Percy pov 1st person
As it turns out, we really didn't talk that much per se.
Sure, she told me about what had happened after I blacked out.
Apparently, those silver clad girls I saw. Were actually the Hunters of Artemis, basically eternal man hating, silver clothes wearing, bitchy prima donnas. That went around the world, killing men and young boys basically because they dared to have different genitalia.
Now don't get me wrong. I do realize that there are some scumbag dudes out there, but with the way the other Gods treated their children. I had to assume that Artemis didn't exactly look into every male she killed, to see if they actually deserved it.
Anyways, those maidens from hell had tried to recruit Bianca to their cause. But she had refused, she claimed that she didn't want to leave Nico alone, especially since I wasn't looking so hot at the time(in my opinion, I think she refused because of how awesome I am.).
After that riveting conversation. We got back to what we almost always did when we were alone. Which was exchanging spit with one another.
So there we were. Happily doing said activity while laying on the beach, as the sun set over Long Island Sound. When someone coughed from somewhere behind us.
Quickly we separated, faces red with embarrassment. There standing behind us, with a smile so wide it was almost creepy, was the girl with the black spikey hair from the dance. I think her name was Thalia.
What Bianca said next confirmed my thought.
"Oh hi Thalia," she said sheepishly, "we were just."
"You were just rewarding your boyfriend for saving you. Right?"
Bianca nodded, her face turning even more red.
"You know?" said Thalia, with a thoughtful expression on her face, "if my boyfriend had nearly died to save me. I would have skipped all that kissing crap and went straight to."
Thankfully the blonde girl that was also at the dance, came and interrupted Thalia before she could finish her thought. Saving both me and Bianca's faces from turning as red as tomatoes.
"Excuse me Thalia, but don't creatures like you. Lay eggs into their victims after having intercourse?" asked the blonde girl sarcastically.
Thalia turned to face her. Her face red with anger.
"Oh i'm sorry Annabeth." she replied, using the same amount of sarcasm, "I didn't realize you stopped sucking my brothers **** to listen to what i'm saying."
They kept going back and forth like that. Each response getting angrier and angrier. I could tell they were close to blows, so seizing the opportunity I dragged Bianca away from the arguing pair.
We chose not to go to the Hermes cabin. Instead we decided to spend the night in the infirmary, sleeping together in the bed I woke up in this morning. We both took off our clothes. But still keeping our undergarments on. We did this because while we as young adults feel the desire to procreate, a child at this age would not serve us very well.
Bianca had snuggled under my arm. So I couldn't understand what she said, when she mumbled something into the side of my chest.
"What was that?"
"I said, what do you think about all this? You know." she said, gesturing around the room.
I knew what she meant. Our whole world had changed in the space of a day.
Before, we only had to survive the school year, escaping the teachers attempts to ruin our lives. Now it was like those teachers had become super powerful beings, and instead of just the school year it was our entire lives.
"I think," I started, choosing my words carefully, "I think we should just deal with it when it comes it. But until then we should try our best to ignore it."
She didn't seem happy with my answer, but it wasn't long before I heard the soft sound of her snoring. Alerting me that she had fallen asleep, and it wasn't long before I followed her.
Dream world
I awoke in the same forest as before, but this time the mountains were a lot closer. There was an entrance to cave at the base of one of the mountains. Three voices called out to me, the voices were like the wind, circling around me. Making it impossible to find the source of the voices.
"Release us." said one voice.
"Come north." said another.
"Fulfill your destiny." said the third voice.
Then as quickly as they appeared, they were gone.
My dream shifted. Now I was getting a bird's eye view of another forest. This one was completely clear of snow and had now mountains in sight.
It was night time, but with the moon's light I could still see normally.
As I travelled I came across a clearing. A fire burned inside the clearing, and beside it was a person dressed in animal skins. The figure looked familiar so I decided to get a closer look.
The only things I could make out of the person, was that it was a she(that much was obvious from the large baby bump the figure had.). And that she seemed to be angry with the moon, Judging by the way she was shaking her fist in it's direction.
Just before I could fully make out her face, I woke up.
Dream over
Daylight streamed through an open window forcing me to blink my eyes was still asleep. Her grip on my arm was making it hard for blood to travel properly through the veins. I was just trying to think of a way to relieve the pressure without waking her up, when I noticed that two other people were in the room with us.
One of them was Thalia who seemed(by her black eye and split upper lip) to have actually got into a fight with Annabeth on the beach. But despite that, she still smiled at the sight of me and Bianca in bed.
"So," she said, raising her eyebrows suggestively, "you two lovebirds have fun last night?"
The second person turned out to be Nico. he looked at me in horror after Thalia uttered that last sentence.
"You guys didn't do what I think you did. Did you?"
"No it's not what it looks like." I defended. It didn't help that you could see both mine and Bianca's underwear. And the fact that the sheets looked like they had been through a category five hurricane.
I must have shifted or something, because Bianca started to get up. Shaking her head groggily before letting out a scream, and attempting to cover herself with the sheets when she realized who else was in the room.
"What are you two doing here." she said, her face the colour of cherry kool aid.
"Us? What are you two doing here?" Nico asked incredulously.
Before Bianca could answer. Thalia had grabbed Nico by the arm, and was dragging him towards the door.
"Come on Nico," she said, "let's go to sword practice and let these two wash themselves off."
Once they were gone, Bianca hopped out of the bed. Quickly getting dressed in yesterday's clothes, before running out the door to shower.
I sighed, before getting up to follow her.
I thought back to my dream. I was still unable to make sense of it. Mysterious voices telling me to free them, and a pregnant woman shaking her fist at the moon. Yup, that was definitely not a normal dream.
The more I thought of it, the more a feeling of impending doom settled over me. I tried shaking it off as walked out the door, and into the sunlight of midday.
1 week later
Over the next week, i tried to get accustomed to everyday life at Camp Half Blood.
I found this extremely difficult to do. Mostly due to the fact that I didn't really get along with most of the other campers.
The only people I got along with were, Nico and Bianca of course, Thalia(she was a lot less weird once you got to know her) and a big, burly, african american dude named Beckendorf.
All the other campers looked at me like I was some sort of alien from another planet, and talking behind my back. The worst by far was Annabeth.
The daughter of Athena would not stop pestering about my background. Asking me things like, "who's your mother," or "who's your father,".
She had been driving me so crazy, that one night on my way back to the Hermes cabin. She asked me if it was possible for my father to have been an immortal. I snapped calling her some very choice words before slamming the door in her face.
The next day. while working at the forge with Beckendorf, who was a son of Hephaestus, I asked him about it.
"She's just trying to figure out who your godly parent is, just like everybody else." he explained, taking the sword he was making out of the hot coals and dipping it in the cooling tub.
The water steamed and bubbled at the touch of the metal.
I looked at the misshapen hunk of metal in my hands with disgust before asking him a follow up question.
"Who do you think my parent is?"
He studied the perfect sword blade he had just made before answering.
"Well you say you lived with your real mother your whole life, so that takes out any female gods." he said. Stopping to walk over and hang the sword blade on a rack.
He came back with a new piece of metal. Placing it on the forge before continuing.
"And judging by your size and attitude. I would guess you were a son of Ares."
"What do you mean attitude," I asked, pretending not to know what he was talking about.
He looked over at me pointedly.
It was true. Some of the campers had annoyed me so much that I had either, insulted, threatened or assaulted them after they asked anything pertaining to who my godly parent was.
Though to be fair, that was only the first couple of days of me being here. When I didn't get to see Bianca as much due to conflicting schedules. But once Chiron realized that I was a hell of a lot calmer with her around, he let us have nearly identical schedules.
The only difference being, that she had sword practice with Nico and I had weapons forging with Beckendorf.
After our brief conversation, we stood together in comfortable silence, when suddenly the door flew open. It was Thalia, running as fast as she could towards us.
She ran so fast that she didn't notice a discarded block of metal on the ground, and tripped over it.
"Woah there." I said, stepping forward and catching her by the collar.
Luckily I caught her before her face made impact with the hard floor.
"Thalia what's wrong? Why aren't you at the arena?" I asked hoisting her back to her feet.
One look at her face told me something bad had happened. Her next words confirmed my suspicions.
"Nico." she said panting, "Bianca. I tried to stop them."
"Stop who!" I said, practically shouting at her, "what happened?"
She only had time to say one name before I was heading for the door.
"Shane."

A/N: sorry about that cliffhanger. NOT(insert evil laughter). No but seriously sorry about the ending to this chapter, but someone once told me that you don't truly become a writer until you cut off a chapter right before an action scene, so there you go. You should expect the next chapter to be out either tomorrow or the next day. And this time I promise there will be some action. Maybe even from Bianca, but we will see. Anyways don't forget to tell me what you think, and as always have a nice day,
Peace.
