Chapter 2

Adara's P.O.V

I was about to go home when I noticed something shiny in Nico's drawer. I slid my hand into it and took out the shiny thing. But it's not just a shiny thing. It's a dangerous thing too. It's a dagger.

But this dagger looks familiar. I took it and placed it into my bag. I hurried to the school library. I'm sure I saw this in Greek myths.

I opened every book I could find. Where is that book?! Come on! Where is it!?

I spot a golden book and rushed to it. I quickly flipped through the page and found it.

This dagger is sacred to Daedalus as it is one of his first weapons. One of the first weapons he made while he was in the Labyrinth. Legend says it that it looks like an ordinary pen to humans.

This dagger is perfect for weak and fast users. It isn't proven to be real or fake.

Well, one thing's for sure. It's real. I stared at the dagger.

I've decided. Time to pay Nico a little visit and I'm not leaving there until I get my answers…

Wait a minute! Where's his house? I bet everyone must think I'm dumb now… Well, I'm not! I know JUST what to do!

" Oh, Miss Lee!!" I ran to catch up with her.

" What is it, Dara?"

" Do you think you can tell me where Nico lives?"

" Oh, sure. Wait, what do you need for?"

" To um…" I haven't thought of this! " Err… to give him back this!" I took out the dagger.

" His… pen? That's kind of you, Dara. Go on. The address is 24th May Street."

" Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, Miss Lee!!"

" Of course. Please be careful now."

" I will!!" I shouted back, too happy to care. But something made me turn back.

" I'm serious, Dara…. Be really careful." Miss Lee said in an eerie tone. I turned back to see no one. A chill went through my body. What does she mean? I must be imagining things.

Come on, Dara. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Nico's P.O.V

" I…" For once, I've lost words. What should I say to her?

" There's nothing to be afraid of, Nico. I'll believe you." She said it in an honest tone. Then she smiled. " You should let me in. It's not polite to let a girl stay outside in the rain." She said jokingly. I blushed. I didn't notice the rain.

I opened the door, wider.

" Go on.."

" Thank you." I saw her stare at my 'house'. It's a simple two bedrooms, one toilet and a storeroom house. Not a home to me. There's a difference. Home is somewhere you feel safe. This… isn't. She grinned.

" So, any explanation?" I looked down….

" It's just a pen. You must be blind." She scowled at me before smiling again. What is wrong with her?

" Yes, a pen that is a hidden dagger that match the exact description from a Greek mythology book in our school library." She said it all in one breath. I would have been amazed if it weren't for the fact I couldn't catch what she said. Yes, being ADHD and dyslexia has some bad points.

It took me awhile to process what she said.

" How about… I can't tell you now? Maybe another time? When I can trust you?" She grinned.

" This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, Nico di Angelo. Trust me on this one."

I smirked. I couldn't help myself. She's amusing. For a mortal. For a mortal that can see through the mist.

Where are the satyrs when you need them?

" Well, I trust you know your way out?" She grinned once more before leaving.

" Of course! I'll see you tomorrow in school, Nico."

" Have it your way, Mist."

" Most definitely. Let the fun begin. Oh and Nico, next time, I'll help make dinner." I nearly blushed. Emphasise on the nearly. She saw my burnt noodles… Sigh, I can't even make instant noodles.

What have I gotten myself into?
