Waiting was a harder task than I thought it would be. Eventually, I became impatient with my father. Did it take this long to guess that Luke was the one who escaped from the Underworld? At first, I considered just Iris Messaging them or going to the Underworld to tell him myself. Annabeth quickly talked me out of it, reminding me I was a halfblood and he was a god. In the short version, it means you mess with Hades you die Nico, doesn't matter if he's your dad.
So I decided to just continue to confront Luke instead. He made a good job of avoiding me though. When Luke didn't, he did everything possible to make me look like an ass. The camp was already scared of me, and with the rumors he spread it didn't help. I caught onto something about killing someone. I stopped listening after that.
Annabeth decided to play dumb, seeing how Luke thought she was still in the dark. So, Athena's daughter acted stupid, for once, and tried to get into the enemy. So, the girl became friends with "Lucas" and found out his secrets. She did whatever she could to make him stumble. She asked about his past, which he didn't have answers to, and if he thought he was a Hermes kid, touchy subject.
Annabeth Chase was literally a genius.
Percy Jackson not so much. There isn't much to say about him besides that he didn't realize any of this was happening around him. So, Percy was being Percy basically.
Thalia was the person I was really worried about. I don't know what kind of emotional connection she had with Luke before he died but it was obviously strong, in both negative and positive ways. She hates what he did, but easily forgives him because of the positive emotions she feels for him. The emotions I refuse to name.
All I know that if Thalia is too emotionally connected to Luke, my father won't waist a second sending them both to Tartarus. Which, in the end, would mean another war. Only this one between the gods themselves. As much as I hate to admit it, I couldn't fight beside my father. If he damns my cousin's soul, I will not fight with him.
Let's hope it doesn't get that far.
