, isn't her being attracted to him like incest or something?

"Is Nathan here?" I asked.

"Nope. Didn't you hear?" she asked like I was stupid, "He never showed up last night."

"It's true then. He's actually missing."

"Yup." she said, enunciating her 'p' by popping her lips.

"Alright. Thanks." I said, adjusting my sweatshirt uncomfortably.

"No problem." she said and turned back to her artwork. I walked the border of the camp, checked the infirmary, arenas, and the other cabins, but no one else had seen him. I even went and prayed at my father's altar but I got nothing. I walked back to my cabin and spent the next few hours curled up in my sheets, worrying.


After combat training, I checked Nathan's cabin again, only to get annoyed looks and some vulgar comments tossed my way. With no luck there and with it already getting dark outside, I turned and headed back to my cabin.

I walked up to my dad's statue and looked up at his stone face. His expression seemed cold,..stone cold….hehe. Sorry, humor seems to distract me from the worry and anxiety.

"Hey….Dad," this was weird, but I felt like it was my last option, "I don't know if you're listening, or if you really care, but someone really important to me is missing or something, and I'm really worried."

I started crying, this was stupid. Zeus didn't even care that I was born, so why in the entire Underworld would he care about Nathan?

"Whatever, I don't even know why I bothered. Night, I guess." I said, hopped into bed and tried to sleep.
