Chapter 10

Third Person POV

The whole time while these opinions were being shouted out, the demigods were talking quietly. Well, when I say talking quietly, I mean that Calypso was telling her version, the right version, of the story. The only way she got the rest of them to be quiet was with the help of Piper and her charmspeak.

"Okay so I know that you've all gotten your memories back, but a few things may be missing. First of all, we came up to Olympus demanding our memories to be wiped." At this, the demigods looked confused. "Okay so you forgot that part." Calypso continues. "We all went to Olympus and wanted our memories wiped because of our own personal reasons.

As far as I know, Frank and Hazel wanted out because of constantly being afraid that Frank's wood was going to catch fire, or another Octavian follower was going to come and fight them. Apparently it was happening more and more frequently." Frank and Hazel nod, confirming the theory.

"Leo and I wanted to forget our time apart. I was constantly afraid that he wasn't coming back, and he worked himself to the bone trying to get to me and with a lot of failures, it was a very depressing time for us. Leo was always upset and working, he was trying to fix Festus, and he was constantly fixing the Argo II and trying to keep it in the air, not to mention the sphere thing he was always trying to work out." Everyone crowded around Leo and Calypso patting their backs and thanking Leo over and over for all of his hard work.

"Piper and Jason were always traveling back and forth between the two camps. Jason was tired, as he was always building new structures for the minor gods and goddesses. The two of them were fighting quite a lot about everything, they were stressed and confused. They both had different opinions and were able to talk things out before agreeing to go up to Olympus." Jason grabbed Piper and apologised to her as the memories came rushing back of the two fighting and Piper did the same.

"Percy and Annabeth were having a really bad time with nightmares and flash backs of Tartarus." When Calypso said this, Percy and Annabeth shuddered. Calypso winced and continued. "Sorry guys. I won't say any more about it. The rest of you know what they went through right?" The others nodded hastily, as they knew what Percy and Annabeth had gone through and why they wanted more that anyone to get rid of their memories.

The gods cleared their throats and the demigods turned to look at them.

Nico's POV

I looked around at Calypso and nodded my thanks. She smiled back at me, and I realised that she was someone that I could trust.

There was no way that the rest of the demigods could know why I wanted to give up my memories. I was going to give them up forever, but then I had a good talk to Chiron. He tried to convince me that they were worth something and that I shouldn't turn in my memories for different ones. I know Chiron meant the best for me but I got angry. I didn't want to remember what I had gone through. Chiron didn't know what I had gone through but then someone who did came up to me and demanded that I talk to him about it before making any rash decisions.

I had walked with Will into my cabin and he sat on my bed and patted the spot next to him. I sat down and waited for him to yell at me for being stupid. But it never came. He wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him. He let me go and looked me in the eyes.

"If you really want to go, I'm not stopping you." He said smiling sadly. "Just remember that if you do, you aren't going by yourself. I'll- I'll come with you unless of course I'm the reason that you're leaving." He says with a light laugh. I smile at him. "Of course not. I'm going because I can't stand going over all of my mistakes in my head." I stopped smiling and told him everything. While he already knew it, he took it all in and he listened and I realised that I wasn't alone.

"Look Nico, do you want my advice?" I nodded and he smiled as if he had expected a different answer. "I think, Nico, that you're right in that you need a break, but I don't think that you need to forget all of this completely. You have so many things be proud of and you have learnt so much, you can't just forget all of this. You did so much in that quest and you weren't even part of the Seven that the prophecy mentioned. I think that you did more to help than most of them combined. You can't just forget about everything. And what about all of your friends?"

I laughed at this point. It was a dry laugh. A sarcastic laugh. "Right. All of my many friends." Will looked at me in disappointment. "Come on Nico. You seriously think that you have no friends? That is mean. Everyone that you have worked with like you. The Seven are your friends, I'm your friend. Tartarus! Even Reyna is your friend!" I smiled at him, but then the doorbell rang fifty billion times and my jaw dropped. "Holy Hades, you didn't." I looked at Will and he grins at me. "Oh no. oh no, oh no." Will got up and opened the door and in came Piper, Jason, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Calypso and Reyna. I gulped and gave one of my hardest glares to Will but he just laughed at my obvious discomfort.

Not bothering to take turns, they all came up to him and gave me a hug. I had been embarrassed at the time, but I had quickly come to realise that without that happening, I would probably not be here now, I wouldn't have the slightest clue at who the people around me were. Looking back at the memories, I was kind of grateful to Will for bringing everyone to my cabin so that I would know that I was actually appreciated because as soon as the war was over, I became emo Nico again and no one would talk to me, which I now realise was because I didn't talk to them first. Being alone is so hard, but I guess I thought that having friends would have been harder.

When everyone came up and complimented me and thanked me over and over for all the work I did back on the quest. I have to admit that it did make me feel kind of proud, but what really got through to me was when they pulled me to the camp fire and all of the campers were there waiting for us. There were banners everywhere sporting the words 'We Love You Nico!' and 'Don't leave us Nico!' and all of those kinds of things. That night I had been surrounded by people who quickly became my friends. I wasn't the most popular by any standards but I was known. But the best part was that I wasn't the sad depressed kid anymore, I was a friend that was just a little different. I stopped being so secretive and I was more open with everyone and I had opinions that were counted and I felt that I was part of something. I had expected to be left alone again after a few days but I was still patted on the back and waved to by the time three months were up. The only reason that it stopped was because I was no longer there for everything to be received.

At about three in the morning after the camp fire party, the Seven and Reyna and I went to a secluded spot in the beach, and when I say in the beach, I mean under the water in an air bubble that Percy created for us.

"Okay so the party was awesome, but I think that we need to get away from all of this for a while." Percy says.

"Yeah, Percy's right. We have gone through so much, and I think we need a break. Not a permanent break but maybe one for a year or something." Annabeth continues. While she says this, everyone's eyebrows are raising and they start to talk all at once.

"What about our jobs?" Jason asks, his voice rising above everyone else's.

"Jason, out of all of the demigods you have working for you, don't you think that you could choose one to lead for a little while?" Annabeth asks with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Jason frowned but he couldn't argue with Annabeth's logic. Percy laughs but then continues.

"I think that we definitely need a break from this demigodly world. I'm sure that they can last a little while without us. A normal life might actually do us a bit of good. I talked to Athena this morning-"he said before being cut off by a very confused Annabeth.

"You did?"

"Yes I did, and she thinks that we should go to High School for a while."

"Of course she does." Leo breaks in scowling. In a matter of two seconds, Leo was pressed against the side of the bubble with Annabeth's knife, held by the one and only Annabeth herself, pressed against his throat.

"Guys! You'll pop the bubble!" Percy said, but he said it a bit too late. The bubble popped and everyone got a good soaking by the time that Percy had created another one. Percy quickly dried everyone off. There was a quick agreement as everyone realised that a break wasn't such a bad idea after all. Their air bubble was popped and everyone went up to Chiron to organise everything.

In the end, we went to high school because we needed a break from the demigod world and we had to catch up on our education. The gods thought that living a normal life for a while was a good idea because we hadn't really experienced one, and we agreed.

The seven grew very far away from everyone else and cut themselves off from the rest of the camp. Jason was always flying away with Piper, using their time spending it together. Percy swum underwater with Annabeth all the time, his powers giving her the ability to breathe underwater, they too wanting to spend their last week's together. Frank and Hazel were never in the same place once. They were constantly going travelling thanks to Frank's abilities.

By the time two weeks were up, we were all both excited and nervous. The other campers had no idea what was going on and so when we told them at the campfire, there was a massive outburst that no one, not even Piper, could control. In the end, it was Clarisse who calmed them all down. Yeah, you heard me right, I said Clarisse. As in Clarisse La Rue. I know, I can't get over it either. But I guess when you know how she did it, it wasn't as strange.

"OKAY YOU PUNKS! YOU HAD BETTER SHUT THE TARTARAUS UP COZ YOU'RE ALL GIVING ME A HEADACHE! IF YOU DON'T GUESS WHO WILL BE RUN THROUGH WITH MAIMER!" She had yelled.

"Oh no!"

"Not Lamer!" That had been the Stoll's. They both ended up in the infirmary with black eyes and split lips, but they were laughing the whole time. It was totally worth it apparently.

I laugh as I recount the memory. Everyone's head turns toward me and I laugh nervously.

"Hey Nico, are you okay?" Piper asks.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Okay good because we are going back to camp in a minute." Jason says. Everyone looks nervous. No one knows what has been going on at camp and if anything has gone wrong, we will never be able to forgive ourselves.

Hi Guys! Look! We made it to chapter 10! Amazing! So we have a little bit of Nico! I love Nico so much and I though that he should have a nice chapter. Okay so this is the longest chapter so far! It will probably never be this long ever again!

Welcome back to school everyone! I just started High School so... I'm not too sure what to expect. Anyways, as always, review or PM me with opinions and ideas! If you have anything that you want to happen in the story, feel free to ask and I will try to make it happen!

Thanks for reading!
