Hey! So I only got one review (thanks Artemis-girl123) but I know I'm updating kind of fast, so it's cool! : P

Anyways, I just want to say that I really appreciate all the reviews! I want to thank everyone who has reviewed on The Lost Daughter:

*clears throat* Thank you to storycat12, Samantha2449, bridgey621, hiddenheart4020, Artemis-girl123, Karly, and Leannna! It means a lot that you guys reviewed! Thanks so much!

BTW, if any of you are wondering about the boy thing (girls!), let's just say we're close friends, he doesn't love me back, I hide it, and his name is the password to my laptop…I think you can see where this is heading…

One more thing: If any reader wants to do one of those drawing things of Mori or any other of my characters, you can. Just PM me and tell me or give credit, you know? Okay! Think that's it!

Here's Chapter 10:

Mori's POV

I look out the window one more time before turning back to Nico. "You sure this is a gift from Zeus?"

He shrugs. "I don't know. But it's been raining for hours."

I grab my jean jacket from the corner of my bed. I had switched from my sweatshirt to a long black, skinny T-shirt earlier, and I slip my jacket over that. Nico stands. "Going somewhere?"

I nod. "Figure I might as well go see if Percy killed something."

Nico laughs and grabs his jacket, too. I slip a black baseball hat on before we both tip-toe to the front door. (It is two in the morning) We give each other a look before plunging blindly into the rain. I feel Nico grab my hand and we end up shadow traveling to the Poseidon cabin. The lights are on. Nico knocks.

Rain drips from my hat as Annabeth opens the door. She gives us a weird look. "Are you insane? You're gonna get pneumonia!"

She pulls us in and I shiver. Percy tosses us a towel from the bathroom and Nico just barely dries himself off before wrapping it around my shoulders. He puts an arm around me and I lean into him.

Annabeth goes into mother mode and crosses her arms across her chest. "What were you thinking?"

I shrug. "We were just curious about the rain. Thought maybe Percy did something."

"Hey!" He protests and I stick my tongue out at him.

Annabeth rolls her eyes. "No. Maybe Zeus is just…bored? Who knows?"

I nod and then look up at Nico. "Why the hell didn't we just shadow travel here from my cabin?"

He rubs the back of his neck. "Huh. Guess we could've just done that…"

Annabeth laughs from Percy's lap on his bed. Her ring glints from the light and I smile. Maybe Nico and I can end up like them some day.

I shrug off the towel and try to dry myself before turning my attention to Nico, who's soaked. As I'm drying him off, I get an idea. I have to stand on my tip-toes to whisper in his ear, "Clearing."

He grins at me and nods. Turing to his cousin, he says, "See you later," before we use the towel as an umbrella and run to the woods. We trip and stumble in the mud. When we finally reach the clearing, we and the towel are soaked. Nico pulls me under a big tree that keeps us semi-dry from the rain. I laugh.

We sit, curled up from the cold and I end up in his lap. I glance up at Nico and catch him staring at the scar on my ankle. I hit his arm. "Quit! I swear I'm going to end up giving up shorts all cause of this damn thing!"

He shakes his head. "You shouldn't even have that thing. I wish you didn't." I sigh and move to wear I'm in his lap, facing him, my legs wrapped around him. "And I wish you and I hadn't gone through…you know, dying."

He nods and smirks. "Don't we all…"

I sigh and re-position myself—again—to where I'm in his lap, my arms wrapped around his neck. We sit like that for what feels like ten minutes before the rain let's up to sprinkling. I yawn as Nico checks his watch and curses. "It's almost four."

I laugh and we stand. I shrug. "Why bother with sleep? I say we go do something incredibly stupid!"

"Like what?"

I shrug. "Oh! We could sneak out!"

He gives me a funny look before bursting out laughing. "Yeah, right."

"Yeah! Come on Nico, please? I'll do anything!"

He smiles. "Anything?"

"No sex."

"Mori! Not what I was thinking! I was going to go with…I don't know…maybe being my date to the wedding?"

I laugh slowly. "Sure. I already was so that's a horrible deal on your side and great on mine." Nico groans and I jump up, dragging him quietly back to my cabin. We slip into my room and I sling my bag over my shoulder after changing into a dry pair of black skinny jeans and my I'm dyslexic so if you put me in a spelling bee, you better be prepared for me to either say 'IDK' or cuss you out; your choice. T-shirt and black hoodie. I redo my bun and switch into my black high top converse. I drag Nico back to the Hades cabin and he changes into his own black skinny jeans, an old rock band tee, and his aviator jacket. I make sure my necklace is on and we head out. (I had gotten one of the Hecate girls to make my arrows a necklace a long time ago. It's just a black chain with a medallion of a black archer. I hold it and boom, bow.)

Nico and I run along the border line of the forest until we get to the camp border. I go and pet Pelius (A/N: Sorry if the names wrong! I forget it!) on the nose. "Good boy." Nico and I take one last look before grinning and running down the hill, praying no one sees us.

It takes about two and a half hours before we reach the city. We get there at about six thirty and my stomach growls. Nico laughs. "Hungry there, Mori?"

I nod. "Very. Come on!"

Luckily, I have some extra cash in my bag. We go to a café and buy two chocolate muffins and two large hot chocolates. We find a booth in the corner and I slide in first, hugging my knees and leaning into the wall. I bite into my muffin and sip my hot chocolate.

Nico smiles at me. "You have a mustache."

I laugh as he attacks my face with a napkin. "Crap. I was really trying to grow one and you totally just shaved it!"

He laughs. "Sorry."

After we finish, we take a walk through the park. I hop on the wall next to the river. Nico does the same. It's about seven now. I smile. "So. Mori is short for Morisana, as you know. What's Nico short for? Hmm?"

"Nothing."

I wiggle my eyebrows. "You sure? Come on. What is it? Nicholas? Nicolai? Hmm Nico? Hmm?"

He laughs. "No and no. It's just Nico."

I sigh. "Denial."

He rolls his eyes. "Sure."

I laugh and lay my head on his shoulder. I sigh. "I wish we could do this more often."

"Me too."

"MORISANA THANATOS CRASSE!"

My head jerks up and I almost fall off the wall but Nico settles me. We both look up to see a very pissed off Annabeth and Percy. "Where are you?" Annabeth screams at us. "You guys just snuck off? Are you insane?" She goes on and on until Percy stops her, giving us a stern look. "Mori, you doing this honestly doesn't surprise me. But Nico…? Really? Sneaking off is a dangerous thing for a half blood, especially for a son of the big three! You two…blah blah blah."

Now obviously, he didn't say 'blah blah blah', but I zoned out. After what seems like hours of scolding, I get an idea. I do a fake scream and hop off the wall, swatting the air. Nico looks at me like I'm insane. Annabeth says, "Mori!"

I yell, "Bee! Bee! Ah!" right before I swat my hand through the Iris message, making the pissed off people disappear. Nico falls on the ground, laughing his ass off. I grab my hand. "Now we run so they can't call us again!" He nods and we run off, into the city.

I'll update soon!

Review!
