I'm going to start putting a song at the beginning of the chapters. They aren't going to have to do with the chapter in any way and are just there because I like them! Ok enjoy...

Lexi's POV

I finally decided the beach would be the best place to look. To look for Nico. As I walked through the pathway to the beach I looked around for the mysterious boy. Sure enough I saw him sitting in the same spot as the day before fully clothed too. He was just staring at the ocean blankly. Almost as if he were waiting for something to come out of it.

The beach wasn't too busy yet so it was easy to get to Nico without having to wind through loads and loads of people and beach supplies. As I neared my new friend I called out jokingly, "Hey Neeks, Did you move since yesterday!?"

"No I just magically got clean and changed right here without moving," he sarcastically shot back at me. Rolling my eyes I moved forwards sitting down next to him. Today he was wearing similar clothes to yesterday. Black skinny jeans that had rips in the knees, a black T-shirt with Jack Skelingtons face on the front, and some dark grey converse. I couldn't imagine wearing something like that during summer.

"What ever Neeky," I mocked, using a new nickname he would hate for sure. 

"What did you just call me?" Nico complained, "You make me sound like a girl."

"Get used to it Neeky!" I laughed at his pouty face.

"Don't call me that Lexi!!!" 

"Hahahah Omg Nico... your... face..." I burst out laughing while pointing at his angry/puppy/pouty face. It was adorable in a friendly kind of way. 

"Whatever you ass hole." He said while looking out back towards the ocean a small smile playing on his lips. I laughed at his attempt to get me back and thought about this morning.

"Hey Neeky, you'll never believe me but something crazy happened this morning." 

"So many crazy hings have happened to me Lex I bet I'll believe you."

"Okay... well, I was walking from my house to the beach to see if you would be here..." I looked over to see him with his attention on me.

"Go on..."


"Well I was walking by the coffee shop I saw three teenagers running. At first I thought nothing of it, but then when I looked harder they all had swords in hand. No one seemed to notice though. Then I heard a screech and an old lady with an ugly face connected to a birds body. She was terribly ugly and weird. "

"A furie..." nico mumbled under his breath.

*Nico's POV*

"Lexi there's something I need to explain."

"What?" she asked somewhat concerned.

"There's this place called Camp Half-Blood and all the people that go there are demigods. That means One of there parents are human and the other..."

"Is a Greek god or goddess," Lexi finished for me. "Wait this is just a joke right?"

"Uhhh... no"

"Whoa so you think that I'm a demigod?! Are you a demigod? Who's your godly parent? Where is this camp? Can you take me? Can I go there?" Lexi bombarded me with questions. Of course I understood, I too had questions the night Percy came and saved me and Bianca.

"Well to start yes I think you are a demigod. Yes, I am a demigod and my father is Hades." I started answering her many questions, "Camp is on the Long Island sound."

"Oh my god or should I say gods," she laughed at her own joke, but just sat there seriously. "OMG! That's how you actually say it isn't it?" 

"Uhh yes." I answered, "but regarding your question about me taking you I must apologize, but I have to wait here and I cant miss a single day.

"Why?" she was curious about everything at this point.

"Because I'm waiting for someone."

"Oh..."

"I could try to call someone to come get you and bring you. If you would like me to of course." I suggested. I didn't want to hold her back from camp, and if she really was a new demigod it would be the best for her.

"I don't want to leave you all alone though." Why is she being so nice? 

"Lexi, if you are a half-blood it'd be best if you got to camp." I tried to convince her.

"Really Nico, it's fine I don't want to leave you alone."

"Fine, but we're calling the camp director."

"Okay" she agreed excitedly.

* * * 


We soon found out that Lexi is probably just a seer and not a demigod. Mostly because she's never ran into any problems with monsters till now and she only saw it not  actually had to fight.

"Hey Neeky, you want to meet up tomorrow?" Lexi asked after our long IM (iris message) to Chiron. 

"Sure why not?" 

"How about the candy store at eleven?"

"NO!" I quickly spat out. "I mean yes, but not at the candy shop." I quickly corrected myself.

"Um, okay. Then where do you want to meet then?" Lexi asked totally confused.

"How about here?" I asked hoping she'd agree. I had to be here. I couldn't NOT be here.

"I guess! What time?" she asked, silently wondering about my choice.

"Oh whenever I'll be here early." I confessed. It was weird actually saying it. I wasn't lying though.

"Okay! I'll try to be here around eleven. Sound good?"

"Yeah, sounds great!"

"Oh before I leave, could you enter your phone number into my phone so we can text?"

"Sure," I said as she handed her phone over.

I entered my number and smirked giving it back to her.


*LEXI POV*

I waved goodbye and started walking back. I smiled as I went to text Nico so he could save my contact. As I texted him I saw he saved his name as Neeky <3.
