Hi again everyone! Sorry this took a while but I had a lot of schoolwork to do and didn't have much time to write. Anyway thanks for all the reviews and favourites/alerts!
Also to Avardsin I will include some of your suggestions but i can't do it all because i want them to use there real names when they are in private but otherwise thanks because it gave me new ideas!
Now go and read and tell me what you think of it :)
I don't own Percy Jackson (do i have to keep saying this?)
When I had stopped wondering how I was so lucky, I took a look at the room. It was a square room that was quite big but not overly so, giving it a more homely feel. Even so Nico and me had plenty of space to ourselves. Our beds were at one end of the room while the doors to the bathrooms were at the other end. We both had a desk and a wardrobe, but these were not in the same positions so the room wasn't symmetrical.
I collapsed onto my bed and just sat there smiling to myself. It wasn't long after Thalia had left when Nico came back. When he came in I noticed that his face looked happier than it had in ages, even more so than when Chaos had offered us a new life.
"Hey Perce," He said cheerfully. "Whatcha' doing?"
"Just marveling at how great our lives have gotten over the past few hours," I replied. "And why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
"Well you now how we both got pulled aside by the girls?" He said.
"Yeah"
"Well Amy sort of just pulled me in there and started to kiss me… and I kissed her back." He said sheepishly.
"No way," I said with a smile "because Thalia just did that to me too!"
"Looks like we both have a great future to look forward to then don't we? Wait a sec… isn't Selena a daughter of Aphrodite?"
"Yeah"
"Do you think that she put them up to it?" Nico asked.
"I hope not, I just think that she persuaded them to let us know what they felt. I know Selena and I don't think that she would do that to us." I said feeling relieved.
"I hope not," Nico replied, " what do you think they are talking about in there?"
"I'm not sure but they are probably talking about what happened just now or what is going to happen tomorrow." I said
"Yeah. I think that we will probably be shown what our normal days are going to be like and how this place works," Nico thought.
"Probably," I said, "we will just have to wait and find out. Lets go to sleep and see what the morning brings us." Nico just sat there staring at me. "What?" I asked him.
"You…you just sounded philosophical and stuff, it…it hasn't happened before, this place must be changing us more than we think."
"Yeah well let's just go to sleep." I lay down and shut my eyes and almost instantly fell asleep. My dreams filed with a certain black haired girl.
I woke up to Thalia standing over me with her cute smile on her face. That was all I needed to make this day a good day, a smiling Thalia and the fact that after last night she was a much bigger part of my life. Even now I could not believe that she had kissed me.
"Morning sleepy head," she smiled.
"Hey Thalia. Did you have a good sleep?" I asked her.
"It was perfect actually especially after what happened last night," she said while leaning closer.
I couldn't help it. I leaned in and kissed her on the lips. I wanted it to last longer but she pulled away before anything could start. I looked at her pouting.
"Common Perce," she said pleadingly "I can't resist it when you give me that look and now is not the right time. Anyway me and Amy only came her to wake you up because you didn't wake up when Chaos called us."
"Yeah I have no idea how you guys slept through that," Amy said from across the room. She was sitting on the edge of Nico's bed trying in vain to get him to get up.
"Well we just sleep really heavily, you guys should know that by now," Nico said sleepily finally sitting up, but only after Amy had given him a kiss. "Any way what did Chaos want? "
"He said that we needed to get ready and have some breakfast and then meet him in the arena at 9:30" Thalia explained. "He said something about teaching us out new powers" at that Nico and me jumped out of bed and were ready to go in a few seconds.
"Well that certainly got them up didn't it" Amy said through her sniggering. "But we do have to get going, it is almost 9:00 and we still have to have breakfast."
When we arrived at the lunch hall everything quieted down a bit but didn't go silent. Looks like we already have a reputation in the army. Chaos wasn't present but I got a feeling that he didn't need to eat that often and so didn't usually eat with us.
After we had our breakfast, which was basically like at camp where you could have what you wanted, we went down to the arena to meet with Chaos. The arena was just like the Coliseum in Rome but was a bit smaller and looked in much better condition. We saw chaos standing in the middle and walked up to him.
"Hello Commanders, today we are going to be giving you your powers and immortality," he said to us. "Once you swear the oath you become one of my personal soldiers and will be fully immortal with a portion of my powers. These include all the powers of the Olympians as well as some of my own. To do this though you will need to renounce your parentage and become a soldier of Chaos." We all just looked at him in awe; we were about to be given the greatest gift of all and some special powers to boot, but I was a bit unhappy about the renouncing our parentage, they did leave us and let those three become the worst campers the world has seen but they were still our parents and it felt bad getting rid of them.
"Stand in front of me and prepare to swear the oath," he spoke solemnly. We all stood in front of him, looked like we all didn't mind to much about the renouncing bit.
"Repeat after me: I swear that I will give my life to protect the good in this world and that I will always be loyal to Chaos. I will renounce my parentage to become a true soldier and be given immortality only to be able to help this world forevermore." We all repeated what he had said. Then Chaos raised his arms and I felt a mild tingling go through my body, but that was it. After a few seconds of stillness and the strange feeling Chaos dropped his arms.
"It is done" he said, "you are now full soldiers of Chaos and now I will give you each more power because you are to be my commanders." He then shut his eyes and black dust seemed to float out of him and then went in to each of our chests. I began to feel weak, and before I knew it I was passing out. Just before I shut my eyes I saw my friends collapse next to me, Thalia with her brilliant blue eyes looking at me.
Thanks for reading! Now go and tell me what you think in a review.
Also I will say again, I will welcome any suggestions gladly. It is always good to get new ideas, it makes the story better :)
