After Aurora was claimed the camp continued to sing long into the night. Nico suddenly stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Away for a bit."

"Didn't you just say you had to stay and keep an eye on me?"

"You can cope for a couple hours I'm sure. There are things I have to take care of else where though."

"But where? It's not safe for demigods outside of here right?"

"This isn't the only place for demigods you know?"

"Really? There's another camp?"

"I can't tell you anymore. I swore to Chiron, I have already told you too much. Don't tell any one about what I said." Then he disappeared into the shadows and Lillith was alone. She smiled to herself and decided to head back to the cabin. She walked past the cabins. Cabin 16 Nemesis, cabin 17 Nik, cabin 19 Thebe and cabin 20 Hecate. That cabin made her stop on the door there was a plaque. It said 'magic is neither good nor evil.' Is that what she did? Magic? That sounded strange and a little ridicules. Magic...you can't do magic like that and not know that is what it was can you? Lillith sighed and left heading for the Hermes cabin. To her surprise when she entered she saw none other than Aurora backing up her stuff. She stopped when she saw Lillith. At first the two didn't speak but then Aurora was the one to break the silence.

"Don't expect much but I guess I never thanked you for saving me that time."

"That was more than I was expecting."

"Well you don't get much because it was stupid of you to do that...brave...but stupid. You could have died."

"That poisoned spike was heading straight for your head. If I didn't do something you would be dead right now. Either way we are still alive so it doesn't matter."

"So...when do you think you'll get claimed?"

"I don't even think I will." She said lying down on the bed. "I'm not even meant to be here."

"Why? Because Nico thought you were a monster? You can't let that guy decide where you belong because he is just creepy anyway." Lillith looked up from her bed.

"You know if I didn't know any better I would say that your trying to comfort me."

"You way. Don't be stupid I was paying back a favour. Now I'm leaving so you can be on your lonesome."

"Thanks for that...whatever it was."

"You know you should probably put some make up on your face."

"I know that you've been claimed by Aphrodite and everything now but seriously do not start giving me beauty tips. I don't need them, I am not putting pig fat on my face."

"Pig fat?"

"That's what make up is. Why don't you look at the ingredients before you but it all over you face."

"I'm not taking tips from a freak like you."

"Alright. Fair enough." She said and then Aurora walked out of the Hermes cabin and headed for her new one with her new half siblings...
