Chapter Thirteen

Arya POV

Arya poked her head round the corner, checking to see if they were out of sight yet, they were. She breathed a sigh of relief and followed after them, trying her hardest to be silent. The Americans and Jay walked up to a wall and Nico started pacing in front of it until a door opened, the room of requirement. They opened the door and walked in. I cast a quick invisibility charm on myself and ran forward as fast as I could, I slipped through the door without being noticed and stared in amazement at the room around me. It was large and there was a door with a shower sign on it. There was a small table beside it with plates of food and cups full of some drink. There were more larger tables on the other wall, with weapons and armour arranged neatly on them, the ground was grass, and the other student seemed to be kitting up in the equipment. Nico had black armour and a black sword and a belt of silver and black knifes. Jay had bronze armour,a bronze sword, and a belt of silver knifes. Will had Bronze armour, a bow and a quiver full of arrows. Thalia had a silver bow and silver armour, she also had a silver dagger attached to a belt. Reyna had golden armour and a golden sword, she had two daggers, a bronze one and a silver one. Reyna, Thalia and Will were fighting in one of the dips in the ground, while Nico and Jay were in another. The two boys were slashing at each other with their swords and dodging the incoming knifes being thrown by each other, they occasionally got hit, and it was obvious that Nico was going easy on Jay, but Jay was definitely a good fighter. She turned he attention to the others, Will shooting at Thalia while Reyna attacked him and Thalia attacked Reyna. It was awesome! But she new they would most likely attack her if they found her here, she had to get out. She couldn't go back through the door because I was invisible, so what could I do? I couldn't think of anything. Crap. Only one thing for it then, I had to hope they didn't catch me.

I crept over to the weapons table and selected a small bronze dagger with a sun etched onto the hilt. There was an amber gem at the centre of it and it seemed to let of a glow or light. I grinned and slipped it into my pocket. Then ran to the door and threw it open.

Someone shouted, "Who''s that?!"

While someone else shouted, "Stop them!"

I ran through the door and didn't stop running till I got back to the Gryffindor dorms. I jumped into my bed after changing into PJ's, I grabbed the dagger of the floor and studied it, it had words engraved along the blade, it was ancient Greek, and for some reason I could read it!

It said 'ΗΛΙΑΧΤΙΔΑ' or 'SUNBEAM' in English. That was so weird! How could she understand ancient Greek?! And what was this doing in the room of requirement? And why were the new kids and Jay training?! Was there going to be a fight?! Ugh! Suddenly, she heard a creak from the stair case, she slipped the dagger away under her pillow and lay down just in time. The door opened and through her half closed eyes, she could tell it was Thalia. She looked exhausted and was asleep on her bed within minuets, soon I was too.

Nico POV

I woke with a start, sweat dripping down my face, my scars burning, my head aching. Another nightmare, and they were only getting worse since we had arrived. I sat up in my bed and tried to calm my breathing, I heard someone getting out of their bed and checked the time, 6am. The person came over to me and I realized it was Jay.
"You okay?" always the same question.

"I'm fine." always the same lie. I pushed Jay away and curled up under my covers, trying not to cry, one person can only go through so much before it breaks them. At camp Will would have calmed me down after a nightmare, but here he couldn't, unless... I went to get him. I made sure that Jay was asleep again and got up quietly, then got dressed and grabbed one of my Stygian iron knives, tucking it into my belt and covering it with mist. I shadow-traveled to Will's dorm in Gryffindor and walked up to his bed, I grabbed his hand and shadow-traveled us to the forbidden forest, he woke up as we arrived and looked around in surprise.

"Neeks? Where are we? Wasn't I asleep?"

"Yeah."

"Are we in the forbidden forest again?"

"Yeah."

"What happened?"

"Nightmare." I looked down at the ground In shame, this was stupid, I was being childish, I should've just dealt with it. Why was I so weak all the time?!

"Come here." Will hugged me tightly and I relaxed in his arms, this was one of the only places I felt safe. I leaned into him and closed my eyes, knowing he would look after me, I was lucky to have someone like him in my life, and as my boyfriend too.

"It's all going to be okay, it'll work out in the end." Will whispered in my ear, and I believed him, for once. We stayed there for a while before sneaking back up to the castle. Avoiding the Dementors. My mind went to the Horcruxes, we didn't know were any of them were, and we had to find and destroy them as soon as possible so that we could leave, so we needed to start looking for them, soon. I told Will this and he agreed, saying that we could look tonight.

We arrived in the great hall just in time for breakfast, I walked to my table and Will walked to his. I sat down next to Reyna and her friend Katie, but couldn't see Jay anywhere. Weird. I finished my food and went looking for him, I found him talking to a strange looking girl with what looked a bit like, cat ears?! What?! I walked up to them and Jay spotted me coming,

"Emily, this is my friend Nico Di Angelo, Nico, this is Emily Amethyst."

"Hi." Emily said a bit shyly, "You're one of the exchange students right? From America?"

"Yeah, nice to meet you." I looked at her again, she was tall and had pale skin, her eyes were an icy blue and her black hair had a silvery sheen to it, but I couldn't see the cat ears any more, did I imagine it?

"Um, how did you do that thing with the cat ears?" no point beating 'round the bush.

I could see that she went up on defence the second I said that, what was she hiding?

"Uh, um, what are you talking about?" she said nervously.

Emily POV

How had he seen my ears? I had covered them with mist, was he a clear sighted mortal? Just my luck, should I use oblviate? Or just play dumb? I went for option two.

Nico POV

There was definitely something up, but what was it? The girl was saved by the fact that classes seemed to think it was a great time to start, yay.

A/N-Sorry this one took a while, I had writers block. But here it is anyway, enjoy! Please review, favourite and follow!XD
