Chapter 16?

Nico's POV

TheShadows

AftTest

I was explaining the concept of shadow traveling to the newbies. But they kept cutting me off.

"Enough!" I tell them. And I think they kind of flinch and I felt guilty, I mean, this must be rough for them. I sigh.

"Look, how about this. I'll do all the talking, take you to the place I'm taking you to and show you the film I'm showing you then you bombard me with your questions?" I ask them, the boy, Rave, seemed to nod, but Yzabel paused before agreeing. Sheesh, if her eyes were grey, I'd say she was Lady Athena's kid.

"Okay, here's the thing. . ." I started telling them about the gods and the basic. They didn't interrupt me once. Yzabel did, but she stopped herself.

"I'm a son of Hades," I say and was cut because I don't think Yzabel could take it anymore.

"Who's my father?" She asks.

"I don't know, but if we're lucky, both of you will be claimed, that's when the symbol of your parent appears on top of your head, right now when we go to camp. If we're not lucky, maybe two to three days from here, er, give or take a day" I tell them. They nodded.

"Now, I'm sure you think I'm crazy"- - they nodded in affirmation. Jeez they're annoying- - "But, as a son of Hades I can teleport you, sort of, to the camp right away, using the shadows. Now, you two are going to hold my hand all the way, okay? You're not going to let go. It won't hurt, promise, and we'll be back at Camp in no time"

"What happens if we let go?"

"Hmm, you'd get stuck in the shadows, and once you get stuck you keep on wondering in the shadows, and once your lost in the shadows, no one will be able to find you" I reply and I hear Rave gulp. Poor kid.

"Now are both of you ready?" I ask. They nod. I took their hands and we ran into the shadow. I hear Rave scream "This is awesome!" I grin. I think I'm liking the kid.

And before you know it, we stepped out of the shadow into the big house.

I hear the both of them gasp and now they're shooting me questions. Luckily, Chiron was just there by the door IMing the guys.

He saw us and quickly ushered the two new demigods to watch the film. I was briefed by the guys and was told that apparently OUR EFFING PRINCIPAL WAS A DAUGHTER OF ATHENA

Wow. So, right, right, anyway, she had no idea about the mortals with the Sight and stuff.

We talked about keeping our identity secret, and then the principal fast forward our application to the other curriculum through email via Annabeth's laptop

She talked about the conditions of the curriculum, about how, for example, if you passed the robotics department test, you're required to like join them and stuff. So it was kind of like a scholarship program, only that instead of meeting standards for free tuition, we meet standards for entrance to the curriculum

We get to choose our own sked and we kept it organized and stuff. And then, the principal told us to transfer to the other side of the dorms, further away from the others'

Apparently, all of the people with Sight are in the same curriculum as we are in so we had to be extra careful. And then there's the fact that we were placed in a house that was farther from the other elite's dormitory and even farther from the normal people's category

Anyway, it was actually really meant for us in the first place. Chiron arranged it with the principal before, but the principal put us here first to not arouse suspicion. Anyway, apparently, the house was enchanted already.

It had protections and barriers and stuff. Oh, and a TRAINING ROOM! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!

Anyway, it also has a transport-me-to-camp-button or something courtesy of my Father. It supposed to transport us to camp if there's any trouble, considering that if we don't get there when there's trouble, we're leaving the newbies in camp to defend our home.

Apparently, ALL OF THE SCHOOLS CHIRON SENT US HAS A DEMIGOD PRINCIPAL

Whoa! Never thought Chiron could be that sly.

And finally, Yzabel and Rave finished their film with eyes wide and jaw dropped.

We briefed them about the people with Sight thing and asked them if they saw one of their tattoos and if they knew that they saw. Thankfully, they shook their heads.

And then, they were claimed. And by the gods, it was the oh my gods it's so obvious I can't believe I didn't think that her/his parent is _ claim

Yzabel was a daughter of Ares

Rave was a son of Apollo

"Hey there bro!" Kayla says from the IM with two thumbs up

That's when Yzabel and Rave spouted their questions

"Hey, can I see that sword you had earlier?"-Yzabel

I grab my sword from the ground, and explained how it just sinks in the ground and comes back up wherever I go.

"Cool! Have it ever sink in poop?"

"Um, well, I don't know actually."

This conversation is annoyingly familiar

"Are you really the son of Hades?"

"Well, yeah."

"Can you excavate, you know, like archeologists, really well, then?"

I looked at Percy, who was trying hard not to laugh.

"Jeez, Rave," I said. "I've never really tried."
He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Percy, since she was a daughter of Poseidon? (I didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to not think the beeping signal attracting other demigods? (I tried not to strangle Yzabel for asking that one.) Was Thalia (she was mentioned from previous questions) my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)"

"Now you know how I feel!" Percy says rolling on the floor. Oh, I get it. My first day at camp. Karma sucks.

"Whatever!"

By this time, the principal told us to get back now.

So we did.

Percy told me to get some rest, but I remembered I wanted to question Chiron about certain things . . . so I shadow travelled back.

I was about to jump out of the shadow when I heard Chiron talking to same voice again. Great, I'm turning to an expert eavesdropper.

"Are you really sure we should let them be separated?"-Chiron

"Of course!"-voice

"But, Lord, maybe we should let them now. They're fates, we cannot stop it. They are meant to be- -"-Chiron seemed to try to reason out

"No, this shall remain a secret. Make sure not a demigod will go to Goode high school"-voice

So that's it! He meant Goode not good.

"But do not enchant or guard the school, it might only make the demigods suspicious"-voice

"You have to consider this though, Lord. If not. . . well, you and I both know that Percy will- -"

"No! Neither of them is going to die! I shall make sure of that"

At this point I was about to rip out of the shadow, but if Chiron is being force to follow this dude, what chance do I have of standing up to him?

I . . . . I'll need to go to Goode, back to Percy's old school. Percy.

How the hell is he gonna die?! After everything we've been through! Dam shyt.

But, I can't go to Goode, right now. They're gonna be careful, so I have to stay discreet.

Should I tell Percy about this? Gods, what the hell should i do?! . . . .
