HOLA FANFIC PEOPLES!

HOW YOU DOIN'?

I'm IN A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GOOD MOOD AND WAS LIKE "OH, I SHOULD PROBABLY WRITE!"

AHHHHH!

…..ok. I'm done….

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO….I'm working on it, though!

Nate: No, you're not! You're just sitting on a bean bag with your laptop, eating a pear!

Me: I WILL KILL YOU, SCOTT!

Scott: *gulps* technically, I have to be in the story!

Me: It's my story!

Nate & Scott: NOOOO—!

Me: *hits them with hockey stick* Hehe…that was fun. I need to get me some more sporting equipment…

Mori's POV

Mori, you're forbidden. The words zoom through my head, over and over, again. Forbidden.

I break the silence. "What do you mean, forbidden?"

Chiron sighs. "Mori, no child of Thanatos is supposed to be good at archery. Your father and Apollo had an argument centuries ago, and Apollo said that his children will be forever cursed with no skill of archery. And then, here you are, being able to always hit a bull's eye. Plus, Thanatos hasn't had a daughter since—"He stops

"Since who, Chiron?" I ask.

He shakes his head. "Katerina,"

Annabeth gasps. "She was real?"

"Who was real?" Reis asks, confused.

Annabeth says, "There— there's an old myth I found when I was going through the scrolls in the Athena cabin. One was the myth of the last daughter of Thanatos…" Chiron nods gravely.

"Katerina, daughter of Thanatos; lover of Aalok, son of Apollo. " He looks up at me. "To be honest, you look just like her."

"Who Chiron? What happened to her?" Percy asks.

"Katerina and Aalok fell in love. A daughter of death, and a son of light and healing. They were a forbidden couple; their parents despised each other." He smiles at Percy and Annabeth. "But, of course, Katerina was stubborn. They dated anyway. However, when Aalok died in battle, Katerina was so upset, she killed herself. Thanatos vowed never to have a daughter again. Only sons. And, he kept that vow….until now,"

I put my heads in my hands and Reis says, "And what about the archery?"

Chiron shrugs. "I imagine Thanatos will be speaking to Apollo about that."

I stand up and start walking to the door. "Mori?" Reis calls. I ignore him and walk out, slamming the door for good measure.

So what if he had another daughter? Just because Katerina killed herself? I mean, he is the god of DEATH! It shouldn't matter if his daughter killed herself! Plus, that was centuries ago! That's long time! So what if he had another girl?

I slump down a tree and sit against it, hugging my knees.

I hadn't even realized where I was until now. I'm in the same clearing Nico found me in. Well, I think, this is officially my place.

"Thought I'd find you here,"

I jerk my head up and see Nico and am suddenly self conscious of what I'm wearing: black, jean booty-shorts (as Stella calls them), a black t-shirt with a white rose and vines that shows my figure off, a black jean jacket, and my dirty black converse. My hair is pulled back into a tight braid and my bangs hang in my eyes.

My hair has blue highlights and my bangs are part blue also.

"You okay?" He asks me.

I shake my head. "All I ever wanted was a family. A real, loving family. The kind I never had. When Chase told me…I don't know. I guess I thought things would be different, you know? And then, I come here and they treat me like…"

"Like you're an outsider?" He finishes. I nod.

"Exactly,"

He sits down next to me. "I get it. My dad…the Big Three, they made a pact after WWII; no more children. I'm a son of Hades."

"So…Hades broke the oath?"

Nico smiles. "Nope. Actually, Zeus and Poseidon broke it. Zeus had Thalia, who's now a Hunter of Artemis. Reis told about them right?" I nod. "Yeah, she's the lieutenant. And Poseidon had Percy, as you know. But Hades, he had me and my sister before the pack was made. Then he put us in the Lotus Hotel and Casino. We thought we were in there for a few months, but it had been about seventy years. He didn't break the oath he just—"

"Found a loophole?" I finish, smiling.

He smiles, too. "Yeah. A loophole,"

I nod. "He's smart. If he hadn't of done that, Zeus probably would have killed you and your sister. Speaking of which, where is she?"

A look of sadness comes on his face. "She joined the Hunters and died on a quest."

I cover my mouth with my hands. "Oh, gods, Nico. I'm so sorry!" I pause. "You know, I lost my mom."

He nods. "Me too,"

I sigh. "She drank. And she beat me. And then drove and died. My brothers…the human ones, they were so young. They still are…Is there any way I can call them?"

"No cell phones at camp, they attract monsters. If they know about the gods, you could Iris message them?"

I shake my head. "No. My mom didn't even know so I doubt my aunt does. Forget it, its okay."

"I'm sorry," Nico says suddenly.

I cock my head. "About what?"

He sighs. "Chiron just dumped that on you…I can't imagine how lost you must feel. How confused you are." I shrug.

"I come to camp, am told I'm not supposed to be alive, that I'm forbidden, and that I was basically a mistake. Yeah, I'm a little lost."

"I know," He says softly. "Well…tell me about yourself?"

I laugh. "Okay. Um…I'm almost 13. I love black, hate school, live with my aunt and two half-brothers, my mom's dead. Oh, and my dad left. Um…my favorite song is either Leave the pieces by the Wreckers, or The Last Night, by Skillet." Nico grins. "What?"

He says, "I love those songs. Skillet's the best band in the world!"

I laugh. "Isn't it?"

I don't know how long we talked. I actually don't care. We talked and talked and talked until the dinner bell rung.

"Oh my gods, how longs have we been out here?" I ask.

Nico shrugs. "A while, I guess,"

He grabs my hand (I didn't blush, I just got a little hot) and leads me to the pavilion. Everyone gapes at us as he stops at my table and whispers in my ear, "Meet my by the woods, tonight at midnight,"

I smile big. "Okay," I whisper back.

Aeron raises an eyebrow at me as I sit down. "What?" I ask innocently.

Drake shrugs. "Oh nothing, just that you fell off the face of the Earth for about ten hours, then came out of the woods holding di Angelo's hand. Oh, and you missed all your classes." Adrian hits him on the shoulder.

"Wow, bro. Good to know you trust me," I say sarcastically.

"What's with you and the woods anyway?" Aeron asks.

I shrug again. "It's the only place I can think,"

We walk up to the brazier and I throw in my best pair. Again, tell me something. Help me not be lost, I walk back to our table and munch on my apple.

That night, we ditch the campfire. We go to our separate rooms.

I wait till 11:55 to open my window. I easily slide out and close it part-way. Making sure to stay hidden, I sprint over to the edge of the woods and wait.

My back to the woods, I keep an eye out for Nico.

An arm wraps around my waist and a hand covers my mouth. I kick and try to scream until someone says, "You know, you could bruise me,"

I look up to see Nico, smiling.

I shake my head. "Damn you. You scared the crap out of me!"

He smiles even bigger. "That was the point."

Done! So what do you think about the story/myth? I made it up :) and what do you think of Mori and Nico?

Let me know!

Ok, REVIEW, steal a pen, paint your face purple, and always remember to keep a roll of duct-tape with you at ALL times!

BYE!
