Chapter 13

Disclaimer: I do not own the PJ or HoO series by Rick Riodan.

"Kyra. Kyra wake up." I feel someone shaking my shoulder.

I open my eyes, my vision blurred from sleep. It was darker in the cabin than it had been earlier. I glance out the window to see a glimpse of the sun through the heavy foliage of the trees.

"Kyra. Come on. We need to go eat dinner." I look to where the voice had come from and see Danielle and Scarlett in the bathroom, touching up their hair and make-up.

I groan and sit up, my whole body aching. It probably would have been wiser to sleep on my bed rather than curled up on the couch.

"Okay. Have either of you seen Nico?" I ask, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"No. I think he's still asleep." Danielle says.

"Well, I'll go wake him up and meet you in front of the mess hall." I say, getting off of the couch and opening the door.

I close the door behind me and walk down the light gray stone steps of the Apollo cabin. I walk across the courtyard and up the black obsidian steps of the Hades cabin.

I knock on the door but no one answers. I sigh and turn the knob. It was pitch black inside. The black-out curtains were drawn and there were no lights on.

I flick the switch and I'm completely shocked at what I see. Everything was hot pink. The walls, the bed clothes, the ceiling, the floor had hot pink rugs all over it. Everything.

Nico was nowhere in sight. Just as I'm about turn off the light and walk out in search of Nico, I hear a scream. I bolt out of the cabin, slamming the door behind me, and run down the steps.

I look around the courtyard and see Nico chasing Connor and Travis around the fountain with his sword. The Stolls looked absolutely terrified and Nico looked so angry that his usually pale face was bright red.

I sprint over and step in between them. Nico skids to a stop and Travis and Connor cower behind me.

"What the Hades is going on here?" I demand, looking Nico in the eyes.

"Those two decided it would be cool to redecorate my cabin. In. Pink." he says, glaring at them.

"It was a harmless prank!" Travis says.

Nico moves to get past me but I place my hands on his shoulders and push him back.

"Stop. Killing them won't solve anything." I say.

"Thank you!" Connor says.

"That doesn't mean you two are off the hook. You're still going to be taken to Chiron." I say.

They both groan and I hear them turn around and start walking towards the Big House.

"Hey, wait!" I call after them.

They turn around, a look of doom on their faces.

"Did either of you happen to take Danielle's diary?" I ask.

They both shake their heads but I see that Connor's cheeks turned a light pink color when I mentioned Danielle.

"Okay. Well, go to Chiron then." I say, waving them off and turning back to Nico.

"I'm so glad this is their last year here." Nico says, glowering at them.

"Me too. How are you going to de-pink your room?" I ask, taking his hand and dragging him towards the mess hall.

"I have no clue. Maybe I'll beg my dad to change it back tonight when I do the offer." he says, shrugging.

I chuckle as we reach the marble steps. Nico heads in first, then Scarlett, Danielle, and I head in and sit down at our table.

A/N:

Oh, boy. A hot pink bedroom for Nico. Poor, poor Nico. Let's hope Hades takes pity on him. Lol!

So how was everyone's week? Well, I spent every single day of the week with my best friend. Which is sort of unusual because we normally would have gotten sick of seeing each other that much but we didn't. We actually got a lot closer than we have previously been, which is nice.

My mom has been gone for the weekend to be with her friends so it's just been me and my dad since Thursday. Thanking the gods she's coming back tomorrow! I don't hate my dad or anything we just have nothing to talk about. EVER. Which makes conversing extremely hard and awkward.

I hope you guys enjoyed getting two chapters today! I hope everyone survives till Tuesday!

XOXO,
