This chapter is really short! Sorry I didn't update sooner! I'm actually supposed to be writing a 'spooky' story for English . . . but I got distracted! Haha, and the reason for my delays: 1 to lazy to remember. 2 when I did, my internet crashed. 3 I was too lazy to start from scratch and now I am . . . READ ON!

Nico didn't understand what the importance of an ugly building like this, caused Percy to stop and captivate him. He became even more awkward as time went by. They didn't get to stare at the building long. Soon, much to Percy's dismay, the door started to open. Percy quickly grabbed Nico's arm and shoved him behind a van.

"What the fu-"

"Shh!" Percy interrupted. "Shut up, take up to Olympus." The older prince commanded.

Nico just stared at him, he was starting to get pissed at Percy's weird behavior.

Nico did as he was told, but instead of sending them strait to Olympus, they appeared in the elevator of the Empire State Building. Percy didn't have time to react, in the next half-second, his back was pinned on the elevator wall.

"What are you doing!" Percy bellowed. Clearly becoming furious at his 'so called' friend.

"Shut up! What's wrong with you! You're acting like an ass and I'm getting tired of this! Seriously, there is no reason for you to be upset! You have everything you can ever want Percy! And you have a father that you don't appreciate! So stop being all emotional an-"

"Don't you dare tell me what I can do or not!" Percy's voice echoed off the walls. This time, Nico didn't have time to react. He was slammed into the wall of the slow moving elevator. Nico was speechless, shocked, scared. He never saw Percy like this, was this the same kid that would make him laugh every two seconds? The same kid that would be the life of the party when he was little? The one that comforted him when Bianca left?

No he wasn't, he was the 'prince' now. The one who hides behind a mask 24/7. One full of secrets and confusion.

Nico didn't like it, he wanted Percy to be his friend, not Prince Perseus of the Sea . . .
