I am BACK. Well um, this chapter is divided to three parts, well... kinda. XD There's what's happening with Nico, then with Percy, then what's happening at camp half blood. I hope you like it XD REVIEW. PLEASE. XD *I'm going to keep on reminding you to do so. ENJOY! =D*
…
Hades was holding back information's, or so Nico was told by his, what you can call, spies. They weren't any casual unimportant info's, because they were about his Percy. His... He wasn't sure that was quiet right yet. He wasn't even sure it's ever going to be. Nico's cheeks reddened softly at the thought of Percy being his, and only his. Another thought interrupted and pushed that one away, drawing a frown onto his pretty face. What's his dad hiding? He knew Percy was not his favorite, and he also knew he must have his reasons. It pained Nico that his father shows no emotion at all towards him. He tried to deny that it doesn't bother him, but well, who's he kidding? Though, after so many years, he was NOT going to try and change him. He thought about how much years he spent in the lotus casino, and how he never bothered to visit. Nico rolled his eyes at himself, he was being such a little girl, and he was being a teenager. Was he a teenager? He was probably not younger than eighty; he didn't age at the lotus casino so those years didn't count, right? What if they did? It would freak Percy out... He did catch Percy checking him out before, but what if he was wrong? Because if he WAS wrong, whatever friendship he had with Percy would get flushed down the toilet.
Nico sighed and shook his head as he got closer to the palace, preparing himself for the argument he was going to have with his father. He opened the palace's doors and walked straight to the throne room, opening the doors confidentially, and he stared in disgust at the scene in front of him. Hades had Persephone on his lap with his hand up her dress. Nico waited as his father whispered for Persephone to leave. She growled at him and transformed into a ball of light before disappearing, leaving the scent of flowers behind.
"Do you think this is a stupid game?!" Nico asked angrily. Hades looked at his son with disapproval, "How dare you speak to me like that?" He responded calmly, "Ill burn you where you stand, boy."
"Would you?! Because I'm all you have left. I care about Percy and I want to help him. I hate to see him suffering like that! And when I have some hope that I might be able to, that someone knows something, I remember that that SOMEONE doesn't even give a fuck!"
"You're right; I don't care about that arrogant child of my brother! And I do not approve that you get involved with him!" Hades yelled back. Nico pulled at his hair desperately, "You. Are. SO. FUCKING SELFISH. You're letting the differences between you and you're STUPID BROTHERS, make an innocent person who's saving your ass suffer!"
Hades sighed, "I don't want you to get hurt Nico. You're important."
"I AM HURT! You only care about yourself! You only care about what's going to happen to YOU. You never think about how I'M FEELING! I-…H-How could you even DO SUCH THING?! How could you sit there and do nothing when you're the only one who might be able to HELP?! He has a family! He has a mother who's worried SICK! Poseidon would have helped if it was me in Percy's place and you know that!" Nico yelled at him, he was trying really hard not to lose himself completely, but his dads calm replies really got on his nerves.
"You think coming here and yelling at my face and insulting me, would make me tell you anything?" Hades said a smile on his face.
Nico growled, "No, but I know what would. Only if I stop doing what I'm supposed to do, since I'm the prince of the underworld, would get the dead furious. They'll rise against you, and then Zeus wouldn't be very happy, hmm?" Hades' smile was swiped off his face in mere seconds, and was replaced by a frown. Nico couldn't help but smile, "You have three days. I'll be in my room." Hades was furious, "Are you threateni-" Nico cut him off, "Yes, Yes I am Father." He said the last word mockingly, and in seconds, he was gone and back to his room.
There was an irritating sound, faint, but still there, still there interrupting his deep peaceful sleep. He picked the phone up and answered it lazily, "Hello...?"
"FINALLY! Percy, Man, you got us worried!" Percy heard Grover say through the other side of the phone. "Why are you calling...? Just Iris message, this thing is annoying when it rings..."
Grover growled, "Well WE TRIED. You're sleep is deeper than Tartarus! We thought you were dead! Oh and you have some new admirers, they think you're sexy when you're drooling in your sleep" Percy laughed softly, "Well, what's so important that you decided to use a cell phone to call me? We never use cell phones... What's up?"
Grover groaned, Paused, then spoke again, "Check the date, Percy." Percy frowned and got up to do so before stopping, eyes wide, "It's... It's my birthday..."
"Yes, yes it is. And it's raining monsters down on us here at camp, so don't even THINK about coming here-" "Too late G-man." Percy replied; already out of his bed and changing.
"Percy, no! You have to go somewhere safe! Olympus, g-go to Olympus it's safe there. Don't come here it's dangerous!"
Percy rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to Olympus Grover. I have to go now, I'll be there in a few, okay?"
"Percy don't. Don't you DARE hang up on me!"
"Bye Grover." Percy replied before hanging up.
Grover stared up at Chiron with apologetic eyes, "Well... You know Percy..." he shrugged. "I'm sorry…"
Chiron sighed, "We need to tell the others to keep the monsters from leaving and attacking Percy." Grover nodded and they both headed out, seeing the monsters backing away and starting to leave camp, "STOP THEM! THEY'RE GOING AFTER PERSEUS!" Yelled Grover. The campers looked alarmed and ran in the direction of the escaping monsters, keeping them busy from Percy, even if for a little while. "EVERY CABIN TAKES ITS POSITION! THIS IS WAR!" Cheers of battle followed Chiron's words, the kids of Apollo climbing on top of the cabins with their bows and arrows. Children of Ares attacking directly with their weapons along with the Hephaestus kids, the other cabins setting up simple quick traps and attacking from behind the Ares and Hephaestus cabins, the camp becoming a battle field.
….
A/N: I think this was a tiny bit longer than the other chapters. I'm proud of myself! But I hated how the chapter ended. I couldn't make up a good finishing XD So as you can see, the action has begun. I really liked the argument between Nico and Hades. Can't wait to hear from you and know what you think! Please review, bye bye until next time!
