SPECIAL THANKS TO DragoNik FOR IDEAS FOR MY STORY!

DISCLAIMER: Why would I be here if I owned the series? I would have also put Thalico in the books, by the way. And just to be clear, I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, that all goes to Rick Riordan. Well, except the plot... No stealing! People who do have no lives!

Fudge. Wow, that has actually grown on me. Anyway, fudge. Annabeth had just seen us in the middle of our kiss. We had no idea what to say, Annabeth's stare never leaving us. I shuffled uncomfortably and looked everywhere but Annabeth and Thalia. I stared at the ground for a good ten seconds seconds until my ADHD kicked in so I looked elsewhere. I studied the cracks in the wall, counting how many there were, and I even estimated when this place would be nothing but rubble. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, I couldn't take the awkward silence surrounding us, so I spoke.

"Gay baby."

"Yeah, I think I'm going to go think about the gay baby's future challenges in life. Poor baby, being teased and bullied," Thalia said, shaking her head sympathetically. We all knew she could care less about that baby's life, she just wanted an excuse to get out of here. She started walking towards the stone entrance of the arena when Annabeth spoke.

"Sit, now. You will tell me what really happened last night," She motioned for us to sit down on the hard arena seats and told us to tell us our real story or we'd be sorry. I don't even want to know what she would do to us. I sighed and began our story.

"Promise no telling other campers? Swear on the River Styx?" I asked to make sure she wouldn't tell a soul.

"I, Annabeth Chase, swear on the River Styx that I will not speak a word that Nico or Thalia are about to tell me to another soul," She said unenthusiastically.

"Well, last night, Thalia came to my cabin to tell me why she really came that first time. She said she come because she really liked me. She stormed out, I followed and kissed her. Unfortunately, Artemis was there and she saw the whole ordeal. So, Thalia was kicked out and now here we are, telling you of our very interesting lives," I said, explaining the past few days complications in a matter of seconds. Wow, I needed more action in my life.

"But, why would you want to keep that a secret?" Annabeth questioned.

"Ah, good question," Thalia said with some sort of humor. "Well, Nico thought of the idea and I asked him the same question. He thought we could make this whole situation just seem like a misunderstanding. Apparently, that didn't work," She cursed her best friend under her breath. I stifled a laugh and Annabeth looked at me, confused, completely oblivious to the string of curses escaping Thalia's beautiful lips.

"Oh, well, I was wondering if someone needed to practise," She said, bringing out her dagger. I smirked and grabbed my sword which was lying on the ground by my feet.

"You're so on," I said, menacingly. Annabeth just laughed at my cockiness.

We battled for some time until, again, I won. She ended up with my sword at her neck, pushed against the wall. I stepped away from Annabeth, turning my back on her. I was about to brag about my win against a child of Athena when I was suddenly on the ground, my face hitting the dry dirt. A blond haired person hovered above me, her dagger across the back of my neck.

"Rule one: Never turn your back on your enemy," Annabeth announced. I rolled my eyes, which is very hard to do with half your face in the dirt, as she moved away from me. "Oh, and I win," Annabeth said to me, a smug smile spread across her face. I glared at her and wiped off myself to sit next to Thalia. I kissed her on the cheek and she blushed. I chuckled at her un-Thalia-ness. I kissed her on the lips the next time.

"Come on, time for dinner," Thalia said unhappily. I groaned, more lying.

I STOOD, I THINK, in the middle of a dark area. I had no clue what so ever if I was even standing or falling, but I knew that wasn't important. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light and I saw what looked like an Iris Message. I saw Percy sitting in a silver throne with a black seat and back. Percy was talking in a voice that wasn't his, it was the voice I dreaded most. Kronos. He was talking to Luke, the second in command now, about the upcoming war, about the prophecy.

"My lord," Luke said as he bowed. "Nico is almost sixteen, only two weeks away until his birthday and the day the prophecy will be fulfilled," So this is in the future.

"Yes, I know," Kronos said, slightly annoyed. "Get on with it."

"Well, my lord, more half bloods are joining their side. Not many have come to us in a few months. We approach, but they refuse. The gods will soon overpower us. What will we do, my lord?" Luke reported. We could have a chance to beat them!

"Kill them. If they refuse, kill them on the spot. But, do anything you can to get them on our side first," Kronos said calmly. He didn't care about any of them. They were just disposable puppets, only there to be manipulated, to be used as pawns to sacrifice to win the overall cause. I glared at them.

"Yes, my lord." Luke responded and backed out of the room. I could hear Luke's muffled voice filled with authority as he barked out orders to the other demigods. Kronos looked at me as if he could see me. But he couldn't, this is just a dream, right?

"I've been waiting, Nico," His greeting sent chills down my spine, causing my blood to freeze. When I regained my composure, I responded just as coldly/

"Kronos," I spat. He just sneered.

"Be ready, child. My army will be there in a few months at most. You and your hopeless army will not stand a chance against me. At least, now that I have your cousins' body and powers along with my own. Be ready," Kronos said as he uncapped Riptide which turned into a five foot long scythe and slashed through the connection.

I bolted upright in a cold sweat. I had to tell Chiron about my dream.

Grabbing a pair or sweatpants and a t-shirt, I ran out the door and bolted towards the Big House. At only five forty-five, I was the only camper awake. But, I didn't care, this was important.

Be ready... be ready... Kronos' words rang in my ears and I bounded up the porch steps and pounded on the door, waiting for a response.

Be ready... be ready...

Ok, you know it's kind of weird to write a story in a guys point of view when your a girl (Hint: my user name! No, duh! Haha! Jk!) I have no idea what's going on in a guys head even though some of my closest friends are guys. Don't even bring him up, DragoNik! You know what I'm talking about *Glares, hoping DragoNik feels uncomfortable* And I was wondering if anyone caught the almost quote from Eclipse (Yes, I'm a Twilight lover. Go team Switzerland!) and if you did, tell me what you think it is.

Anyway, please review! I really want to get ten more but I will still update when I want to, which is ever few days. But just as a heads up, I won't update at all between July 18-30... I'm going to a camp that doesn't allow any electronics.

Thanks! Review! Sorry if you thought this authors note was long because to me it was.
