Be Aware (Demon! Percy Jackson)

The Show Must Go On

Nico:

Why the gods wanted me at one of their meetings, I have no idea. But my dad told me to meet him in Olympus for their meeting.

So I leave Camp Half-Blood. Head to Olympus. Met my dad there as the meeting started.

"I see you brought him as requested, Hades." Zeus commented.

"I could've brought him." Mr.D commented. "I'm at the camp, too."

"Now what's this emergency about?" Athena asked.

"And why was I invited?" I asked.

"Well you are a King." Apollo commented.

"I'm not a god." I clarify. "Much less an Olympian one."

"While that is true, Nico." Zeus spoke. "We have a little Fiasco within Camp Half-Blood that needs to be taken care of. You bejng King of Ghosts would be most familiar with the concept as being a demigod inside the camp."

"Okay." I said. "Is something in the camp? Windego? Jin? Ghost?"

"Not quite." Mr.D told me. "A demon. And it's inside of the demigods. It has been apparently. We don't know what one. But it has been inside camp for a while."

"Alright." I said. "What do you need me to do? Gank it? Send it back to hell? Cure it? Ward it away?"

"Kill if possible." My father told me. "If not, exorcise it. Either it, get it away from Camp."

"I can do that." I said.

With that, they dismissed me.

Me, Bianca, and our mother were Hunters. She died when I was young. About 8. I have her journal. Wrote everything about the evil bitches that she knew in it. I have all her supplies. I stole an angel blade from the Winchesters on the run once. Had to do something. So I got back into hunting. No one at camp knows. Not even Hazel. When I'm gone, I'm running errands for dad to her knowledge, and Dad backs me up on it, too. It's a deal we have.

Our little excuse for this, to find the demon, was that mid summer inspection. We usually do it in a week. A few people do it. Check every cabin. Start on opposite ends. This year, I'd do it with Percy.

Oh Percy... The boy I loved and with a love that wouldn't go away any time soon.

Chiron along with Mr.D when he returned called Percy and myself to the Big House. Percy grew an inch or two ever since the war. He's a tall ass motherfucker. His relationship with Annabeth has gone down hill since Fathers day.

Annabeth got pregnant.

The baby wasn't Percys. Last May. Told him Fathers Day.

So downhill by it doesn't exist anymore.

Yup.

"I was sent down here..." Percy said, walking in. I was sitting down already. Just waited here once I got back. "Nico? What's going on?"

"Sit." Mr.D told him as Chiron walked in from the other room.

"Are we in trouble?" Percy questioned. He knew it wasn't supposed to be inspection until next week.

"No, not at all, Perseus." Chiron assured him. "A little change in plans. The Hunters and the Amazons are going to be visiting next week, so we must do inspection today. Both you and Nico will do it. Look thoroughly. You each have 15 minutes to tidy up your cabin, start on opposite ends. Meet in the middle, discuss a little, and continue. Then report back. Go."

So I head back to my cabin, running a list of people in my head who could potentially have of the demon inside of them. Short list. And all unlikely.

"What's going on?" Hazel asked me. "Whyd they call you down to the Big House?"

"Not in trouble." I told my sister. "Just mid-summer cabin inspection."

"Mid-summer what?" Frank asked.

"3 times every summer." I told them. "Camp goes through all the cabins and inspects them. Not too bad. They don't dig into your personal stuff, don't worry. We have 15 minutes to clean this place up. Percy and myself are doing it. So it'll be checked twice. You're not supposed to be in the cabin when its checked. Since the state cant get in for health inspection, and all that they have us do it and we mail the info. Done it ever I've been here. It's normal.

So we got to cleaning.

The alarm went off at 15 minutes, Percy and myself grabbed the clipboards. He started at the first cabin, I started at the last 

There was jack the first half. Pretty nice cabins. But nothing like demon crap.

I'd look through the cabin a bit more than I should, find nothing, grade it 1-5, any comments about it, and move on.

Until I got to Cabin 3. Percys cabin. I've never been inside his cabin.

Tyson built a little layer under ground for Percy.

I was in his room, looking around. Tyson was here so it was pretty clean. A few things here and there and I accidentally bumped his dresser and noticed something behind it. A door. Unlocked.

Curious, I move the dresser, open the door, and go down the stairs to the next door, and oh my gods...

I looked around. Not wanting to believe what I saw.

On the walls were chains with cuffs on the end for like torture. A shit ton of torture devices. Even an angel blade. A portrait of Percy with solid black eyes hung in the center of the wall in front of me. A few books. It was just.. Something else.

Unbelievable.

Our leader. Our hero. Our Savior.

Was a demon.
