Percy's P.O.V

I should've warned him.

We all knew that Nik was evil. When she was mad; she was mad (as in crazy).

'Death wish.' I said, like an idiot. I also wanted to see where this was going.

'Rule number four; no changesies.' She said. 'Is that okay with everyone else?'

'Kind of.' Alice said.

'As long as Will's my boyfriend; Nicola Wonder Woman, what are you planing?' Nico asked.

Nik stretched her neck; which, combined with her flattop, made her look more like a crook than ever. 'Percy Jackson, I dare you to kiss the person wearing the most black clothes in this room on the lips.'

I didn't notice when I put my hands on my head. 'You're not serious.'

'I am Wonder Woman.' Nik said. 'I want revenge.'

'That's Maleficent.' I said.

'Have you sorted out your will?'

I gulped. 'Yeah.'

Nico seemed to have finally gotten it. 'You're kidding.'

'Happy birthday, happy birthday.' Nik said with her murderous smile. 'Happy birthday to— me.'

'Is there any way he can get out of this?' Nico asked.

'Unless he wants to get beat up by the Styx,' Nik said.

Styx was starting to sound fun.

We got to the middle of the makeshift circle.

'Good news; you missed two sentences.' Nik said.

'Whatever.' Nico said.

'That's three.' Nik added.

'Fottiti.'

Chiara Benvinuti looked shocked.

And we kissed.

I wonder how Will stood it. He tasted like death and pomegranates; and a teensy bit of infirmary gum.

'Hip hip hip—'

'Hurrah!' Cecil completed.

'Cece,' Nik said. 'I'm so satisfied; I release you from my service.'

'OMG; thanks.' Cecil said.

I got an idea worthy of Athena, (or Nemesis, considering how vengeful I was.) 'Cecil Markowitz; death wish or death wish?'

Nik's P.O.V

'Death wish.' Cecil said.

'I dare you to kiss your sister and slap her really, really hard.' Percy said, his green eyes even greener.

I stared Cece in the eyes.

Kiss me, I warned. And you'll be dead.

I noticed I had that power; telepathy. Or maybe it was because of my new found crook look.

But Cecil kissed Julia Feingold on the cheek and slapped her really hard.

'Cecil?' Perce complained.

'You didn't say which sister.' Cecil said.

'You knew which sister I was talking about.' Percy said.

'That's not my sister.' Cecil said. 'That's my brother.'

'Nice.' I put my hand up for a high-five.

'Wonder Woman.' Cecil said. 'I dare you to wear Travis' clothes.'

'Still with your present underwear over them.' Jason said.

'Kay.' I said.

I went to Travis' suitcase and pulled out a shirt and jeans.

Nico and Perce looked kinda pissed.

'What?' I asked. 'He said Travis' clothes. He didn't say "the ones Travis is wearing now".'

Finding loopholes; another superpower.

I went into the bathroom and put on the clothes.

'You look like a dude.' Travis said.

'Yo, Pipes.' I said. 'Truth or death wish?'

'I tell only the truth.' Pipes said.

'Was it me or did you sneak out past curfew last night?' I asked.

'Death wish.' Piper said.

'Ah, ah, ah.' I said. 'No changesies.'

'Please?' Piper begged.

I didn't know if it was her charmspeak, but I agreed.

'I dare you to talk like a stereotypical teen for thirty minutes.' I said. 'Likes, high-pitched voice, everything.'

'Um, like, okay.' Piper said. 'Um, like; Anna?'

'Truth.' Annabeth said.

'Like, has anyone, like, called you, like, a dumb blonde before?' Piper asked.

'Yeah.' Annabeth said. 'A lot.'

'No fair.' I complained. 'You took my question.'

'Nik being one of them.' Annabeth lied.

Next we heard a crash at the door.

I squinted. 'Clovis?'

The bull was still sleeping.

Annabeth marched to the door. 'Wake up.'

Clo stepped on her foot. 'Commander Clovis reporting for duty!'

We all laughed.

'Why are you here?' I asked.

'I was bored.' Clovis said.

'Bored of sleeping?' Connor asked.

'What's going on here?'

'Truth or death wish.' Nico said. 'I'm taking your pillow when you die.'

'I'm gonna die?' Clovis said, as awake as I've never seen him.

'Yes.' Nico said. 'Nik's the murderer.'

'Clovis; Truth or death wish?' Annabeth asked.

'You mean dare.' Clovis said, already nodding off.

Jason snapped his fingers under Clo's nose.

'Is that your choice?' Annabeth asked.

'Yeah.' Clovis said. 'I don't have any secrets.'

'I dare you to do the impossible.' Annabeth said. 'Stay awake for five minutes.'

Jason woke Clo again.

I raised my hands. 'Blondie, I said no killing. Sleep runs in his veins. Take that away from him and you'd kill him.'

Annabeth's smile was only a fourth as evil as mine. 'Why are you so concerned? Is it that the mistress of evil is nice?'

'Or, does she, like, have, like, a, like a soft spot for him?' Piper asked.

'The killer of men has a soft spot for someone?' Nico asked.

'Five sentences, di Angelo.' I said.

Will kissed Nico.

'Doesn't count, Sunny.' I said. 'He has to kiss you.'

'As long as Will's my boyfriend; answer the question, Androphonos.' Nico said.

'Hey!'

Clovis was just full of surprises that day.

'Nik; Truth or death wish?' He asked.

'Of course; death wish.' I replied.

'Sleep. Now.'

I blinked. 'I can't sleep. I'm ranked one of the most ADHD demigods in this—'

The last thing I remember was Nico pointing at me.
