It was five minutes to midnight, and Nico Di Angelo stood in line. He finally made it to the bouncer, showing him a fake I.D. He's always had a fake I.D, he's even used it on several occasions, but never once had he imagined he'd use it to get into Club Crave, the most popular gay bar in Manhattan. The bouncer looked at Nico's I.D and nodded, waving him inside the club. When he got inside, it was dimly lit- the only light coming from black lights, and the music was loud. He saw nothing but guys, well what else was to be expected? He walked through, pushing guys aside. He went to the bar. He had two minutes before his clue would be here, then he'd have to look all around for it.

He ordered a drink, a coke, not wanting any alcohol. He turned away to survey the crowd, see if he recognized anyone, and his eyes fell on a boy. A young boy, he must have been Nico's age, if not younger. The boy was staring at Nico, intently. His hair, sandy blonde, cascaded down, almost covering his blue eyes. Nico was seeing Reed. The boy walked closer to Nico, and realized he was wrong. This boy looked like Reed, but he didn't have the same charm Reed did. No one had the same charm Reed had. The boy stops in front of Nico and he realizes the boy may be his age, seventeen.

"Hey, I'm Asher. Asher Ambrose Cunningham. Of course, Ambrose is my original last name. I have no real middle name." The boy says, too formally, too elegantly.

"Why don't you have a middle name?" Nico asks, confused.

"Because, demigod, I was born in the early fifteen-hundreds." Asher replied, with a wink.

Asher had led the shocked Nico to an abandoned supply room. The inside was small, cluttered with brooms, mops, buckets and cleaning supplies. Asher shut the door behind them, and Nico tripped over what he guessed was a wet floor sign in the dark. He struggled to not fall, and to regain his composure. After a moment, he stood straight, tensed.

"How did you know?" Nico asked, not bothering to hide the distrust in his voice.

It was dark, but he could tell that Asher had shrugged.

"I've been alive since the fifteen hundreds, I'm wise." Asher had replied, in a matter-of-fact way.

Nico wanted to punch him.

"How? You're only seventeen."

"Yes and no. I stopped my aging process at seventeen. Wait. I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's sit." They both sat down, Nico across form him, "It started out in the year 1524, I was born. My father was a mortal, one who loved to party. My older siblings, Sara and William- much like my younger ones, Lily and Johnathan, were all completely normal, as well. Well, not completely- but that's late in the story. Well, I was nowhere near normal. I could never be normal. When I was around eight, and William was twelve, Sara nine, Johnathan six and Lily three, I began seeing monsters everywhere. I was deeply troubled by it and everyone thought I was crazy, everyone except for Lily. Lily said she'd seen them, too. I never believed her. I thought she was either trying to make me feel better, or she didn't know what I was talking about.

When I was ten, William fourteen, Sara eleven, Johnathan eight and Lily five, I found out that I could do these amazing things, like a witch could. In America, they didn't believe in witches until the 1600's. In my location in Europe, it'd began a few years before I was ever born. They were still killing witches at the time, so I had to keep quiet. I kept practicing, getting better. Then, when I was twelve, William sixteen, Sara thirteen, Johnathan ten and Lily seven, my brother, William had found out of my magic. He wanted me to teach him and I tried, but he couldn't do it. He'd said I was selfish, that I hadn't wanted to teach him. That's when he told me he was going to tell our father, and tell him to have me reported. Father would have, he'd never liked me. But I had leverage on that bastard of a brother of mine.

Around that time, days before this happened, I'd found out of his and Sara's sickening, incestuous 'love' affair. She was, how do I put this- pleasuring my brother every night after we'd all gone to sleep. Turns out, she'd been doing this for a year, oral sex for him. Until the night I'd found out, they'd never done anything else. Our father had gone away, he was to speak to the king. Johnathan and Lily had gone to our aunts, I had went, too, but I wanted to go back home. I came home that night, late, and heard noises in William's room, it was Sara screaming in pain and Johnathan grunting. I was a young boy, I'd never known what sex was, so I figured they were in trouble. I ran to Williams room, and just before I opened it, everything calmed down, I listened a little more. Sara wasn't screaming out of pain any more, she was moaning, quietly. I'd listened to them speak.

'William, I thought were doing more than this tonight." I heard Sara breathe, heavily, moaning. My brother spoke. 'We are, sister, but I must do this first.' then silence. Then more moaning from Sara. Suddenly she screamed again, but I was frozen in place. They were screams of pain that quickly turned into screams of pleasure. I then knew what I was hearing. The night my brother threatened me, I threatened him. He hadn't told anything, and neither had I. For a whole year, we acted as though nothing happened. Then, when I was thirteen and William was seventeen, Lily fourteen- and pregnant, by the way, Johnathan eleven and Lily eight, a woman showed up at our house.

She'd told me my mother, and everyone was excited. They believed she was theirs, too. But she wasn't- only mine. And Lily's. The woman, with dark colored hair and light colored eyes had reminded me of Lily. Of course I'd had light eyes, like both of them, but I was the only fair haired child. William, the father of Sara's child, had said we need time with our mother. He took Sara and Johnathan outside and into the fields. My mother told me who she was, she was the goddess Hecate, and she explained that Lily and I were demigods, magical ones. She explained that Lily wasn't my sister, at all, though. She said she had her blood, but not a lot. She could still see through the mist and the monsters could see her, but she had no powers.

She wasn't even the daughter of my father, but I still had to get her away, according to Hecate. I told her I would, that night. I then heard screaming. We ran outside to find William dead, standing over Sara and Johnathan, protecting them from the king's knight. Johnathan had told our father about my powers, right after he'd told him he impregnated Sara. Now, I had to worry about my older sister and younger brother, as well as Lily. The knight had come for me, but my mother killed him and told us to pack our clothing and run away, now. We had. We traveled, night and day, me leading them into the forest. After months of being alone, living on the animals we'd killed and the fruit we'd picked, Sara had given birth to a girl.

We all got to decide on the name, deciding on Ellie. Ellie was dark haired, like both Sara and William had been, with light colored eyes. After two years, I was finally fifteen. Sara was sixteen, Johnathan was thirteen, Lily was ten, Ellie was two and William was still dead. We'd needed more berries so Sara and I went to find some. In the woods, away from our siblings and her daughter, she pushed me against a tree and kissed me. She was my sister, I told myself. Why was I kissing her back? I was confused. She'd touched me and brought me to life. I couldn't stop myself, I wanted her because she'd made me want her. She'd seduced me, and I wanted her.

She'd given me oral, but I didn't have sex with her. I couldn't. I felt dirty enough. It wasn't even that she was my sister- back then, family was just a word- but it was the fact that William loved her, William died for her. She had given birth to William's daughter. I left her alone in the woods. I hadn't meant to, I thought she was following me. She died that night. She hadn't come back to the abandoned house we'd been living in, and it was a cold night. We found her, frozen to death. We buried the body by the house, like we had with William. I'd asked mother to bring his body long before that night, which is why he was there. Anyways, it was only Johnathan, Lily, Ellie and me.

The next year, when I was seventeen, Johnathan was fourteen, Lily was was eleven and Ellie was three. Johnathan had run away that year. That was also when I stopped my aging process- to be young forever. I'd also made myself immortal on accident. Years passed and Johnathan had never come back. I believe he was dead. Lily was now sixteen, Ellie was was eight. Lily had begged me to make her ageless and immortal, and I did. It worked perfectly. Year passed and then Ellie was sixteen, wanting to be ageless and immortal as well. I couldn't bare to lose her, too, so I obliged. Lily and Ellie was young girls, they'd never knew what love was like. They'd never even had first kisses.

One night, after coming home for gathering berries, I found them in my room, naked. They were touching each other. Their tongues on each others private places- everywhere. I'd gasped in amazement and horror. I hadn't even noticed that seeing them had aroused me. Lily had come over to me. She kissed my neck, and put her hands to my place. She'd begin stroking me. It was amazing. Ellie had come to me as well. Lily moved out of the way for a moment and Ellie kissed me, her hands rubbing at my bare chest. I'd picked her up, and Lily undressed my lower half, giving me oral as I kissed Ellie. I pulled away from Ellie and and Lily, then went to the bed and lay Ellie down.

I let Lily lay beside her. I moved to Lily and began having sex with her, while I kept Ellie busy with my fingers. Then when They'd both- um reached satisfaction points, I switched. They'd pleasured me every night after that, but neither ever got pregnant, to this day, they still pleasure-"

"I don't want to hear about your sex life." Nico interrupted, irritably.

"Yeah, well this is the only way you get your clue. I'm almost done, now shut up."

Nico shut up.

"Thank you." Asher said, "Now, as I was saying. We moved to America, we live in the woods and they have your clue. But you can only get it by going to the house in the woods, instructions on this map, here you go," He handed Nico a piece of paper that he couldn't see in the dark, "And they will both have a favor for you. Then you get the location of your friends and weapons- but you will have to battle the thieves."

"Thieves? As in two?" Nico asked, shocked.

"As in three. I am not one, but one is my brother. You can wait until you have all of your friends with you. You have two weeks before they die. Be safe, kid."

And Nico was alone in the storage room, gripping the piece of paper.
