Nico di Angelo, Flowers of Death

Chapter 6

-Ambers P.O.V -

It was him! He found me!

I tried my best to distance myself from him but he stayed near me. Those sea green eyes, and black shaggy hair sent shivers down my spine. He was holding hands with a blonde girl, the one I saw in the weird rainbow message. Both looked about 17- 18.

I had never got a good look at the boy because the girl had mostly covered the screen, but now that I saw him up close. I was scared.

"Hey I'm Annabeth and this is...." she faltered when she noticed I hadn't taken my eyes of the boy. He didn't seem to be bothered though.

"Hi I'm" he reached out to shake my hand. I shrunk away from him, tripping myself and falling flat on my butt. But still my gaze stayed on him. I could tell my eyes where round with fear, blood pulsed through my body, every inch of me screamed run.

He bent down to help me up but I slid backwards as fast as I could.

Stop being so scared you have fought him before, and won! But remember what he did to you, how he had grabbed you.

"Hey are you ok?" Again he reached out to grab me. I crossed my arms in front of my face and turned away. Blocking my head from a slap of punch.

Three seconds passed and glanced up at him. He hadn't hit me, why hadn't he hit me?

He is toying with you!!

"Amber are you ok "? I heard Nico's voice. Ripping my gaze off of him I looked at Nico, concern filled his eyes. I scrambled to my feet.

"Y-yeah" my hand started shaking violently. I did my best to stop it before they saw.

Annabeth was the next to speak.

"Ok let's try that again! Hi I'm Annabeth, and this is Percy"

"Percy" I said the name to see if it fitted him.

"See all better now" Percy made a gesture as if to slap me in the back, which later I found out was actually just to reassure me. I feel really bad at what happened next.

Because he stood I few paces behind me I used my elbow and hit him as hard as I could in the stomach . He bent forward in pain. I grabbed his arm and flipped him. Rolled him over so his stomach was on the ground and twisted his arm the wrong way. Not enough to dislocate it but enough that if he tried to move, it would. Then placed my foot on his back in between his shoulder blades. I bent a little lower to talk to him.

"Don't you ever! Ever! EVER! Touch me again Logan I swear you won't have a tongue to tell people what happened to your arm." He groaned. I let go of him. He stood up and looked at me while rolling his shoulder .

"I am really sorry. But my name is Percy"

"What the Zeus just happened. oh my gods are you ok" Anabeth cried and ran over to Percy.

"Wait. You don't know me"? I was baffled.

He look just like him only the eyes where different. His were soft and kind which hide some deep sadness below them. Not like Logan's which looked like he had just set a cat on fire and was willing to do it again. And Percy didn't have a scar on his forehead.

"No sorry I have never met you in my life" and of course I felt really bad about that. I bit my lip and looked at the ground.

"I-I -I" my stuttering got worse almost as bad as the time.... I let the thought trail off in my mind.

"Amber. What's wrong"? Nico took a step towards me concerned shine bright in his almond eyes.

"Nothing" I bite my lip and look at the ground. A habit I can't seem to break. I looked up at Nico making eye contact then looking behind his head. "Oh My God"

I could make out a lake with kids on canoes. Others were running with armor on and with swords or spears. A blue building with white trimming has over to my left and a bond fire with logs for benches was in my right. A little girl about 8 was tending the fire, she smiled at me.

This place was by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Kids from ages 7 to 19 walked around laughing and talking to one another. Everybody was armed with weapons and armor.

I noticed a dagger the blonde girl had strapped to her belt, but I didn't see the boy with one. Then I remembered Nico's sword. It was black and the rest where silver or gold.

"Welcome to camp half blood" Annabeth said smiling at me.
