So sorry for not updating I'm a little sick. By the way if you like Victorious check out my other story Life Changes. Onwards with the story!

Dinner was...uncomfortable may be the best word. Since Percy, Annabeth and I were Dakota's "guardians" a new table was created for the four of us to sit at. Now once more I'm used to people staring and whispering around me, but usually they stop when I catch them. This wasn't the case.

Everyone stared. None looked away. Everyone spoke. No one whispered. Mr. D the camp counsellor also made a half hour speech dedicated to Dakota honoring her. This didn't really help Clarisse in starting a friendship.

When dinner was over Percy and Annabeth all but ran to get away from the attention.

It was now about midnight and I was sitting on the roof of the Big House. The moon was shining brighter and bigger than I've ever seen before. Artemis must be celebrating.

"It's beautiful." A voice said. I knew who the owner of the voice was even though I've known them for less than a day.

"Yeah it is. Lady Artemis is celebrating your return." I answered looking up at Dakota in time to see her grimace.

She was wearing a silver silk dress which stopped at her knees and a black hoodie. Her hair was in a high pony tail showing off her high cheek bones and the sharp but delicate structure of her face.

"Sorry about earlier, I didn't really want anyone to find me." She said sitting arms length from me.

"No problem I'm used to no one wanting me around." I said chuckling grimly. She looked almost...hurt?

"I didn't mean it like that." She said after about 5 minutes.

We continued to sit in silence, the peaceful kind not the awkward one. It felt nice to have someone's company, soothing almost. We didn't speak until the sun began to rise and I felt tired.

"I'm going to go to bed. You should get some rest too Princess." I said standing and stretching.

"Nico."

"Yeah?"

"Thanks...for finding me."

"No problem." I would face all the monsters in Tartarous to see you I thought.

"Shit!" I hissed as an arrow scraped my arm. It was 10:28 and I had archery with the Apollo cabin. Now considering that I'm not a morning person and I went to sleep at 5 in the morning I was in a pretty pissy mood.

"Sorry Nico!" Ariel called coming over to check my scrape. She was 15 and very new to camp but get her upset and she'd kebab you.

So to those of you who hear Ariel and think the Little Mermaid, fair warning don't. Ariel has bright fiery orange hair that look like flames, pale almost translucent skin and a pretty bad temper, especially when it came to her name. Ariel and I became close friends after we almost killed each other in capture the flag. Turns out we have a lot in common.

"Next time aim better mermaid." I hissed at her. She glared at me but continued to heal the wound. Yeah remember what I said about her name, I'm the only one that rule doesn't apply to.

"Listen death breath it's not my fault you were too busy staring at princess perfect ." She said after following my gaze. I glared at her.

"I wasn't staring."

"Sorry my mistake, it not my fault you were drooling over her." She said her voice filled with sarcasm.

Technically it wasn't my fault. Dakota was helping the dryads and Demetor cabin pick strawberries for dinner, and she looked so at peace out there. She wore a one strap green dress that flowed down to her ankles and her usual jet black heels. Her hair was let out with a simple braid holding it out her face. Beautiful.

"So when you gonna ask her out?"

I rolled my eyes at Ariel. Dakota was the definition of perfection meanwhile I was death breath.

So this chapter sucks. Let me know what you think by reviewing though. Gonna try and write a better chapter soon.

Pooh bear loves you! 3
