Percy scrapped food into the fire. "Poseidon, Dad, give me strength," He prayed before he sat back down on the couch.

Nico stepped up to the flames, "Hades, Dad, I hate you for sending me to school, and I could also use some help working out what Lydia is." He scrapped the food in.

"Still mad about the school thing, huh?" the son of Hades turned and faced his cousin.

"Yeah, I haven't been to school in like 4 years. But it's not your fault," he spoke, as Percy just looked away, and whistled. That was... suspicious.

"It's not your fault, right?" he asked in a dangerous tone.

"Well..." Percy drawled.

"I hate you Perseus," Nico said as he sat down next to him. Percy just laughed.

"If it helps, I have to go as well."

"Well you deserve this punishment," Nico stated and he was adamant. "Ever realised when we're together and you get in trouble, I get in even worse trouble."

"What are you going on about? You don't get in that much trouble around me."

Nico's eyes flashed blue, "Need I remained you how this happened?" he pointed to his eyes.

"You ghostified a demigod, even if he was a psychopath, he still had a soul," Percy stated.

"That's how my eyes turned blue, not how I got a second pair of eyes."

Percy examined Nico's face. "I only see one pair," He said smiling.

Nico smiled and shook his head.

"Yes, Nico, I remember how I bit you. It was an accident." Nico's eyes turned back to normal after the admission, his point made clear.

"Sure it was," he said, and then shadow travelled away.

Percy got up, entered the kitchen and placed his plate in the sink. He walked up stairs to the bathroom for a relaxing shower.

Meanwhile Nico was standing in the shadows, watching as the redheaded girl slept. He had no idea what she was. He had gone through a list of all the creatures he knew involved; he couldn't work out anything. Maybe Annabeth would know of a creature that smelled of death.

Nico disappeared into the shadows and reappeared in the cabin of Hades at camp half-blood. He pushed the door open and walked onto the campgrounds. He looked around, 'Where would Annabeth be?'

He decided to try her cabin first. He knocked on the door; Annabeth's brother Malcolm answered it. Nico always wondered and Percy did as well, why all of Athena's kids had blonde hair whereas Athena herself had dark hair, normally.

"Hey Nico, what's up? Aren't you and Percy meant to be in California?" he asked.

Nico nodded slightly. "Yeah, but I need to ask Annabeth something, she here?" he asked as he peered into the cabin.

"No, she's in the Arena," Malcolm answered.

"Thanks," Nico said as he ran off.

When he arrived at the arena, the first thing that happened was Mrs. O'Leary jumping on him, and starting to lick him.

"That's enough girl, good to see you too," he spoke after pushing her off, and patted her head.

He saw Annabeth attacking dummies with her Drakon bone Sword.

"Annabeth hey," he called.

"Nico, aren't you meant to be in California with Percy?"

Nico rolled his eyes, "You Athenian Children just love asking obvious questions, don't you? Yes, but I'm puzzled and need help."
