Hello everyone, so sorry for the long update but here is a new chapter for BOTW and I hope you guys liked it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and The Olympians

"Are you sure Margo's going to be okay?" Percy asked for what seemed like the millionth time.

"Yes Percy," Reyna huffed, "the nurse had a doctor look over her and he gave her medication which she will be taking. He also said she needed to rest and she can't do that if you're hovering over her like a mother hen."

"I'm sorry," Percy looked down, looking like a kicked puppy, "I'm just worried. I wanna know if she'll be okay."

Reyna's face softened at that, "I'm going to be taking her home and I'll make sure her parents know. We'll be going in her car so ask someone for a ride to get to Hector's. Tell her grandfather what happened, I'm sure he'd want to be informed, okay?"

"Yeah, okay." Percy nodded his head.

"Hey," Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand and held it, "it's going to be okay, she's going to be fine. Like you said, she's a fighter and whatever that other girl did is not going to faze her."

Percy squeezed Annabeth's hand back, "yeah thanks Wise Girl, I just wish you could have met her. Not like this, not with you watching her being carried into her car while she's asleep and hurt."

"There will be other chances when I'll get to meet her, don't worry, besides, we've gotta get to Hector's and we have to see who can take us." Annabeth said as she looked around at the other people who were with them. There was Luke, Will, Clarisse, Jason, Piper, Nico, Percy of course, and Frank, since Reyna and Margo were going to be missing practice.

"You guys can come with me and Nico," Will suddenly spoke up, smiling cheekily, until of course he got kicked in the back of his leg by the scowling brown eyed boy.

"Yeah, that sounds good," Annabeth turned to the blond, "I know Luke is taking Frank, Jason and Piper..."

"Clarisse goes off by herself on her bike so we've got room for you guys," Will continued, ignoring the pain that had shot up his leg because of the kick Nico had given him, the blond was so going to get him back for it.

"Thanks Will, but is Nico okay with this?" Annabeth asked the blond male before turning to look at Nico. The brown eyed boy felt her calculating gaze on him, those steely gray eyes seemed to delve deep into his soul, as if picking him apart, as if he were some puzzle and then putting him back together once she figured him out. It was a bit disconcerting to say the least. He looked at her and nodded his head. "Yeah, it's fine," he said.

"Okay, great," she gave him a small smile, but her eyes said something entirely different. It wasn't that she was being mean, it was just that it seemed like she was analyzing him.

"Great," Percy clapped Nico on the back, and slipping his arm around Annabeth's shoulders, "let's get going if we wanna avoid traffic."

"This is where you live?" Reyna asked the redhead who was laying down in the backseat of her car. The brown eyed girl looked at the house that belonged to Margo and softly whispered 'whoa'. The house was huge!

"Ha, yeah I know, not something you would expect, huh?" The redhead let out a laugh and then groaned, laughing had made her body hurt.

"Don't laugh Little Red, or else you're going to be hurting even worse." Reyna teased as the gates of Margo's house opened up to let them in.

The house (more like mansion) had a big driveway that circled around the front of it so that you drove around this fountain in the middle and leave the same way you came in. There was a road off to the left where it seemed to lead to the parking garages, because yes, there was more than one garage. The front of the house had these white columns, and the entire house was white. There were so many windows showing off pieces of the inside of the house, and this was only the front. Once Reyna stopped in front of the front steps that lead to the porch, a butler came out and opened the door for Reyna to step out of the car.

"Uh, thank you?" She said slowly, not really knowing how to react to this.

"What happened to the Miss?" The butler asked, looking worried once he took notice of Margo.

"She was in a battle at school...the opponent she fought injured her badly, but the doctor looked her over and gave her pills to take. She just needs rest." Reyna explained while the butler took Margo out gently and carried her inside.

"Please, follow me." He said and walked off, leaving Reyna no choice but to follow.

Once inside, Reyna was met with a single grand staircase that led up to the second floor. The floor was white marble, the stairs an off-white color with a hint of gray. The brown eyed girl looked on in awe at the house, it was impressive on the outside and even more so on the inside. On the right side of where the staircase was, it led to the living room and on the left, it looked to be the dining room. Reyna looked to see the butler already reaching the second floor and leaving her behind, racing up the stairs she caught up to him, not wanting to be left alone.

She followed him until he reached the third door on the right, opening it and going inside. Reyna followed after him and went inside the room as well, closing the door behind her, she looked around and felt her mouth start to hang open. But she couldn't help it really, Margo's room was as big as Nico's maybe a bit bigger? Margo had a huge bed, king sized, the walls were a turquoise color. On the other side of the wall, opposite her bed, there was a big TV hung on the wall, under it was a DVD player, a cable box, her xbox and playstation. On the left side of the room were a ton of games and movies, while on the right side of the room, there was a big shelf filled with books. Next to that was Margo's desk with her laptop on top, papers and notebooks laying around. Off to the side, Reyna noticed that Margo had a hammock hanging around.

There were two doors, each placed on either side from where the TV hung, Reyna guessed either one could lead to Margo's bathroom and closet. The brown eyed girl looked to the windows and saw that Margo had a balcony that overlooked the backyard of the house. She walked up to the window and saw that she had a pool, and off to the side were a couple of swing sets.

"My house is big, huh?" Margo asked once the butler had left them alone in her room.

"Big is an understatement," Reyna looked over to see Margo laying down on the bed, blankets had been placed over her, "your place is huge."

"Yeah, I know it is," she shrugged her shoulders and closed her eyes briefly.

Reyna couldn't help but to think back on the conversation she had with Margo earlier, back when they were in the nurse's office, had Margo been telling the truth? Then again, she had told Reyna that she could ask Nico about it for confirmation...

"What I said was true you know, back at school, and like I said, you can ask Nico about it if you don't believe me. Just...please don't tell Percy, I'll find a way to tell him when I feel the time is right..." Margo said quietly, making Reyna look back at her, she still had her eyes closed but she was frowning slightly.

"Okay...well since you are telling the truth, why the hell did he hurt you? Make you fight with Circe? Why did you even battle her in the first place?" Reyna asked.

"I fought Circe because we had a small disagreement, it was nothing big but Triton...he's mad that I joined Nico, he wanted to get back at me. And this was the only way, it was either I fought, or he was going to make Percy fight...by baiting him..." Margo explained.

"How would he get Percy to do that?"

"How else? I'm his friend Reyna, how do you think Percy reacted when he saw that I was battling? I bet he panicked...Triton was going to use me one way or another, and me battling, it was the easy way out so that Percy wouldn't get involved...more than he already is." The redhead opened her eyes and looked directly at Reyna, holding her gaze, "like I said, Triton's angry that I joined your side, and he wanted revenge. He got it I guess..."

"That's sick, especially since you're his-"

"It doesn't matter." Margo cut the brown eyed girl off, "but this was also a good thing..."

"How so?" Reyna asked, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Because now you got to see what Circe is made of, what her style is like, we got some of her moves. I hope you studied them."

"What happened to your leg, what did she do to you?"

"I'm not sure, but she says she blocked off a pressure point in my leg. All I know is that when my leg made contact with her, it was like fire was racing through my veins. It hurt to move...if she can hit your pressure points, she could possibly paralyze you and then...when you can't move, she could finish you..."

"So then that's something I would need to watch out for..."

Silence ensued as each girl was lost in her thoughts. Reyna looked at Margo and thought that she somehow, to a degree, understood why Nico was so paranoid around her, why he didn't trust her as easily...with what the redhead told her of Triton and their relationship...but then, she didn't understand why Nico couldn't see that Margo had proven herself. That the redhead was more than trustworthy now...

"I should get home..." the brown eyed girl stood up then, before looking over at Margo, laying down in the bed, looking weak and pale. She didn't look like herself, her face didn't have that rosy color to it, her lips were pressed and her eyes didn't have that usual light of mischief in it.

Margo's lips pressed even further, and around the upper corners of her lips, small dimples appeared, before she smiled and they became more prominent. "Yeah, I...guess you should..." she looked at the brown haired girl, and smiled softly, "thanks for bringing me home. Charles can call you a cab to take home. We'll pay."

"Oh...oh no, you don't have to do that, I can call a cab myself-"

"Really Reyna it's cool, you took me home, it's the least I can do to say thank you, so thanks." Margo smiled and nodded her head at her.

"Okay."

"So this is where Hector lives?" Annabeth asked as soon as she stepped out of Nico's car, "nice place, very rustic."

The brown eyed boy rolled his eyes at her, 'nice place, very rustic' ugh, can she get anymore annoying? he thought, before he turned his gaze to her. He saw the blonde looking around Hector's property and couldn't help but glare at her. Nico didn't understand, he had no right to even get annoyed at Annabeth, she had done nothing wrong! Yet here he was, glaring at her as if she had murdered his family right before his very eyes. But he couldn't help it...Percy and her, they were close and for some reason (not really, he knew the reason, he was just in denial) it bothered the hell out of him.

The small gestures Percy would do, he would hold her hand, rub their hands together, he would place his arm over her shoulder, tuck a stray strand of beautiful blonde hair behind her ear...those little things that shouldn't mean anything yet meant so much...it bothered him.

"Yeah," Percy's cheerful voice cut through his disturbing thoughts, "it is a nice place, you're gonna love Hector Wise Girl, he's awesome." Annabeth only giggled as she ran her hand through Percy's hair, a twinkle in her eyes. If Nico didn't know any better (and he actually didn't) he would say that Percy and Annabeth looked like a couple. A very good-looking, perfect couple. He wanted to puke.

"Don't frown so much or else you're gonna get wrinkles," Will whispered quietly into Nico's ear. The brown eyed boy flinched, which caused the blond to shake with silent laughter. "My bad Neeks, I just couldn't help it," Will said, before laughing some more.

"Shut it Solace, don't forget, I'm going to get you back," Nico hissed as he tried to walk away from the blond.

"Get back at me?" Will asked, looking almost offended, "what did I do? You're the one who kicked me in the back of my leg, I should be the one plotting revenge against you."

"You're also the one who suggested, no, offered to take Percy and Annabeth into my car saying everything was fine. How could things be fine when-when..." Nico stopped, and looked around. He had almost spilled the beans on his confusing feelings for Percy.

"When what?" The blond urged Nico to continue, fully knowing what Nico was about to say.

"Forget it," the brown eyed male huffed slightly, waving off his stupid friend before going over to the front of Hector's door and knocking twice. The ebony haired boy had a feeling that today's practice was going to last forever.

Will shook his head at the brown eyed boy, he knew exactly why Nico felt what he felt, but he was too stubborn (and in denial) to admit it, even to himself. It was a bit frustrating, not to mention, Percy seemed to be a bit oblivious to the fact that Nico was harboring a crush on him.

...

Practice had been cut shorter than usual and it was due to the fact that Hector wanted to know how Margo was doing, he said he would call his daughter once practice was finished. And so, with practice cut short, the rest of the wolves left Hector's home and drove back home.

Will was busy changing stations when his stomach grumbled, and he looked to the rest of the people riding in Nico's car before lowering the volume and clearing his throat, "anyone else hungry? 'Cause I sure am." The blond could feel Nico's glare without even looking at him and couldn't help the smile that came across his face.

"Yeah," Annabeth answered Will, well aware of Nico looking at Will like he was going to murder the blond, in all honesty, Annabeth found it funny. She had her suspicions that Nico was somewhat feeling something for Percy, she was yet to have actual proof of this but she could tell from the venomous looks Nico would sometimes throw her way. "I could go for something to eat, what about you Perce, you hungry?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry, what do you say Nico, wanna stop for a bite?" The sea green eyed male looked to the brown eyed male and Nico didn't have the heart to say no to Percy. He nodded his head and smiled albeit begrudgingly.

"Let's eat Five Guys," Will suggested and Nico made a right turn to go into the parking lot.

Soon enough, all four of them had ordered their food and were sitting at a table with Nico next to Will and in front of Percy who was next to Annabeth.

As if it hadn't been bad enough that Nico had to endure Annabeth and Percy acting like as if they were a couple, he now had to see them sharing their food and drinks all while talking to each other. The brown eyed boy tried his best to distract himself by listening to Will talking about this new show he was watching, but he couldn't seem to focus on anything other than Percy and Annabeth. It was like, ever since that night hanging out with Percy had somehow made him very aware of the green eyed male and that really bothered him.

Finishing their food, the four of them made their way back to Nico's car to go back home. Will was the first to be dropped off and before getting off, he winked at Nico before saying that they would talk more tomorrow, Annabeth was next and she had smiled at Nico, telling him she had a fun time and that they should hang out again very soon. Nico had to force himself to smile and nod at the blonde's suggestion, agreeing to it half-heartedly. Lastly it was Percy.

The drive to Percy's house had at first been silent but soon enough, the two were talking about their day and what they were planning on doing tomorrow, Percy had asked Nico if they could hang out and play video games once again, seeing as how much fun they had last time and the ebony haired boy couldn't have agreed faster. Though, he really did hate how fast he had agreed to meet up with Percy the next day, he was happy that Percy had suggested they hang out and for some inexplicable reason, it sort of flooded his body with warmth.

Once he dropped off Percy, he went home, feeling a bit lighter than usual, a bit happier at the thought of hanging out with Percy. Although, Nico didn't know what brought on the urge to hang out, he thought that Percy still didn't like being around him...

Once he parked his car, he got a text from his dad asking Nico to buy some milk and bread. Rolling his eyes, because his dad had the worst timing ever, he decided it would be best to walk, it was only a couple of blocks anyway. Nico made his way to the cashier once he grabbed what he needed and paid before collecting his things and walking out. The night was fresh, there wasn't a breeze but it was still pretty chilly, fall had most definitely set in. Nico saw leaves scatter the ground as he walked by, his feet crunching on them as he passed, the night air was cool and all around him it was still, as if the city were asleep.

As the brown eyed boy made his way back home, he was lost in his thoughts of Percy. His sudden feelings for the sea green eyed male were confusing and he didn't know whether he liked Percy or not, well currently he did it was just that, Nico was denying it. He also wondered how Percy felt towards. The brown eyed boy knew very well that he didn't exactly leave a good first impression on Percy but he hoped that over time, he had surpassed that. Would Percy even be open to...nevermind, besides, Percy himself said that he never met anyone who could capture his attention long enough for him to actually have feelings for that person.

So lost in his thoughts was he that Nico didn't notice until it was too late.

Before he could even scream out for help, he was muffled and blinded and being taken away to who knew where. Not long after being rendered senseless, did the punches start coming and they didn't stop for a long time.

Okay, so I am extremely sorry for how long this took to update and for the crappy chapter. I'm not exactly happy with it but I wanted to get something out before you guys thought that I had forgotten about this story. Sorry this chapter isn't as good as the others, I promise next chapter will be better but hopefully you enjoyed some of this... tell me your thoughts!
