Nico's POV

The conch horn sounded and the whole camp erupted in panic. I was one of the last to enter the Chaos cabin so I hadn't entered the place yet. I turned around and faced the big hill, expecting to see a mob of monsters attacking but only saw the usual trees.

"What's going on?" I yell, making all the muttering and yells of the crowd die down.

"Well, it must have been a false alarm. I think. Let me go check on Chiron, He usually sounds it." I saw Hazel make her way towards me.

I'd forgotten how much I missed her. Her name matching eyes shone but when she stared at me, they were filled with unfamiliarity.

"I think it would be best if you came too. Chiron should have been here to greet you." I was shocked as an understatement, that she'd ask me to join her. I mean, she doesn't recognise me but still she trusts me slightly? Maybe it's an instinct.



"Okay." I follow her to the big house and watch as she knocks on the door.

"Chiron? It's me, Hazel."

No answer.

She turns at looks at me with a distraught look.

I guess she wants me to try so I knock four times on the door.

"Chiron, open the door or I'm going to have to break it down."

Still no answer.

"Chiron. I'm going to count to te-"

The door swung open and there sat Chiron, in his wheelchair. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were red.

"Who are you? Hazel, what's going on?"

"Sir, the conch horn just sounded but it was a false alarm. This is one of Chaos' warriors."

He sighed like he understood then invited us in.

"Yes. I sounded the alarm by accident. I am sorry."

Hazel was about to speak but I cut her off,

"It's okay."

She stared at me like I had just grown three heads but I'm pretty sure I didn't like bouncy balls. Wait...

"So, you're a warrior huh? What is your name?" Chiron's eyes bore into mine,

"Well we did say we were going to reveal ourselves tonight but I suppose now won't hurt will it?"

I laugh as we all take a seat on his couch.

"No, it won't, Nico."

I had only realised he said my name after Hazel gasped really loudly and punched my shoulder.

"W-what?" I stutter really stupidly.

"I can see right through that disguise, Nico. I've known you since you were ten. You're what now, sixteen?"

I shake off my hood and laugh,

"Yeah about there." I look over to Hazel who's just staring at me. Next thing I know I'm being tackled to the floor and there's a frizzy haired girl lying above me.

"I hate you!" she growls,

"Awh, nah you don't." She looks a lot different as a 17 year old as opposed to a 13 year old. A lot older.

I kiss her on the cheek and she just blushes, I think that's the first time I've ever done that.

"Okay kids, up." Next thing I know, we're both standing up and saying,

"Yes, sir!" Sarcastically of course.

I'm not entirely sure what happened just there but Hazel isn't too mad I guess.

After we leave the big house, and me being the massive idiot I forgot to put my hood back up, Hazel is leaning on my arm and punching my stomach. The by passing campers just stop and stare at me like they're thinking,

'Holy Shit.' They're probably referring to my Dad while thinking that.

I walk into a wall but look up to see Percy.

"Nico...? What are you doing?"

Hazel just stares at him in confusion while I secretly shit my pants because his voice is so controlled he's almost mad.

"Chiron made me!" I say quickly,

"Oh, cool! Hey Hazel." He turns and walks away,

"How does he know my name?" Hazel just stares at his retreating back and then looks up at me, I explain to her that she introduced herself on Olympus and she remembers.

"You weren't there?" She says this as a question but she already knows the answer.

"No."

~~~~~~time skip,~~~~~~~

"Please stop, you're scaring me!" He cries, cowering away from me,

"I can't help this awful energy! Gods damn right, you should be scared of me!" I yell, towering over him.

"I'm bigger than my body." He whispers , falling to the ground,

"I'm colder than this home." I growl at him,

"Well... I'm meaner than my demons!" He stutter out and shields his face with his hands.

"I'm bigger than these bones."

Percy stares at me while the rest of the campers stand around us in awe.

"What the hell kind of games are you two playing?" A sassy female voice interrupts our game and yanks Percy up to the ground.

"We were just playing bro." He says and blows a raspberry at her. (like pffffft with you tongue uno?)

"Well stop. They're all watching so you might as well reveal your identity."

"Yeah? Well, what about you? I won't unless you do it first." He says like a big baby.

"Oh my gods." She rolls her eyes and faces the campers. She pulls down her hood and says,

"I'm Thalia Grace, yadayadayada. Your turn, Kelp face." Leaving no time for the campers to react to her revelation, she accidentally reveals Percy.

"Thalia! Now they know it's me. No fair." He says and flops down on the ground, crossing his legs.

I look over and Annabeth is staring with the widest eyes I've ever seen.

"Oh fudgeknuckles." Escapes her mouth and everyone looks over to her.

Percy pulls down his hood and just glares at her. I think that's what made her flinch.

Percy stands up and says,

"Sup, ma G's."
