Finding Love In The Shadows (Nico Di Angelo leo valdez)

Training

I kissed him softly and told him goodnight and walked to my cabin . I told him I liked him too before i left , of course .

♥♪♥♪♥♪♥♪♥Next morning

I woke up with a horrible taste in my mouth. I looked at my clock , 9:26 ! How ?! I know I set my alarm I- Drew...!

Ugh! She needs to step off .

"Bella?" I heard Nico's voice call my name .

"Yea?" I called out in a shaky voice .

I heard my cabin door open and I hid under my covers "Nico! You can't be in here!" I yelld.

"I was sent, you missed breakfast" his voice was closer now. I peeked out from under my covers and he was holding out a chocolate muffin. I glanced at the muffin like a crazy person, snatched it from his hands and whent back under the covers.

"Thank you, know go away so I can get changed" I giggled. I heard him chucke and walk out. I dashes out of bed and threw on my camp half blood T , some black jean shorts, and my combat boots I got from Piper. I put my hair in a pony tail after brushing it and walked out of the cabin.

The sun was coverd by clouds but it didn't rain... Stupid boarders , we never get any rain! I love rain.

I was late for sword traing so I ran there and acted like I was there for the entire lesson. But the trainer caught it and smirked "Bella what is the bottom of the sword called?" his blue eyes FULL of sarcasum. Well I didn't whant to make him look stupid but I wasn't going to either.

"The hilt Mr. Jackson" I smiled.

"Thank you, will you be on time for now on?" he asked and all the younger kids giggled.

"Sure thing sea king" I smiled.

"Okay now chose your patners" he said looking at this blonde girl , who he then procceded to go and talk to. This little boy, well not little but like 14 came up to me and smiled.

"I'm Eric, son of Nemesis" He said sweetly "Wanna be my patner?"

"Sure" I nodded. Who I Nemesis? I know I know this. Hmm , oh well.

"Got your patners?" Percy asked when he got back. We all nodded.

"Good, now pick a sword, they are all the same so please don't fight over them" he laughed.

All the younger one ran to the rack and grabed a sword. I was the last one to get one so I got the worst, probly oldest sword. Eric had a pretty nice one.

"Okay m whoever disarms there partner first wins, then goes againtst a winner and so forth."

Eric smirked and faced me, wepon ready. I quicky gor mine ready as Percy blew his wistle. My first instinc was to jump back , and boy was that a good idea.

Eric had swung at my sword hard enough for the miss to stagger him, and put his blade in the grass. I took my chance and swung at his blade like a golf club, causing it to fly out of the ground. I smiled hapily and he smiled as well. "Nice one"

I had one my next one too, wich I felt bad for because she was only 9. My next one was a 12 year old girl named Nicole, daughter of Apollo.

Percy blew the whistle and I swung at her blade. The two wepons clashed together but she held on to hers. She looked pretty surprised, but I knocked it again and it flew out of her hands and she pouted "Gods" She laghed.

I was really excited , I was in the final round! But the problem was I was going against a 16year old son of Ares. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

He wasn't as bad looking a most of them but still intimidating. He wore his smirk tight and proud.

"Ready princess?" he asked cockily.

"When you are" I reaplied getting ready.

The whistle blew and I jumped back again , making his high streangthy swing miss, just because he was te son of Ares doesn't mean he is anymore experianced than the rest of us newbies.

I quickly swung my sword with as much power as I posibly could and you know what?!

I cut his blade in half! This old rusty ass blade but a perfectlt good one in two!

"Does that count?" I asked. Right as Percy shook his head I was disarmed , but pain spread through my hand and I yelled in pain. He had hilted my hand!

Percy blew the whistle louder and pushed the son of Ares away an kneeled down infront of me "You okay?" He asked as a tear sliped down my cheek.

"He broke my hand!" I cried. He patted my back and walked me to the enfurmary .
