Percy was confused. He always was. But he wasn't worried because he knew he always made the right choices. Okay! He had to admit maybe he was a little bit worried but even if he tried to understand the bit of information he had, he was still lost.

First of all he didn't know why Chiron wanted his mother book. One. Maybe it had information that would benefit them. Two. He'll bring the book for himself to quell his growing curiosity. It was just lending he supposed, his mother wouldn't mind. But even if a hundred thought ran through his head. The look in Scarlet's still had him worried. The same one she made when Chiron told her everything. He knew that look. It was the same look he had given himself a thousand times. The same he had reflected upon in his cabin's bathroom mirror. It was fear mixed with sadness.

At that instants Nico enter the room, halting his thought for a moment. All eyes turn to him.

"Have you seen Scarlet? She isn't in the room or at the meeting table."

Percy glance toward Chiron who look preoccupied. A look he didn't like. A look that was mixed with concern and fretfulness. A look that dread the future.

"Damn, she is mad!"

Chiron grab his head running a hand through his hair and sigh heavily. Percy thought he look old. Even if Chiron had enough years to be his hundred-great grandfather. He look older. Even if magic quell it a little.

"Let's go find her. We need to find her."

And they set to find her.

For some reason Percy couldn't stop himself from asking.

"Why don't you want her to be seen by the other camper?"

Chiron didn't answer at first. It took him a while to answer. From the looks of it he was thinking of whether or not to tell them. But he did and it left a flabbergasted Percy in the aftermath.

"Cause…I don't want her to meet Drew."

And Percy share a look of bewilderness to his friends. Who too share a look of completely confusion, neither had expected the answer. But by the looks of it. The one most surprised was Piper who mumble her half-sister named.

Judging by Annabeth's look Percy knew that it had left her thinking. Why was Drew inside this predicament? Did they know each other? What would happened if they meet? Would it be bad?

Bad would be an understatement, but neither had any idea they had already. Those setting the events that the future will bring to them.

After Scarlet went walking along the beach after her unexpected encounter Drew. With a dejected heart and a clouded head. She walk along the beachside. Her steps contrast with her thoughts. They were soft almost invisible. She barefooted walk, sand covered her feet. She didn't have any clothing or footing to wear, apart from the ones she had on. A worn shirt and a black shirt pants, which Chiron had given to her. She didn't care anymore if anybody saw her. She always did everything that would benefit others instead of hers. Like giving herself for exchange. Preventing her guilty mind from consuming her.

What reason Chiron had for trying to hide me? I don't care anymore.

Her head was becoming confused by sad thoughts. Sadistic thoughts!

Why was she born? What was she need for? A war?

She found no need of her being born. She never had any reason to live. Her father left her when she was little. Her mother was dead a long time ago, with her little brother. Her best friend didn't remember her and to make matter worse she didn't had any other friends. She didn't have any home. She was all alone. The feeling of it was dreadful for her. She was losing herself and she couldn't stop herself from going that road. A road than many like her had gone through. Some wore saved other weren't.

She continue walking towards the cliff. From far she could see the harsh clash of the water against the wall. The night had fall. The stars came out from their hiding and the big-grey orb shine through the stygian darkness. She look up to the stars. Even the stars had a purpose.

To beautify the night.

But she didn't find it, her purpose. And it's been 17 long years, and she never found her ambition in life. Many had...since a young age, but even if they hadn't, they would had eventually find it. That was the reality. That was what Scarlet thought. If they didn't had parents or friends that loved them. They would had survived but a lot did for that same reason. They did have and it was a more reasonable explanation for they push them forward, each one for their own good. There life of a lot of billion people were peaceful. Friends that cared for them. Family that loved them. What more could they ask for. But they did and some had met their ends for that same greed. But she didn't have any and it crush her heart.

She had reach the edge of the cliff. She stood silently by the edge. She didn't move nor had any actions to take. She was calm. Even the wind was against her outlook. It was loud and ferocious. Sending her long hair flying in every direction. A really beautiful contrast. The wind, the water and the earth beneath her was at war against her.

Everything is against me!

She move closer to the edge. A rather dreadful feeling rammed into her heart. She didn't want to be living and a war wasn't going to be enough reason to sustain her to this world. There was only one reason that had made her lived until that moment and it was Drew. The satisfaction of knowing that life could grant her a wish of meeting her best friend again, but the horrible result that her sacrifice did work but bitterly change her wish.

One step more and I will join them.

A chill went down Nico spine, and the other notice that even though he tried fervently to hid it. He suddenly went cold, stopping in the process. A feeling that came with death. The same feeling that came with a cold body. Black clothing. Cries of despair. And sad hymns.

"The cliff!" he shouted. He saw her. He didn't know how but he had seen her walking towards the edge. It was a short image but he got the picture and it full him of alarm.

"What…"

He heard Percy's voice questioned but he had already bolted towards the cliff. He didn't even stop to see if they had gotten the message. He didn't know if they were following him but he didn't care. He just ran. His legs making huge step.

He panted as he reach the edge.

A he saw her standing alone. Just a mere foot away from the edge of the cliff.

"Stop! Scarlet don't."

She stop. At first she thought she had imagine it. A boyish voice. Childish, but it full of warmth. Warmth she had missed for a long time.

She tilt her head to the side and she found the voice of warmth.

The son of hades?

"Don't do it. Don't be afraid!" His eyes were wide and shining with anxiety at her next course of action. "I will protected you. I'll be your friend."

Just those mere words saved her. The stiff posture he had combine with his soft eyes send her choice away. And her heart swell with happiness.

"Protect me?"

She had to ask it. Even in the night she knew that her eyes could show what she was feeling. She knew that boy in front of her got the message. A small graced his lips.

"Yes, I will protect you from the thing you are afraid. I will be the one to stand by you."

Then she began turning around. Wanting to expose all of herself to him. To look him in the eyes but the un-expected happened. She lost her momentum. Tripping with her own foot she staggered backwards falling to the deep angry ocean.

"No!" she heard him scream and smile with her eyes closed. She thought that fate was against her living but she couldn't be more wrong.

She awaited her death, into the freezing cold water of the ocean. Water that she didn't want to touch in all her life.

Well I didn't know what happened in this chapter. It was very much suicidal but I couldn't find a way for Nico to get closer to Scarlet or vice versa. And also there is a reason why Nico was able to see Scarlets trying to jump from the cliff. That is to be explain in the next chapter. This is a chaos story but with a different intake. I hope you stay with me until the end of the story.

Thanks for reading this chapter see you next chapter.
