Chapter 18 & 19: The truth is out

Chapter 18 and 19

The truth is out

The next morning we went back to camp half-blood so we could bring some stuff along with us to Hades Realm. I was in my cabin and I took off my shirt. I looked in the mirror and saw that my tattoo had actually grown longer than before. I put on a plain black Tee with red skinny jeans along with black converse. I brushed my hair and let is down.

I grabbed my battered bunny backpack and made sure it had anything and everything I needed. I walked out my cabin and say Nico waiting for me. He raised an eyebrow when he saw my violin case in my hand and I rolled my eyes.

‘I have a concert in a week and I need to practice,’ I said walking down and walking past him. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him and gave me a kiss. I started to kiss him back when we heard a cough and we broke apart. I turned bright red and I looked up to see Nico and Percy grinning at me. I cannot tell u how bad I wanted to throw a rock at Percy’s head right now!

‘Sorry I interrupted but I wanted to know which way you’re going to take to get to your father’s realm.’ He said smiling. Nico’s face lit up as he looked at me.

‘My way,’ he said looking like a little kid going to an amusement park.

‘Leah you should be very scared right now.’ Percy said laughing and I was getting kind of worried. How exactly where we going to get to his father’s realm?

‘You ready?’ he said taking my hand. I saw Percy back up slowly and grinned at me. Suddenly I wasn’t feeling too sure about this.

‘What are we do-' I started then I felt it. The rush, the shadows surrounding us. I held tight to Nico for dear life. It was exhilarating, we were moving so fast yet we were standing still. I felt this when I brought me and Clarisse to the infirmary. I had no clue Nico could do this too.

Then we hit the dead stop and Nico let go of me and when I looked around I saw the sign, the really, really big Hollywood sign.

‘Hades’ Realm is in Hollywood!?’ I asked looking at Nico who was slightly panting. I ran to him and helped him stand up straight.

‘Are you okay?’ I asked worriedly.

‘Yeah, it just takes a lot to shadow travel and I’m a little rusty, and to answer your second question, no his realm isn’t in Hollywood, it’s actually underneath it.’ He said and my jaw hit the ground.

‘What?’ I asked out loud though I knew I heard him.
