Ok I'm going to try to make this chapter a little longer than the others.

Chapter 3: My Friend Isn't Dead

"Whoa slow down Grover, who's alive?" I asked

"Bianca!"

My heart raced. "She's alive!" I thought. But how could she? How could anyone survive what happened to Bianca? And how was I supposed to tell her that her brothers gone evil? Oh my God. Nico. Nobody knew where he was, but if he could hear that his sister is alive he would have to come back.

"Where is she?!" I asked.

"The Mess Hall!" he said.

I sprinted, dodging all the people that got in my way. Annabeth and Grover ran to try and catch up with me. I was almost there until fell to ground, hard. It was Clarisse, and she had tripped me.

"Don't you have someone else to pick on?" Annabeth said as she helped me up.

Now wasn't the time to get into a fight with Clarisse.

I had reached the Mess Hall and tried to push pass the crowds to find Bianca. I was in the center of the Mess Hall and continued searching. I was moving to the front then someone bumped into me and knocked me down. "What is this make Percy fall day?!" I thought. Then somebody gave me their hand to help me up. It was Bianca. I took her hand and she helped me up. Then she gave me a big hug. "It's nice to see you again." She said. I pulled away, crying. She wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled.

"How did you survive?" I asked. Her smile went away.

"Ok kids its time for dinner." Chiron said.

Everyone got their food and began eating. Bianca sat next to me so I wouldn't have to eat alone.

"I have an announcement to make." Chiron said. Everyone stopped eating.

"Now as you all know, Bianca di Angelo is alive…." Everyone cheered. "Now we would all like to say welcome you back. But since you are not claimed, we don't know where to place you. Luckily, there is an extra bed in the Ares cabin, so you can stay there for now."

I already knew who her father was. I remember the power Nico had last year. And the figurine Bianca had found for Nico. Their father was Hades.

"She will not stay with us!" Clarisse said

"Can't you just be nice once?" I said

"Stop protecting your girlfriend." She said standing up.

I stood up too saying, "She's not my girlfriend!"

"You're right Percy, what am I saying? You could never get a girlfriend!" she said while laughing.

Angry at her I made her water spill into her plate, and forced the water, containing the food, to splash into her face. She wasn't smiling anymore.

"You'll regret doing that Percy Jackson." She said while gritting her teeth, and trying to get pieces of ham out of her hair.

"Bring it on food face!" I said.

"Enough!" Mr. D. said. "If you want to settle this, then do it in a capture the flag match, you brats!"

"How about it Jackson?" Clarisse said.

"Fine." I said. "Just don't cry when my team whoops you!"
