A/n- Marker 40….heck yes. It has more chapters and words than any other of my stories. Hope everyone is still reading and loving this story =)

Percy's POV

It was hot and I was tired of just sitting around on the beach, so I picked Annabeth up and tossed her over my shoulder. When she asked what I was doing, I told we were going for a swim. I walked into the water. It was cold, but felt extremely good on this early summer day. I was in waist deep before I finally put her in the water. She was laughing, and I smiled. I formed a water bubble around us, and sank to the bottom. I kissed her softly.

Nico's POV

I was pacing back and forth in my room, forbidding myself from talking to Thalia. Neomah walked into the cabin, and I glared at her. "You're the betrayer," I accused.

"And if I am?" she raised her eyebrow. "You can't fight me alone. We have the same powers. Percy seems a little busy with Annabeth and your girlfriend isn't here to protect you." She smirked.

I was fuming. "I don't need anyone to help me fight a filthy cheater. And Thalia isn't my girlfriend," I tried to keep from yelling. "What made you cheat, huh? Was it your filthy boyfriend?"

"Don't talk about Zack like that," she took a step towards me.

"So Zachary is your boyfriend," I smirked. "What did it take for you to steal the flag for him?"

"He asked me to," she muttered.

"And how long have you known this boy?" I demanded.

"We've been dating for a little over a year," she replied.

"Go, you aren't welcome in this cabin again," I told her. "I don't want a filthy, no good, cheater as a sister."

"Like you have a better sister," she smirked.

"You don't know anything about me. I had a full sister. She wasn't just a half-sister like you are. She had my mom's and my dad's blood in her veins. Bianca was never devious or treacherous like you are. I want nothing more to do with you. Leave my cabin now!" I finally yelled. She walked to the door, where she brushed by Thalia. I turned to see Thalia wearing a frown.

"She can't change who she is, Dead Boy," Thalia said softly.

"I know, but I want nothing to do with any of my siblings," I tried to leave but Thalia stood in my way.

"It isn't justified to banish everyone of your sibling. You never know if they are good or bad," she forced me to sit on my bed.

"Every child of Hades is the same, treacherous and defiant," I laid on my bed.

"Not every child is the same. You're not treacherous," she sat on the other bed in my cabin.

"That's because I had a good sister, mom, and friends," I replied.

"Maybe she didn't have that," she looked at me.

"Look, Pinecone Face, you don't understand what it's like to have a half-sibling like everyone else around here does. Your personality and beliefs don't crash with others, like mine does. I'm an outcast of all the children of Hades because I'm not the typical type," I said. I saw her get up and turn towards the door. I stood up and hugged her. "I'm sorry."

"Here," she handed me something. "I came to give you this and say goodbye. Lady Artemis said that we won't be coming back to camp for a while. So I'll see you next time. That is if you're still alive."

I laughed. "Bye, Pinecone Face."

"Bye, Dead Boy," she smiled and left. It was against the rules for two people of opposite sex to be alone in the same cabin, but it wasn't like we were doing anything. When I finally looked down, I saw her IPod. It was black with plain black headphones. I lay back down and started listening to her IPod.

After while, Percy and Annabeth joined me in my cabin. They sat down on the opposite bed and looked around my cabin. "Isn't this like the first time you've really seen my cabin?" I asked.

"We've been in here once before, but we didn't get a chance to look around," Annabeth said. "It turned out nice."

"Yes, it did," I nodded.

"Isn't that Thalia's IPod?" Annabeth asked.

"Yes, she gave it to me."

"Why?" Percy asked.

"I don't know. I was arguing with my cheating sister when she came in to tell me goodbye. Before she left, she handed me this," I shrugged.

Thalia's POV

I walked in on Nico yelling at his sister. Yes, we all knew that she was devious and treacherous, but expected from most children of Hades. I tried to talk to him about it, but he didn't hear me out. But when he accused me of not understanding, I gave up and tried to leave. He hugged me. I gave him my IPod because I couldn't charge it or keep up with it. I knew he would appreciate it. I told him bye even though I didn't want to leave camp.

Now the Hunters won't come within ten feet of me because I still smell like Nico, roasted corpses. I've gotten use to the smell over the time I've spent with Percy and Annabeth. Grover had left the first time they came back to camp to organize the satyr's orders. So it was usually Annabeth, Percy, and Nico that I was hanging out with when I got free time in the Hunters. I knew I wouldn't be coming back to camp for quiet sometime, so I glanced back one more time before ordering the girls to head out.
