It is the day of posting. Here, my dear readers is your new chapter.

Note: There is a -as far as I'm concerned- made up relic introduced in this chapter with a completely unimaginative name.
Note: We get to learn how Percy is in this chapter, because as all fan-anything do, they change already made characters to adjust to whatever they're creating.
Note: I did my best to go through and check spelling/error but: lack of sleep + long day of school = not my best at going through to find spelling/grammar errors. If i did anything to horribly bad, that should be like extremely easy to find for the normal non-dyslexic person tell me and I shall fix it.

Part One: Chapter Five: The Collector

=Nico=

I groaned in pain and boredom as I sat in Percy's bed, watching him do work at his desk. He didn't acknowledge me, not since the training ended and he, as Rachel predicted, kidnapped me and brought me here. I didn't want to bother him, he seemed like he was doing something important, and moving hurt. Clarisse isn't someone I will try to mess with. Ever. But sitting here, just watching the Captain look over papers reminded me of all those times I fell asleep doing the same exact thing.

The door burst open like it had this morning and Rachel drifted in. "They're pissed." She said before Percy had the chance to look up and see who it was. "Hades is pissed at you. Zeus is pissed at you and frankly Mars wants to strangle you. Not Ares, Mars!"

"This is new?" Percy wondered absently as he turned over a paper.

"Hades is new." Rachel pointed out.

"No I'm sure I've pissed him off in the past." Percy waved it off.

"Have you now?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I snuck into the underworld and stole back my mother who he kidnapped some time ago." Percy informed her. "About a year before I found you."

"Do you make it a habit to annoy every single god you encounter?" She scolded him.

"Aphrodite seems to still like me after our meeting." Percy responded with a simple shrug. He finally looked up at her. "Artemis likes me for saving her hunters, though she dislikes that Thalia chose to come with me over joining her. Apollo and I are friends... and Hephaestus doesn't seem to dislike me as much as he does most people."

"Aphrodite likes anyone that can give her a soap opera." Rachel started to counter. "I don't know how you managed to get Artemis to like you, and Apollo doesn't dislike anyone. I would know."

"No comment on Hephaestus?" He mused.

"He doesn't like anyone." She shrugged. "Mechanics are his things." Then she glared at him. "That's not the point. You kidnapped Jason, Jupiter's son, you already have his daughter here, which he's still pissed about."

"I saved Thalia." He stated.

"For which he is grateful but she went off and joined you." She countered. "He doesn't like you for that."

"If I was anyone but Poseidon's son he wouldn't care." Percy shrugged. "What's Mars angry about?" He wondered.

"Kidnapping Frank." She responded.

"Clarisse knocked him out."

"He's having a long and endless argument with himself about that." She shrugged. "His daughter attacking his son blah blah blah something about Honor."

"And Hades?" Percy went back to looking at his papers.

"For him," she pointed at me. "And Hazel."

"Anything else the gods want me to know?" Percy asked slightly bored.

"Hera is pleased that you accepted this quest." Rachel admitted. "She says that Poseidon and her are at a agreement that if you finish this one, alive, you deserve some sort of reward."

"A lover would be nice."

"I think they have immortality in mind." She told him.

"That lasts too long." Percy responded.

"You'd turn down Immortality? Why does that not surprise me?"

"Well, that could be because you already saw it." He mused.

"It's one of the possible outcomes, yes." She agreed. "But I also saw you dying, that's quite likely too."

"Oh no, what ever shall I do." His voice was filled with too much sarcasm. "Another life or death mission. What am I facing? Sirens? Circe?"

"This talisman you're hunting for, could kill you." She answered, he looked at her for a moment. "And you don't give a damn. I don't get how you can easily throw your life away from something so stupid."

"Because I've accepted the fact that I'm a Demigod. Everything I do in life is dangerous and I don't expect it to be anything less." He responded picking up a piece of paper.

"Then why do you go out of your way to save people?" She hissed at him.

"You're the Oracle, you tell me." He shrugged. "Are we done? I have things to do." I could see the red starting to cover Rachel's face and she stormed out of the room. Silence returned and he continued to look over papers.

About an hour passed before I managed to get myself up into a standing position and walked up behind him. I saw the papers he had, most of them were reports written in Greek. My mind automatically translated them. The few papers I could see were about the Sea of Monsters. He then picked up another paper revealing a new one, it was a Wanted poster I had never seen before. On it were a list of people, Pirates mostly, and the Prince of the Sea was right at the top. A knock on the door shook me out of the list of names.

"Enter." Percy said and the door opened and closed. A girl walked in, she was quite beautiful and as I looked at her, her appearance kept changing. Her hair was long and black, her eyes were blue and she had on a beautiful dress without a single stain on it. It's color was royal blue. She had a tray of food with her, three bowls and three cups. "Silena." He greeted.

"Perseus," she returned the greeting with a smile and wandered over to a small dinning table. She quickly set it.

"Have I done something to anger you as well?" He wondered, watching her.

"Letting your looks go to waste could be a reason." She mused, turning to look at him. "Huddled up in this room or out in the ocean, show yourself off some more." Percy stood, taking his jacket off of his shoulders and resting it on the desk.

"Who's there to show off too?" He mused. "Chris?" A smile played on his lips. "Clarisse would kill me. Leo, that moron is like my brother."

"There's Jason." She pointed out.

"Who's as straight as a ruler, plus Thalia and Zeus would murder me."

"What about your shadow?" She pointed, he turned to look at me and I backed up a bit. He inspected me for a moment.

"Are you hungry?" He asked, then nodded to the table. Silena got up and practically dragged me to a chair. "The polite thing to do..."

"You're a Pirate Percy." She stated.

"If I remember correctly, so are you." He mused, going to sit in the last available chair.

"So, how do you manage to get everyone mad at you?" Silena wondered. "I mean I understand if Frank, Jason, Hazel and Nico here got mad at you. You kidnapped them. But Rachel?"

"I angered the gods." Percy shrugged, he glanced at me. "Eat, it's rude to deny food from a beautiful woman." He started eating the soup.

"You angered the gods, so Rachel is mad at you?" Silena questioned.

"She's their Oracle." Percy repeated. "Anyone else mad at me that I should worry about?"

"Clarisse,"

"She's always mad at me."

"Jason." Percy rolled his eyes. "Leo."

"That's new." He didn't seem like he cared.

"He says to stop angering Clarisse to the point of her throwing you through doors." She responded.

"Tell him to build a sturdier door. I'm sure a metal one wont break with my weight."

"You'd willingly get thrown into a metal door?" She questioned.

"If it will satisfy Clarisse's anger for a few hours, why not?" He wondered.

"Are you suicidal?" I asked him, they both looked at me.

"A little bit, why?" He responded. "I mean, I'd have to be at least a bit suicidal to be a Pirate and quite a bit more to think about venturing into the Sea of Monsters as much as I do."

"Actually I'd just call that being mad." I stated, he smiled a bit. "Specially after going after the Ne-"

"Necromancer's pendent, yes." He nodded in agreement. "It's an older legend and not many people have heard of it. Quite a powerful little thing, able to summon the dead or spread plague against it's owner's enemies. Pluto, had crafted this pendent when Rome had first been formed and gave it to a daughter of Hades. It had, of course been the reason for her to set the sea with the one she loved. Though not much is clear about the story afterwords. Some people say that he cheated on her so she used the magic of the pendent to destroy the ship, others say that the men on the ship had been driven mad from desire, and raped and killed the girl, throwing her body over bored with the pendant still on her neck. But the location of the myth has always been set in the Sea of Monsters, conventionally off the coast of Politeness's island where I need to go anyways."

I stared at him. "You... already knew?" I asked him. "You knew and you still kidnapped us?"

"I'm a collector, Lord di Angelo." He stated. "I go across the globe looking for rare, beautiful and dangerous things. If I come across something I like. I'm going to take it." Silena and him shared a look. "I had, originally hoped to just leave your port with information, of course information I already knew. I needed to conform the roomers I heard, which you had just done for me. Thank you." He paused. "But reaching your house and being greeted by your sister. I had decided that I wouldn't just be leaving with or without information. I would be leaving with a Jewel. And, maybe my brother of course." Silena made a face.

"So Hazel is a jewel is she?" She asked casually. Percy reached across the table and picked up her hand.

"Silena, you have always been, and will always be my most beautiful prize." He said to her. I saw her blush and look away, taking her hand back. "Besides, it's not just Hazel I wanted. I've been aiming to catch Jason for some time now, and Frank is a nice addition to my collection as well. Of course, you." He was looking at me. "Are breathtaking and I assume powerful, deadly if need be. With enough training and I'm going to assume much anger towards me, you'll mold into a lively first mate, or maybe even my co-captain." Even Silena looked shocked at that.

"You would trust a child of Hades?" She asked, "to that extent?" Percy didn't respond, and I had to agree with the girl. Why would he trust me that much? What was going on through the Prince of the Sea's mind?

Note: This is completely relevent to the story: For the next Bonus Chapter I'm at a bit of a tossup on who do do. Silena or Rachel, I know this wont be for a few more chapters but I want to see who you all would prefer to read first.

Note: This has been iritating me: there's a word I want to use but I haven't the slightest clue as to how to spell it and none of the spell check's are helping me, neither is the internet because I can't spell it. I tend to spell things as I hear them, which doesn't work often and I wonder how people can even read my non-typed things most of the time. Well the word (in my head) is: Guestered But this is not the proper spelling, so if you can read the same way I spell please help me with the proper spelling. I think the meaning is: To point something out, sometime using you hand or something you're holding.

Note: This is completely irrelivant to the story: I have this huge project dew at the end of the month for school, fun. It's a presentation for what I like doing with my life and stuff like that, required for graduation. So I may get distracted with this and forget to update, or be at a writer's block and update this a ton. (I guess it is sort of relevent to the story.)
