Nico's POV
Thalia left not to long ago, and I was attempting to shoot arrows at the targets that were roughly a hundred feet away. The children of Apollo had deadly aim, but I couldn't hit a single target. But instead of giving up, I still tried. After forty minutes, I fianlly got very irritated. I willed rocks to swallow the target whole. Everyone looked at me when all the targets where gone. I gave them the 'What? I'm innocent' look, but I knew they weren't buying it.
Chiron shook his head at me and I just smirked. "I'm going," I muttered, walking away.
"Nico, it would be nice to have the targets back," Chiron said.
I smirked as I allowed the trapped targets to resurface. After a few seconds, I heard the whistling of arrows flying through the air. I walked to the arena where I saw Percy and Clarisse showing the new demi-gods how to fight. I shrugged as I called forth my weapon. I walked over to Percy and attacked him. He blocked just in time. He smiled as I attempted to hit him again. "I thought you were suppose to be in Archery," he laughed as I shoved towards his right side.
"I was, but as usual I got frustrated and grounded the targets," I replied as he blocked and aimed an attack at my stomach.
"Grounded them?" he asked. I did a flip and continued to fight.
"The ground kind of swallowed the target, but don't worry Apollo's cabin got them back," I smirked. Our sword met in mid-air and we both jumped back. I was panting as I waited for him to attack. Well, I didn't have to wait for long for his attack, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I was soaking wet from head to toe. "Was that really necessary," I demanded.
"No, but it was hilarious," he smiled. He attempted to move, but I willed the rocks to hold him in place. "Is this necessary?"
"Yes, you drenched me," I laughed. He brought more water to his aid as I tried to stab him. The water back my sword of his body, but either way he still didn't need anything to help him. I laughed again. I freed his feet as I jumped backwards. Water trapped me as his sword was to my throat.
"I win, again," he smirked, before offering me his hand. I took it and was immediately dried. By the time we were done, the new demi-gods were watching us with their mouths wide open. "I do believe it is lunch time," he announced as we walked out of the arena.
Annabeth's POV
Anicent Greek went by slowly, and I was thankful for lunch. I entered the pavilion to see Percy and Nico sitting at Poseidon's table. "How was class?" I asked as I sat down.
"Interesting," Percy replied, between mouthfuls. I ordered my food, and offered some of my food to the gods.
"I ended up killing the targets with rocks and then invading the arena for a swordfight with Percy," Nico said, before putting more food in his mouth. "He ended up winning because he cheated."
"I didn't cheat," Percy protested.
"You used water," Nico accused.
"You never said that I couldn't," Percy replied.
I rolled my eyes and continued to eat. I listened to them agrue over who was right throughout lunch. I finally made it back to my cabin, and passed out.
(dream)
We were standing outside the door to the oval office. Miles was suppose to be inside but I had a terrible feeling that he wasn't. Aly and Carson were standing watch as Lily and I readied to go in. Hayden, Levi, and Brody were trapped a few hallways over, fighting dead German solider. We knew they could handle themselves, so we pushed forward. Lily shattered the door with lightening and I rushed into the room. I looked around to see that the room was messed up, as if a fight had just happened here. A few dead German and American solider stood in the middle of the room, sheltering a person.
"Well, well, well, it seems that we have four annoying children standing in my way," the voice in the middle of the people said.
"We're not standing in your way," I muttered. "You just might not want to leave."
"And why would that be?" he asked, almost demonically.
"You're facing 7 half-bloods," Lily announced, lending up the door frame as relaxed as possible.
"I only see four amateurs standing in my path that wont be much of a problem for me," he replied.
"I think we'll be much more of a problem than you think we will be," Hayden said, lending against the wall. Her and her brothers looked warn out but I knew they could go on for hours more.
"And why will you be a threat?" he asked, trying to trick us into tell him our secrets.
"Not that stupid," Alyssia yelled over her shoulders as she stood watch.
"Daughter of Athena, always smarter than they should be," he muttered, rolling his black eyes.
"Did he just roll his eyes?" Lily asked.
"How'd you know?" I whispered.
"Lucky guess," she shrugged. "What's the plan."
"We're winging it," I replied. "Hayden, Levi, Brody, take care of his soliders," I flicked my wrist towards the people surrounding them and within moments a deadly fight broke out.
A/n- Not sure how long this was, but I hoped you enjoyed it. Next chapter Grover comes back with two new children of Zeus. How will the group react to them? Maybe even a TOGA party to welcome Grover back. As always review!
