Nico dragged me all over camp.

"Nico. She's probably with Artemis and the Hunters right now," I said. He looked at me. He seemed anxious.

"I just want to make sure," he said. He ran into the Big House and into the parlor. I huffed behind him. "Where's my sister?" I heard his muffled voice.

"Nico di Angelo how many times do I have to-" I stopped short in the doorway. There was a meeting with the senior counselors. "Sorry to interrupt guys," I muttered. Percy, Annabeth and Chiron shared a look. Percy took a deep breath.

"Hey Nico. Let's take a walk ok? We need to talk," he stood. I gave him a questioning look. But he avoided my gaze. I grabbed Nico's hand to drag him out of the room and we followed Percy out. He told us what happened. That Bianca di Angelo was dead. My blood chilled. I knew that would hit Nico hard. That would mean he lost the only family he had left. And I knew that feeling all too well. Nico was silent. His grip on my hand was tight though. "She wanted you to have this," Percy gave Nico a figurine. Nico stared down at it.

"You promised you would protect her," Nico muttered. Percy looked down.

"Nico I tried. But Bianca gave herself up to save the rest of us. I told her not to. But she-"

"You promised!" Nico let go of my hand but held on to the god statue. "I shouldn't have trusted you! You lied to me! My nightmares were right!"

"Wait. What nightmares?" Percy asked.

"I hate you!" Nico threw the statue on the ground.

"She might be alive. I don't know for sure-"

"She's dead." He closed his eyes. His whole body trembled with rage. "I should've known it earlier. She's in the Fields of Asphodel, standing before the judges right now, being evaluated. I can feel it."

"Wait. Nico how do you know that?" I asked gently. But he didn't have time to answer me. Behind us a crack spread across the ground and four skeleton warriors rose. "How'd you get up here?" I asked narrowing my eyes. They didn't answer. They advanced on us. I stood in front.

"Claira!" I heard Nico yell. I concentrated.

"Be gone," I commanded. They all crumbled to dust and the fissure closed. Except for the fact that it created a crack in the marble floor of the dining pavilion. I turned to Nico. He looked at me. I could see the happiness in his eyes. He was glad I was alive. But there was very little happiness. All the hate for my brother covered the happiness pretty well. But I know Nico. I know him enough to know how he works.

"Go away. I hate you! I wish you were dead!" Nico screamed at Percy. Nico turned and ran down the steps of the pavilion and into the woods. I started to follow him but gave up. He was too far in.

'I hope he's ok,' I heard a female voice in my head. I froze. This wasn't a subconscious. I would know. Although this voice sounded strangely familiar.

'Who are you?' I thought. Hesitation.

'I cannot reveal my identity yet,'

'Why?'

'I cannot say,' she answered back. I turned to Percy. He was looking at the figurine. Then he looked at me. I turned and ran to the woods to try and find Nico. Pretty soon I heard Annabeth, Grover and Percy calling for him. But knowing Nico he would never answer. After a little while I decided to rest in a tree. I climbed a random pine tree that was deep in the forest. I sat on a branch and looked toward camp.

"Why did you follow me here?" a voice mumbled. Nico was looking at me, his eyes shiny from tears.

"Oh. I didn't know you were here Nico," I said. I could tell by his look he didn't trust that answer. "I swear to all the gods I didn't," he sighed and nodded and looked down at the pine needles in his hands. "What happened down there?" he asked.

"You unleashed your godly power," I was suddenly sure of it. "Your father," I hinted.

"Hades. Lord of the Underworld," he muttered. I nodded. "I'm going to-" he gasped when he looked up at me again. "Bianca," he whispered. I looked at him in confusion.

"What?"

"I can see Bianca. In you!" he exclaimed. He seemed to get excited.

"What? Spirits besides your own can't live in bodies," I said.

"But-"

"Whoa slow down Nico. Calm down. I'm not Bianca. She can't possibly be in me," I reached over and put my hands on his shoulders. He sighed and nodded. But he didn't look like he was going to leave that subject alone.

"I'm gonna be leaving," he muttered.

"Leaving?" I asked in disbelief.

"Please don't try to follow me," he pleaded.

"I know you don't want me too," I muttered. He started to climb down. "Here," I summoned the winds and floated us to the ground. He cracked a small smile.

"Thank you Claira. I know I can trust you," he looked at me. I could already see him getting older through his eyes. I never realized before but eyes can show you a lot. They really are the windows to the soul.

"You're welcome. Stay safe ok?" He nodded. I was about to turn around when he hugged me. I was a little surprised. He was up to my neck. Which was tall for a ten year old. I put my chin on his head and hugged him back.

"I will," he whispered. Then without a look back he took off into the woods. Now I felt lonely and cold without anybody. I walked back to camp hugging the sides of my arms. Percy, Annabeth and Grover were waiting.

"Anything?" Percy asked. I shook my head. I didn't want them to know. He walked up to me. I blinked something out of my eye. Then I realized I was crying. Percy brushed the tear away with his thumb and wrapped me in a comforting embrace.

"We have to tell Chiron," Annabeth said. I looked at her and shook my head.

"No," Percy agreed. Annabeth and Grover stared at us.

"What do you mean no?" Grover questioned.

"We can't let anyone know," I said.

"I don't think that anyone realizes that Nico is a-"

"Son of Hades! Guys, do you have any idea how serious this is? Even Hades broke the oath! This is horrible!" Annabeth said. I shook my head again.

"We don't think Hades broke the oath," Percy said for me.

"What?"

"He is their father. But Bianca and Nico have been out of commission for a long time even before World War II," I explained.

"The Lotus Casino!" Grover exclaimed. He told Annabeth about our conversations with the two children of Hades.

"Yeah. They were stuck in there for almost eighty years," I nodded.

"How'd they get out?" Annabeth pushed.

"From what Nico told me and from what Bianca told everyone else, they said that a lawyer came in and took them out and drove them to Westover Hall. Both don't know who it was or why they did that. If the Olympians found out-"

"That might start another fight. That's the last thing we need," Annabeth nodded.

"But you can't hide things from gods. Not forever," Grover said worried.

"I don't need forever. Just two years. Until I turn sixteen," I looked at Percy.

"But Percy this means the prophecy might not be about you. It might be about Nico or even your sister," Annabeth looked at me apologetically.

"No. I choose the prophecy. It will be about me," Percy said confident.

"Why are you saying that? Do you want to be responsible for the whole world?!" Annabeth cried.

"I can't let Nico be in any more danger. I owe that much to his sister. I... let them both down. I'm not going to let that poor kid suffer any more," Percy said.

"The poor kid that hates you and wants to see you dead. And has a strong bond with your sister so that could put him in a very confusing postition," Grover reminded Percy.

"Maybe we can find him. Have Clair convince him we're not gonna hurt him-"

"It wouldn't be easy Percy. That kid is very loyal to his choices. Trust me. Even in a game of Mythomagic-"

"Wait you played Mythomagic with him?" Percy cut in.

"What else would we do in our spare time after a whole day of training?" I asked him. He looked like he was about to laugh his head off. I summoned my fire. That stopped his smiling instantly. "Don't make me," I warned him with my glare.

***

We told Chiron about Nico's disappearance.

"So young. Alas I hope he is eaten by monsters. Much better than being recruited in the Titan's Army," he said. That didn't make me feel much better.

"I don't want to think about it," I muttered.

"Are you alright Claira?" Chiron turned to me.

"Except for the fact that Nico ran off into the woods and might be killed or recruited along the way for the Titan army, I'm all good,"

"You are the closest demigod friend to him. I expect that you aren't taking it well. All demigods that have friends run away like this usually try to go after them. I do not suggest doing that. A lot of people still need you here," Chiron said. I nodded.

"I won't try to," I promised. I started to walk down the porch. I heard Percy and Annabeth talking but my mind was still on Nico. I cared about the kid. We shared some good times. But now he's gone into the open world. And he's only ten. Then loud thumping rang from behind me. I turned and saw Grover running onto the porch. He was pale and looked tired but energized at the same time. He was panting and a mess.

"I... I was playing music in the parlor," he stammered, "and drinking coffee. Lots and lots of coffee! And he spoke in my mind!"

"Who?" Annabeth asked.

"Pan!" Grover exclaimed. "The Lord of the Wild himself. I heard him! I have to... I have to find a suitcase."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Percy said. "What did he say?"

Grover stared at all three of us. "Just three words. He said, 'I await you...'"

It has ended. And we're already at the halfway point of this series. Well I hope this chapter was good enough especially because the last two were crappy as heck. I will try to get the Battle of the Labyrinth - My Way up as soon as possible. Oh boy now we're going to get into the intense stuff! But again thank you so much if you have stuck with this series. I really truly appreciate it. And I know that I will be getting repetitive about this but I do mean it when I say thank you. But anyway thanks for reading!
