The Army of Chaos

A...Welcoming...Return

Annabeth's PoV

We were close to camp. I could feel it.

After a half an hour of walking through the forest, I spotted Zeus' Fist.

I grinned and ran to it while yelling, "Look Thals! We made it!"

Thalia smiled and raced up next to me, "Yeah, c'mon lets go."

Both of us sprinted through the trees until we saw the Golden Fleece shimmering in the moon light. I ran through the boundary and collapsed. Darkness clouded my vision and I realized how tired I was. I heard Thalia hit the ground near me.

Then, my vision went black.

Zoë's PoV

I stared at Omega in shock, "What?!"

Omega sighed, "Look Zo, I used to have a life before this one-"

He didn't get much more out. We heard footsteps heading toward us.

Immediately I stood up as well as Omega. I locked eyes with him and he slipped his mask and hood on. (AN: Guys, his mask is kinda like a bandana that only covers his mouth and the hood only shadows his face so you can only see his eyes.)

Omega quickly turned invisible and I followed his lead. I could still see him though.

I put my back against Omega's and I could feel his arm move to clutch his sword. He brought the long silver blade out. It was invisible as well though. I pulled out my bow and notched a silver arrow.

Then, a boy appeared.

His black hair covered his obsidian eyes. His pale arms weakly gripped his sword. His baggy black t-shirt was shredded and his pants ripped. He stumbled over his feet as he made his way to us.

Even though he couldn't see us, I gripped my bow tighter. I knew that whatever was happening would pass if we didn't do anything.

But that plan went down the drain as Omega let out a strangled gasp, "Nico."

Nico's PoV

"Nico."

My head turned to the sound.

There was a teenager standing there. He had a nice tan and he wore a ripped shirt. His black skinny jeans were ripped worse than mine. His muscular arm - muscles that you can only get from years of sword-fighting - was rapped in white tape though red was staining it. His hood, which was connected to his shirt, was over his head sending shadows over his face. A black bandana covered half his nose and anything below.

But his eyes was the thing that made Nico bring out a startled gasp.

They were sea green.

Like the ocean. Like Percy.

Beside him stood a beautiful girl. Her sleek black hair paraded over her shoulders to her waist where it cut off in layers. Her perfect eyebrows were arched at me. Her eyes, silver, shone in the moonlight. Her nose, a slight snub, was wrinkled as she gazed at me. She wore a silver tank top with armor over it. She wore a black cape that surrounded her slightly brown arms. She wore skinny jeans that ended into a pair of black combat boots that matched the boys. She spoke, "Who are you?"

The boy said, "He's Nico, Star, Nico di Angelo."

Star tilted her head at me, "Nico di Angelo," then realization dawned on her face and she whispered, "Bianca."

I snapped my head toward the girl, "My sister. What about her?"

A sad smile grew across the boy's face, "Nico, long time no see buddy?"

He stepped towards me, his arms outstretched for a hug. I frowned, "Who are you?"

His sea green eyes narrowed, "I thought you would recognize me by now, after all, I am the one that helped you figure out that you're a half-blood."

My grip on my sword got even more loose, "You..."

He smiled, "Yup," then he scrunched his fingers back and forth in a 'give me' gesture, "You gonna leave me hanging?"

And then I caved.

All my pain, anger, happiness, sadness, and everything else I've ever felt pooled out of me. I held my breath and dodged into Percy's arms. I hugged him tight.

He was taller than me. Stronger than me. He was everything I wish I was. I was everything he was glad he wasn't. But we mixed and he held me tight.

And then,

I cried.

I sobbed, cries raked through me and I clutched Percy. Then with blood shot eyes, I looked up, "Why'd you leave me?"

He smiled, "I didn't. Hope left me. Then I left to where I could find more."

Star then stepped forward, "Nico di Angelo, I am Zoë Nightshade, known as Star among Chaos' Army."

I looked at her, and pulled away from Percy who had already let go, "Hello."

Percy asked, "What are you doing here Nico?"

I blushed, "I-I was looking for you..."

He grinned, "See! I am the type of person you look for!" (AN: haha I dont even know what i did there)

I shook my head. Zoë then said, "Well, we should be heading back. Percy can Vapor Travel me. You can Shadow Travel."

I stepped into the shadows before Percy quickly said, "Wait. Nico."

I looked at him, "Yeah?"

He spoke, "You cannot tell anyone our names. At camp with the rest of the army, we go by Omega and Star. Okay?"

I nodded, "Got it."

Then I faded into the shadows.

OKAY!

So I made this one longer than usual by like... a hundred words.

Anyway, sorry for not updating and stuff. Life's getting pretty hard.

I found out that my relief is listening to Jon Bellion and reading.

Oh well.

Soooo... Stay tuned for the next chappie.
