Theme song: Hate (I really don't like you) By: The Plain White T's
(A/N: Okay, we'll start with Damon's POV. I don't particularly like doing guy's points of views as much as girls, so it might be a bit suckish. Sorry! And I just want to tell you, I'm not the type of author who plans anything. I'm just sort of going with the feel. If it sucks, it sucks, but hey, I don't care. In this, Damon and Lex-zi have just made it to camp, so I hope you like it! This chapter is a lot of mixed up love crap. It's funny I think, so enjoy…even Little Neo develops his first crush!)

Damon Duarte's POV.
The hardest thing about being a new kid, is making your rep, and making sure you don't look like an idiot on your first day. Though, at this new place, I quickly found that your parents make your rep. Which in any normal place would be bizarre; however, when your parent is a GOD…well…that just changes everything.
When me and Lex were running from the Goat-Stalker-Boy we ran into a dragon, seeing her nearly killed, and me being the noble stud I am, I jumped in front fully expecting to be killed, on the brightside I wasn't. The fire blazed past me giving me a small warmth but nothing more, no burns, no death. After that, I fai- lost consciousness…saying "fainted" just damaged my pride.
When I woke up I was surrounded by people in orange tee shirts, and stalker-goat.
"Where am I, your goat-cave?" I said sarcastically, not really sure what to make of this place. That's when I was tackled out of the bed, the type of tackle that would make any NFL team stare in wonder. My body hit the floor and a pillow met my face.
"DAMMIT YOU JERK! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! AND YOU KNOW I DON'T AVENGE STUPID PEOPLE!" Lex-zi's voice shouted as she continued beating me with a pillow. I'd never heard of Death By Pillow, but if it was possible, I was half-way there.
Why were girls so violent? How could they look all nice and pretty one second and scary as shit the next? Why did they feel the need to lower my self esteem all the time? What made them act nice to us half the time and be hitting us with pillows are hurtful words the other half of the time? Why were they so emotional and high tempered? All of those questions…I had yet to answer.
I was a guy, and that wasn't going to change, I wish I had some sort of one-way-passage into the mind of a girl, maybe then some of my answers would be explained…when Lex finally stopped beating my head with the pillow she sighed and hit me on the head.
"So, wanna tell me where we are?" I asked.
"Camp Half-Blood. Basically, we're half god, one of the gods got it on with your mom and that resulted in you. This place exists to keep us safe and train us to survive against the monsters. It's a bit shocking at first but you get over it fast. It's a pretty cool place and it's pretty much your average summer camp with lava on the climbing wall, swords, an armory and well, Summer Camp + Ancient Greece + Violence = This place." Lex-zi said. It was funny, when she said things simply like they didn't really matter, it not only helped me understand them, it also made everything less shocking.
"Okay…" I said, "So…do I get to chop peoples head's off?"
Kai Laskaris's POV.
By the time we reached the camp it was around 7, I didn't see anyone around so I figured they were at dinner. We were heading to dinner when I realized something wasn't right…turns out it was Neo, who had been kidnapped by tree-nymphs. After I saved his ass from being prematurely engaged to a dryad, we ate dinner and were reacquainted with the whole camp. Then we had archery knockout in which the Apollo-ians dominated the archery part and the Ares-tonian kids dominated the knockout part. By that time Neo was asleep and the others went to the sing-along while I took Neo up to the room.
That night my mind was rather dream-free. Which was reliving.
The next day I woke up to: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" You can understand my confusion due to the fact it wasn't my birthday. But of course, I'd recognize that overly-happy, overly-hyper and overly-awake voice anywhere. My one question was: Why was Neo up so early? That's when I remembered…he went to sleep early last night.
At five, they reach this point where they fall asleep early and wake up even earlier…so I'd been trying to keep Neo awake until at least eleven so in the morning I wouldn't have to wake up early. Another reason I hated it when Neo woke up early was that he had the childish tendency to open every drawer and explore every little thing including my backpack…
"Neo…what time is it and what are you on?" I asked bitterly. Then I spotted it, the Monster energy drink in his hand. He let out a long burp in response… "C'mon Neo, just go back to sleep…"
"Can't! C'mon! Get up! It's like, six, only old people sleep in!" He shouted in my ears. I thought about my options to dealing with this problem…
1. Duct tape him to the bed and his mouth close
2. Throw him out the window
3. Sedate him…
4. Wake up
Personally, I was leaning towards option one…but that wouldn't have been very nice. That left me with number three or number two. Throwing him out of the window could result in bodily injury and I don't think I want to deal with that so early in the morning. I ran out of sedatives two days ago when…well, it's a long story. That left me with option four, and as much as I hated to do it…
"Fine, what do you want from me?" I asked him, rubbing my eyes.
"LET'S PLAY A GAME!" He shouted loudly. A…game…
"Fine." I said semiconsciously, at the time, I had no idea what I was getting into.
"Okay. TAG! YOUR IT!" He shouted tagging me as he ran out of the room. Wow, I hadn't thought it would be that easy to get rid of him. I face planted into my pillow and fell back asleep…but I quickly jolted open my eyes realizing what type of trouble that boy could get into with no one watching him.
Last night he nearly married a dryad! Leaving Neo unsupervised…that was probably the worst decision of my life. Then again, how much trouble could he really get in in a camp with a lava wall, an armory, a Pegasus stable and a forest full of monsters? … … … …
*Two seconds later*
"NEO! GET BACK HERE!" I shouted as he ran into the Hermes cabin shouting about flying donkeys. He ran out holding a spoon in his left hand as he laughed at me and climbed onto the roof. At this point in time Neo's shirt was half off hanging around his body like a sash, he looked like a crazy barbarian.
"Is there a reason Neo just ran in and out of the cabin half naked?" Hazen asked staring at me perplexed.
As Neo jumped from the roof of the Ares cabin to the roof of the Poseidon cabin. Let's see, a semi-conscious girl vs. a buzzed five year old boy playing tag, who's going to win? I swore as he jumped from the roof and ran into the mess hall laughing his maniacal laugh.
"Kai, why are you up so early? And why are you standing on the cabin roof?" Cole asked coming out from the Ares cabin. I sighed as I jumped down and explained about my Neo-Issue.
"Uhm, do you three need some help?" A voice asked from behind. She had blonde hair and icy blue eyes.
"Doubt you could do anything…but thanks." I said.
"Lex-zi, what are you doing up so early? It's like…three am." Another new voice said, he was Hispanic with swooshy black hair like…emo hair except more…swooshy. He was tall and had just come out of the Hephaestus cabin, I didn't recognize him or the girl.
"Six thirty dummy, and I just heard shouting." The girl, Lex-zi, explained.
"Yo! Kai! What's with the shouting so early?" Ali asked, being a daughter of Apollo, she rose with the sun, she was the only one actually dressed. "WAIT! Let me guess, Neo woke up early, got into your energy-stash and now he's running around hyper and out of control?"
"Correct as always Alison." I said, Ali had this habit of being right most of the time. Guess that also comes with being a daughter of the prophecy god. You'd think my father being the lord of time would've passed down SOME sort of future-seeing-ability but no, Apollo got all of that nonsense.
The only person not here was Valentein, but I wasn't surprised, she was a heavy sleeper and needed her "beauty sleep" so she never woke up earlier than nine, it was like, programmed into her brain.
"HAHAHA! YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME! NEO THE GREAT! JEDI NEO! NEO LORD OF MIDDLE EARTH! KING NEO! NEO THE BEST AUROR OF ALL TIME!" He shouted waving his spoon and a ribbon around like a crazy man. His shirt now fully off…
"Neo the Great?" The swooshy haired boy asked, half laughing.
"Jedi Neo?" Cole questioned…
"Lord of Middle Earth?" Hazen stated.
"KING Neo?" Ali said.
"Auror?" Lex-zi, the blonde girl, said in a monotone.
"Crap, Neo's gone back. He's now Dark Neo." I stated glaring at the spot Neo just stood.
"Dark Neo? Dammit, I hate dealing with him when he's like that." Cole said.
"No kidding, the boy's a psycho." Hazen muttered.
"He's going to burn down the camp…" Ali said for sure.
"Wait? What do you mean, DARK Neo?" The girl, Lex-zi asked.
"Neo has this thing that when he gets super angry or hyper he turns into Dark Neo. It's like he turns back into that little boy we met back in Disney land, but not entirely. He's just more…maniacal." I explained.
Nico was taking a nice walk through the North Woods when he heard the strangest thing…Laughter. It was getting louder and louder and it wasn't soon before the form of a half-dressed boy ran past him. He stared after the boy perplexed. It was too early for this, Nico thought. Am I going insane? Was there really a half-naked boy running through the forest holding a spoon and a ribbon? I thought Bianca was lying when she said that if I didn't get enough sleep I'd begin hallucinating…
Then again, the form looked familiar…it reminded him that boy…Neo. That's when he figured it out, and sighed, feeling compelled to help, Nico melted into the shadows and grabbed the shirt-less boy by the wrist.
"Heh, you are that little boy." Nico stated, "I'm not delusional. I just have a few questions…what's with the spoon, ribbon, and the half-shirt thing?" He asked the younger boy.
"Neo doesn't answer to Being's below him!" The boy shouted as Nico narrowed his eyes and hit Neo over the head. "OUCH! What the heck did you do that for Imbecile?"
"Below you? Imbecile? Who do you think you're talking to you brat!" Nico shouted.
"RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE!" Neo began shouted squirming around in Nico's grip.
"Shut up!" Nico yelled, frustration began building up. As Neo grabbed his sword with his free hand and began swinging it around while still shouting Rape. Nico grabbed the sword and the ribbon, tying the younger boy's hands and feet together in a bind.
"RAPE! RAPE! RAPE! MOLESTOR!" He shouted.
"Do you even know what a molester IS?" Nico retorted.
"Yeah! A creep like you!" Neo shouted back.
"Idiot! It's someone who acts on sexual desire for someone, who the Hades would have sexual desire for a brat like you!" Nico yelled as he put a hand over the boy's mouth, when Neo's teeth chomped down on it.
"FUCK!" Nico shouted removing his hands as Neo tried to hop away but fell face first into the dirt.
"SO now what?" Mr. Swooshy asked.
"Well you see Mr. Swooshy, there are a few methods of-"
"Mr. Swooshy?" He questioned.
"I don't know your name! Anyways, Cole, you get the water, Ali, go get a towel, Hazen, come with me and we'll figure out a way to get Neo." I said.
"My name's Damon Duarte…" Mr. Swooshy said.
"I can help too!" Lex-zi exclaimed.
"Fine, Damon, Lex-zi, you two come with Hazen and me." I said as we ran off into the woods. I heard a loud: "Rape! Rape! Rape!" and knew it was Neo. It was followed by a loud F-bomb that sounded a lot like Nico's voice. I followed the sound and we came to a stop, Nico clutching his hand, and Neo's face in dirt.
"I see you've met Dark Neo." I said, "Nico, this is Dark Neo, a more brutish, more evil, more hyper version of Neo." Neo was spitting up dirt as he laughed.
"YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!" Neo shouted as he bit through the ribbon restraining his legs as that girl, Lex-zi grabbed him and his feet froze in place. She stared, confused, wondering whether she was the one who just did that.
"Lex-zi, who's your Godly parent?" I asked her.
"They don't know yet." She said.
"Khione, it must be." I said. I remembered Mr. Swooshy/Damon coming out of the Hephaestus cabin. I looked at the two, and stared, that's when I spotted it, the Scale symbol, the set of scales, the symbol of Nemesis, it was placed on Damon's neck and Lex-zi's hand…crap. I knew that symbol…
"Why are you talking about THEM! Let's talk about ME! I'm a MUCH MORE EXCITING TOPIC!" Neo's voice snapped me out of it as Cole poured a bucket of cold water on Neo's head. Neo's eyes widened as he stared at us, confused, "U-Uh…where am I? Why are you all staring at me like that?" He asked.
"Is he for real?" Nico shouted.
"What happened?" Neo asked…when the conch horn went off calling everyone to breakfast…
Breakfast-
Cole was arm wrestling with another Ares kid. Ali was talking about The Beatle's with some girl at the Apollo table. Valentein (who was now up and as oblivious as Neo to everything that just happened) was talking about Gucci's summer collection with Mitchell, an Aphrodite boy. Hazen was glaring intently across his cabin's table as he slid across a handful of poker chips to Connor Stoll. While Neo sat next to me at the head table, he was looking dreamily at that girl, Lex-zi across the room. I stared at Lex-zi and Damon both, I couldn't stop staring at those Scale marks…it had been so long since it happened last…
"Chiron, you see them too, right?" I asked him. He nodded gravely.
"I didn't think it would happen again. It's only ever happened thrice before." He said, "We'll ignore it for now, the tattoo's are the only symbols right now, we'll wait to see if the other symptoms set in." I nodded. I stared at Neo to see he was still staring at Lex-zi…he let out a long sigh. I rolled my eyes…but then again, I guess it was kind of cute. His first crush…hahaha.
As the campers began to be dismissed. They all went with their respective parent's cabins to activities. I went to find Nico, it's not like it meant anything, he was just the only person I knew well enough. Neo had wandered off to go stalk that Lex-zi girl. I found Nico skipping out on ancient Greek.
"Hey, sorry about Neo before." I said.
"Oh, it's fine." He said turning his head away, placing his hands in his pockets coolly.
"What do you have next on your schedule?" I asked him.
"Cleaning Stables, usually Percy's here to help with that. Well, usually Percy does it all, he's good with the horses. I think I'll just leave it up to the Aphrodite cabin." Nico said, he sounded sad when he mentioned Percy's name. Then again, I guess Percy was kind of his best friend around here, and now that Percy and Annabeth were out at college…
"You can't just skip your job." I said.
"Sure I can." He retorted, "Watch me." He said as he walked up to an Aphrodite girl. I think her name was Bella. She was a cute brunette. I watched him as he went up to her, smirking his trademark smirk.
"Hey, Bella, right?" He asked, she turned, batting her eyes flirtatiously, I don't think she knew she was doing it, but for some reason, it still annoyed me. She nodded. "Um, well, I couldn't help but notice you're really good with the Pegasus, I can see they like you, and well, I don't know why they wouldn't." She giggled annoyingly. Nico went on, "And, I've never told anyone this before…because, I have a rep to protect, but, Pegasus kind of freak me out." He said shyly, playing it up pretty well to be honest.
"I was just-" He began.
"Sure! I'd love to do it! No problem Nico. And don't worry I won't tell anyone about your secret." She said hopping off, still swaying slightly as she headed towards the stables. I glared at him.
"That's pretty dirty of you." I commented. He shrugged. "But at the same time, brave, I mean, trusting an Aphrodite GIRL to keep a secret like "The Ghost King is afraid of Pegasus". Wow. I'd give it ten seconds before she starts telling everyone." I told him as he went rigid, realizing his mistake.
"Shit." He swore smacking his forehead. "Help me!" He begged. I laughed.
"I could, but…I don't work without payment." I retorted.
"What do you want? Dr. Pepper? Doritos?" He asked desperately.
"Nope, just a favor, one favor and I'll take care of it." I said.
"Fine, deal! I swear it upon the river Styx!" He said as thunder rumbled in the distance. I grinned, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. I headed to catch up with that girl. Bella.
"Bella," I called as I touched her head and reviewed the last few minutes of her cinematic record (Kuroshitsuji: the anime/manga, if you haven't seen it, ignore this part, anyways, the shinigami are allowed to review a person's cinematic record, like a film record of their life) I saw Nico telling her about his secret fear as I snatched that part up from her memory and she went on her merry way.
I'd learned a lot recently about my powers. It was pretty cool I could do that.
I found Nico again and grinned, "It's taken care of. When I need that favor I'll alert you." I informed him.
With Hazen-
Hazen put on the sunglasses he won in the poker game with Connor. They were working on Lunch Preparation, but it was mainly half the cabin was setting up, then the other half would switch and run into the kitchen, steal a handful of snacks and they repeated the process.
"So, dude, think you could hook me up with that Ali girl?" Jeremy, another boy, asked him.
"Uh, no. She wouldn't date you." Hazen told him while setting out a set of silverware.
"What? Is she lesbian?" He asked, Hazen burst out laughing at that.
"Gods no! She just wouldn't date you. You're not her type, she's more into the smart intellectual types. The Athena kids I guess." Hazen informed his friend, as Jeremy fell into depression. Hazen continued to chuckled under his breath at Jeremy's depression. He knew what would cheer him up though. "Dude, come on, I hear they have a cheese cake. Let's go." Hazen said. Jeremy's eyes lit up immediately.
They snuck into the kitchen to "grab more dishes" Hazen's eyes settled on the raspberry cheese cake across the room. It was only a slice, but it was suffice. (ha-ha, that rhymed) They were silent as Hazen walked over to the nymph who was the only one on that side of the kitchen. She looked up and recognized him. "Hey! You're that boy who kept my sister from marrying that little boy!"
"N-Neo? Oh right…that…" Hazen muttered, "Either way, your hair is a lovely shade of green." He complimented her, as Jeremy got closer to the cheesecake.
"W-Whatever." The nymph muttered about to turn around when Hazen grabbed her wrist.
"Honestly. And your eyes are absolutely gorgeous…" He said smirking, leaning in closer, that's when the kitchen door busted open. And of all the people it had to be his girlfriend. There stood a shocked Valentein. Her eyes wide, at the scene of her boyfriend and the nymph.
Her expression calmed as Hazen backed away.
Valentein stormed over to Jeremy, grabbed the cheesecake he was hiding behind his back, walked over to Hazen and smothered the cheesecake into his face. He sighed. Dammit. How did this happen to him?
With Ali & Valentein-
She was heading over to the kitchen, the other cabins devised a plan to send one person from each cabin every fifteen minutes to check on the Hermes kids at the kitchen to make sure they weren't mooching all the food. Ali was heading towards there when a saddened Valentein caught her eyes.
"H-Hey…a-are you okay?" Ali asked.
"Fine." Valentein said faking a smile.
"Let me guess, Hazen was flirting with another girl." Ali guessed. Valentein, like Kai, was beyond being surprised at Ali's amazing intuition. "And by the way, it wasn't my amazing intuition, it's obvious by your expression and denial." Valentein sighed, putting her head on her knees.
"C'mon, you can play that game and stuff and- whatever, right? Isn't that Aphrodite's mantra?" Ali said.
"Two can play at that game." Valentein corrected, with a laugh but she knew Ali was right. She stood up and nodded. That's when Valentein saw a cute boy walk by, he had dark swooshy hair and tanned skin.
"Wow, I didn't think it would be that easy." Ali muttered, "Then again, Aphrodite's have all the luck. Let's go Valentein, I know him…" As Ali grabbed her friend's wrist and walked up to Mr. Swooshy.
"Hey, Damon right? This is my friend, Valentein, you're Hephaestus right? Could you help my friend in the armory? She's kind of a klutz…" Ali said as Damon stared at Valentein with a hazy expression…
With Cole & Neo-
Neo was following the two girls from Khione, but his eyes were only on one. It was strange, but when he saw Lex-zi, it was kind of like…Wow she's hot. Her icy blue eyes and perfect blonde hair…it wasn't like he was stalking her, just following her quietly. They were heading to Javelin throwing with the Ares cabin, because the Khione cabin was so small they went with the Ares cabin during most activities.
Neo sighed in love as he listened to Lex-zi laugh.
"Dude, WHAT are you doing?" A new voice called to him. He jerked around and saw Cole.
"N-Nothing." Neo retorted looking nonchalant all the sudden.
"Right, I'm not an idiot. You're a stalker." Cole stated.
"AM NOT!" Neo shouted at the two girls turned around. Neo saw her face and began blushing. Dammit Neo, stop blushing, it's just some stupid girl. Neo cursed himself.
"Y-You're that boy from earlier." She stated, and then Cole saw what Lex-zi didn't. A javelin, quickly flying her way. Neo was too busy staring at Lex-zi, while Lex-zi was too busy staring at Neo, and Cole was the only one who caught sight of the trajectory of the javelin.
"Get down!" He shouted tackling Lex-zi as the javelin fell right in the spot she was just standing. She turned to Cole with wide eyes. She would have been blushing, but her mother's cold nature kept that from happening, and that, she was very grateful of.
"Th-Thanks." Lex-zi muttered pecking Cole on the cheek. Neo watched the whole seen, crushed. He finally realized why Crush was called what it was. Now, you wouldn't think this would matter much to a five year old, but it did. Every five year old thinks they're the most important thing in the world at that age and as a result they tend to act rather drastically to these types of things.
Lex-zi and her friend ran off leaving Cole alone with Neo. Cole gulped, he felt Dark Neo was close to bursting. But when the young Neo looked up, it wasn't anger in his eyes, it was the complete utter despair that's enough to make anyone feel guilty. Cole immediately wished Neo was angry…but all he got was puppy dog eyes with tears…as Neo ran off. Cole swore and fell against the tree.
"I'm a horrible person…" Cole muttered to himself…
Back to Kai's POV.
"Ha! That's seven to zero my friend." I said grinning at Nico who was lying on the ground. He was bruised, battered, and beaten…again. "Get up, let's go again. You're getting better." I said holding out a hand, he beat it away and stood up on his own, glaring at me this time. He grabbed his sword and ran at me recklessly. We had already agreed not to use our powers, so it was even.
He stabbed at me as I dodged, swung my sword and parried the second blow as I jumped back. He maneuvered to the left, I to the right, glancing off the next jab, I turned fast and he grabbed my wrist, I jerked up my elbow, shocking him as he let go. I swung down and used my leg to swipe him but he jumped and placed his hand on the ground. As three skeletal warriors grabbed me. He held his sword to my throat.
"Cheater!" I retorted.
"Me? You're the cheater! And you're just saying that because you lost." He retorted smugly.
"I'm the sore looser? Have you looked in the mirror recently? Either way I'm still better! And you're the one who was desperate enough to cheat!" I shouted as his death-glare continued to intensify.
"You just can't stand losing!" He shouted as he stomped away. Jeez, what a jerk!
"You lost that battle." Chiron's voice came from behind.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? He CHEATED!" I shouted.
"His pride has been hurt Kai, before you came he was indeed unbeatable here. He was proud of that, and you've hurt his pride. Just give him some time to cool down." Chiron said.
"Still, I DID win." I said coolly.
"You're far too obsessed with winning Kai." Chiron said.
"You say it like it's a bad thing." I retorted with a smirk. "Winning IS everything. Winning is power. The power to protect lies within winning, it's simple. I can't lose." I told him simply.
"No, you WON'T lose." He corrected, forever a teacher, "Sometimes losing is the best lesson."
"Exactly! I've had my fair share of losses." I told him. "Now it's Nico's turn…"
"That's not the smartest way of looking at it Kai. The fact is, that you're still very young, and when you DID lose, it was against and opponent who wouldn't let you learn from that loss." He told me… Kronos. He was my sword play teacher…
"You're wrong. I did learn from my losing against Him. I learned never to give up, I learned if I wanted to survive I had to win, I learned losing is showing weakness and that my enemy will not hesitate to take advantage of that weakness. I learned…that winning, is everything." I said to Chiron, as my sword turned back to it's smaller form.
"Maybe I was wrong about you not learning from losing. I guess I phrased it wrong. What you didn't, haven't, learned…is to accept loss." He stated. "You're the type who never forgets a loss, of any kind." As he trotted away leaving me to think about his words.
I don't Lose. That's what makes me Strong. What does he mean I wont accept a loss of any kind?
No one's POV.
That night, in the Aphrodite cabin Valentein fell asleep, sad over Hazen, happy over Damon, and guilty for using Damon. She indeed liked him, but not in the way she was pretending to.
In the Hermes Cabin, Hazen didn't get much sleep, he was too busy hating Damon and Himself at the same time, and he never thought anyone could hate someone as much as he hated himself.
In the Hephaestus cabin Damon fell asleep, knowing he was being used, and that hurt him, but he would continue hoping she'd truly learn to love him.
While Lex-zi went to sleep thinking about Cole who was lying in his bunk thinking about what a horrible person he was. Guilt was truly eating him away, he couldn't stop imagining Neo's horribly saddened face…he just kept imagining those tears, that pathetically broken expression…
In the Hades cabin, well…it was rather vacant. Nico was away in the woods practicing sword play, he was filled with determination to not be beaten by Kai again. It HAD indeed hurt his pride being so easily beaten. Especially by the person he wanted to be able to protect… It actually made him feel rather useless…
Thing's were complicated, and Kai sincerely began wishing she'd never come there. She herself was left to feel angry at Nico, and guilty too, just simply because Chiron had MENTIONED she'd hurt him. She was also left to ponder his words… Why does that centaur insist on speaking in brain teasers? She wondered.
Neo was the only one who fell asleep grinning that night. Why? You'd think Neo would be the one crying… Well that's simple, being the little manipulator he was, Cole now felt guilty and would stay away from Lex-zi. It all went according to his plan…
(A/N: DONE! What do you think? Things are getting complicated, huh. Well, rather, chaotic to put it better. I think I did a good job at portraying my characters the way I planned to. Neo seems kind of heartless, but most five-year-olds are kind of self-centered… Anyways, please review! And I'm sorry this chapter took so long, I haven't had many ideas and I've had a lot of work. Either way, ideas are accepted and appreciated!)
