A/N: Mwahaha. All of de homo! :3
Nico
All he could remember was the conversation between him and Mrs. Luzon. She asked about the Camp and details about it. She asked him if he was going to hurt her daughter and Nico just said it'll be a dangerous ride there. Mrs. Luzon was a worrywart, but she knew this was for the better.
"Nico," she started," please take care of my daughter. Look out for her, please? "
"I will. Her siblings will look out for her, too."
The older lady smiled wearily. "You know, Apollo wasn't the only god that came to me. Hephaestus also gave me the blessing of a child. "
She turned to a picture of four people. The demigod raised his brow and looked at the picture, as well. It was Mrs. Luzon with her husband, Lalita, and a little boy.
"When the time is right, could you bring my son there?" she asked. "Not now. Call me selfish, but I want to baby him until he needs to grow up for a while longer. "
Nico nodded quietly. He was staring at Mrs. Luzon, but he could see something in the background that was unsettling. It was a small framed picture of Lalita posing next to a little kid and two women. The little girl seemed familiar, but the background was disturbing. There seemed to be a blur zipping past the four in the picture and it was aiming right for the girl. Nico thought nothing of it at that time but now was different. The scenery changed and Nico was standing right in front of a warehouse, he could hear a really young girl crying loudly.
"Mommy! Mama! I wanna go home! Stop!"
Nico was usually indifferent with the screams of people in pain, but this was different. For one part, it was a live girl and the other was that the voice was familiar. Who's voice it was is just at the tip of his tongue, but who? A breeze brushed past the son of Hades and caused a sign to squeak painfully. A large '07' was on the large door to the place. The only distinguishable thing Nico could see was a flyer for the Central Park Zoo that was flying by on the breeze. Surprisingly close.
"Try if you can, little demigod," a woman's voice chortled. " I will and shall have revenge on your kind. Especially the ones you love, little one."
"No! Don't hurt Mommy and Mama! Please, no!"
The little girl kept wailing, but it grew louder and louder in Nico's ears. The scene ripped into a very dark room. It was hard to see anything besides a rectangle from a light above. He could see shadows of many beings.
"Help me! Mama, Mommy, I don't wanna be here!"
Nico's vision was blurred and he could see anything clearly.
"Nico!"
"Help me!"
"Wake up!"
Chills ran up Nico's spine and he stared at the two by the bed he was in. Lalita had a relieved smile on her face and she let out a breath. Will was next to her with a cup of nectar in hand.
"Geez Louise, Nico! Don't give a girl a heart attack like that," Lalita said dramatically. "You okay?"
Nico stared at her. "Okay?"
"Yeah," Will intercepted," You were tossing and turning in your sleep. I told you not to do any Underworld-y stuff."
"Will, it's been a year since you've nagged be about that. Calm down," the son of hades commented in irritation.
Lalita turned away and hid her large grin with her hand. She couldn't suppress the small giggle the escaped her. Will and Nico both looked at her at the same time. Both of them had a confused look on their faces.
"What?"
"Nothing! Just being happy you're okay!" the daughter of Apollo chirped. "Anyway, what's gonna happen next, my totally cute couple?"
"What happens next is that Nico gets some rest," Will sternly pushed Nico's chest so he fell back down on the bed. "And you, my newly acquired sister will attend lunch. Go ask someone from the cabin to take you to the pavilion."
"It's lunch already?" Lalita blinked.
A suddenly loud horn blared through the camp and surprised the son of hades and the daughter of Apollo.
"Now it is. Now go!"
Lalita saluted him and ran off to find someone to help her to the pavilion. That left Nico and Will awkwardly alone.
"So Lalita already figured out we're a couple?" Will looked at him with a brow raised.
"She may have walked in when her mother asked me if I was gay."
"Ah. She probably got the hint when I called you Sunshine, too."
"No duh, Medical Boy."
"Oh shush, Death Boy."
Will leaned over the medical bed to give his boyfriend a sweet kiss. Nico immediately wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck to deepen the kiss. They separated and Will let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"What was that for?"
"Because it's been awhile since I've kissed you."
"Will, I've been gone for two days. I could've been gone a month."
"Exactly," Will huffed, "I want to cherish this moment for as long as I can, Sunshine."
Nico rolled his eye. "You're such a sap."
"You know you like it."
"Of course. That's why I'm still in a relationship with you after a year."
Jaylin searched for someone who seemed like they were willing to help a bro out. She spotted that Percy guy walking that same direction as all the other people with a blonde girl next to him. She suddenly felt very nervous to go up to him. Last time, she really did sassy him, and she wasn't really thinking. She was having an internal meltdown when someone placed a hand on. She jumped and spun around to be face to face with a girl.
"Hey, if you're even remotely thinking of dating Percy, you should realize he's taken," the girl remarked.
She blushed in embarrassment. "No! I just came here and I saw that guy at first. I was kind... um... thinking of asking him if he knew where the pavilion was."
The girl snorted. "Why not follow the crowd?"
Her blush deepened. "Why not butt in?"
The girl chuckled. "Feisty. I'm Emma Hanley, daughter of Ares. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Lalita Luzon, daughter of Apollo."
"Again, nice to meet you. I'll take you to the pavilion if you really need an escort, milady," she mocked.
Lalita looked down in embarrassment and kept going. As they walked, she took in mind what she looked like. Emma was buff, but not to the point that she looked like Goku from Dragon Ball. The daughter of Ares had long wavy brown hair tied back. She was wearing an orange camp t-shirt and some shorts. From the description, one might of thought she was normal, but something about her made Lalita blush easily. She couldn't tell. She started to notice how much she was embarrassed when she just arrived at camp. It was weird how open she was to Nico, and how easily trusting she was of him. There was some gut feeling that made her knew that he was okay. Maybe it's because she was the daughter of Apollo? He was the god of prophecies, no? Maybe she knew Nico was a good guy because of her genetic gut feeling. Okay, gut feeling is a weird way to put it. She's decided to call if her godly spidey sense tingling. No, maybe her Prophetic-y senses. It's better than nothing.
"Lalita?"
She was snapped out of her musing and looked up to Emma. Darn her short height. She had bumped into Emma without even realizing it.
"Sorry!" she apologized. "I was distracted. "
Emma chuckled. "It's fine, but you probably want to go to the table with the blonde kids with the bright smiles. Don't worry, you're not the only non-blonde child of Apollo. There're Patrick and Maddie who are both brunettes."
Lalita thanked the child of Ares and found a table with tons of blondes and two brunettes. She sat down at the edge of the table. All the kids looked to her.
"Who're you?"
Lalita felt uncomfortable about their stares but managed to answer. "I'm Lalita, daughter of Apollo. I just got here."
"Well then, it's nice to meet you. I'm Austin," a boy in the middle of the table waved.
All the Apollo kids introduced themselves and asked Lalita about herself. She felt relief after her new siblings basically accepted her as part of the group. Then someone stood before all the campers. The guy was in a wheelchair and he looked very wise. Lalita didn't pay in mind with him very much until he spoke up.
"Campers! We have three new demigods joining us today! Please meet Lalita Luzon, daughter of Apollo; Emilio, son of Hypnos; and Quin Macy, son of Iris. Please make these demigods feel at home."
Lalita spotted two boys standing up, so she stood up as well. She took note of the two guys. There was one guy who was obviously a latino with black hair. He looked pretty tired and seemed like he just woke up. The other was a normal caucasian guy with brown hair. He was wearing a rainbow colored tee. The latter must be Quin and the former must of been Emilio. All three sat down and the guy continued on.
"You three may or may not know, but I am Chiron. This is Camp Half-Blood, one of the few havens in the world for demigods. Tonight, we have Capture the Flag, so campers must prepare for it. Please remember no maiming or you will be forced to clean the stables and loose your dessert privileges. Hecate Cabin, please do not turn anymore Hermes kids into pigs. Hermes Cabin, please do not mix up all of the items that the Hecate Cabin use for potions and spells. That is all."
Lalita looked at him like he was crazy. Camp Half-Blood sounded more like Camp Half-Crazy now.
