Falling for the child of death (Percy Jackson fanfic)

By the lake...

After the game a load of people said hi to Lillith for the first time and said well done and congratulations on winning. Annabeth had been released from her ghostly chains and even congratulated Lillith herself but then she went to find Percy who was sat at the table, looking really worn out and drinking something. Lillith said hi to everyone but the one person she was looking for she couldn't find. Nico had vanished. She hadn't seen him since her fight with Annabeth. Where had he gone? Chiron had told her that she should move to the Hecate cabin tomorrow morning and he had quietly asked her about the spreading to the poison which she told him was okay and that the stuff he gave her was working to slow it down.

"Hey there she is." Said a girl with dark hair and green eyes. Lillith recognised her as the girl that Clarisse called Lou Ellen before the game began.

"Hi." Lillith said still on the look out for a Nico that wasn't there.

"We've never officially met. I'm Lou Ellen daughter of Hecate, head counsellor of my cabin."

"Lillith Lamwood...daughter of Hecate." Lou smiled at her.

"Feels weird the first time you say it right? You'll get used to it. Anyway welcome to the cabin you should met the rest of your half brothers and sisters." Then one boy and two girls appeared behind her. "This is John, the only boy in the cabin."

"On offence but I did hope that the next one to join us would be a dude. Gets kind of lonely with a cabin full of girls."

"Oh stop moaning. This is Fran and that's Danny." She said pointing at the two girls. They all looked quiet similar. They are had dark hair like Lillith but John and Fran had green eyes just like Lou while Danny had hazel eyes which seemed a mixture between Lillith chocolate brown eye colour and Lou's.

"It's nice to meet you all I'm Lillith."

"So you have to tell us where you learnt to make mistforms that powerful." Said Fran

"Mist what?"

"Mistforms are the things you made to stop Annabeth from moving. We can all do it but it does take us a lot of effort." Explained Danny.

"Um how did I do it? All I did was think that I wanted her to stop moving and those...mistforms came out of nowhere."

"You just thought it?" Said John in shock.

"Well yeah."

"Wow that's amazing. We all have to say spells in greek and all you have to do is think about it. You must be mega powerful." Said Fran with an excited smile.

"Yeah that is impressive." Said Lou with a thoughtful face. "You might be more powerful than me. If I'm not careful you might end up taking my place."

"Oh no I don't want to be head counsellor. I wouldn't be very good at it."

"That's what I thought until I became one. I'm sire you could do it."

"Thanks but I'm not planning on taking over."

"So when you moving in?" Asked Danny.

"Tomorrow morning hopefully."

"Great we can have a mini party to celebrate." Said Fran looking at Danny excitedly.

"Hey before we got here you looked like you where looking for someone." Said John.

"Yeah I was. I was looking for Nico."

"Oh I saw him head towards the lake." Said Lou.

"Really? Thanks guys."

"That's what families for right?"

"Family...yeah sure thanks." She said running off towards the lake...

Lillith found Nico said by the lake looking out over it. It was were she came after the archery incident. It was a calming place and one she felt that she was safe in. She came and sat next to Nico who glanced at her to the side when she sat down but said nothing.

"Why did you just leave?" She asked after a while.

"Because you were busy after you got claimed everyone kind of seemed more important than I was to you."

"No that's not it at all." Lillith snapped. "I was looking for you but you were nowhere to be seen."

"You had everyone else there so why did it matter?"

"Because they weren't you." She said making Nico's eyes widen. "They don't know what I am and you do...yet you still talk to me. If everyone here new what I was they wouldn't come near me. Heck they would probably through me out of camp at the first chance they got. You were the only one I wanted to see after I got of that rock and you left me alone."

"Lillith...I'm sorry...I really didn't think you would want me there."

"Then you were wrong. I'm not one to abandon people that have been there for me just because other people want to talk to me suddenly. In a few weeks this will all die down and nobody will care anymore. They will leave and I'll be on my one, the freak that everyone stays away from again...but when that happens I want to count on you to still be there. I don't care about everyone else as long as your there I can cope."

"I will be there."

"You sure? Because tonight you took the first chance you got to do a runner and when I needed you as well. I'm not comfortable with crowds like that. I'm the girl that hides at the back of the class tries her best to stay out of sight so in situation like that I'm not comfortable. I needed a friend and I looked to you and you weren't there Nico."

"I know I wasn't. I'm sorry Lillith. I didn't know you relied on me that much." Nico moved closer to her and lillith leaned into him a little. Nico felt nervous, he wasn't good at this stuff bit neither was Lillith. Very slowly Nico put his arm around her shoulder. Lillith lent in further and buried her head into his neck and the two looked out across the lake together. "I'm sorry Lillith."

"It's okay I forgive you. Your here now that what counts..."
