Nico's POV
I stormed furiously off to my cabin, dialing Alex's number at the same time.
"Hello?" I asked when the phone stopped ringing.
"Nico?" Alex asked, her voice serious.
"Yeah it's me, sorry the boys, they stole my phone and called you as like a prank," I explained.
She sighed for a second, "Who was it? I heard my brother."
"Yeah," I said, finally in my cabin. I collapsed onto ny opd bed anf layed on my back. "It was Jason, Leo, and Percy,"
Awkward silence
"How are you Percy's brother? Why are you up on Olympus? And how are the supposed to be dead people alive?" I asked, hitting her with questions.
So she explained- she was to powerful and was too emotional, and they predicted shed interfere with Percy's future. So they took her up there. she had done some things and was offered a reward, hers was to bring the souls back to life.
I was in my cabin now, laying on my old bed, the black blanket warm to touch.
"Why wasn't I, the son of Hades, informed of the transfer?" I asked, snootily.
"You didn't ask, nor noticed," she stated laughing slightly.
"Oh, shut up," I exclaimed.
"Any other questions," she asked, almost irritated
I thought for a moment, "Yes. One more. Why, if you didn't want to see me again, did you put your number in my phone?" I asked, stonily.
"Because you owe me for saving you life, so if I ever need a favor, " she said cooly.
"What kind of favor?" I asked cautiously.
She sighed,"Goodbye, Di angelo,"
"Goodbye, Jackson," I hung up.
I sighed, looking at the chipped ceiling. I soon fell asleep.
The air around was chocking me, the sulfur air, the bitter tenseness of the enviorment. Plains of obsidian rocks covored the ground in all direction. Cliffs dropping into lava chasms, a deadly drop.
My hands were tembling, my eyes skinning the surrounding. But it was too late, I was met by glowing red eyes.I swung my sword, it slicing through the air.The Hydra head swayed away,and the monster vanished..again.
I tightened my grip on the sword, swirling around, waiting for the hydra to appear again. It did, a few feet from me. One of its' monster heads hurled fire at me, I swirved, ducking under the ray of fire.
I swung my sword, making sure to avoid the incoming head. I'm going to die. In tartarus and no one is going to find my body.
Suddenly I felt fire erupt on my back, burning flames. I screamed and collapsed on the ground.
The heads surrounded me, their steaming mouths and devilish eyes trained on me... Goodbye Hazel. Goodbye Percy. Hello, Thantos
Suddenly, I was covered in monster dust. My vision was slowly going blank, the edges of my vision going black.
Next I felt coldness wash over me, as if someone had dunked me in a tub of ice. I couldn't make out where the water began, but it was everywhere- drowning me.
Maybe it was fire, so hot it was cold. I wasn't sure. My mind couldn't function anymore. The thought of death occupying my dying head.
But I saw shady green eyes, full of pain and anger.
Percy? Was my fist thought.
But it wasn't Percy, because in the next frame dark hair whipped around her face as a gust of sulfur air swept through the plains.
Everything was going black now, I was drowning in the coldness and the burning.
The last thing I saw were sea green eyes.
I woke up, screaming. I jerked up my phone which has been peacefully resting on my chest fell to the floor. I was trembling too, my breathing rapid.
I quickly ran to the mirror in the bathroom. I lifted my shirt up, greeted by the gory scars on my back, Battle scars, as Hazel would call them.I turned on the faucet, the fridid water running through my fingers, then down my face.
I blinked, wiping water from my face.
It didnt make sense, my dream. I dont remeber any girl. I do remember the hydra... But not the girl.
I barely remeber anything about tartarus, but you think I would remeber about another person bekng in tartarus with me.
And secondly... Was the Alex? No way. But it does make sense, I've been thinking about her, so it's only accurate if she appears in my dream.
What I remember happening was another monster, one of the good ones, coming and saving me. Not a girl.
I must've hit my head or something.
Pipers POV
We were in the Athens cabin, laying over Annabeth's bed, or sitting on the cabin's floor. I was looking out the window and spotted an angry son of Hades. He was storming toward his own cabin, while tapping furiously at his phone.
I tapped Hazel's shoulder and gestured to Nico. She frowned, " Hope he's alright," she murmered.
She had stood up, probaly heading to check on him when the boys burst through the cabin door.
"Heard of knocking?" Annabeth asked indignantly.
Percy shot her a teasing glare," Yeah, I've heard of it. I even know how to spell it K-n-o-c-k-i-n-g," he said proudly.
Annabeth chuckled, "Wrong. It's I-T."
Percy wore a confused look, but then quickly shook his head, "Anyway, well you see a few minutes ago we were playing truth or-" he began prepared to launch into an explanation.
"We think Nico has a girlfriend," Leo exclaimed.
"WHAT!?!?!?," We all shouted.
We began shouting at them with questions, "Who?" "How do you know?"
"Settle down, children," Leo said, sarcastically.
"Tell us." I demanded, excited to hear this love story.
"Well there's this new person on his cobtacts: Alex J. We had tried prank calling her. But before that we asked who it was, he had shrugged and said no one. Then we asked if she was a girl or a boy. He tried to skip the question , but eventually said she was a girl.
Then I asked if it was a special someone and he was like 'Ew. He'll no' and we were calling her up. We asked if she was seeing Nico and she growled, asking who were we. Then Nico made a grab for the phone, we began arguing and she hung up." Jason, Leo, and Percy took turns explaining.
By the end our jaws were dropped. But I hook my head.
"I would have picked up on it." I exclaimed.
"Well it is Nico we're talking about, no one, powers or not, can understand him," Annabeth said.
Hazel grinned, "Hm.... This is interesting. We have to make him confess."
I laughed at Hazel's eagerness, we all wanted to know who Alex was.
" Do you think she's a demigod, I don't think their's a female Alex here at camp. and very few have the last initial J." Jason added.
"But Alex could easily be a middle name, or something that begins with J being the middle name, or it could be a code so we won't know who she is," Annabeth dictated.
"But it has to be someone Nico's style, dark and moody." Percy said.
"Black hair-dark cold eyes that look into your soul," Leo said dramatically. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, if she is a demigod at camp, we have to knock out all the girly-girls. And...anyone above seventeen and below fifteen. Who has Nico been hanging out with, and what times is he not home?" I asked Hazel.
"Well he usually hangs out with me, except the other night," she added suspiciously.
"The other night..." Leo said mocking a detective .
"I doubt it, he really did not look well, he even slipped some nectar into his coke, then nibbled on some ambrosia." Hazel stated.
We all sighed, we had no idea what Nico was up to.
"How about we set him up on another blind date- I have the perfect girl- and we'll
lecture him about when he has a girlfriend he can't go on dates with other girls. Maybe he'll surrender," I offered. We all nodded in agreement. It was a plan.
