Nico POV
The plan in my mind was fairly simple, bring Annabeth, talk to the other's about what's happening, slap both Jason and Percy hard, have only Katniss and Peeta standing, then leave the Hunger Games, and never talk about it ever again.
It seemed fairly simple, but to be honest I had a feeling Annabeth was thinking of a more complicated plan that will probably result in someone meaning bait for Cato or Thresh. And when I say someone I mean me since she thinks I'm the fastest of everyone at Camp Half Blood, which is probably true but she says it like it's a gift or something.
The shadows were coming at an end, signaling that we were almost in the arena. During the past years Shadow Traveling started taking less of my energy, my dad said I was getting used to it and it meant I was starting to gain more power and energy.
The shadows soon go away and I face the small area I last was, but instead of Percy, Jason, Katniss, Thalia, and Peeta sitting on logs sitting in silence going nothing but awkwardly stare at each other. I see Thalia standing up with her bow and arrow, ready to shoot anything in her way. As for Jason, Percy, Katniss, and Peeta they weren't anywhere to be seen. Did Cato or Thresh find them? Nico how long where you gone? I couldn't be more than a couple hours, right?
"Thalia what's going on?" I say, making Thalia face towards me. Her face blanks completely, she drops her bow "Nico where have you been? The last time I saw you, you were banging your head against and tree and cursing about how stupid Percy and Jason are. Also, Annie why are you here?"
Before I could answer Annabeth spoke " Nico came to Camp Half Blood so he can talk to Chiron or me about how the quest was going. As Nico was telling the story about what was happening during the quest I decided to step in and help" She finishes, smiling brightly.
Thalia sighs "I'm happy you're here, but you have to promise not to do anything with Percy while were stuck here, my extreme hugging, no holding hands, no laughing together, no finishing each others sentences, no kissing, no sleeping close by each other, no going into the woods alone with each other, no staring at each other, no playing footies, no treating him differently." Annabeth sniffles a giggle and Thalia getting angry "I mean it! It's for the good of this quest, Katniss and Peeta are already on to us, we don't need them seeing you as a hopelessly in love weirdo who gets scared by spiders, they'll just think your weak."
Annabeth huffs, "Thalia where are the others, I haven't seen them" I say, dulling the silence.
"They were looking for you, but since it's almost dawn they'll be here shortly, so Nico, Annabeth what do you think we should do with they ask question's who we really are?"
I laugh at her seriousness, Annabeth and Thalia both glare at me "You guy's act life were monsters or some un human creature, were demigods. Let's just lay down the law and explain that were just here to protect them, nothing more nothing less."
"Maybe" Annabeth says, pursing her lips and crossing her arms. She sits down on a log right next to Thalia and then looks into the sky, like she always did when she was thinking of some kind of solution.
The cold breeze of the arena was slowing turning hotter and hotter signaling the sun was about to rise. Shadows soon disappeared when the sun was finally rising.
"Thalia! Couldn't find Nico, let's hope his ok!" I hear Percy scream, and more I knew it I had a 150-pound Percy Jackson run up to me and hug me.
The squeezed me tightly and I had nothing else to do but bite his shoulder so he could get the hell of me. But it worked "Nico where were you, I was worried—and why are you here Annabeth?" Percy says, finally noticing she was sitting down on a log with Thalia.
Annabeth looked at Percy in the most annoyed look she can think of "I'm here to slap you, Seaweed Brain. Don't be an idiot, Nico told me what you've been doing and I can't believe you actually did something this stupid"
Percy looked at her in shock " Annnnie I sorry but I need to"
Annabeth stood up and came 2 inches away from Percy and leans in to kiss him, but instead slaps him square in the face, surprising the hell out of Percy.
Percy winces, clutching his cheek "What was that for?"
"For being an idiot, also we can't do anything that says were together, actually I decided that I'm going to pretend to like Nico-"
"WHAT! No WAY I do not want to be forced to pretend to have feelings for you, I mean look at you," I say, motioning towards her body.
Annabeth laughs, putting her arm around my shoulders "It's just for pretend plus, it'll make Percy super mad, this will be your play back, for Percy being a total idiot"
I think about it. Pretending to like Annabeth, seeing Percy glare and huff at both Annabeth and me in jealousy, that would be worth a lifetime of slaps.
"Fine"
"You know this isn't fair, then I'll pretend to like Thalia" Percy says, going over to Thalia, for her to only swat him away and glare at him.
"First of all I'm a huntress, second of all Katniss and Peeta already know that I think of you as the little annoying brother I've never had"
"You have Jason"
"Wasn't as annoying as you and di Angelo, remember Mr. MytoMagic telling 'the wine dude' about all is power points, that were like 100-"
"500 points"
"Whatever, and don't me even start with you Percy, remember that time when we were stuck in your mom's house and she was telling us every single of your childhood stories"
"Thalia, stop"
"Only because I have to, Jason's coming with Katniss and Peeta, that's when we have to tell them everything, no mater who had a plan on lying our way threw this. We don't want another 'were superheroes'."
"When you actually think about it, we can totally be superheroes"
i haven't really updated in a while, which is stupid because i already know what's going to happen, since I have somekind of storyboard but this will make the story go on longer.
