This is the fastest I've updated in a while. What was that? Two, three days? About. So, because school has started again, these updates will become slower. Um, new character that I am Lara Daughter of Hecate came up with. She's a year younger than Percy and Annabeth (7 years old), about the same as Bianca. Do you think I should put Bianca's bday in October or like May? Tell me a month in the comments. Maybe I'll even set up a poll. I'll let you know. Enjoy the chapter.

Annabeth watches Nico carefully. He's staring at his sister oblivious to Annabeth watching him. Annabeth directs her attention to Bianca. Percy helps Bianca up.

"Can we go now?" Percy asks out loud.

Bianca looks up expectantly.

"Is she really gonna let us out that easily?" Annabeth asks.

Nico shrugs, "grab what you can get and think about it later. I'll lead out." Nico walks towards the nearest exit and walks out. Bianca hurries after him with Annabeth and Percy on her heel. Five minutes later, Nico is leading with Bianca walking silently beside him.

"Watch this," Percy whispered to Annabeth, gesturing towards the siblings.

Bianca scratches her arm. "Nico," she whispers.

Nico seems surprised, but grateful. "Y-yeah?"

"I…" Bianca breathes in. "I'm so sorry. I didn't even give you a chance to explain and I heard you singing and I was just gonna laugh and make a comment but you cut me and I just—"

"You're ranting again, Bia," Nico smiles.

Bianca sighs, "Shut up and take my apology, would ya?" She ruffles his hair.

Percy sighs, "Ah, siblings making up. It's a beautiful thing, hey Annie?"

"You're a weirdo, you know that? Let them have their moment," Annabeth says.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Annabeth..." Bianca drags out the word.

Percy smiles, "I'll just leave."

Annabeth grabs his arm, "Percy, no I—Hey, Bianca…"

Percy grins manically before heading over to Nico in the front.

Bianca frowns, "if you don't want to hear it Annabeth, I—"

Annabeth sighs, "I know it wasn't you Bianca—not necessarily but dumb blonde? That was not cool."

Bianca had the nerve to laugh. "Annabeth," she giggled. "You? A dumb blonde? Puh-lease. I couldn't even believe Gaea even had the nerve to call you, daughter of the wisdom goddess, dumb."

Annabeth smiles but then her face goes serious, "but that's the thing. I don't think it was Gaea." They turn a corner. "The screaming, yeah sure, but the talking? It didn't sound like her, right?"

"Yeeeaaahh, it sounded like me."

"Bianca, you don't understand. Your voice was raspy, it was flickering. Does Gaea's voice do that? No, it's soothing and smooth."

Bianca frowns, catching on. "And if it wasn't Gaea that means…she's working with someone."

Percy suddenly yells, "Nico, you're a genius!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10 minutes before~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Behind them, Percy can hear Bianca talking.

"Annabeth if you don't want to hear it…"

Percy glances at Nico. "So, Nico. What's up?"

Nico glances at Percy, "Well, I'm walking through some Gaea infested cave, but other than that nothing much."

"Cool, cool. You know you saved Bianca and I."

Nico almost trips on a rock, "H-how?"

Percy runs a hand through his hair, "don't take it to heart and neither will I? C'mon Nico, I was just about ready to tear her apart. Her words—no Gaea's words stabbed my heart. Then you saved me from doing something I would regret. I just had to say thank you Nico."

"Um, Percy, I don't think you understand it. I said that in my head. How did you hear it?"

Percy sighs as they turn a corner, "There was a day that I didn't believe any of this. The gods, Gaea. They were stories, stories that explained the world because the ancient Greeks had no other explanation. But now, I'm living this life. So, I've realised, a little thing like this is no longer surprising. Scientists can't explain everything, Nic. And neither can us."

They walk in silence as Nico soaks this in. He seemed to be studying his feet in their dirty, worn out sneakers. He wasn't even paying attention anymore. His feet just lead the way.

Nico looks up. Light shone through an entrance. "Percy, look," he whispers.

Percy suddenly yells, "Nico, you're a genius!"

They immerge through a hole in the middle of the forest. To their left, off in the distance was Pile of Deer Poo—excuse me, Zeus's Fist.

Percy closes his eyes. "It's good to be out and all but the light…it buuuurns."

Bianca shakes her head, "Percy it's nighttime."

"Wha—oh."

Annabeth jumps up, "We have to find Chiron."

They all look towards the Big House. "Race ya!" Nico yells, running off."

"No fair!" Bianca calls as the rest run too. The whole time Nico was at least 10 feet ahead.

Once they reach the Big House, Nico bursts through the doors yelling Chiron's name.

Bianca runs in after him and slaps a hand over his mouth, "are you trying to wake up the whole camp, Nico? We'll find him quietly, have the sleepover Percy promised and—"

"Nici Angel, how dare you!" a voice booms.

Percy holds in his laughter but a few giggles escape, "Nici Angel?" He bursts out laughing.

Bianca grins, "I've never had a sister before."

Nico groans, "shut up."

Annabeth does a double-take. "Mr. D, what are you wearing?"

He was wearing a long purple silk robe. The edges of the robe and the pockets were golden cheetah print. The matching pants set the deal.

"Have a problem Tanniebeth?"

"It's Annabeth, and no, I don't have a problem."

"Good, so you won't mind come back tomorrow when it's not freaking 2 a.m.?" he snaps.

Bianca frowns, "Mr. D, this is important, we have to speak to Chiron."

"About what?" A voice comes from behind them.

Chiron is in horse form and has and eye mask pushed up to his forehead and his hair, mane and tail are put into curlers.

"Why don't you just curl your hair with a curler?" Annabeth asks.

"Burnt myself too many times. Now, what is it that we need to talk about?"

Percy smiles, "uh, Chiron. We're back."

"Yes, and?"

Nico yawns, "tell you tomorrow. Let's go guys. Sleepover at Percy's in 5?"

A couple of yeah's and whatever's are tossed around and they all head outside.

"Wait, look," Annabeth says staring at the hill which Thalia's Pine sat upon. A young girl, no older than Percy and Annabeth, running up the hill. She was all bloody and a satyr is struggling to help her down the hill.

Bianca immediately takes charge, "Nico, you go and get Chiron, Percy, you get the first aid kit and Annabeth—"

"I'll get Mr. D," Annabeth says, running off.

Bianca runs towards the girl and the satyr and supports her from the other side.

"What happened?" she asks. She looks at the satyr. "Milo, right?"

He bleats, "Bianca, right?"

"Yeah," Bianca looks down at her hands. They're covered in the girl's blood. "Did you really have to show up at 2 a.m.?"

Milo glares at Bianca. "Some monster showed up at Miss. Milly's."

"Miss. Milly's? What's that?"

"The foster home."

They make it to the bottom of the hill. "So she's an orphan?"

"No, she has a god for a parent. Duh."

"Shut up, Milo."

The girl groans and opens her eyes. "Milo?" she croaks.

Bianca yelps and drops the girl. She slumps to the ground.

"Bia! I got the first aid kit!" Percy screams like a madman as he waves the little white box in the air.

"Percy! Thank gods, do something!"

Percy drops to the ground and rummages through the box. "I think—hey is that Milo?"

Bianca smiles, "I know, right?"

Annabeth runs up, her blonde curls bouncing behind her. Nico runs up two seconds after. "Ha, beat you Nico!"

"Wh-where's Chiron?" Bianca asks.

"And Mr. D," Percy adds, pulling out a roll of bandage from the kit.

"But most importantly Chiron."

Nico shifts his feet. "Uh, they wouldn't let us in."

Percy looks up from tangling himself in bandage. "What? Why not?"

Annabeth sighs and untangles Percy. "Because we're being a—and I quote—nuisance."

Milo bleats again. "I—"then he runs away.

Bianca's jaw drops. "Some satyr you are!" she calls after him.

She could've sworn he was about to stick up the middle finger, but instead he sticks out his tongue before disappearing in the trees.

Percy stands up as Annabeth wraps the wound around the girls head. "C'mon guys, let's take—what's her name?"

Bianca shrugs.

"Well, let's take her to my cabin. By the way, no one was in the infirmary when I checked."

Nico helps pick the girl up. She was fairly light and her choppy hair fell in his face. "Wow, you leave for one day, and when you come back everything is wrong."

Percy fist bumps him, "true dat."

The two boys carry the girl while Annabeth and Bianca ran ahead to make room.

Annabeth straightens the covers on the unused bed. When they had their annual sleepovers, Percy always slept under the bunk Annabeth was on, and Nico always sleeps on the bunk below the bunk Bianca was on. New Girl got the bunk bed on the other side of the room.

Bianca lays down on her bed. "Annabeth? Do you think the spider problem in the Athena cabin is fixed?"

Annabeth lays down beside Bianca on the bed. "Was there even a spider problem in the first place?" She toys with a loose thread from Nico's mattress.

"There wasn't, was there?" Bianca asks. "I mean, we kept on thinking 'oh, spiders must've tied us up, and kidnapped us.' Is that realistic?"

Annabeth sits up, "Oh my gods, Bianca!"

Bianca sits up too, "What?"

"Spiders, Gaea working with someone? Bianca! It's Arachne!" Annabeth hugs Bianca. "We figure out everything!"

A voice yelled from outside, "Annie! Bia! Open the door!"

They both scramble to the door and open it. "Sorry Percy," Annabeth mumbles leading him towards the bed they had set up.

"Did you even do anything?" Nico asks, setting her down.

Bianca looks offended, "We straightened the sheets!"

The girl groans, then slowly opens her eyes. They were golden-brown and her hair was long and chocolate coloured.

She moans and sits up slowly as her cuts fade.

Percy, Annabeth, Bianca and Nico were all on the floor playing Uno, and they hadn't noticed.

"Uno!" Annabeth screams, jumping up. "Haha, suckers!"

Percy sighs, and slaps his remaining cards on the floor, "Again? Really?"

Bianca collects the cards and puts them back in the box. "What should we play next?" she asks, heading over to the game shelf.

Nico leans back, "What do we have?"

"Hmm," she shuffles through the games. "Uh, let's see. Monopoly?"

"AKA, the game that never ends?" Asks Percy. "We'd be here till 10 a.m., next!"

"Banana grams?"

"With Nico, the kid who can't spell? Didn't think so, next!"

"I can spell!" Nico insists.

"Whatever floats your boat."

"Do you have candy land?" a voice from behind comes.

They all turn their heads around.

Annabeth smiles, "boy, can we do stuff! She looks a lot better!"

The girl frowns, "what's that supposed to mean?"

Percy stares at her. "That you were ugly and now you're n—"

"So!" Bianca yells, glaring daggers at Percy.

The girl walks past Bianca, and checks out the games. "Ooh, candy land! Boy is it dusty, though." She dusts it off and sets it down. Then she looks up. "What're you staring at?"

Nico shrugs and pulls out the board.

Annabeth coughs, "So, what's your name?"

"Alliana," she says pulling out pieces from the box. "And what's your guys' names?"

Bianca frowns, "um, I'm Bianca, that's my brother Nico, my cousin Percy and my friend Annabeth."

"Uh huh, so, do you have any more of that stuff?"

Annabeth furrows her eyebrows, "W-what stuff?"

"It tasted like warm brownies with whipped cream—mmm." She sighs and licks her lips.

Nico sighs, "What? We don't have any brownies—"

"The ambrosia?" Bianca asks.

"Sure."

"No," Percy snaps. "No more."

Alliana furrows her eyebrows, "fine, sassy."

Annabeth snaps her fingers, "It's sasassy Persay."

Bianca crosses her arms, "I'm going to sleep! This fight is stupid!"

"What fight?" Percy asks. "Whatever, it is stupid!" he buries himself in blankets and closes his eyes.

Bianca gets in her bunk and starts muttering in Italian. "Stupido, sciocco, balordo, tonto, stolto, grullo, scemo, screntino…"

Alliana leans in and whispers to Nico, "What is she saying?"

Nico shrugs, "stupid in various ways."

Annabeth frowns, "they all end in o."

"Yes, and?"

"And I'm going to bed," she yawns as she climbs into the bed above Percy's.

Nico climbs into his bed and shifts before closing his eyes.

"Aaaaand where do I sleep?" Alliana asks.

They all point to the bed she woke up in without opening their eyes. "Turn off the light too," Percy adds, his voice muffled in the pillow.

"But—"

"You could go outside and find a different cabin to sleep in. I could too." Annabeth says.

Alliana pouts, "You guys are mean."
"It's a talent," they all reply.
