Disclaimer:

I do not own the PJO characters. We are so sorry we took so long to edit the first 50 chapters but we didn't realize you had to do so much just to get one chapter reposted. But we're back and ready to give you even more Cursed chapters.

"I just don't know what to do," I exclaimed with a sigh.

"And why are you coming to me about this?" He asked.

"Because, Nico, you're my cousin and probably one of the most level headed people here." I said as I looked over at the other side of the arena to where Damian was training some younger kids.

"But why couldn't you have gone to the Stoll's about this?" Nico said.

"Because my brothers aren't really a fan of Damian right now." I explained.

"Well I would love to keep talking about your love life," Nico said sarcastically," but it's almost lunch time."

"Wow, the sun of Hades willingly wanting to eat lunch," I teased.

Nico just stuck his tongue out at me as he went to get up. "Wait," I said, "I have one more question. In the books it says that you were served by, uh, I forget what they're called, but you were severed weren't you? Why is that different now?"

"That's a question for your brothers," Nico said as he walked away, I watched him until he was out of sight.

"So, what were you two talking about?"

I turned and saw Damian, sword propped up against his shoulder and his helmet under one arm.

"Just talking about lunch," I lied.

"Speaking of lunch, do you know what we're having?"

"Nope."

"Well we better go find out," Damian smiled. He helped me up and we walked out of the arena with Damian's arm draped across my shoulders, like usual.

As we were walking to the pavilion, I couldn't help but grin at the sight of people pointing at bright yellow smiley faces all around camp.

"Hey sis!" The Stoll's screamed at me from the pavilion. A smile played across my face as we walked closer to them, but it quickly faded when my least favorite person stepped in front of me.

"Hello Jazmin," I said, trying to get around her.

She blocked my path. "Hey, let her pass," Damian said.

"Ah, the boyfriend, now isn't that sweet," I growled at that comment which made Jazmin smile even more, "now, for what I'm really here for. I know you and those two, wanna-be brothers of yours did this, it's obvious. I'm not stupid."

"Well apparently you are because we didn't do this."

Jazmin glared at me, she probably meant to scare me but it wasn't working. "You're dead Sutton, I'm going to make your life Hades." she threatened.

"Too late, it already is," I said, sticking my tongue out at her. She huffed at me, then turned around quickly so her hair flipped over her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Damian asked.

"I'm fine, I've dealt with Jazmin before, I can do it again."

We got to the pavilion and discovered that we were having hamburgers for lunch. "So," I said as I sat next to Travis and Connor, food in hand, "Today I asked Nico why in the books, you were served your food and why it was different now. You two have anything to add to that?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at them as they looked back and forth from each other and me.

"Well, you see um," Connor started.

"Connor, it was Connor!" Travis blurted out and pointed at his brother as if they were little kids and had just stolen his toy.

"Hey, you didn't have to help," Connor said, crossing his arms.

"But it was your idea."

"Wait, I'm missing something. What happened?"

"Connor pranked the drydras, they quit, so now we have to make our own food," Travis pouted.

"Is it really going to hurt you to make your own food?" I asked.

"Yes?" they both asked.

"No, it won't, now eat."

After we had eaten, Chiron announced that the Capture the flag game that had been postponed when people found out I couldn't play, was on tonight. After that, I found Coral, more like Coral found me.

"Hey," I said as I picked her up, "How is your day going so far?"

"Good," she responded.

"And why is that?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Just because," she repeated as she stared up into the cloud filled sky.

"So, what are you going to do today?" Damian asked.

"What do you mean?" I responded.

"I mean, you have the day off don't you?"

"Um, I don't know, I never really had a 'schedule' per say. Ever since I got here, it's been one attack after another, then one quest after another. It was crazy."

"So you haven't had a break in five years?" he asked.

"Nope. Well there were a few times when I would get caught up in something that didn't involve fighting for my life. Like when I went to look at the stars and Nico found us, then Will found Nico, and then we ended up going to McDonalds. That was fun." I smiled at that memory.

"Well how about we do something that doesn't involve you fighting your life?"

"Like what," I smiled.

Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoyed. AN: I was thinking of starting a discord because I can't seem to figure out how to correctly PM people and I want to make sure that you guys can ask me questions, or if you have any thoughts, I want to make sure I get them and are able to respond. Stay safe!
