Hey hey hey. How's it going? That's nice. IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR! I'M SOO HAPPY! Thank You For All The Support! Anyway, No One Guessed The QOTD. SO LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.

NICO:

"Percy what happen to your face?"

I cringed at those words. State the obvious. I looked up at Percy. He clenched up is jaws and looks down in the ground.

"Ma'am," I looked at Annabeth, "I suggest you thank this hero for his work and leave him alone."

"Nico, be quiet. They should know too."

Sigh. Why does he have to act so heroic?

I slowly remove my mask and hood. Another gasp went through the crowd. Unlike Percy, I had a burn across my face (A/N: From the left eye and slightly lower…) but it was major.

"What happen? Who did this to you," Annabeth screeched grabbing my face in hand, examining.

"Like you care."

"Of course I care. What happen? Did a monster attack you?"

I hit Annabeth's hand; however, she didn't seem to notice/care. Her attention was now focused on Percy. His face was scrunched up as if he smelled something foul. He crossed his arms and turned a bit away from Annabeth's gray piercing eyes. "Introductions are over. Nico, let's go to the cabin."

I nod. We slowly walked into the woods.

"Dammit. Damn that Nathan."

I looked at Percy. He had his hands in large fist shaking. "I should've fought him earlier. I could've made sure that his fat mouth could be silent forever."

I grabbed Percy's hand, "You did the right thing Percy. You did what Chaos wanted you to do. That's all that counts."

He looked at me with those brilliant green eyes that were swirling with anger, sadness, and depression, "Thanks."

I punched him with my arm, "No problem man."

PERCY:

I was hungry. I've been hungry for a whole year. I've been hungry for revenge for a whole year. Against my brother, Annabeth, the gods, and 'it'. Oh how much I wanted to hurt them and show them what their precious hero really is. But when I had a perfect chance to do it, I froze. It's exactly what it said, "That's why the gods banished you, YOU ARE WEAK."

"Hey, you okay?" I looked down at Nico, who was tugging my arm. His hood was back on, his head down. He was shriving slightly. I realized it was raining. "Sorry."

"For what?"

"Bringing you into…this."

Nico shook is he and chuckled, "You didn't do anything Percy. I chose to follow you after the banishment and I also chose to stay with you through thick and thin."

I stayed silent.

"I love you Percy."

I felt my hand being tighten.

And then it got cold…

Nico put his hand down by his side, his head even lower, shaking violently.

"I love you too Nico."

I grabbed his hand and we walked the rest of the woods silently.

~That Night~

I had a dream…how ironic. Martin Luther King Jr. said those same words and I have a feeling that we didn't dream the same dream.

My dream wasn't about people holding hands together and one happy united family. My dream was more on the lines people pointing accusing fingers at me…

One day out of the blue, a boy with a red plaid shirt, dark jeans, and gray Converses walked down the hill. When he finally reached the bottom, I noticed the astonishment on his face. He had sea-green eyes just like me. His two front teeth were slightly turned in. He had brown hair, freckles running across his nose, and he was a tad bit chubby (like he hasn't exactly lost all of his baby fat just yet).

"Hey kid. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood."

The boy looked at Nico, Annabeth, and I.

"The names Nathaniel. Nathaniel Scott," the boy said with a country accent, "This is Camp Half-Blood?"

"The one and only. So Nathaniel, where you from," Annabeth asked walking towards the Big House.

"Montgomery, Alabama. Where we going?"

"The Big House."

"Who's there?"

I patted Nathaniel on the shoulders,"Woah man to many questions. We can let the man who runs the place answer all your questions."

We walked a bit further until…

"Why's the goth kid following us?"

Annabeth giggled and Nico growled. "Kid, let me tell you somethi-"

"My name ain't kid. It's Nathaniel. If it's so hard to say Nathaniel call me Nathan."

"I don't care if your name is Nathaniel, Logan, or even Elizabeth. I am NOT-under any circumstances- goth."

Nico puffed his cheeks and stomped away.

Follow Nico. Follow Nico. He needs you. "I'll be right back. Annabeth take him to Chiron."

I woke up with gasping for air. I looked around the cabin. Nico was next to me sleeping peacefully (we tend to sleep with each since we been on the run). I slowly got up from the bed. Nico moved. I froze in the middle of the room. I heard him sleep again. I tiptoed closer to the door. I grab something from the drawer close by and walked out.

SORRY THIS CHAPTER WAS SHORT. I APOLOGIZE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS IN MY HEAD AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE IT.
