Katrina Jackson

Another Chapter

I boarded the ship, Everyone was waiting for me Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason ,Luke ,NIco ,Melody and Leo. Frank and Hazel couldn't go they were both still banged up from the last battle. Also their was some Blonde girl which I was guessing was Nico's sister Bianca because of the way he was staring at her. I walked over to them. "Okay I've got the map" I should them the paper "The Closer we get to gems the brighter they'll glow" Everyone seemed to understand the point of the map pretty well.

Percy separated from the group. "Is everyone ready?' Percy asked everyone said yeah and then went to go and find their room. I began to walk downstairs I was about to open the door to my room when someone grabbed my arm I spun around it was Nico " Hey Kat is everything okay you haven't talked to me since you got back from the cave." I looked at him "everything is fine, I'm just ready to get this quest started." He brought his lips down to mine and kissed me gently on the lips the kiss was intense and cold, Like a winter's day. It didn't make me feel uncomfortable the coldness is what made feel real. I pulled back. My lips still tingled. "I'll see you at dinner" Nico said in a quiet voice. I watched him walk down the hallway quietly. Put my fingers up to my lips they were surprisingly hot. I flopped down on my bed. SInce when did life have to be so complicated.

Percy

I sat at my desk and stared at the map, Katrina had let me borrow it while she helped everyone set up. I stared at the primary colored dots and the one Katrina said she wanted to go after, gold was in england, blue was in hawaii and red was in Canada. I shuddered at the word Canada.. I got up from the desk and put the map in my backpack. I walked to the ship where everyone was waiting "Hey what took you so long" Katrina yelled from the boat. I shook my head at her a smile plastered on my face. I climbed aboard and went below deck to put my stuff away.

A little bit once all my stuff was away Nico came down to my room and sat on my bed " My sisters here" He said quietly he looked like he was on the verge of tears "What" I said in disbelief. Nico nodded solemnly. "She says she has something to do with the quest" Nico's voice was begining to break I didn't want to see the guy cry so I didn't press "Well tell Katrina She'll figure this out I mean it is her quest" I said. Nico shook his head in agreement and stood "I'll go do that know" He said and got up and left my room. I flopped down on my bed "Bianca's Back but how" I said I shook my head I felt the boat shake and knew that we were leaving. I closed my eyes and decided to take a nap maybe I'll be able to forget that any of this ever happened.

Bianca

I sat on my bed speechless. Nico didn't say a word to me I thought he would be happy to see me after so long Maybe he did listen to the solemn words I gave him the last time I saw him I thought back to when I last saw him "I told him to let me go" I said to myself. And he has, He's all grown up know he's happy at least from what I figured he was. I sighed and laid down when their was a knock at my door. I sat up and walked over to it. I expected to find NIco at the door but instead I got Luke. He gave me a half grin and walked in "Um do you have any manners?" I asked he gave me look that told me to forget it. "I see your apart of this know what's your part" He said his voice sounded genuine unlike the stories people have told me about him. "That's none of you business" I shot back it really wasn't about him it was about me and what I could do to help everyone. He stared at me and I stared back it went like this for a long time and I thought it would never end.
