Chapter 5:
Nico POV-
After my quick, fantastical escape from the hot-but-will-suck-your-blood chick, I ran straight into in library for Study Hall. I looked around for Percy and Annabeth then, oh Cerberus-crap! They aren't with me this period! I looked around for a way to stay still (damn ADHD!) when her royal bloodsuckingnessie(AN: See what I did there! Ha ha!) strolled in. She hadn't noticed me yet so I looked for a way to escape. To my great depression, I only saw Madison staring at me with a seductive smile. Come on Nico! This is your only chance! I thought to myself.
I held my head high and smiled back at Madison. I could feel Nessie's semi-living life's aura a few feet behind me. I speed walked to one of the aisles in the library and Madison followed me. I sat down and she pulled up a chair and sat down next to me. "So you're the famous Madison!" I asked, trying to act engrossed in Madison while maintaining my dignity.
"Oh, yes! That's me!" she giggled back. From the corner of my eye, I saw Nessie creep over to us. She seemed to be looking for somebody- wait no, me! She was looking for me! Her back was to me as she began to slowly turn. I knew I only had seconds and for once was glad that Percy and Annabeth weren't there with me, I couldn't embarrass myself like this in front of them. I turned my entire body to the left, facing Madison and was grateful for the mint I had just eaten. Nervous, I looked past her head a book, Romeo and Juliet. I prayed to Aphrodite that I would be able to make this turn out right, for I had no other plan or choice.
Gathering my courage, I leaned into Madison's face and gently pressed my lips onto hers. She giggled into my mouth and took absolute control of my lips from there. I couldn't do much about it; I was focusing on Nessie going away from here. Gods, my father was probably dieing of shame right now, but Aphrodite would probably be giggling.
Just then, I felt something wet and warm trying to get past my lips and into my mouth. Horrified, I pulled away from Madison. At first, she looked hurt and then she kissed me on the cheek. I felt like making her disappear into a crack, how dare she try to seduce me! Oh, but then again, she can't help but be dazzled by my natural hotness. And besides, I owed her, I was able to successfully escape from a life or death situation(and this was definitely death) using a plan worthy of Athena! And with a hint of Aphrodite in it! Oh, how proud I make the Olympians...
Suddenly, Madison cleared her throat. I realized that I had been off in Nicoland and so gave her a hug and stalked off into another aisle. Anywhere away from the aisle of love and sappiness would be good. I searched for a book in Greek with tons of gore and death. And of course, about how hot and handsome a certain Nico Di Angelo is in the second Titans war. Knowing I wouldn't find anything, I kept on looking, it's not like I would read anything. My ADHD eyes brushed past everything when suddenly my mind went alert.
I could hear the air whoosh for every single action in the room. I felt a cold drift and rushed to the end of the aisle. I felt a burning hand brush against my shoulder. Gasping, I turned and was face to face with a certain bronze haired bloodsucker. "Um.. hi!" I managed.
"Oh, hello to you as well!" she replied, in a fake and sarcastic voice. "OK, enough with the delusion! Tell me, who are you and how do you know about me and my family?"
"I don't know what you are talking about! Are you a stalker! You are, aren't you! I knew it! You are a freakishly hot stalker who goes around raping young and innocent boys like me! Ha! I figured you out in less than a minute! Wow, that was record time! Now, I will be on my way making a great escape!" I said. With that, I turned around and into Madison, with her mouth open. I walked passed her and she followed me.
"Wait, you idiot! Very funny! Now you're scaring the humans here too! Ugh, you stupid, lying bast-" Nessie started.
"Hey! You bloodsucking rapist! Shut the Hades up!" I whispered. I stalked off into another aisle and this time, a normal hand grab my shoulder.
"Hey hotshot!" started Madison, winking at me.
"Hey!" I said, trying to act like nothing happened. She smiled her seductive smile and leaned into my face. I prayed to my father that something dramatic would happen to save me this time, too. Bringggg!
I sighed in relief. I turned to Maddie, pecked her on the cheek as a way of thanking her, and walked off to lunch.
At lunch-
Shadow Head has searched and has now located Seaweed Brain and Owl Head. They laugh and stroll across the cafeteria and sit at the table. Shadow Head sneakily walks up follows them. He has now caugh- something grabbed me. I flinched and my hands automatically went to my pocket for my sword. Then, I realized it was just Maddie.
"Hotshot, are you avoiding me?" she asked, whining like an idiotic flirt. She then smiled and grabbed my arm, steering me to a table with a bunch of choke-you-with-my-intoxicating-perfume girls. All of them had some kind of fake, sick colored hair and highlights. I sat down in a place without any chairs and turned to where Percy and Annabeth were.
"Percy, Annabeth! Come here!" I yelled. They turned to look at me, smiled and walked back over to rescue me from the wanna-be-barbie-dolls. Madison (thankfully!) backed off and let us sit, slightly isolated so we could discuss quest.
"So I did some research during last period and accidentally ran into another one of those vamps, Alice. It turns out that they aren't like Empousai at all, other than the fact that they drink blood!" Annabeth started.
"Wait, isn't the whole blood drinking thing why they are dangerous and considered vampires!" I shot at her. Annabeth sighed.
"Silly Shadow Head! If you would only listen! They have incredible speed and power! They have supersonic senses!" she explained, acting as if it all made sense. Athena and her stupid- I mean highly intelligent children! Once they figured something out, the others are always the stupid ones.
"How can you be sure? What if this Alice was just lying?" Percy retorted. Annabeth rolled her eyes, as usual, and pointed to a table completely isolated from us.
There, Nessie was with another 6 pale bloodsuckers. Two of them looked like her parents, although they looked around 17 or maybe 18. They all smelled like the most alluring perfume, as if to mask the smell that I always have, of death. "Come on!" Annabeth exclaimed, leading us to them.
I followed the lovebirds to the table and watched all of them carefully. I wondered if I could have any control over them, being the son of Hades and all. Suddenly, Nessie's father looked at me as if he couldn't understand my thoughts. I saw him exchange a glance with Annabeth.
"What is going on?" I asked, annoyed at never knowing anything. Just then, Nessie stepped up to me, Percy, and Annabeth. She grasped our hands and showed us. And then, we were enlightened on everything.
"Wow..." I muttered, "But do you know about us?"
"Been there, done that!" Annabeth said, "If only you let me finish!" The blond-pretty-supermodel-bloodsucker dramatically sighed.
"Why are we always so involved with humans! I hate this!" she whined. My eyes narrowed and I concentrated hard on her. She turned to glare at me.
What the fuck is he staring at me for? she thought. Wait, thought?
Did I just hear your thought? I asked.
Holy shit! How are you doing this? Only Edward can! she cried. I was tired of hearing a leech's thoughts so I tried to "disconnect". I felt around through my head to see if our minds were still connected.
"What the Hades was that!" I exclaimed. Edward grinned.
"That was freaking creepy! I am tired of these good-for-nothing humans for now! Em, let's go!" she whined.
"Shut up leech!" I snapped. She charged at me and I felt a tug in my gut. I ordered her to stop attacking me through our telepathy link. She froze.
"Oh, crap!" she cursed, frozen as if she couldn't move.
"Enough Rose! Let's take this to Carlisle, he'll know what to do!" Edward commanded. Rosalie struggle to move and I released her. She glared at me and then looked behind me, smirking. I turned around and saw Madison creeping her way towards us.
"So can we ditch school, like right now?" I asked, winding up my puppy dog eyes. A conversation with Madison is one I would gladly ditch. Both Edward and Nessie rolled their eyes in a synchronized manner.
"Yeah, let's go!" Percy added. I shot him my epic "thank you" smile.
At the Cullen house-
I still couldn't get over how awesome the Cullen house was! Even though I'm not the outdoorsy type, their house was so beautifully designed, it deserved some quiet appreciation. Unfortunately, Annabeth could not control her architectural brain and just had to start a discussion with Esme about everything. Even Percy was starting to get annoyed. I smirked.
"Um, Wise Girl, can we, um-" Percy started.
"Get to the point! I mean we didn't come here just to discuss how the dome structure is supporting itself-" I ranted.
"The dome does not support itself! That's why there are arches and-" she corrected.
"WHATEVER! I could care less! Can we focus on the quest!" I yelled, exasperated. She rolled her gray eyes at me.
"Fine." I heard muffled laughter behind me. I turned and found 6 black eyed vamps and Miss-brown-eyed-princess smiling at our argument. I started the telepathy thing and included everybody(other than Percy and Annabeth, ha! Those suckers!) in the conversation.
We should go to where Jake and his pack are, they are going to the attack scene as well! Nessie thought.
Yes, Edward will give directions. Carlisle stated simply.
Yeah, and we'll all go hunting, I'm REALLY thirsty! Alice thought as Jasper nodded. I cringed at the thought of them attacking me. Even with my skeleton army, my chances would be tough.
So let's go already! I want to kick ass! Emmett enthusiastically thought. I laughed at his enthusiasm it was just like Percy. Just then, Annabeth tapped me- no, smacked me on the shoulder with the tell-me-what-on-earth-is-going-on-before-I-hurt-you look on her face. I sighed dramatically.
"The vamps shall hunt after Sir Edward gives us directions to the heart of our quest!" I explained in my medieval mood.
"What are we waiting for, let's go kick some monster butt!" Percy cried. I rolled my eyes as I darted outside, following Edward's lead.
In the Woods-
"So remember, go 3 miles east, then 5 miles south, and about 2 miles southwest, alright?" Edward asked, for only the millionth time.
"Annabeth, got it?" I asked, impatient.
"Duh, Shadow Head!" she replied.
"Then let's get going!" Percy said, taking the words out of my mouth. Annabeth led the way while me and Percy jogged behind her.
He turned to me and said, "Is it just me or does Annabeth run really fast?"
After rolling my eyes dramatically, I replied, "Sir Perseus, she has always been quick and shall always remain quicker than most, including you! Your Achilles strength is no match for Wise Girl's quickness!" I rambled, getting this excited feeling. Aphrodite's dream kept on getting to me and I felt extremely giddy about meeting the love of my life. Suddenly, the world froze.
"Oh, this is so cute, I'm going to cry!" said a familiar voice. I observed the world around me. I was on Mt. Olympus! I looked down into New York City and saw a man eating a burrito while another man tried to steal his wallet. Snickering, I turned to make my heart stop once again.
"Aphrodite." I regarded her, bowing again, "Thank you so much for letting my little scene with Maddie go well!"
"Ugh, Maddie! Although sh is my daughter, I still despise her! She was just a mistake, a slip on our part, mine and John's..." she started. The goddess of love looked at me with an oops-that-kind-of-slipped-out-so-pretend-I-never-said-that look on her face. I cleared my throat as a blush rose to my cheeks. "Well, um, anyways, I only helped a tad bit;Madison had it going on pretty well on her own. And yes, you did make me proud!"
"Oh, um, you're welcome... I guess..." I said. Suddenly, another god just appeared behind me, and all hell broke loose.
"HOW DARE YOU SIDE WITH APHRODITE!" boomed my father's voice.
Aphrodite just rolled her eyes and reminded Hades, "Just because it this deals with my creation of improved vampires doesn't mean he will become one or something like that! Don't ruin his chances in the world of love! You know Nico deserves better! And besides, his soul mate deserves to have him as well! She has been waiting for quite some time!"
"Well then, um, I guess you're right..." muttered my great father. Aphrodite winked at me. "But, you are absolutely sure he won't become all lovey dovey on me, right?"
"Of course!" Aphrodite reassured. She smiled at me knowingly. "He should get on his way now!"
"Yes, go my son! And remember, no matter how angry I am, you shall always be my favorite child!" Hades added, dramatically. This time, I rolled my eyes.
"Father, I am your only child though!" I said, acting offended.
"Um, well, I still love you!" he said blushing. I glanced at Aphrodite and saw her smiling in a guilty manner with her hands behind her back. "Aphrodite, I will get you for this!" my noble father yelled. Aphrodite gave me once last wink and disappeared. My dad followed her shortly, with his hot temper, as usual.
In a blink, I was back. I looked in front of me and saw Annabeth looking at me accusingly. "Gosh, you're just slowing us down!" she accused. Mad, I started running in the lead. Suddenly I stopped and saw an amazing sight before me. There were 5 gigantic wolves staring at me with surprised looks.
"Nico!" Annabeth yelled at me. Then she muttered, "What the Hades! Nico, why find the closest monsters as soon as possible! You idiot, they are the werwolves that Chiron was talking about!"
"Ha! Now you're the idiot!" Percy joked. But eyes were fixed on one gray wolf.
She (it seemed more likely) was smaller than the rest but looked fierce. I imagined her as a hot girl, totally my type... WOW! I did NOT just think that! But, the world seemed to have changed. I wanted to find out more but the largest russet wolf, growled lightly and ran off, the others following him. My heart sank, like when I found out that Santa isn't real... why Artemis, why? Why ruin a poor child's dreams?
"We have to go follow them!" I demanded.
Annabeth rolled her eyes and replied, "Uh, we aren't here to chase werewolves! We have Port Angeles to get to!" Grrrrr... Annabeth was in deep Cerberus-crap!
So there is a super-long chapter of those who were awesome enough to read till now! PLEASE REVIEW!
