CHAPTER 11

Hi! Update! Woo hoo!

Disclaimer:

Me: yes, because if I owned everything; I would be typing here and not some book.

Leo: She owns nothing I tell you NOTHING! Except Ivy….

Thank you everyone for Alert/ favorite/review my stories! And say Thank you to Andrew! Cuz with her; I wouldn't have written OR have an account here. Thanks for sticking around Everybody! Oh gods; I sound like some Celebrity at a concert. Ewwww…

NICO POV

I slept the morning. Yes, some of you are probably groaning; wishing you had slept til' 1:30 PM to. Cue Groans. IN YOUR FACE! Cue more groans. I missed breakfast- and lunch. So; as you can tell; I was starving. Luckily; Ivy was waiting for me outside with a few muffins and cereal.

"You're a lifesaver Ivy!" I said hugging her. I saw her blush and smile.

"No prob Nicoki- Nico. Hehehe" I smiled and took my plate; sitting on the steps. Ivy sat next to me. I didn't mind, I was too hungry to care…Until she started staring. I smiled at her with my mouth stuffed with the blueberry muffin; at least tried to smile…She laughed- not the creepy Voldemort laugh; but a soft, NORMAL laugh. When I finished I hugged her again; and threw away the plate. I headed to Art and Crafts. OMG! A Hades kid playing arts and crafts! I know…I'm cool like that. (Lmaooo) The Apollo kids gave me weird looks. That was like the only awesome thing about not sharing a cabin; you always made up your own schedule. I smiled and tried to fit in. Unfourtanetly; that didn't work. Okay…Plan B! I walked out; gripping some random water bottle. I was probably choking it….if it was alive… The water bottles sprout a little leak by the bottom. At least it didn't wet my pants. No; wait; I jinxed it. I ran to my cabin; nobody noticing. I quickly changed my pants and disposed the random water bottle. This time; I was headed for the sword arena; were no little random water bottles would show up. I went against Percy. I lost of course. Percy was the best swordsman. He beat the king of the titans; for the gods' sake! That's all I need to say. He's all epic with his slicing and dicing and ficing. Okay, now I'm making up words to describe his awesome swordsmanship. I smiled at him; and left. Nobody fought Percy anymore- everyone was pretty scared of him and honored at the same time how epic he was with his pen-sword. I stole a glance at Leo who was alone. Thalia; was with her hunters in the archery arena with the Apollo kids. HEY! Didn't I see the Apollo kids 2 seconds ago? I swear; they're creepy. Note to self: Ask Apollo Kids. I wonder….What if the Random water bottle was Apollo's son? Haha; I'm kidding. I'm not that dumb…I think…Am I? I argued with myself back in forth like that all the way to the Big House.

LEO POV

EARLIER TODAY

I woke up at 4:30 A.M. I am VERY cranky right now. My 'siblings' decided to started building before the sun had even risen. I looked in the mirror of the bathroom, rubbing my eyes. I looked at myself in the mirror- ruffled curly hair and dark purple irises. Not pretty. I groaned and stepped into the shower. The water helped wake me up. At last; I stepped out of the shower and got dressed. I walked past the Hades cabin- snoring. Lucky Nico. The Apollo cabin was outside by the cliff; probably waiting for sunrise. The Artemis cabin was in the woods; practicing. At least I wasn't the only one awake.

Maybe Thalia was in the forest to….

I shook off the thought; I would be pulverized the second I stepped in the forest. Poor Hephaestus cabin I suddenly thought. I don't know why; I just did. I groaned. I was exhausted; as I walked up the steps to the Hephaestus cabin; my legs felt tired they resisted the will power to move any longer and I passed out right then and there.

Thalia POV

I walked out of the forest; laughing at a joke Phoebe had made. I stared in shock; Leo had passed out on the steps of the Hephaestus cabin. The girls rolled their eyes. I moved across him and knocked on the door. Leo drooled. He looked sleepy and he was a heavy sleeper… Hehehe; not that I knew or anything…. Nyssa opened the door, stared at Leo and rolled her eyes.

"Typical Leo" she said dragging his legs in. I gaped at her. She was STRONG! I waved at walked away with my 'troop.' Some hunters wanted to sleep, others wanted to annoy the living crap out of the Apollo cabin. This was a normal day for us. Today, I wanted to chill around the lake. I pulled on a black green day t-shirt, some faded jeans and a pair of black converse. I added a black cap and walked to the lake. I sat down, smiling at myself. I checked my watch: 6:30. The sun was starting to rise. I watched the sun rise, sun rays glistened on the current. It eventually shone to my eyes. I groaned. I stood up and walked away from the pretty sight before it had even started. It was breakfast time now; I walked over to the Big House to see all my hunters waiting for me. I made a sign for them to go in. Nico was absent. As usual; he was probably sleeping the day away. I wish I could do that. But I was supposed to be responsible and be a team leader….Screw that. I wished sleeping mornings. I thought Leo was more awake now, until he stumbled along into the Demeter cabin and the Athena cabin and basically fell into his bowl of cereal and fell asleep. I thought people only did that in movies….the hunters were laughing at the hurt look on the Demeter cabins' face when they saw him. Leo finally awoke; 10 minutes later, with a Cheerios beard. It was funny. I sacrificed my food to Zeus and Artemis and Hera because I decided to be nice to her. Even though she took my brother, killed my mother, tried to kill me 2 months ago with an army of cows and peacocks; I was still trying to me nice.

Ooo! Thank you for my sacrifice dear! I barely get sacrifices! Geee, I wonder why…? Maybe the fact she sends cows and peacocks after every demigod she sees has something to do with it…. A LOT. I saw Leo mumble 2 words. Hephaestus and someone else. Hmmm…. I shrugged it off and walked to my Greek class.

NICO POV

After my lunch/breakfast or whatever you call it; I saw Leo practically falling to the floor every 5 seconds. Nyssa had to be next to him. I doubt they would be able to work on the Argo today. Ivy just smiled at me when I asked her why he was tired. Of course; she always knew everything; in some weird, funky way. (xDD) I would have to ask her about that one day. Ivy was a good friend, sure she clinged to you like glue and stalked you around, but she was nice; I guess. (That's Andrew for you!) We walked in circles around the flagpole 9 times before deciding what to do now. I was pretty dizzy but I was used to it because of shadow travel. Ivy looked shaken and was ready to twirl like an idiot. I grabbed her by the shoulders and guided her, like a cho-cho train. Except; we were too old for that. Everyone called it the 'Conga Line' to make it less childish. It was just a cho-cho train with music. Same thing. I felt Ivy's pulse rise. I smiled faintly and headed for our canoe lessons. Percy always won at this too. I didn't mind, I helped him get his cool Styx powers (XD I couldn't resist! Remember this line? Tell me who said it!) Which made him like you know; win. But he was still the best swordsmen either way; Achilles' curse or not. The day ended, it was a pretty good day, I got into my fluffy black pajamas and slipped into bed.

Leo: Fluffy black pajamas? *cracks up*

Grover: With Enchilada pictures on it?

Leo: *between laughs* no….

Grover: I hate his pajamas.

Me: errr, this all the time we have for today!
