AN: so yeah, I know what you're thinking, I'm a bitch, but truly I couldn't find time to write throughout the break and that's why I'm here right now. It's Monday January 6 at 12:07 am and I just finished writing this ch. Today at 7:45 I have to be at school. So I do care about all of you my precious readers! I know how it feels and honestly I wish I could have updated earlier. But enough of the drama, thanks to those of you who actually gave me some feedback, yes you know who you are, I'm making someone else a major part of the story, not as big as liany but pretty big. Also, just a reminder, I'm seriously thinking about the couples in the story, if you got a serious OTP let me know and I'll write about them.

Warning: I don't think it's needed for this ch at least, but there is some cursing

The Unknown

Liany's POV

They were walking into the dining pavilion, or that's how campers called it, but since she had not been claimed yet she took Nico's offer to sit with him at the Hades table. They sat down and noticed right away that if it was just the two off them they really didn't talk as much, Leo was the talkative one.

"Do people usually just stare at you and keep their distance?" she asked genuinely curious

"Yes, most people fear us, Hades' children; they think we'll zap them into the underworld if they make us angry" Nico said with an annoyed expression on his face

"Oh, well I don't find you scary at all" she said as a smirk formed on her face "in fact I think you are cute, but I think you are far more interested in Leo that in me" she could see the raven haired boy sitting in front of her blush

Suddenly the heard cheers coming from a cabin, it as the one that looked like a doll house; it was a horrifying mixture of lace and baby pink. Only the gods would be able to understand that. A group of perfectly fashionable girls came to the dining pavilion with the Native American girl on their shoulders, but she didn't seem to mind; she looked happy somehow, as if a great weight had been lifted from her. They all sat down and breakfast was served, she could hear all the chatting and gossiping while she concentrated on the food in front of her, scrambled eggs, bacon, and OJ just like the day before; only one thing to her mind at that moment, Maren. She suddenly felt a sharp pain on her arm, was the serpent biting deeper? Immediately she noticed everyone had gone quiet and they were now staring at the Hades table. Was her pain that obvious? She looked at Nico in hope that he would have an answer for her but he seemed to be looking to the space above her head, was there something there? She looked up and realized what everyone was staring at; there was an albino serpent with crimson eyes glowing with a faint golden light. Was someone calming her? She had never read of a good whose sacred animal was an albino serpent. Her trait of thoughts was interrupted by the voice of the centaur at the head table.

"All hail Liany, lady and ally of Olympus and the Gods" everyone stood up and kneeled just as the centaur had just done. Just what in the fuck had just happened? She glanced back at Nico just in time to see his face turning pale -she snorted at the thought, she couldn't believe it was actually possible for him to look paler- as if he had just finished putting the pieces together and had discovered something astonishing. She glared at him making sure he knew that she wanted to know what was going on, she saw him mouth an I'll tell you later. She had never felt this… how did normal people call it? That's right! Uncomfortable.

She sat down again and this time she wished the food away, literately she just wished for the food to be gone and *puff* it was gone. The rest of breakfast went on without surprises, which was good by her standards. She just hoped that things didn't get messy from there on.

Maren's POV

She stood outside of her tent still waiting for lenni to come back, seriously, how long was she going to take? Then she saw something that answered her question. A bright light coming from the wolf house, her friends didn't see it of course, they were mortals after all. As if on cue she heard tom's voice

"Hey where's Lenni? She's late we should go and look for her" he seemed worried "what if she's lost or hurt?"

"Shut up tom" she snapped "you have no idea of what's going on" her worries coming out as anger, what had Hero done? Was Lenni alive?

"What do you mean?" Nancy came closer and he stood in front of a rather shocked Tom in a protective manner "what is it that we don't understand?"Really, what could the petite girl do to defend her boyfriend?

"I have no time to explain" she said as she stood up, impatience showing on her face "I don't need you anymore"

Brian approached her and grabbed her arm, what did he think he was doing touching her? How disgusting!

"Maren, love, what's going on?" his voice carried a concerned and hurt tone "why are you hurting us? Where's lenni? Does she have something to do with your change in attitude? We'll help you look for her, we're worried too, you don't have to act like this, we all know how close you guys are, we understand."

"LET. GO. OFF. ME!" she pulled her out of his grip and pushed him back so hard that he fell on the ground very disoriented "you don't understand anything. ANYTHING!"

Ben and Tom, who had just come out of his shock, ran toward Brian to help him stand up

"What's your problem lady" said Ben walking in her direction now that they had helped Brian up "he's just worried about you, why are you been such a bitch?"

"I have to go" her face had become one full of disgust and hate "I can't stand to be around you any longer!"

"Maren, what are you saying?" Milly seemed really hurt "We're childhood friends how can you say that?"

"That's what you don't understand! I am not your friend and I never was!" everyone seemed shocked to hear this, how could the girl they had grown up with suddenly say such hurtful things? "I've only been here for about a year, I came to this pathetic place just to get close to lenni, I never cared about any of you! And guess what? I don't have to hold back my anger cuz I know you won't remember shit, not about me and not about Liany. For all I care you could just die! But I know that would make her sad so I guess I'll just have to use my mom's tricks!" she snapped her fingers "you never met me or liany, do you understand?" they all nodded, their faces now blank without any sign of emotion "and everyone who comes in contact with you shall forget us as well" her commanding voice was followed by a dark mist that seemed to lash out of her body and curl around the teens in front of her "now go to sleep and forget"

All the teens turned around and walked away, she stood there for a moment and then walked into her tent; lenni's box still sitting in the sleeping bag and the bag with her cloths. She picked everything that seemed important and stuffed it into her backpack. She left the car keys hanging outside of Tom's tent; even though she had said all those mean things to them she really did care about them and wanted them to get home safely. She started to walk away while her cheeks grew cold; she was crying. She was crying because she would never have a chance to live a normal life again. She was crying because she had just lost her friends. She was crying because she knew she had no choice. But over all she was crying because she didn't know if liany was still alive.

Leo's POV

Well, it had certainly been an interesting morning. Lenni, or Liany…. Whatever, she had been claimed… well kinda claimed, and Nico had asked him (HIM, out of a whole camp of demigods it had to be HIM) to entertain her for a while so he could go and check something that was bugging him in FUCKING DEATH LAND. And Leo been the awesome guy he's always been said yes… he was so hopeless in front of cute guys… oh, but Nico was really going to pay for this. He wasn't really upset, he liked her actually, but she had this air around her that made her quite intimidating for some unknown reason.

So here he was, taking her into the woods to show her bunker 9, a preview since he was planning on showing it to everyone the next day

"So what did Nico promise you in exchange of keeping me busy?"

Damn, she was a sharp one "nothing really, I just wanted to show you a few cool things" he said trying to act natural "you know, maybe even get you to join team Leo"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes"

"Well then why haven't you looked at me even once since you had that talk with Nico then?" her voice now bitter "I'm not stupid Valdez, so look at me and start talking!"

Yup, she was very intimidating.

"Well… I... He..." and just when he was about to confess, he was saved by his beauty queen.

"Leo, how dare you to sneak on me! i…" she stopped yelling the moment she saw Lenni…or Liany… "I'm sorry I didn't know he was with someone" she said immediately with a sweeter tone

"Don't worry" Lianny answered with a soft smile "to be honest I wasn't planning on been him ether but life plays tricks on us, does it not?"

"Yes, it sure does. Oh, that reminds me, Chiron was looking for you. You better go and check what he wants"

"Alright" she said happily, hoping to get some answers from the centaur since nobody had given her a decent explanation about what had happened in the last 24 hrs. "I'll go right now"

Leo was feeling relived when suddenly Liany stopped and turned around just to say "and Leo, darling, we are not done talking yet so I'll see you later" Leo could feel his panic rising.

"So Leo" oh shit, he had forgotten that Piper was there too "what did you do this time?"
