All the right moves

Percy was in the middle of holding Annabeth, who was still sleeping from last night. She had cried the whole night till she finally fell asleep in his arms thinking of Tyson. Percy was still upset at the Apollo boys for what they did to Tyson, but he couldn't help but smile half-heartedly, at Tyson's bravery to step in front of Annabeth at the time. He traced her chin bone, swiping the tear stains as well.

"Annabeth? Wise Girl, time to wake up..." He whispered in her ear. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled half-heartedly.

"A few more minutes..." She pushed her hand in his face, closing her eyes dreamily. He grasped her hand in his and kissed it gently.

"Come on, we don't want to be seen by the others" Percy sighed.

She sighed, and brushed a strand of her blonde hair back. "Okay, where should we go now?"

"Anywhere but here, you know Zeus still can zap me out of this tree" Percy replied smiling while looking up at the sky.

"It's a safe place here, though" Annabeth mumbled.

"Someone could easily shoot us out of the tree with an arrow or spear" Percy smirked.

"Fine...Let's get down..." Annabeth sighed, and unraveled the sleeping bag around her shoulders. They climbed down, and Percy grabbed the backpack.

"Let's go through the forest." Annabeth suggested.

"Alright," Percy shrugged.

As they continued walking looking for a better place to stay, Percy could hear something in the distance. "Annabeth, stay still" Percy held her hand tight.

She turned towards him, "What is it?"

"Someone's here..." Percy looked around him, and Annabeth shortly followed. They saw nothing, until they turned towards their right, and a knife came right at Percy's throat. He gulped, looking down at the blade, and reached for his pocket for Riptide.

"Who's there?" Percy demanded. Two heads emerged from the tree on their right, both with jet black hair. "Thals? Nico? What are you doing here?" Percy asked as Nico lowered hhis sword. "And is that poison from the hecate cabin?"

"Gods no...it's juice from the Nightlock berries," Nico explained, as Thalia punched him in the shoulder.

"You didn't tell me that! That's highly poisonuous, you basically killed Leo!" Thalia snarled.

"Well! I didn't know it was highly poisonuous, I thought it was just really dark and looked deathly!" Nico exclaimed.

"Everything looks deathly to you!" Thalia elbowed him.

"Not everything!" Nico pouted.

"Like what?" Thalia snarled.

"Rainbows, Ponies..." Nico muttered.

"That's Butch!" Thalia shouted, hoping Butch wasn't watching.

"Well, I'm sorry! I hate his cabin, so cheerful and pretty!" Nico scowled.

"You've never been in his cabin!" Thalia spat.

"Just the sight of it makes me want to hurl!" Nico held out his hands in defense. Percy and Annabeth both shook their heads. "I mean, the way it's all rainbow-ey...It's just-"

"Shut up you two!" Percy and Annabeth shouted together, and they both looked up.

"Sorry..." they both murmured.

"What are you doing here?" Percy asked. "You haven't answered that question yet."

"What? Your cousins can't come and visit you," Thalia asked.

"Thals, We were to talk about..." Nico hinted.

"Yea, that too...We kinda heard-or saw- the projection of Tyson." Thalia shrugged.

"I think everyone did..." Percy smirked, "And I thought you, Nico, were with Bianca."

"You didn't see the projection yesterday?" Nico asked. "The Apollo boys killed her"

"What?" Annabeth cried. Nico shrugged.

"She wasn't the real Bianca anyway, but, I was a bit ticked off why the Apollo boys did that," Nico replied.

"Why-" Percy was about to ask.

"Cause I didn't finish Leo off," Nico cut in. "They're just in it for the kill for this game. They don't give a damn about anyone, they're only looking for blood"

"What do you mean by "finish" Leo off?" Annabeth asked suspiciously.

"They told me to kill him," Nico said casually. "Just because Clarisse was around. They wanted to torture her, because they were allies."

"Clarisse? With Leo? Are you sure about that?" Percy spat.

"Well, after that, Clarisse came in and killed Drew, because Drew was just about to kill him too. I only gave him a swing of this sword to his upper shin. Clarisse also killed the Dionysus boys last night too. So in total about three died yesterday, unless Leo or Clarisse died too." Nico mumbled.

"What do you mean? Clarisse wouldn't die this soon" Annabeth sighed. "She's like one of the strongest here"

"Yea, but when she managed to kill Castor, she fell over the cliff too, and then that was all I saw, cause Malcolm and Sherman were after me." Nico mumbled. "Wait... Why isn't Leo dead yet? Drew used my sword, and hit him in the chest pretty deep..."

"What?" Thalia demanded.

"When Drew was about to finish Leo off, Clarisse had just came down from that tree and was about to attack, when Drew sliced my sword across his chest from shoulder to shoulder," Nico demonstrated with his hand. "The berry's juice was on the sword at the time, how could he still be alive?"

"Where is he?" Thalia said worriedly.

"Last time I saw him, he was still on the cliff," Nico turned around and pointed to the mountain over the trees. "Why did't the Apollo boys find him yet..." Nico kept pondering.

"Should we help fire-boy out?" Percy smiled.

"Yes!" Thalia cried out immediately then looked aside. "I mean if you guys want too..."

Nico shrugged, "Sure"

"Let's go then," Annabeth smiled.

Tried to add humor, and I failed, and I got confused while writing so if it seems confusing, don't worry, you're not alone:P
