(Willow's POV)

Okay, time for freaking out, one: Gen just tried to kill us, two: Nathan and Alleya just had a 'moment', three: MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN FREAKING CAPTURED, and four: Percy just appeared out of nowhere. Alleya tensed up beside me, I put a hand on her shoulder, gods, I'm getting compassionate.

Percy locked eyes with Alleya, "Leave her alone." I stated quietly.

Nathan glared at Percy, ooh, stuff is gonna happen. A son of Zeus and a son of Poseidon...funny that we seem to get along fine, "Who are you?" Nathan asked.

"Percy Jackson, and you?" Percy said.

"Nathan Pine," Nathan said.

I looked up at the sky, "It's getting dark, guys, we should start dinner," I said.

"Okay," Alleya said, obviously wanting to get out of this awkward situation also.

I started a fire and Alleya poked it with a stick, I dug through my backpack and produced hot dogs. "Roast 'em or boil 'em?" I asked Alleya.

"Roast," she replied.

"Okay," I said.

"What is Percy doing here?" Alleya asked as I roasted my hot dog over the warm fire.

"I have no idea, but he's making Nathan very upset," I said. When I said his name, butterflies erupted in my stomach.

"Percy needs to leave," Alleya said.

"Oh, thanks," Percy said sarcastically.

I whirled around and pointed my sword at Percy - well what I thought was my sword, but it was my hot dog roasting stick. Percy laughed and put a finger on it, moving it to the side. I blushed, I am such a blonde sometimes.

Nathan smiled sympathetically at me and sat down next to Alleya and I.

I had had a rough day, so I ate my hot dog, fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night to a glowing outside my tent. I pulled an hoodie over the tank top that I was wearing and padded out of my tent.

"Willow, hello my child," Poseidon said.

"D-dad?" I asked, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Yes, Willow," Poseidon said, "drink this, it will take you to Nico,"

"Will it take my friends too?" I asked.

"No, this is your quest, you will go alone," Poseidon said.

I was determined to prove myself, so I drank it, I saw Poseidon turn into a fish creature and grin at me, "No...No...NO!" I screamed as everything faded into black.
