Τρόμος

~Katniss's POV~

"So….." I say trying to start a conversation with Finnick.

"Nice weather we're having….?" He says with a smirk.

I smile. It feels good to be with Finnick. When I'm with Gale he doesn't make me smile and enjoy as much. I look up and see it's cloudy.

"Yes, it's perfect weather." I say

We are walking into the training room. It took us about thirty minutes to get there. I see a building in the distance. There is a sign that says 'Goode High School'.

"It's so weird how the people from District 13 didn't change any names of the schools, parks, lakes, etc." Finnick says as he open the door to the building.

"They must have been fond of New York." I say as I look around. I see lockers like back at school in District 12.

"New- Whaaa?" He asks questioningly with his bright smile on him.

"New York, you male airhead." I say somewhat distracted.

We keep walking towards a building that says 'Cafeteria'.

"I'm not an airhead! Sorry for not knowing where the hell we are." He says with a funny look on his face. He reminds me so much of Percy. I just can't put my finger on it though.

"Just shut it, Finnick. You should at least know where you currently are."

"Whatever you say." He says rolling his eyes while opening the door to the Cafeteria for me.

I see people making weapons of all sorts. As we pass by them I notice we get a few glances and I guess Finnick noticed as well because he started walking in slow motion, while running his hands threw his hair, and winking at random people.

As we reached the next door leading to the gym I whispered at him, "Show off."

He rolled his eyes and we entered the gym.

I saw very little people practicing. I was headed to the shooting area and Finnick to the Tridents.

As we entered we got glances and one by one they began to leave. This is strange, why would they….? I turn around toward the door to see Oran coming through.

I remembered what happened yesterday. When Percy left I looked at Oran and I decided to bring him back to our main buildings. He was very heavy though so I dragged him. I could care less, I was only bringing him along because Percy saved him and I couldn't leave him there after he got Percy's mercy.

Once we got in front of my apartment I swear it was like 10:00 pm. He was just so heavy. I took him inside and dropped him near the entrance. I went up the stairs to go get my mother and we both carried him upstairs.

He was just unconscious and lost some blood. We revived him after an hour or so and my mom helped him walk home while I stayed at home sleeping.

I still wonder how he would react to all this mercy towards him. He looked at me and smiled.

Finnick didn't notice anything since he was too concentrated on working with his tridents. Oran then got next to me as I was shooting with my preferred weapon.

"What do you want, Oran?" I say coldly as I keep shooting toward moving bull's eyes.

"I wanted to…say sorry. Sorry for almost killing you and Percy."

When I heard Percy's name I shot at another object by accident and then heard Finnick saying, "Sure Katniss, kill me while you can."

I rolled my eyes and quickly regained my confidence back.

"I knew that would get to you." Oran said with his green emerald eyes gleaming.

I stopped shooting and turned toward him. I gave him the coldest glare I could, which then turned into a stare down.

When I finally blinked, Oran said, "Ha! Beat you!"

I lifted my arms in confusion. What the heck is wrong with him? He is so bi-polar.

"Since when were we playing a game?" I say annoyed.

Can't he just go bother Finnick?

"Good point. Hey, seriously, I need to talk to you." He said as his face turned into this serious face.

"Go ahead." I said as I continued shooting.

"I'm really sorry for doing that. It's just we need you to stop talking to Alex. Sora suggested we kill you both." He said almost whispering so Finnick won't hear, I guess.

"What do you mean Sora wants to kill me?" I say yelling and almost piercing the bull's eye.

"Katniss, shut it. Finnick will hear us. This is very important. I thought Mitzuki would have already told you the truth."

I glanced over at Finnick who was apparently to busy talking to himself and attacking helpless dummies.

"What truth?" I asked Oran.

He looked kind of irritated of standing around and me taking my time.

"The truth about Sora wanting to kill you, me having those epic powers, and why Mitzuki's eyes turn purple."

I immediately stopped shooting. I clicked on this button that stopped the bull's eyes from moving, I then put my weapon down.

"Take my hand, Katniss." Oran said extending it, his face looked serious and for some reason I took it.

Then my surroundings changed. I was at the training center with Finnick one second and now I'm in the subway where Mitzuki fainted.

Then from the shadows then came Mitzuki. She smiled calmly.

"Thank you for bringing her, Oran." she said smiling.

He smiled back.

I was utterly confused. What the heck is going on?

"Katniss, the reason you were summoned in here is for urgent reasons. More urgent than the rebellion will ever be. I need you to know Sora is out to get you and-"

I cut Mitzuki off. "Why is he after me? What did I do?" I say now fuming with rage.

"Katniss! Let me speak! You can't see Perseus anymore. If you do, the trigger will be set off. Once the trigger is set off, the rebellion will be something we would not need to take care of."

"What trigger?" I ask.

Oran then cut in. "You may not get a word I say but I'll tell you anyway. Someone will die. That death is going to trigger a bigger wormhole. You are going to ruin the past and the Great Prophecy shall be lost. Once that happens, we will cease to exist. The rebellion doesn't matter anymore."

What on earth is he talking about?

He started chuckling. "I guess Percy didn't tell you who he really is."

I was getting madder each second.

"Katniss, Percy has his own war to deal with as well. The Great Prophecy foretells that Percy has to make a decision to save his time from destruction from the Titans. You guys seeing each other will cause a time change and all will be lost." Mitzuki said trying to calm me down a bit.

I was very confused about everything. Who are the Titans? What exactly is the Great Prophecy?

"What is the Great Prophecy?" I asked

Oran was about to speak but Mitzuki did the talking.

"It's a saying foretelling the future. Like when my eyes turn purple. I become the Oracle. I unconsciously tell you the future in a poem. Well, back in Percy's time, they had another Oracle. That Oracle foretold a future decision that he will make to save the world."

Wow. That hit me. Percy has the world in his hands, I just have Panem.

"So I should stay away from him…?" I ask, not really sure.

"Well, it's what we think will stop the trigger from happening." Oran responds.

That's when my suspicion rose. How could I trust a girl who is to be married to a monster and a boy who shoots green stuff?

I guess Mitzuki felt my suspicion rise because she said, "Katniss, I'm in no way lying. We are only doing it to separate you and Perseus."

She looked serious and I believed her. Not completely though.

I then turned to Oran and asked, "Where did you get your power, Oran?"

He smirked and said, "My mother."

"So you're a demi-god?" I asked

"Yes I am. Just don't go telling people that."

Mitzuki then said, "Anymore questions before we get you back to the Training Center?"

"Yes…"

A bunch of questions where going through me at the moment but I thought this one would be the most important.

"Why am I going into the past at random times?"

"We aren't sure who is causing this. We have our suspicions though." Oran said simply

"Our suspicion is backed up by partial fact." Mitzuki said immediately.

"Which is…?" I asked, clearly still unable to get an answer.

They looked at each other and said in unison, "Kronos."

For some reason hearing that name made a shiver go down my spine and back.

"Take me back now, please." I say as I cast my head down.

"As you wish, Mockingjay." Oran said and with a twirl of his finger I came back to the training center.

I see I'm still in front of the shooting area. I look around for Finnick but he wasn't around. I put the bow and arrows away and walked into the Cafeteria. Everyone was frozen. Like not ice frozen but just staying still. I see Finnick talking to a guy, but he is also frozen.

I try to shake him but I only managed to drop him and he was still in the position that he was before.

I was getting ready to panic when I heard it. A giggle. A giggle from a little girl. I followed the sound of it until I went outside into some basketball courts. Then I heard it again, coming from an alley between two buildings. I ran towards there.

As I was running, I didn't know what to expect. Then I stopped before I could make the turn into the alleyway. I felt scared, unusually scared. My whole system was telling me to get away as fast as I could. But I also felt inclined into going in to find out.

I took a deep breath and I turned into the alley with my eyes shut. As soon as I was in front of the alley with my eyes closed I heard another giggle. Then after the giggle, I felt a hot breath near my neck. Someone was right next to me.

Then she spoke, "Hehehe! Father will finally love me and appreciate me!"

I then opened my eyes and saw a girl with empty sockets as eyes with blood pouring down them. She had dark ashy brown hair. Her skin was wrinkly and abnormally pale, she also had long claws, purple at the tip. Poison, I bet. I felt the unusual panic once more and that's when she opened her mouth. She had fangs and blood coming out of it.

I was ready to scream or run when all of the sudden she leaped onto me with an ear piercing scream. It wasn't a human scream either.

Then she bit me. That bite was so horrible, it felt like my lungs and heart wanted to be ripped out. My legs wanted to tear off, my arms wanted to crack and twist, my heart wanted to burst open, and my eyes wanted to fall out. Her eyes then started pouring black blood out of them.

After the bite ended she giggled and put her finger by her mouth, as if shushing me. Shushing me into a deep slumber where I would never escape. I was alone. Truly alone.

I screamed. I screamed from the fright of it and from the pain. Then I got slapped.

"KATNISS!" he yelled.

I shot up and saw it was a dream. I think. I felt myself hyperventilating. Then I felt tears coming out at a fast pace. I had just felt death. A dream of death far too real to be explained. I went into Finnick's arms. I felt myself shivering. We were back at the training center.

After a while I wiped my eyes and looked at him.

"What happened, Katniss?"

"I don't know. I had a horrible dream. I saw this girl with empty sockets and and-"

He got me into a hug again.

"No need to tell me. It's alright. It was a dream. Just a dream. I'm here to protect you."

I looked into Finnick's eyes. This boy was here for me. He was like my big brother. I am not alone. I will always have Finnick, Gale, and Percy. And….Peeta.

That's when Haymitch came in.

"What on earth was that dreadful scream for?"

I was still on the floor. Wiping small tears I tried to get up, but my legs were shivering.

Then Finnick got up and held me.

"She had a nightmare. That's all."

"Well that nightmare made one of our blacksmiths run out yelling."

"I-I'm sorry." I say.

I feel better with Finnick and hearing Haymitch yell at me. I look into the doorway to see the other blacksmiths and Mitzuki there, looking into the scene.

"Bahhh! Go on lazy bums! Get back to work! Nothing to see here!" Haymitch yelled.

Mitzuki still stayed there though. Then Finnick put my arm around him and we started walking.

We went through the back door and I saw Mitzuki was following us. She kept following us till we got in front of my building apartment. I saw the small stairs to go into the entrance.

"You stay here for a while. I'm going to get your mother to come down and give you a stress reliever. To calm you down." Finnick said in calm words.

Once Finnick went inside, I saw Mitzuki standing over me.

"What do you want now? To make fun of me?" I say rudely toward her.

I realize my pride was shattered because of that embarrassing scene I caused.

"Never in my life would I make fun of a hero such as yourself. I only came to tell you that you must travel with Oran and me somewhere, somewhere you have to be in right now. Its two hours away, but Oran can help us get there. You can trust me."

I looked into her silver eyes. Her hand was extended.

"No. I'm not going anywhere now. I don't trust you."

She then dropped her hand and had a sad look.

"I didn't mean for that dream to happen. Oran only teleported you away and that's all. I have no idea why that happened. Please, Katniss I have to show you Camp Half-Blood. The place where Percy spent most of his life. I want to take you so you can help us discover why you are traveling into the past. To get clues…."

She looked with this pleading look. She really meant it. I could feel it. I was about to speak when Finnick and my mother came outside. My mom had this bottle. She quickly listened to my heart beat. I could feel it was still beating very hard. Heck, I was still shivering. It just felt too real.

"Here drink this. Afterwards take a small walk. Don't push yourself, please."

My mother knew what to do about my nightmares. She always told me that my nightmares were rare and too life-like, unlike the rest of the people in this world. Well….er-...time.

I then looked at the bluish-yellowish substance. I took a deep breath and chugged it all. It tastes horrible. Like rotten milk, only worse. I handed the bottle to my mom and she went back upstairs.

"You okay now?" Finnick asks

"Yes…." I then ball my fist and a smile comes on my face. "Yes I am."

He smiles and says, "I'm glad. Hey I want to go back to the training center, do you want to-"

I cut him off, "No sorry, I don't want to go into those buildings for a while."

"I understand perfectly."

And with that he walked off. Finnick knows what nightmares can do. Then I see Oran coming out from the shadows.

"I shall take all three of us to Camp Half-Blood."

I felt uncomfortable about teleportation again. Then Mitzuki grabbed my hand.

"I will not let anything harm you, Katniss. I promise."

I squeezed her hand and with that I saw the world fade in a flash. My surroundings changed to a forest like place. There were small buildings. Totally ruined by nature. The buildings were in a u-like formation.

I then let go of Mitzuki's hand. I took a deep breath.

"Do you sense anything, Katniss?" Oran asks slowly.

"No I-…"

Then I felt it. That cold shivery feeling I get when I fade into the future. Oh no.

"Mitzuki! Oran! I'm going into the future!"

Their eyes grew wide and Mitzuki got one of my arms and Oran got the other. But that didn't stop this immense force. I used to be able to fade when I was asleep. Now it was just whenever it felt like it. The wormhole is growing. I can feel it spreading. And with that my grip on Mitzuki and Oran let go.

"Katniss!" Mitzuki yelled

I look at my new surroundings. I'm at a small peak of a hill. I see people practicing archery and others riding strange horses with magnificent wings.

"Is this the home of the powerful half-bloods?"

~Percy's POV~

I've been in the Poseidon cabin for…..a while. That last time travel really hurt my body, for some odd reason. Plus, while I'm here, Annabeth is out there, lost and cold. I hate myself. I feel like it's my fault she's gone. I have to try to get up once more.

I lift my head from my pillow and set my legs on the floor. Then I stand. I don't feel so wobbly anymore. I put on a shirt and got outside.

The campers were doing their daily activities. As I was walking to The Big House, I saw people glancing at me and whispering between themselves. I've gained respect for fighting the Battle of the Labyrinth, as the campers are now calling it.

After a while I finally got to the Big House. I was at the entrance.

"Dr. Chase can't find her either!" I heard Clarisse saying.

"Maybe, she went on to Luke's side….." I heard Grover saying.

What a negative person. Annabeth wouldn't do that!

"Grover! What type of satyr are you! Annabeth would never do that!" I recognized Thalia saying.

There was a silence.

Then I went in. They were all in thought when they saw me. Thalia gave me a smile. Grover just looked down. Clarisse was just there. I noticed a shadow in the other doorway. Oh wait, it's just Nico.

"Hey Percy. You feeling better?" Thalia asked.

"Yeah. So any news about Annabeth's disappearance?" I asked, knowing the answer.

"Well, no. We simply can't find her. All we found was this." Thalia said handing me a blue Yankees cap.

"Where did you find this?" I asked

"We didn't find it. Kyron did." Clarisse said simply.

Kyron? Who the heck is Kyron? I must have had a confused look because Thalia explained.

"Kyron is an unclaimed camper who is part of the search party. If you want to ask him exactly where he found this, go to the Hermes's Cabin."

I nodded and got out of the Big House. I'm determined to find her. I then saw the Hermes's Cabin and headed toward it.

I kept walking, then my head started hurting and I fell to my knees. I had a huge headache. I put my hand over my forehead. I then saw myself in my school. It looked destroyed. I started walking toward an alley where usually people gamble lunch money. I kept walking involuntary. I then heard the creepiest voice.

I looked into the alley and saw a girl biting another girl. The girl biting had black blood coming from her empty eye sockets. The other girl looked as if she were having a seizure. Then the girl biting stood up and looked at me.

She put her finger by her mouth. She was shushing me for some reason. Then the other girl screamed and I recognized it immediately. Katniss.

My eyes shot open. I was shocked. It was only a dream, of Katniss dying. She might be in trouble. Then again, so is Annabeth.

I got up somewhat wobbly and continued toward the Cabin. I wonder how long I was out. I opened the knob and I saw bunch of Hermes people and I yelled over the noise.

"Where's Kyron?"

They all turned and pointed to the way far corner bunk bed. I went toward it and I saw someone on the top of the bunk bed, so I climbed the small stairs.

He has black jet hair, and dark purple-green eyes. I saw him reading a book about… He shut the book and sat with his legs crossed.

"Are you Kyron?" I asked slowly.

"That I am. And you must be Perseus Jackson, our salvation. Oh joy."

What's that supposed to mean?

"Kyron, where did you find this?" I say taking out the Yankees cap.

"Oh that junk? I found it at Athens." he said taking the book out and continued reading.

"Athens? Why was it there?"

"How on earth should I know? I just found it! It's not like I kidnapped her." He said as he took out a doughnut and started eating it.

"And you do mean Athens, Greece, right?"

He nodded, because he was eating his glazed pastry.

There was silence. Finally I spoke. "Why were you in Athens?"

He then swallowed and said, "I'm part of the Annabeth's Search Party. I happened to get Athens and other places."

My head was filled with questions. Why Athens? How did he get over there?

"How did you even get over there?" I asked.

"I can teleport." He said as he was licking his fingers.

He is the fastest doughnut eater I have ever seen.

"So, who's your parent?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

He then shot me a glare and took out a green apple.

"I'm unclaimed. No need to rub it in my face, smart one." he said as he took a bite out of the apple.

"Oh…..Why are you eating again?" I asked randomly. I was curious.

"Well…." He swallowed, "I just ate a doughnut, and I don't want to get fat so I'm eating this green apple now."

"Oh." I say. He sounds like those Aphrodite girls

"Any more questions?" He asked still reading his book and eating his apple.

"No…but I need you to do me favor."

He put the book down and gave me this look.

"You want me to teleport you, don't you?"

"Uhh, yeah. Exactly." I say

"Fine. But I get to go and follow you."

"Uhh sure."

He had a point though, I do need a ride back here.

He then shut the book and put it under his pillow. I climbed down and he just jumped down landing with a thud. He then flipped his hair to the side.

"Let's go Perseus.

"You can call me Percy." I say somewhat annoyed.

"Sure, whatever."

We then stepped outside and I see Stephanie, Rachael, and…..Katniss?

"Oh dear gods…why is she here?"

~Katniss POV~

I got down from the small hill. I then went toward the camp. As I got out of the forest and started walking to who knows where, I got looks from people, like, "What is she doing here?"

I tried to ignore them but I couldn't. I felt annoyed. Then I heard my name being called by a familiar person.

"Katniss!"

I turned to see a girl with sandy hair attack me with a hug. Next to us was Rachael. She was smiling.

After the bear hug Stephanie said, "What brings you here? Are you also going to join the hunt for Annabeth?" She said.

Annabeth? Who's Annabeth?

"She doesn't know Annabeth, Stephi." Rachael said.

"You don't? She is this awesome strategist, daughter of Athena herself."

"Athena…?" I asked.

Stephanie then had this confused look on her face.

"She can see through the mist but she doesn't have a clue about Greek Mythology." Rachael said.

"Well I know about half-bloods, but I don't know who the gods are."

"Its time for….STEPHI'S AND RACHAEL'S SUPER DUPER FAST MYTHOLOGY LESSON!" Stephanie said proudly

"Yeah, what she said." said Rachael, "Come on, we shall also give you a tour of the place."

We started walking.

"Okay so like there are twelve Olympian Gods." Stephanie stated," Their names are

Apollo, Zeus, Hera, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Artemis, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Hermes, Hephaestus, and Dionysus."

How on earth am I to memorize that?

"Uhh…..okay." I say, still wondering how the heck I am to remember that.

Rachael then giggled.

"Geez Stephi, you can't expect her to remember all that right now!"

"Uh duh! That's why it's called Stephi's and Rachael's Super Duper FAST mythology lesson!"

"It's alright, I'll find a way to memorize that." I say unsure whether I am lying or not.

I can feel it in my heart that it's my duty to know the names, because they will come in handy.

"That's GREAT!" Stephanie says as she claps her hands, "NOW, I shall teach you the basic stuff!"

"Fire away." I say, using my new phrase I learned from Percy.

"Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia are siblings. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon are known as the 'Big Three'. Hestia is a minor god so don't worry so much about her. Hera is married to Zeus, even though Zeus has children with mortals. Hera doesn't have any children though. By the way, the 'Big Three' aren't allowed to have children since World War II. And-"

"Another by the way, the Big Three have broken that oath already." Rachael interrupted

"Nuh-Uh! Hades didn't! He had Bianca and Nico BEFORE the World War II oath! Duhh!" Stephanie stated.

"Oh…yeah…." Rachael said somewhat embarrassed.

I was still very confused. My head aches of all that information. I'm a hunter by nature, not a scholar.

"Okay so like now I will tell you the 'Big Three's' abilities and what they are gods of. OH! Plus Hera, Hestia, and Demeter!" Stephanie said.

She cleared her voice and I prepared for another attack of information.

"Zeus is the god of the sky. He is also the leader of the gods. Poseidon is the god of water. He is Percy's dad. He is also the god of storms and earthquakes. He can like control waves and water! It's so epic!"

"I'll take it from here. Hera is the goddess of marriage, so she doesn't have children or demi-gods. She is also….weird. She is very self-centered." Rachael added.

She then continued, "Hopefully a cow doesn't attack me, since that is Hera's symbol. Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, and Demeter the goddess of the Harvest. Her favorite daughter, Persephone, is married to Hades. Long story how that happened. Now, Hades is the god of the dead. He can raise them and crack the earth up and such. Now, Zeus had children by mythological creatures that made up the other gods. Are you ready to hear them?"

"Yeah….go for it."

I gulped. I'm prepared for the biggest headache in my life."

"Oh joy."

~Percy's POV~

I was about to wave to them when I heard Stephanie saying something about her and Rachael's super mythology lesson or something. I see Katniss' face is in deep confusion. Oh the poor soul.

"Isn't that the redhead you, like, had an affair with?" Kyron asks suddenly.

"Affair? I'm fifteen! And she is just a friend. Come on we have to get going." I say very annoyed.

"Nahh, I don't feel like it just yet." He says casually.

"What the hell? We have to get to Athens!"

"Yeah, yeah! Laterrrrr! I wanna meet that chick." He said pointing to either Katniss or Stephanie.

"Which one?" I ask out of curiosity.

"The girl with light brown hair. The hyperactive one." He says smirking.

Has to be Stephanie, Katniss isn't hyperactive in any way.

"Her name is Stephanie, daughter of Apollo himself."

"Let's impress them with my teleportation!"

"Wait. Whaaa?" I say very much too late as he twirls his finger.

There was a bit of light and we suddenly appeared in front of them.

"So therefore Apollo and Artemis are twins." Rachael said explaining to Katniss,

"Apollo being the Sun god and Artemis the Moon-" She then turns and sees me and Kyron.

"Oh gods! I didn't see you there Percy!" Rachael says somewhat startled.

"PERCYYYY!" Stephanie says as she jumps to hug me.

Her hugs remind me strangely of Tyson. Gosh I miss my big guy. She finally lets go and I see Katniss rubbing her temples.

"You okay?" I ask her.

"PERFECT! JUST FINE!" She says loudly.

"She has been learning at a fast rate." Rachael says pointing at her.

"Uh duh! How many times must I repeat? It's called Stephi's and Rachael's Supe-"

"Don't say it!" Rachael and Katniss said in unison.

"Well then. Be that way." Stephanie says as she crosses her arms while rolling her eyes.

"So Percy," She continues, "who's your friend here?"

"Stephanie, Rachael, and Katniss meet Kyron. Kyron meet Stephanie, Katniss, and Rachael."

"Hey!" He says flipping his hair, that show off.

Stephanie's eyes grew with admiration. Oh brother, love at first sight. Aphrodite is watching us.

"So who's your parent?" She asks.

"I'm unclaimed." He says simply with no emotion.

"Oh….I'm so sorry."

"Nahh don't worry. Who cares? I can teleport!" he said as he demonstrated.

He suddenly appeared on the roof of the Artemis cabin. If she were here, she would of murdered him.

"Amazing!" Stephanie said as she clapped her hands and jumped up and down.

"Yo, Kyron! Stop flirting with the girls and get me to Athens already!" I yelled.

He shrugged as he twirled his finger and appearing at the speed of light before my eyes.

"Okay. I'll get you over there, now I have no idea what my limit is. I know it's more than two though."

"We are four though" I say.

"Well actually….my search party compadre is the ghost king himself. So he needs to tag along."

"Nico? Seriously?"

"Believe it or not Percy." I hear Nico's voice lingering behind us.

He high-fived Kyron and did the knuckle touch afterwards. I felt left out for a moment there.

"So we headed to Athens again?" Nico asked.

"Yep. Do you think you can shadow-travel over there? I have four people to take already." Kyron asked.

"How 'bout I take someone?" Nico asked.

"Not me!" Rachael yells.

"Or me! Sorry, Nico!" Stephanie says right afterwards.

Course Nico doesn't look offended, he's just that way.

"I'll go, who cares." Katniss says suddenly.

We all look at her like if she's crazy. She doesn't know how shadow travel is. Poor child.

"Okay then I take the redhead, water boy, and the lovely hyper girl." Kyron said casually.

Stephanie giggled and Rachael rolled her eyes.

"Let's do this!" I say impatiently.

"May the gods help us."

~Katniss POV~

"Let's do this!" Percy yells somewhat impatiently.

Kyron then twirled his fingers and they disappeared.

I have to admit I have no idea why I volunteered to shadow travel with this kid. I still have my fear of teleportation. Hopefully shadow travel is a better way to travel.

"Come on, girl." The kid with dark hair and wild brown eyes says.

"I have a name ghost king. It's Katniss."

"As do I! The name's Nico, Nico di Angelo, son of Hades himself." He says proudly.

Let's see….Hades is…either the god of love, death, or water. I do remember he is one of the "Big Three" though.

"Hades is…the god of love, right?" I say rubbing my temples.

"What! Hell no! It's death! Where on earth did you get its love?" Nico said somewhat offended, "I'm the ghost king. The words Ghost king have nothing to do with love!"

"Okay! Death! Got it, give me a break! I just learned mythology ten minutes ago!" I say annoyed.

He just signed and said, "Okay just remember it's death. Now let's get to a shadows to travel."

"Don't worry. Hades will be the god I shall always remember, I swear Nico." I followed along till we hit the shadows of a tree.

He then grabbed my head and he shut his eyes.

All of the sudden we were traveling through this dark world of ghosts. There were things I can't even describe. The scariest things I've seen. I started trembling. Then I heard it. That giggle. I started hyperventilating. I shut my eyes. I thought shadow travel was fast. Then I heard the giggle again and hot breath against me.

"Death!" she screeched in her screechy chalkboard voice.

"NO!" I yelled, "Leave me alone!"

Then I felt someone squeeze my hand. I opened my eyes and saw Nico looking at me like

I'm a freak.

Then the shadows disappeared and we were back to the light of the day. I still felt myself trembling.

"I guess you're another hater of shadow travel now." Nico said a little sad.

"No. I'm a hater of ALL teleportation. I see things and…." I trailed off.

I was still scared. Scared of getting killed like that. Getting killed from the inside-out, places I can't control.

"What do you mean you see things?" He asks worried.

"The first time I've ever teleported I was attacked. I was getting bitten by a demon girl with no eyes and claws. She bit me and I felt death, like my insides were cracking and twisting. I felt it. Then it turned out it was a dream, a nightmare actually. And I heard her voice again right now."

He squeezed my hand and smiled. It wasn't like Percy's smile, though. It was an understanding smile. He nodded and let go.

"I won't let you get killed like that, on my turf."

I smiled back. I'm glad I have people who will protect me. In return, so will I.

I looked at our surroundings. We were on a cliff. I could smell the water.

Then the ground rumbled and the roar of many beasts were heard.

Nico and me turned around and saw this creature with seven heads.

"Hydra!" He yelled.

He took out this black sword about three feet long. He had deep determination in his eyes.

I needed a weapon as well. My bow and arrows would be nice. I had a fun idea. A bit crazy but I did it.

"Artemis! Apollo! Help me!" I yelled.

Nico looked at me like 'What the hell?'

Then magically I had real gold bow and arrows. They felt amazing in my hands.

I aimed and Nico had his sword in had.

"Let's do this, Katniss!"

I nodded.

"Let's party."
