author note: hey yall! Here's the final part! (spoilers for house of hades) (there will be nico cursing in Italian a couple of times, or just talking in it.) (ben curses in Italian once)

1st person pov (nico's pov)

     ben was just dragged out of the room, percy, leo, and I, were all trying to get out of our cell, and percy was limping.

     "What happened to you?" I asked him.

     "oh that's right," percy said, "you and ben were already knocked unconscious, and I was shot."

     "What?" I asked.

     "yeah." percy answered, "let's keep trying to break free though."

     we tried forever, but the doors weren't budging.

     "accidenti!" I cursed in Italian.

     leo and percy just stared at me.

     "What?" I asked them.

     "What did you say?" leo asked.

     "Nothing," I answered.

     "Okay then." percy said.

     we then went back to trying to break the doors down.

     when Blackbeard told the man to take me up to, I think he said 'my cabin', anyways, the man dragged me out of the room and took me upstairs, he opened a door and pushed me through it, and he then closed the door and I heard it lock, I turned on the lights and looked around the room.

     the room was painted navy blue, it had a bed against the right wall, there was a circle window in front of me, I rushed to it and looked outside, I saw camp half-blood, good were not too far from camp, I turned back to the room, there was a bookshelf next to the door, it was filled with book, I even saw some of my favorite books on there.

     there was a barrel full of swords, I walked over to the barrel and picked up a sword, I recognized it to be nico's.

     "what is this doing in here?" I asked myself, I suddenly heard a voice behind me.

     "Like it?"

     I turned around and saw Blackbeard standing there, I'm so dumb, I didn't even see him come in!

     I put the sword back in the barrel, "where did you get that sword?" I asked defensively.

     "I grabbed it from that short lad wit' black hair in the dungeon," Blackbeard answered.

     "nico's not short!" I snapped, "okay! maybe he is, but he doesn't like being called short."

     "son-" black beard started.

     "I'm not your son." I interrupted.

     black beard walked towards me, I backed away.

     "ye be," black beard said, "'n I be goin' t' help ye remember it."

    "I'm not your son!" I yelled.

     "aye ye be." black beard replied calmly.

     "no. I'm. not!" I repeated.

     "ethan-" black beard started.

     "MY NAME'S NOT ETHAN!" I screamed, "IT'S BEN!"

     "calm down." black beard said.

     "NO!" I screamed.

     "THAT BE ENOUGH!" black beard screamed back, I jumped back, he reminded me of minos when minos got mad at me. 

     "I'm sorry." black beard said, "I'm sorry fer screamin' at ye."

     "you're not my dad," I told him.

     "I am." black beard responded, and he sounded upset.

     "no your not." I said, "my dad is hades, the underworld god."

     "no, 'tis not." black beard responded, "ut it's late, 'n ye needs t' get some sleep."

     "I'm not tired," I told him, I never stopped staring at him, I would not show weakness.

     "ye needs yer sleep," black beard repeated, "we leave on the morrow."

     he then turned off the lights and walked out of the room, I heard it lock, I gave it a couple of seconds and then I tried to open the door, I slowly slid down the door crying, I was so scared, I didn't know what was going to happen to me.

1st person pov (piper's pov)

     we arrived at camp and ethan started explaining everything. he told us how when his dad's ship docked at Circe's island and his dad and his crew was turned into pirates, ethan escaped by taking a random ship that was there, he was stuck on the sea trying to find his way home when this group of men climbed on Ethan's ship and took him hostage, he escaped today after three years or being trapped.

     "that sounded horrible." will said.

     "'twas." ethan replied, "'n the worst part, I still dunno if me dad be aye."

     "your dad's fine ethan." annbeth told him, "but he took some of our friends hostage."

     "Wha'?" ethan asked confused.

     "yeah." I answered, "and one of them looks strangely like you."

     "Wha' does me dad wants wit' 'em?" ethan asked.

     "his ship." will answer.

     "Wha' happened t' his ship?" ethan asked.

     "my boyfriend and I stole it to escape from Circe's island." annabeth answered, "but it was destroyed."

     "Did ye tell me, dad, that?" ethan asked.

     "We tried," annbeth said, "but he didn't believe us."

     "How can I help?" ethan asked.

     we then told him our idea, it was late so we had to get to bed, we're saving our friends tomorrow, that's certain.

1st person pov (ben's pov)

     I don't know what time I fell asleep, but I ended up falling asleep against the door, I woke up when I heard Blackbeard yelling from outside the door.

     "OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" he yelled.

     I realized he was trying to open the door but I was blocking it, I moved out of the way and Blackbeard came barreling in.

     "wha' we be ye doin'?" Blackbeard asked.

     "Sorry, I fell asleep against the door," I answered. 

     "It's alright." black beard replied. "ready?"

     "for what?" I asked him.

     "its time to get our ship back, or we throw the captives in the water." black beard answered

     "you mean your ship," I responded, "and were not throwing my friends in the water!"

     "they be nah yer mateys." black beard said.

     "yes, they are!" I exclaimed.

     "no they aren't," black beard replied, "they we be holdin' ye captive fer five years."

     "no, they weren't." I told him, "I only arrived at camp two months ago!"

     "it's aye." black beard said, "ye're safe now me son."

     "IM NOT YOUR SON!" I screamed.

     "ye be, 'n ye're safe now," Blackbeard replied.

     "one, I'm not your son," I told him, "two, ill never be safe, I'm a demigod."

     "you are me son," Blackbeard said.

     he then whistled and the man that first put me in the room came in.

     "Israel, take 'im up t' the deck," Blackbeard said.

     the man, Israel, then walked towards me, I backed up and grabbed nico's sword from the barrel. I pointed it at them.

     "Stay back!" I ordered.

     "ethan-" black beard started, he made a step towards me and I tighten my grip on the sword.

     "stay back!" I screamed.

     "let's just calm down," Israel said.

     then I heard a noise from outside.

     "BLACKBEARD!" a voice screamed, it was will's!

     I turned to the window and Israel grabbed nico's sword from my hand, accidenti! I cursed in my head.

     Israel grabbed me and dragged me out of the room.

1st person pov (will's pov)

     seconds after I screamed, Blackbeard, ben, and a man holding ben, entered through a door.

     "what do ye want?" Blackbeard asked.

     "We have your ship!" I lied, "let my friends go!"

     Blackbeard snapped and three men went through a different door, seconds later they appeared, they each had their swords against my friend's throat.

     "wheres me ship?" Blackbeard asked.

     "right here!" I lied, hazel appeared with the "ship" and Blackbeard's face lit up in joy.

     "That's me ship!" he exclaimed, "I have me son and me ship back!"

     "Now let my friends go." I ordered.

     "yes yes," black beard said.

     they then release percy, leo, and nico, nico turned to ben.

     "let my brother go." nico ordered.

     "This ain't yer heartie!" Blackbeard argued, "it's me son!"

     "no he's nah!" ethan yelled taking off annabeth's invisibility cap.

     "huh?" black beard asked, everyone that was on the ship looked very confused.

     Blackbeard turned and look at ben, "how come ye look like me son?!"

     "I don't know." ben answered, "but can I go home now?"

     "I suppose," Blackbeard said.

     ben was then let go and ran to nico, they got off the ship.

     "hey wait!" nico yelled, "we need our swords!"

     "shiver me timbers," Blackbeard grumbled, he then gave nico his sword back, and when he looked for Percy's sword he got very confused.

     "Where did the sword go?" Blackbeard asked.

     "Thanks," percy started, he then took out riptide, "but I already have mine."

     ethan then ran to his dad and hugged him.

     "thank ye." Blackbeard said, "thank ye fer bringin' back me son."

     "anytime." annabeth replied.

     Blackbeard and his crew then sailed off.

     I ran up and hugged nico.

     "you are never leaving my side again," I told him.

     "qualunque cosa tu dica amore mio." nico replied in Italian.

     "Bene," I said.

     nico looked at me shocked seeing as I replied in Italian.

     "non metterlo in discussione." I told him.

     I then took percy to the infirmary and heeled him, we then went back to our demigod life.
