Nico's P.O.V
I grabbed the arrow before it could kill Grace and looked up to find our attacker. It was some kid, probably our age, that I had never seen before. He was looking at Grace and he looked terrified. I looked at Grace and saw why. She had an evil glare on her face as she stared at the poor kid.
"Are you trying to kill me? Because if you were then you won't be making it out of these woods alive" she said menacingly.
I had never seen her so mad.
She cut the poor kid off as he tried to answer. "Do you know what would've happened if you killed me? My best friend would have one less person looking for her. One less person could be fatal considering it is only the two of us. You would have had two murders on your hands."
Oh, that's why she is so mad.
I looked from her glare to the boy's expression of fear and said, "So what up with the arrow?"
"I-um-I-I'm-well-I'm-" he sputtered out. I almost felt bad for him.
"Calm down. I'm not going to kill you," she said. This calmed the kid down a little. Wait, why do I keep calling him kid? He might even be older than me.
"Sorry, I'm Alec. Son of Apollo. I was being chased since I stayed out too late and I didn't think I was shooting at some demi-gods. I'm really sorry-um I didn't catch your names," Alec said.
"Nico di Angelo, son of Hades," I said. He backed away a little, but nodded.
"Grace Jackson," she paused before saying, "Daughter of Poseidon." His eyes widened and he stared at the two of us. "Both of you are children of the big three? Is the girl you're looking for also a child of the big three?" He asked.
"No. She is a daughter of Iris," I said.
He nodded and said, "I can help you. Don't you need three people for a quest anyway?" I looked him over and saw Grace doing the same.
Just as I was about to refuse Grace said, "Sure." Both of us looked at her, shocked.
"We need all the help we can get and he obviously knows how to shoot well. You can come, but don't bother me," she said continuing to walk. We followed after her.
Alec leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "Is she bipolar?"
"No, she's a girl. Same diff dude," I replied and he nodded.
A/N: Hi, Goldie here, just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm sorry we haven't updated in a few months. We were writing chapter on google docs, and we just forgot to post them, sorry.
