"Almost done guys? I need to give you a tour of Amity!" Will yells. Annabeth yells yes back, and then silence. Annabeth and I get changed and I pull on a pair of red pants and a yellow tight shirt. I put on some red shoes too, and turn around to look at Annabeth. She has on red jean shorts and a yellow tank top with spaghetti straps on. She is wearing yellow converse. We grab hands and open the door to look at a smirking Will who has his arms crossed.

"If you guys are going to do that here in Amity, try to be a little more quiet about it. I'm pretty sure the whole hallway could hear every word," he laughs. I grin a goofy smile and Annabeth blushes deep red. We follow Will for our tour of Amity.

Percy's POV

Will gives us a tour of Amity. The fields, the main building, the small cottages spread out around the place, everything. Then we get back to our room right around dinner time, and Will snaps his fingers and groans.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce you guys to my friends who I stay with!" He says. "They are probably gone though." We walk down away to dinner and sit down and serve ourselves. Dinner sits on the tables with serving utensils to serve ourselves, along with pasta and bread. I serve myself a heaping plate of pasta and red sauce, and reach for the bread. Then I remember what Will told me and I sit back down and happily eat my pasta.

"How long has it been that you've had pasta Percy?" Will asks, slowly eating his pasta in small bites, unlike me.

"They usually have burgers and pizza for dinner in dauntless. Last time I had it was when my mom-" I freeze. My mom, probably dead. Kronos wouldn't have returned her safely. The force of it hit me like a pile of bricks and I suddenly lost my appetite. I push away my plate and gulp, forcing a tear back. I feel Annabeth grab my hand under the table.

"Hey, Percy are you okay?" Will asks, tilting his head in concern.

"Uh Will I wouldn't-" Annabeth starts, and she rubs my back soothingly. I cut her off, trying to force my feelings aside for now.

"No, Wise Girl its fine. When Annabeth and I first met Annabeth after falling into the pit, Kronos had my mom hostage, trying to get her to talk about where I was by-" I choke back a sob and take a deep breath. "He tortured her, but she still wouldn't talk. And then Annabeth and I got there, and he took us. When I got there and they constantly tested me about my you know what, Kronos told me my mom was safely at home and well. But you could tell he wasn't-" I choke back another sob and just take a deep breath, stopping myself from going any further.

"I'm so sorry Percy," Will whispers. I just try to shrug and Annabeth stands up.

"Let's gets back to bed. I think we're all tired. It's been a long...year. I think Amity will do us good Percy, as will a good nights rest. And Will maybe your friends will be back," Annabeth says. Will nods and I just stand up and follow them back to our room. As we walk down the halls everything comes rushing onto me. My mom. Kronos. Deaths. Everything. What's going on in Dauntless? But my mom. But my friends. But my dead mom. I almost break down but Annabeth's voice brings me back to the world.

"Hey Will, it sounds like people are in your room," she says. Will nods and turns the knob. There are four beds. Each person on their bed looks up, yet there are only two people on the beds. The third one, most likely Will's, is unoccupied. But so is the fourth one. Then I remember Apollo saying something about a guest staying there often. Will walks in and gestures for us to come in too. He shuts the door behind us.

"This is Celeste," he says, pointing to a girl with Medium length brown hair and pearl earrings. She has sparkling Hazel eyes and she is pretty short. She looks up from her book and smiles at us, giving us a small wave.

"Hey, Percy and Annabeth is it?" She asks, peering over her book.

"Um, yeah. How did you know?" I ask. She laughs softly.

"Will has been talking about you two all day until lunch," she says.

"You told her about..." Annabeth trails off. Will shakes his head no.

"I just told her you were coming. But she has her ways of knowing things," he says, and looks a little guilty, but you can tell he said nothing more.

"Guys, cmon. You don't need to act like I don't know. You two are divergent," she laughs. I freeze, and Annabeth just brushes her hand against mine.

"Uh..." I say brilliantly. Will just coughs awkwardly.

"How do you know? Are you some sort of spy from Erudite or something?" Annabeth asks. Celeste snorts and puts a bookmark in her book and puts it on her bedside table.

"I was dauntless a year before you two. I'm divergent too. I was friends with Will and his family. They took Chase and I into Amity and everyone presumed we were dead," she explains. I raise my eyebrows and a boy on the other bed looks up from his sketch pad at us.

"Hey," he waves. He has windswept black hair like mine, but his eyes are a light purple-blue color.

"So, yeah. That's Chase and Celeste. They're like you guys. And..." Will trails off looking at the fourth empty bed. Suddenly the door behind us creeks open. A pale boy with black hair and black clothes walks in. I stiffen when I recognize him. He walks over to Will and grabs his hand. The boy smiles-a rare smile- and then sits down on his bed. Then he actually notices who we are, and he is frozen in place.

"Nico...?"
