Ok I don't even know if anyone has read these but I'm just gonna keep uploading chapters until it's finished so if anyone does read this they won't be waiting. (Because I HATE waiting :P) So... yeah

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy, Annabeth, Nico, or anyone else in the Percy Jackson series, only Kristie!

Three weeks later, Nico had already left Camp Half Blood after the night of Capture the Flag.

Kristie

I really didn't know what to do.

He told me he might come back, "But being the son of Hades, it's tough. And nobody but Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, and Leo really like me," were his exact words. "I Like you!" I had said. "But we hardly know each other," he said back. Then, in a calling of Mrs. O' Leary, he left.

But that was 21 days ago. I know because that's how many marks are on my sword. One for each day after he left.

So I left.

And he found me.

Nico

Why did she leave? Why did I find her? Why did I go back to Camp Half Blood? I should've known.

It was the other night, I was wondering around in New York, looking for a place to stop, when she was across the street.

"Kristie?"

"Nico...?"

"What are you doing here?"

"That's complicated."

"Tell me!"

Here I was, like a child, begging her to tell me what was going on. I am Nico di Angelo! Why should I care?

"How long have you been away from camp?"

"Actually, about a day."

"Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, really. Thanks for caring, though."

Kristie looked at me. Really looked at me. I was afraid of her seeing something in me others shouldn't.

Maybe it was ok if she saw, though...?

"Everyone says you look like your sister," she said. I didn't look like Hazel...? Then, I realized she was talking about Bianca.

"Annabeth said you look like Percy."

"I guess, but we don't have the same eyes."

"Nope, yours are much bluer," I said softly, like I was afraid. "You look hungry."

She laughed. "I am. Why do you care?"

"Come on. I'll show you this really cool place me and Hazel went to one time. Oh, Hazel's my sister."

Kristie looked confused.

"No, not Bianca. She's probably the sister everyone was talking about..." I trailed off.

"You're not alone, Nico. My brother died when I was young, too. It crushed me. It's okay, I have Percy and you have Hazel." She reassured me.

"Now where was that place you were taking me?"
