A/n- okay, so I lied. I had a different idea then to end it so soon. You can expect a few more chapters than you thought you would. I'm not exactly sure when turing point in the story will be, but it will be at least 4 chapter longer. I will resolve the last three major questions. How Nico and Thalia get together, how Percy proposes, and finally how their wedding is. So expect to find the answers to these three major questions. Also sorry for the delay, my sisters house didn't have internet, but I'm home and able to update!

Nico's POV

It was nice not to have any chores, only classes but unfortunately Annabeth and Percy nominated me to help explain things to my half-brother and Zeus' kids. I'm so not a people person! I looked at them and the first thing I said was, "Okay, so I'm Nico and you should know I'm not a people person. I can't stand to be around many people and the only reason I'm around Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia are because we know each other. I don't want to get to know you. Annabeth decided it would be a good thing for me to be socialable, stupid children of Athena."

They nodded. "Why are you talking to us then?" Jayden asked. I looked at and I noticed a few things that reminded me alot of Thalia, though Jayden's hair was longer.

"Percy wants me to explain your powers to you," I admitted sheepishly. "But I can tell you I am no expert on powers of the children of Zeus." Jayden and Isaiah nodded. "Also, if you want to learn to manipulate the mist like Percy does, talk to Percy."

"What's the mist?" Elijah asked.

"Oh Hades, this is going to take forever," I hit my forehead. "The mist is what hide what we do from mortals. Some half-bloods, mostly children of the big three, can manipulate the mist."

"Why would only children of the big three able to do that?" Jayden asked.

"I didn't say only children of the big three, I said mostly. And the reason that mostly children of the big three because we are stronger than most," I replied.

"Stronger?" Elijah asked.

"Yes, since our fathers are the most powerful gods, we are the most powerful demigods," I said.

"Awesome, what can we do?" Isaiah asked.

"Well, you can manipulate lightening and electricity. You have some control over air, sky, and weather. And I've heard that Thalia asked statues, that was gifted to the mortals by Zeus, to fly them to somewhere. So, I think you have control over things your father gifted to the mortals," I replied. "As for you, Elijah, we have some cool powers as well. We can shadow travel, bend shadows to hide ourselves. We have powers to send away Underworld creatures. We can call forth a weapon made of special steel. Also, something that can both be a blessing or a curse, we can feel someone as they are being judged."

"What do you think of that power," Jayden asked.

"Which one?" I countered.

"Feeling someone being judged," she replied.

"I think of it more as a curse," I replied turning away. "Only because I felt my friends and family being judge before."

"Who did you lose?" Isaiah asked.

"Everyone," I replied. I turned my back as I felt like crying. I forced the tears to go away because I was stronger than that.

"It looks like your friends are alive right now," Jayden pointed out.

"I've shadow travelled to the future on several occasions. I know who dies and I know I can't change it," I turned around to face the three, angrily. "Fates aren't people you mess with. If I could, they wouldn't die. I wouldn't die."

"You've seen your own death?" Elijah asked.

I shrugged. "I've seen the death of my best friends. It's nothing special to see my own death."

"Who else died?" Jayden pressed.

"Percy and Annabeth die by the reaper. I die because I was stupid and foolish after Thalia's death," I replied. "Enough!" I finally say. "I don't want to talk about this anymore."

They all look around, trying to change the subject. "I should inform you of your fatal flaw. Elijah, your fatal flaw is holding grudges. Don't do that because it will get you killed. Isaiah, Jayden, I think your fatal flaw is power. Don't think of how much power you will gain when trying to figure out what you are going to do."

They nodded. "That's it!" I punched my hand in the air. "I have to go! Before I do, Elijah, if you want help shadow travelling, I'll be willing to help. Just expect a few accidental trip to a foreign country and maybe a few times of running into trees of walls." He nodded and before he could agree, I arrived in Percy's cabin. I saw Percya nd Annabeth making out on his bed. "Dude, I don't want to see that!"

"Well, you're the one that walked in on it. You know there is a door that you could knock on," he said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"I was informing Jayden, Isaiah, and Elijah of their fatal flaw and I realized how to get Thalia," I replied, sitting on the bed I used when I stayed here. They looked at me like I was a ghost.

Annabeth gave me a skepitcal look before asking, "How?"

"Using her fatal flaw against her," I replied proudly.

"What's her fatal flaw?" Percy asked.

"She's power hunger," I smirked.

Annabeth's eyes widen as if she knew what I was thinking. "Your going to make her an offer that she can't resist."

"Exactly!" I replied.

"What kind of offer?" Annabeth tried.

"You'll find out when she comes back to camp," I knew Annabeth would try to pry what I was planning out of me so I left quickly.

Annabeth's POV

"Damn him," I muttered as he shadow travelled away.

"What is he planning?" Percy asked.

I rolled my eyes before replying, "I'm not sure yet, but I have an idea."

He gave me the puppy dog eyes, trying to get me to tell him what I thought was Nico's plan. When I wouldn't tell him, he just kissed me instead. With that we resumed our earlier activies. Before long, a knock came at the door and I slipped on my Yankee's ball cap, knowing that we we're breaking the rules by being alone. Two girls came in. It was Sherrie and Katherine. Katherine looked ghostly pale and her faint blonde hair was pulled up into a loose ponytail. Sherrie's brunette hair was down and very curly.

"We came to inspect your cabin," Katherine muttered softly. I could tell that she was the shy type. But as they looked around his cabin, I snuck back to mine, knowing that soon it would be my cabin's turn. I took my cap off before entering and looked to see if the cabin was straightened. I nodded my approval to Malcolm and he sighed.

It was a while before Katherine and Sherrie knocked on our cabin. Malcolm and I stood as they looked at our organized cabin. They looked in the bathroom, and made sure everything was neat. As they walked out, Katherine muttered to Sherrie, "They get a 5 out of 5." I walked over to my bunk which was the top bunk of the far left side of the cabin. I sat down and waited until dinner.

Percy's POV

Dinner was long, seeming as I didn't have any brothers or sisters to talk to like everybody else did. Grover came and sat at my table and I enjoyed his company. The sing-along was even longer, but this time I got to sit next to Annabeth. Nico, Elijah, and Zeus' children sat with us. I guess its just a thing for the children fo the big three to hang out together, not that I was complaining. Jay and Isaiah were different from Thalia, though they still loved being in charge.

Finally, it was over and a capture the flag match was announced for tomorrow night. Since Hades' cabin was the winners, they got to choose which cabins they wanted to pair up with. Elijah and Neomah had no say in which cabins Nico picked. I thought it was only fair that Nico got to pick since he had been there longer, and the cabin had been built for just him.

"Who are you going to team up with?" Chiron asked loudly. "You can choose 6."

"Zeus', Poseidon's, Athena's, Hephaestus', Demeter's, Melinoe's," Nico finally answered. "All cabin leaders and co-leaders need to meet in Poseidon's cabin tonight."

"Hades' cabin is the heros, for the villians, we have Nemesis's, Hermes', Ares', Apollo's, Aphrodite's, Dionysus', and Phobos' cabins," Chiron announced. "With that being said, you may go."

As we walked back to the cabin, I asked Nico, "Why did you team up with them?"

"Hephaestus' cabin? I only did that because Neomah cheated the first time because of Zachary," he replied.

"I would have done the same," Annabeth shrugged. "It was the most logical thing to do." We all got back to the cabin, and I let in the leaders adn co-leaders of the cabins Nico chose. We had an hour and a half before it was lights out but only and hour before it was curfew. Annabeth and Malcolm did all the planning and told the other which cabins would be on flag defense and flag offense. By the end, I was yawning. When everything was settled, I finally said, "Okay, we have the plans. Now get out. I'm going to bed."

Annabeth rolled their eyes at me. They others said their farewells and left, leaving only Annabeth, Malcolm, and Nico. "Don't get in too late tonight," Malcolm nodded to Annabeth before heading back to tell his cabin that they were mostly on defense.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow for some one on one with you," Nico nodded and disappeared into thin air.

"You would think that he would get tired of shadow travelling," I shrugged. "Well, it's late and you should get going."

"Okay, well goodnight, Seaweed Brain," she kissed me.

"On second thought, we're going swimming," I muttered darkly as I picked her up bridal style.

"Seaweed Brain, its late and the waters cold!" she protested.

"I promise it won't be cold," I said as I walked out my door. When I didn't shut it, Annabeth lend over to shut it.

"It will look suspisious if your doors open," Annabeth reasoned. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, but didn't stop walking towards the beach. She stayed quiet, knowing we might get caught. I walked as quietly as possible but finally a made it to the peer.

She held her breathe as I went to jump. I felt the water around me, and as soon as I hit I form an air bubble for us to breathe in. Well for Annabeth to breathe in. "Why are we swimming so late at night? she asked.

"I don't classify this as swimming, I classify this as sitting in an air bubble," I retorted. I kissed her.

As soon as we parted she asked, "Then, Mr. Sassypants, why are we sitting in an air bubble underwater this late at night?"

"Mr. Sassypants, really?" I demanded, with a smile on my face. She so just didn't call me that. I am not sassy.

"Well?" She asked, almost as if she was tapping her foot.

"I.." I started. I knew what I wanted to say, but I was nervous. Okay, don't shoot me. I will force the words to come out. She stared at me, almost impatiently. "I love you."

Her eyes widen, and she stared at me. "Are you sure?" she asked.

"Well, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it," I rolled my eyes.

"There you go again, being sassy," she pointed out. "But I love you too." I felt so much better knowing that she wasn't going to leave me hanging with those words. I took off a necklace I was wearing. It was my favorite, well besides my camp necklace. It was a seashell necklace of my favorite shells. The swirly ones, you know the ones hermit crabs like living in? In between the shells were alternating green and blue beads. It reminded me a lot of the ocean. Mom had made it for me when she knew I was coming. She walked the beach for weeks trying to find the perfect shells to make the necklaces with. Mom finally gave me the necklace when I was ten.

I unclasped it and clasped it around Annabeth's neck.

"What is this for?" she asked.

"Well, I was watching a movie with mom and obviously when a guy tells a girl he loves her, he suppose to give her a gift," I looked down sheepishly.

"I've never heard of that, but okay," she smiled.

Annabeth's POV

I slipped into my cabin after Percy took me for a late night swim. I messed with the necklace that he gave me. It was beautiful. I hung it on my bed frame and climbed into my bed as quietly as possible. I didn't see Malcolm as he spoke, "I told you not ot be out late."

"Well, Father, it isn't my fault," I retorted sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes, "Get some sleep, you're going to need it for capture the flag."

"I guess the same could be said for you," I replied, turning over in my bunk.

"I'm guessing Percy said he loves you," Malcolm noted as I was almost asleep.

"How did you guess?" I asked sleepily.

"His necklace is hanging from the bed post," Malcolm pointed out. "Guys are suppose to do that kind of things."

"Where did you hear that from?" I demanded, well tried to demand, instead it came out sounding very sleepily.

"One of the Aphrodite's daughters," he replied. "You know we don't have that much longer at camp before we go back to the mortal world and try not to get killed."

"Yes, only one more week," I replied, yawning. "I'm wondering what the bead will be for this year."

"Not much has happened this summer," he made a sound on his pillow which sounded like a nod. "What are you going to do about seeing Percy with your dad moving?"

"Dad's been threatening to move for a year now," I replied. "If all else fails, I don't think that Percy's mom would mind me staying there."

"I think mom would have a problem with you living at your boyfriends house during the school year," he noted.

"Maybe," I said as I yawned. I fell asleep before he could say anything else.

Percy's POV

I woke up and went to breakfast. I sat down at Zeus' table with Isaiah and Jay, who must of gotten there a few seconds before I did. "Hey, I see you guys are up early," I said as I ordered. I then offered half of it to Poseidon and Athena before I ate. A few minutes later Nico, Elijah, and Annabeth sat down at Zeus' table.

"I see we have a new pick of breakfast and lunch table," Annabeth noted.

"I'm glad that there's not many children of the big three," I noted in between bites.

Once the pavilion was filled with all two hundred and fifty plus campers, Chiron stood. "We are starting to give out this year's bead. You may claim them from the big house after tonight's capture the flag match. You need to tell Hephaestus' cabin which godly parent is yours when you go to claim them."

We started cheering. I had four beads from my four years here, and this bead will make my fifth.

Nico's POV

I was standing in the crowd outside the forest waiting for Chiron to ask which side we wanted. "Heros take your flag," Chiron held a flag the was pitch black with a skull and cross bone on it.

I took it from his hands, "East of the river!" I handed the flag to Annabeth as we raced to put up our flag. Since we were east of the river again, we placed it in relatively the same spot it was in last time.

Percy led the attack this time while I stayed back with Annabeth to protect the flag. The whistle blew and Percy and his group ran off towards the enemies flag. A few got through and tried to take the flag, but I'm pretty sure I scared them when I struck them down. I bended a few shadows to conseal myself while Annabeth had her hat on, siting at the flag. I noticed that Annabeth was fighting someone as another girl took off with the flag. I noticed her to be Sherrie.

I stood in Sherrie's way before she could go through the water. I called my weapon and gave her the 'come-at-me-and-you-die' look. She placed the flag in the sand and before she could react I shadow travelled to the flag and disappeared before she could figure out where I was. I handed the flag to Annabeth who had just defeated her attacker before I appeared back in front of Sherrie. I was gone no more than six seconds.

I stood at the ready but she just walked away, "I will get revenge." I was nervous. A daughter of Nemesis just threatened to get revenge on me, I think I have a right to be nervous. But man, shadow travelling was my favorite thing about being Hades' son. Six seconds was my best record, I need to beat it now!

Annabeth's POV

Seconds after I beat my opponent, Nico appears. He hands me the flag that I didn't know was being taken and disappears. Sometimes, that can get annoying, but I shrugged it off. I see Percy riding a wave across the stream with the opponents flag in hand. Chiron blew his whistle and the flag changed from pitch black with a skull and crossbone on it to a cystal blue color with a sea green trident in the middle. He rushed over and hugged me. Nico patted him on the back. "We almost lost," Nico informed him.

"How?" he demanded.

"They got some smarts and one ingaged me in battle and the other snuck up and took the flag when I wasn't looking. Nico brought it back," I rushed. "But, right now I want to see the new beads!"

He rolled his eyes as he placed the flag in the sand and took my hand. We all walked up to the big house. When we got there, there was a line. Mostly Aphrodite's daughters were waiting to see what the new bead was. When it was finally my turn, I walked up to a guy.

"Your name?" he asked.

"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena," I replied. He handed me a small bead. I thanked him and left befor elooking at the bead. It was a flag. It was pure gray with a yellowish owl in the middle of it. I waited outside to see what Percy's, Nico's, and the other's were.

Nico was the first to appear. He flipped it over in his hands. It was similar to mine but it was pitch black with a white skull and crossbone. Percy appeared a few minutes later with Jay and Isaiah. I looked at Percy's which was crystal blue with sea green trident on it. Jay handed me hers and for the first time I saw what a Zeus' cabin flag would look like. It would a dark purple with a bright blue lightening bolt on it.

"Why do we get these?" Isaiah asked.

"It shows how long you've been here," I said as I took off my necklace. "I've been here since I was seven. This is my tenth one. It also shows what major event went on during the year."

"What is that one?" Jay pointed to last years bead.

"The Empire State building," I replied.

"Why was that important?" Elijah asked as he joined the circle.

"We battled for Olympus last year. The Empire State building is where Olympus is. In the windows are the names of our fallen campers and Hunters."

"Why is Olympus on Empire State building?" Isaiah asked, and I sighed.

"A better question is how is Olympus on the Empire State building?" Jay demanded.

"Well if you two become year around campers, thoses questions will be answered," Percy answered.

Nico's POV

I have been shadow travelling a lot lately. I decided to shadow travel to the future to see if my plans would work. it took a while but I finally found the right time period as to when the Hunters come back to camp.

I returned back to my cabin that night and slept soundly. Tomorrow I will take Annabeth and Percy to see my plan in action.

A/n- okay, so this is a very long chapter. It took a while to write. Up next your question on how Thalia and Nico get together with be answered so be prepared. Also, so I didn't really lie. I just didn't do as much as I hoped to have done, but I still accomplished much. Percy and Annabeth have been going out for like 3 and a half months and they finally said I love you to each other. Hmmph. Did you like the beads? I liked them. Well, Review?
