Nico's eyes widened and his sword slipped from his fingers and stuck its self in the dirt. The flames in the camp fire shot high into the air. The heat was unbearable causing everyone to jump back. A figure emerged from the fire wearing trailing black robes that seemed even darker due to his pale skin. His black hair blended in perfectly with the robes and just looking at him made me want to run and hide in my bed with the covers pulled tight over my head.
"Foolish DEMIGODS!" He bellowed. "How dare you destroy my CABIN!" Faces formed in the folds of his robes and he walked towards the ruins of his cabin.
"FATHER!" Nico regained his composure and grabbed his sword. "Father, calm down. Monster's invaded the camp. We'll find out who did this." Nico shrunk back as his father turned and stared at him.
"I knew my brother's did not want any sign of my existence at this camp." The anger melting out of his voice until it was completely deadpanned, no pun intended. "Monsters cannot enter this camp uninvited, which means one of these worthless demigods intended for this to happen."
"Father I will find out who did this." Nico stressed the word will.
"Of course you will. If you don't you will beforbidden to return to this miserable place seeing as my Brothers and Sister don't want any of my children here." With that he started to glow and we all shielded our eyes as he revealed his true form and went back to the underworld.
The camper's all hustled after the departure of Hades, the Ares cabin scouring the woods for more monsters and the Apollo cabin healing the injured. Everyone pitched in on the clean up, except for Nico. Once his father left his attention was glued to his cabin. As it got darker out Chiron called for Nico and I to meet him outside the Big House.
Turns out Camp Half-Blood wasn't any safer than New York. I'd have to tell mom I was right. I was able to get Nico to come to the Big House with me. From what I had heard from campers and from my short experience with him, Nico was a force to be reckoned with. Most of the camp was afraid of him, or felt uncomfortable around the short son of Hades.
The Nico that trailed behind me was not the same Nico. This Nico looked like a person who had lost everything. The expression on his face resembled the homeless people who wandered the streets back home. He had dried blood dripping down his arm and dirt clung to his clothes. All I wanted to do was wrap my arms around him and tell him everything is going to be okay.
"You two were the first to see one of the monsters; did you happen to any other demigods around you?" Chiron ask running his hand through his beard, his tail flailing madly.
"No sir." I told him exactly what happened in the best detail I could. My eyes kept wandering over to Nico, who only nodded along to what I was saying.
"Okay. Tomorrow you two are to begin the search for whatever Demigod did this. After Luke we designed a way to keep track of every person who crosses our borders. Earlier today a demigod entered camp and then left after the destruction of Hades cabin."
When Chiron said Hades Nico snapped out of his daze. "Whatever Demigod did that is going to spend an eternity with the Furies." Nico said with pure rage in his voice.
"Nico, calm yourself. You, Bobby and one other will leave tomorrow on your quest. Go and get some rest for tonight. Bobby do you mind if Nico bunks with you for tonight?" Chiron asked. Under any other circumstances I would have been elated, enthused and lots of other amazing feelings, to have Nico in my bed for the night. But tonight would be different from the other nights I had someone in my bed. I nodded my head, grabbed Nico and led him to my cabin.
He was still fuming, which was thousands of times better than him a broken shell of himself. To be completely honest his anger was frightening, but also alluring. Ancient Greek and modern curses where flowing from his mouth as he paced around my room. He told me all the specific details on how this Demigod was going to spend eternity in the Fields of Punishment.
I sat there and let Nico continue until he wore himself out. He leaned against the wall and slid down until he was sitting on the floor. His hands shaking. "I thought it was one of the campers here at first." He whispered. I went and sat next to him and let him continue. "They never felt comfortable around me. Except Annabeth and Percy, but she's up in Olympus and Seaweed Brain is out on vacation with his mom and step dad. It wouldn't have surprised me if they had done."
"I'm comfortable around you." I wrapped my arm over his shoulders. Gods, hearing the hurt in this kid's voice made me want to go beat each and every camper senseless.
"You barely know me. Pretty soon you'll be just like the others, staying as far away of poor, creepy, little Nico." He tried to get up but I held on to him.
"Nico, I'll never avoid you, unless of course you sprout horns and turn into a Minotaur." He chuckled softly and then latched onto me tears falling from his eyes.
"Gods I'm pathetic." He mumbled into my chest. "Bianca should be here instead of me."
"Nico, never ever say that." I grabbed his chin and tilted it up. "You deserve to be alive. The Titans would have won without your help. Plus I would be out of an awesome sword partner." And I have all these crazy intense feelings for you, bubbling up inside me. "You kicked ass out there, that dracanae would have killed me if it weren't for you."
He stopped crying and smiled. "How about we get you showered up and then well go to sleep so we can go find the fucker and send his ass to visit your dad?" He smiled for an instant and he look even more amazing beautiful then the entire Aphrodite cabin. But then he frowned.
"I don't wanna go out there, with all the others." He mumbled with a determined look on his face.
"You don't have to. I may have persuaded the designers to add a shower to my cabin."
He looked at me and smiled. "Persuaded?" He asked knowingly.
"Shut up. So go shower, and we'll go to sleep, find our third in the a.m. and be on our vengeance filled way." I got and lifted his tiny frame off the floor, and pushed him towards the bathroom.
Gods he's cute. How is it that I can bed almost any boy or girl in this world, and this kid has got my stomach doing flips? As the bathroom door swung shut, the whole room filled with a pink light and the scent of roses, strawberries, and vanilla. I instantly recognized the last time I smelt such an intoxicating smell. "Hello, my lovely grandmother." I spun around to face the striking woman elegantly perched at the corner of my bed.
