Hey every one! I'm back again. So I have to admit the last chapter was not one of the best. Actually, it was rushed because of the wonderful reviews I had from chapter 3. And I thank the wonderful reviewer of the last chapter and I am glad you like Kiara. :)
So Kiara is a Girl of multiple personalities, and she somehow can be compared to a Mary-sue. But, for her flaws, I'll have to include it in this or next chapters and please tell me what you think.

A week has passed since the time I was claimed. It was mostly spent in testing my powers or hanging out with Nico or Annabeth or Percy or Tyson. But truth is, I still am afraid of Tyson. He looks like he'll trample me accidentally or something so I stay away mostly. Annabeth was always busy with the whole ' Olympus redecoration plan' so I don't get too see her much. That left me with Percy and Nico. Well Nico actually cause Percy and I seemed too awkward together alone. If you get the whole, half-siblings drift.
" *Thud*", a loud object dropped next to me, followed by a groan. " Kiara, will you just throw these rocks away?" Percy said.
" Sorry big brother but no can do." I smiled. It was still a question of Nico's sanity and my luggage that Nico chooses to talk about. He always sees me with the same shirt and decides to bug why my suitcase was so heavy.
" Put them away please." He said with authority.
" Fine." I grumbled, shoving the rocks to the corner. Only Percy was irritated with these rocks. Tyson found it entertaining watching some of the rocks sparkle in the moonlight.
" By the way, Nico seem to ask everyone where you are. He seemed a little angry." I gave him a confused look.
" By angry, do you mean drag you to hell angry or just person angry?" I asked. He just shrugged, " Something about pink." And then it hit me. I mean it literally hit me at the back. A little stone was wrapped in paper and hit me through the open window.
I looked down on the paper and found a neat handwriting on it.
'You have 30 seconds to run and hide for turning all of my shirts pink'
Oh gods no.
(flashback)
" Nico why do you wear all black?", I asked one afternoon when us, me and Nico decided to take a walk on the beach.
" just cause." , he said with a shrug.
" I swear Nico, one day, you'll see how you look great in any color."
" Except pink." He said with a grin. I nodded. This camp had too much pink already. To prove my point, an Aphrodite kid in a two piece bikini walked right in front of us and gave Nico a wink before giving me a glare.
"Yuck." Nico exclaimed while I fake gagged.
" I know." I said and formed a plan in my mind. Boy I can't wait for it to be revealed.
(end)
I ran outside leaving Percy to shove the rest of the rocks to the side and hid at the top part of a tree in the middle of the woods near Zeus' fist. Or as I like to call it 'Manure Pile'.
It was the perfect hiding place. You could see the whole camp in the shelter of the spot. Well if Nico did find me, there is now way he'll catch me.
" Kiara! I won't hurt you! Come out and play will you? Come on." Nico yelled near the manure pile, wearing his Levis pants, black converse and baby pink shirt. I stifled a laugh in my hand. It was one thing to dye his shirts and another to see him actually wear them.
I saw him look at my direction and grin evilly. I turned around and began to climb down when a pair of arms grabbed my waist and pulled me in. I gasped and saw Nico behind me smirking.
" No fair Nico! No shadow travel." I totally forgot how he can follow me with shadow travel.
" Who said anything about fair. All is fair in love and war." He said matter-of-factly.
" I'm guessing it is not one of love's?" I asked quietly.
" Correct. And your prize is making all of my shirts back to black!" he said
" What if I won't?" I asked testingly. He raised his arms and made me turn to face him he tickled the sides of my tummy. I nearly fell off the tree from laughing too hard.
" Okay!-No need to become feisty!- stop!" I said between laughs.
" Good. Now turn this back to black."
"Problem Nico." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly.
" What?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
" Er.. I kinda borrowed the dye from an Aphrodite kid and she said that pink is all the color they got." I raised my palms as defense.
"No WAY!" he yelled. Before he could reach me again, I jumped off the tree and sprinted to cabin 3 without looking back even if my feet hurt from the height that I jump from.
And that is how I spent the afternoon.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
I walked down the pavilion to offer my sacrifice to Poseidon. As I walked back, I tripped over a foot of an angry Nico fan girl and well, fell. I don't know why they were so angry suddenly. I mean, I didn't steal Nico away from them did I? We were just friends.
'Yeah with feelings with each other.' A voice in my head said. Wow, am I that crazy that I could hear voices in my head?
Back to the falling part. Well, if you put it this way, I luckily grabbed on the bench that stopped my fall. Unluckily, my food went straight to the expensive shirt of Izzy.
Izzy was a friend of mine when I was 5. She was there even after my mom died. We grew up together then when she moved, I never saw her again. Well, after 4 years, I saw her again in camp. But she was different. She never spoke to me. She would hang out with other kids and made fun of some other camper's mistakes. In short, a total bitch.
" Sorry! I'm sorry!" I chanted reaching to wipe the barbeque off her shirt when she smacked my hand away.
" Why are you such an attention hugger!" she screamed, standing up.
" What are you talking about?" I asked shocked. It was the first time in 4 years, the time when we were still friends in our neighborhood.
" Do you think I can't see what your doing? Getting attention because she's the new child of the big three. Always flirting with Nico." She scoffed, " As if he'd actually fall for you." I never knew she was actually a fan girl
" What-", she cut me off.
" Oh don't pretend to be innocent. Nobody's perfect. You want me to point out your flaws?" she turned to the now crowding campers, " you hide all your pain beneath that happy-go-lucky- attitude of yours. You treat anybody as a friend but never let out what you truly feel. You hide them with your fake joyful emotion. You don't want anybody to become a close friend since Xavier betrayed us. And most of all, you never let down your walls because you expect to be hurt in return like what Xavier did.", she snapped pointing a finger at me every time she made a point.
" What?", Nico asked, stunned, at the entrance of the pavilion.
" You heard my. Ask her if you want to know the truth.", she said with much venom in her voice as possible.
" I- I..", I stuttered. I knew all those flaws she pointed out except the whole flirting part. I never knew what to do so I did the most reasonable thing, I ran. I ran and ran, past confused campers, past trees and past thorny bushes that scratched my legs, but I didn't care. All it mattered was getting away from here. I don't want to be the weird kid again. The one that can't show her feelings because of fear. But all it was true. About the happy-go-lucky part and about Xavier.
But for now, all that mattered was running. I ran out of the field and into the forest. I saw a cave here before, and only now did I know where to go.
It started to rain, heavily. Weird, because I knew it never rained unless we wanted to. So maybe this is what I wanted to happen. To release all the pain away with the rain.
