Okay, here is chapter 2. Sorry that it's a little shorter. Also, there is some slight Nico and Will that many be a little shitty. Anyway, enjoy.

Nicole's POV

Nicole woke up in what appeared to be a hospital.

Nicole was in a hospital bed with white sheets and pillows surrounded by a drawn curtain. She looked down at her clothes; a black shirt over a purple long-sleeve and black leggings. They were dirty and had a few tears in them, but Nicole didn't care; she preferred older clothes anyway. She pulled back the sleeve on her arm and gasped; the gash was gone. She moved the arm up and down: the bones seemed fully mended. Nicole didn't know how that was possible but after what she had seen today, she decided not to question it.

Nicole looked up and her jaw dropped but soon that turned into a smirk. They both looked about fifteen. In front of her were two boys. They both looked about fifteen and they were both asleep. One of them had blonde hair, tan skin and was wearing hospital scrubs and was sitting in the chair in front of Nicole. The other one was slightly paler, with black hair. He was wearing a dark grey shirt and black skinny jeans and sitting in the blonde boy's lap fast asleep.

Nicole let out a chuckle before saying, "Hey."

The two boys slowly woke and stared at Nicole with wide eyes.

"Huh, moments like these are as funny in real life", Nicole said with a grin.

The black-haired boy awkwardly got off the blonde boy and rubbed the back of his neck.

Nicole swung her legs over the side of the bed. "So, what happened while I was out and where are Percy and Grover?"

The blond boy spoke up. "Well, um, Percy took you here, to the infirmary and he went back into the city with his mom. Grover went back to his girlfriend, Juniper."

Nicole nodded. "Who are you two then?"

The blonde boy cleared his throat before answering. "I'm Will Solace, son of Apollo and this….", he said pointing towards the black-haired boy. "….is my boyfriend."

"Nico di Angelo, son of Hades", the black-haired boy finished.

If Nicole remembered correctly, Apollo was the god of the sun and Hades was the god of the underworld. Kind of funny that Will and Nico were dating then.

"Also, before I passed out, there was this symbol over my head, an owl on an olive branch. What was that?", Nicole asked.

"That was a sign from your mom. She's Athena, goddess of wisdom, crafts, and battle strategy", Nico explained.

Nicole moved her foot inside her shoe: she couldn't feel her swiss army knife in there. "Where's my knife?"

"Oh, I put it in your backpack", Will answered.

Nicole grabbed her backpack, zipped it open and rummaged through it until she found her knife. She pulled the blade out and examined it: the tip of it was covered in blood from the empousa she had stabbed. She sealed the knife and put it in her shoe.

The daughter of Athena looked back up at Nico and Will. "So, are you going to show me around Camp Half-Blood or something?"

Nico raised an eyebrow. "You're not at all surprised by this?"

"Percy gave me the whole 'demigod speech' on the way here", Nicole clarified.

"Well, it's too late to give you a tour of camp. So, you can sleep here tonight, and we can show you around camp and to your cabin in the morning", Will said.

Nicole nodded and reached into her backpack again and pulled out her purple cell phone. Nico and Will's eyes widened at the device.

Nicole gave them a weird look. "What?"

"You have a phone?", Nico asked.

"Yeah… Why?"

"Well, cell phones tend to attract monsters", Will explicated. "But I could take it to the Hephaestus cabin. They've been working on this 'anti-monster' software."

"I'll do it", Nico volunteered.

Nicole handed the son of Hades her cell phone and Nico walked out, closing the curtain behind him.

Will got up from the chair and sat on the bed next to Nicole.

"So where did you get that knife", he said, gesturing towards the weapon peeking out of her sneaker.

"I got it from this thrift store when I was eleven. I knew what foster homes could be like so I figured I should be prepared."

The son of Apollo nodded. "So, how are you really handling this whole thing?"

Nicole shrugged. "Fine, I guess. I mean, I'm still having a hard time believing that Greek mythology is real, but it's kind of nice to know that I actually have family. I didn't really know my dad because he was working all the time and those foster families never really tried."

Will nodded. "I can understand that; my mom is a country singer in Texas so when I was with her, she never had time for me."

"So how long have you and Nico been together?"

"About four months."

"You two seem really great together."

Will smiled. "Yeah we really are."

At that moment Nico walked back in. "Here's your phone." The son of Hades handed her the device and Nicole gratefully took it.

"I trust that the Hephaestus cabin didn't rig it to explode?", Will asked.

Nico smirked. "Don't worry I didn't let Harley handle it."

Will got up from Nicole's bed and took Nico's hand in his. He turned back to Nicole. "Goodnight". Then the two them headed out the door holding hands.

A smile crept across Nicole's face before turning her attention back to her phone. Nicole usually didn't like romance much, but Nico and Will were a really cute couple.

Nicole got her earbuds out her backpack, plugged them into her phone and started listening to music successfully drowning out the rest of her thoughts.
