NICO POV

We landed in New Rome just in time for dinner, good, since I was starving. Annabeth and Rhys not so much. They both ran to sink in the dining area and started wretching. I sighed and went to find Reyna. She was in her office and jumped when I shadow traveled in there.

"Hi Ra-Ra" I said with a smirk.

"Shut up Nicolo," she shot back. She got up from the large wooden desk and came over to hug me. I ducked through her arms and went over to her mechanical dogs. Aurum and Argentum wagged their metal tails and sat at my feet.

"So what's up, Nico," Reyna asked.

"We've been getting a lot of new campers and the ones we got a couple days ago said there was a rebellion of demigods that were going to destroy the camps. We came to tell you, and Annabeth wanted to see Hazel, Frank, and you. And so did I." I said.

"Well, good that your here because I was actually going to send for some of you CHB people. There's been weird people around the camp, and we've been getting a lot of new campers that all seem to know each other." Reyna said.

"Okay, well, Annabeth, Rys and I are all tired, them sick, so can we get a spot in the barracks?" I ask.

"Yeah, of course. Let me go ask Frank which spots are open." Reyna told me. She stood up and went to go find Frank, while I went to go get the other two I had traveled here with.

All of a sudden, there was an ear shattering crash as the ground rumbled, throwing everyone off their feet. I looked up and there was a giant boulder coming at me. I shadow-traveled into one of the barracks. In there, there were campers fighting campers and a hellhound coming straight at me. I'm a child of the underworld, they're supposed to like me! I raised my sword and slashed at in just as it went to bite my head off. I cut its front right leg and then it reached out and slashed me across the shoulder. I heard a familiar voice yell my name and then everything went black.

ELIZA'S POV

All of a sudden, people started swarming into camp from all sides. We were all at the dining hall and so we were surrounded. The sea of people surrounding us was only about two people deep, so not that bad, but we were still under attack. A screech sounded from the air and I looked up to see Festus dropping a big net on some of the attackers. Leo was riding on his back, and he muttered something to the mechanical dragon. The people were lifted up in the net and Festus and Leo hung them in a tree. Weird, but okay.

Some of the Hecate kids were throwing balls of exploding magic to paralyze some of the invaders and some of the Demeter kids were growing vines around their arms and feet. Pretty soon, we had all of them but a couple that had ran, tied up or in a place they couldn't escape.

"Who's the leader?" Percy asks. I can tell he's trying to sound authoritative, but I can tell he is more than a little rattled. All of the people they'd captured looked to one girl. The girl looked to be about 15 and had long, straight, blonde hair that went down to her lower back. She had a scar over her right eyebrow and another one on her left arm. Her arms were covered in freckles and they also dotted the pale skin of her nose and cheeks.

"Me," the girl said, stepping forward nonchalantly. "I'm Amora and these camps are an abomination to the gods. They don't care about their children so why have camps that make us remember them every single waking minute of the day?"she spat out.

"Well, you insignificant bum, we have captured you and so now you all can either join the camps or leave us alone." Teresa said, taking the lead.

"Teresa," came a stone cold voice from behind me. Libbia, head counselor of the hecate cabin stepped forward, her one purple eyes gleaming from behind the wisps of hair that had come out of her ponytail. "People should choose of their own free will, we just got to show them why we are the better place to be." Teresa looked down.

"Of course," she said. Libbia stalked away her long black ponytail swinging on her back.

"Round them up!" Percy yelled. "But be gentle. We are going to bring them to the dining pavilion. I would like many of you to share a bit on why you love camp, and keep coming here year after year. Let's say we meet back in- lets say- 20 minutes. Got it?" Everyone nodded. Percy nodded back, and the crowd dispersed.

CAT'S POV

I walked over to the dining pavilion, trying to compose what I wanted to stay so that the intruders would want to stay.

"I came here a little bit ago..." I muttered to myself.

"Hey Cat!" Eliza says running up behind me. She kisses my cheek and I kiss her.

"What are you going to say to the captives?" she asked.

"I don't know yet." I say, "what are you going to say?"

"I'm not sure either, but I'll probably tell them about my… situation... and how supportive and helpful everyone here was."

"That's good. I think a lot of them will stay." I kiss her cheek and hugged her, tucking my head into her neck.

"Your speech will be great too Cat." She kisses my head. "I love yo-"Eliza suddenly jerked straight upright, turned, and bolted.

ELIZA"S POV

All of a sudden, I felt a pulse at the back of my head. It rang out to me that Nico was in trouble. My eyes widened as I saw images of the situation at camp Jupiter. The images dissolved away just as I saw my brother on the ground soaked in blood.

I leaped from Cat's arms.

"Liza! Are you ok?" Cat cries. I nod frantically at her before turning and sprinting away.

"Will! WILL WHERE ARE YOU!?" I yelled, trying to get the son of Apollo's attention. He looked up from where he was bandaging up his sister's arm and raised his eyebrows.

"I-I saw a vision of Nico, he's seriously hurt, Will," I said. His expression fell and he grabbed my hand.

"C'mon let's go," he demanded. I'd never seen him like this. Usually he was all laid back but right now I could see that he wanted to save my brothers life. I don't think either of us could live without Nico.

CAT'S POV

I watched Eliza and Will poof into the shadows and vanish. I continued walking to the dining pavilion and mumbling to myself about intruders and dying and random stuff like soup. Soup is weird. It's like warm chunky juice. But I can eat soup with a spoon but I can eat juice with a spoon. Weird. Ahhhh! dumb ADHD. Now I want soup. Hahaaa I'm off topic. I was almost to the dining hall when someone poofed out of nowhere. I swear they weren't there before. Oh wow that's two people not one. Or an I seeing things again. Oh my gods my braiiin. They looked a lot a like. Maybe I was seeing double again? No that couldn't be possible because they're hair was completely different.

"Uhhhhmmmm… uh h-hi," I said with a little wave.

"Hey, we're some of your captives but we want to be a part of camp if you'd let us. Amora can be a bitch sometimes. Thinks she's all that. Gods damn her," the boy said.

The girl stepped forward and started talking. "I'm Lily Fantasa and this is my brother Liam."

"Ferns. Okay. New people. I'm Cat. Heh heh heh."

"Um, ferns?" Liam asks.

" I use plants instead of swears. Fern as fuck, birch tree as bitch dandelion as damn. There's lots of variety."

"Ooohhhhhkay." Liam said.

" well you guys can come on over to the dining pavilion for the orientation now," I say, hoping the nervousness isn't obvious in my voice.

"Hey, uh, cat is it?" I nod. "You single cuz your pretty cute," Liam says.

"Uh no. I'm not single and you can fern off." I say.

"Are you sure? Because I think we'd make a great couple."

"NO. You're like what, 2 years older than me? Ew."

"Oh, come on baby, don't you like what you see?"

"No"

"Baby, please? We can have some… fun.." he says raising his eyebrows and smirking.

I stop in my tracks and turn around to face the siblings. Lily was smirking. "I'm GAY you IGNORANT BIRCH TREE!" I yell. Then I turn around and keep walking.
