I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Chapter 3: We found Searun.
Percy pov
I turned at the sound of my name and saw Nico running toward me. He had a young girl at his heals. She looked about six with black hair and violet eyes. She looked scared and curious at the same time. Her hand was on her bracelet, my guess was that it was a weapon of some kind. "Nico, good to see you. Who's this?" I said when he was closer. "This is Searun Maine. I think she's a demigod, but can't tell who her parent is." I looked at the girl. She seemed to be biting something back. "Do you have something to say?" I asked her. She looked at me with wide eyes and shook her head.
I watched her for a bit then decided to change to subject. "Well, I guess she can stay in Hermes cabin until she is claimed." Nico nodded. Searun was shaking and I felt sorry for her, but what was she scared of. I noticed she was looking right behind me. At the Hades cabin. She stepped past me and toward it. I started to stop her, but Nico grabbed my wrist. I looked at him and back at Searun. She spoke for the first time since she arrived. "I know this power." my eyes got wide. Was she a daughter of Hades? How could she be, she would have been born around the time I came to camp. When there was still a pact of the big three.

This was the power my real father gave off in my vision. But, why couldn't I fell my mother? Were they still together? Nico came forward and put a hand on my shoulder. "This is Hades cabin. It is dangerous to all but his children." I pushed open the door and step in. My heart beat fast as I did so. Nothing happened. I looked around the room to a picture on the wall. It was of my father. I walked to it. Nico was behind me. "That's my father, but..." I looked for any trace of my mother. There were none. I turned and saw Nico was very pale. "Wait here." he said before vanishing into shadows.

I entered the underworld and went to speak with my father. "Nico, I sense something is disturbing you?" I nodded "Father, do you know someone who's last name is Maine?" I asked. Father looked puzzled and thought. "No, why?" I thought "What about Searun?" the god froze when I said this. "How do you know that name?" he demanded. I flinched "I just found a girl named Searun Maine. She looked like she just got out of a battle. I thought she was a demigod and brought her to the camp." Hades quickly turned to one of the harpies. "Summon Persephone. Tell her we've found Searun."
