Okay, so I don't like to post a chapter with just an authors note. Because then readers come, and get all excited.."OH NEW CHAPTER YAY!" Then go and read the chapter and its an authors note. I speak from experience...so, just a warning. If i have something to say, i'll pair it with either; a short bonus chapter OR a short chapter. Now, after that announcement, on with the chapter...

BEFRIENDING NICO. PART IIII.

A day with Nico.

The camp was taken back and devastated by Matthews death. And Jessica, well Jessica...well actually, you'll see about Jessica now.

I sigh and walk to the Aphrodite cabin with a HUGE pack of napkins and some chocolate. I was on my daily trip to the Aphrodite cabin. I walked in and it looked as perfect and organized as usual, until I turned and saw Jessica's bunk. Covered in napkins, and chocolate wrappers, and under that whole mess, was a lump, well actually a human, and to be more specific, Jessica.

"Jessica, hi, its Analise..." I say.

"Ugggghhhh" was her response.

"Um, I brought napkins and chocolate.." I reply.

A pale, slightly chocolate covered hand came out from under the covers. It smelled like chocolate, tears, and drool.

I hand her the stuff and mutter,"Next time i'll bring a big bottle of hand-sanitizer." and walk out.

As soon as I walk out, Nico bounced out from no where.

"Hey Ana, your back from your Aphrodite trip" he smiles.

He was the only person I allowed to call me that, partly 'cus he was too small and innocent for me to snap his neck. I smile and respond,"Yeah, whats up?"

"Nothing much, wanna go to the woods?" He asked

"We'll, I guess we did get interrupted by a dead body the last time.." I smile faintly

"Awesome! I have water and snacks!" He grins holding up two bottles of water and a bag, which I assumed was filled with snacks.

"Let's go then!" I said walking to the woods

We headed off to the woods in silence.

I stab the monster before he attacks Nico and I, watching it explode into golden dust.

''I'm still amazed at how you sensed the monster before it attacked us," he says in awe.

''Its no big deal, it just part of training''

''No training iv'e done'' I comments.

I laugh and reply ''You'll be taught it soon''

I glance at my watch and realize I have the survival class today...in five minutes.

I curse in greek ''I have a class today''

''Now?" asks Nico, sounding kind of meloncholy.

"Yeah''

''Well then you better go. Do you mind if I skip class today? I 'wanna explore the woods some more...''

''Sure, no problem. I'll catch up with you later Nico." I say as I run off to the edge of the woods, leaving Nico by himself...

If anyone is wondering why its so short its because its a bonus chapter. :D Hope you guys enjoyed. I haven't been writing much, but expect at least ONE more chapter up by Saturday or Friday. Errr...happy reading guys! :D 3
