IN BETWEEN (Nico di Angelo) Percy Jackson Fanfic

Chapter 1

Camp Half-Blood. It was the place my father and mother keeps on arguing about. My siblings and I were on rapid training scheme. My father made us learn sword fighting, trainings, battle strategies and mechanics, Ancient Greek, Mythology and our given gifts, since we were  kids.

It became our games.

Besides school, the only place we are allowed to go is that camp father keeps on talking about.

"You have to let them go there!" Father argued.

"I won't! I am not going to let them go! You know what happens to Demigods in that Camp, Thanatos!" Mother shot back.

Yeah! Our father was the GOD OF DEATH himself!

"I know! But they will be safer there," He said. "Mavis... Please...." Father begged.

Mother cried and stormed out of their room. The four of us were shocked and sweaty in the hallways to their suite. Just then, our father went out of the room.

"Nathan, come with me please" Father waved to our eldest sibling, they walked meters away from us.

"What do you think is it about?" Wendy asked, she's the youngest among us. While me and my twin brother, Andrei were the second born children.

"Perhaps it's about the Camp thing" Andrei answered.

"Whatever this Camp thing is, Mother doesn't like the plan of us attending that camp" I pointed out.

Just then Nathan was already in front of us. Telling us to pack our bags for the worst to come and afterwards go to Father.

"Worst to come? Doesn't sound cool" Andrei said while the both of us walked to our rooms.

"Our life is never cool, Andrei" I commented.

"Is that what you think, Sera?"

"What do you think?" I asked my twin brother.

"The same thing!" We both laughed before entering our rooms.

I grabbed a black duffle bag inside my wardrobe and shoved clothes inside it. Clothes, Shoes, Toiletries, Cash, Keys, my dagger and supplies. I changed into my black jeans, grey shirt and put on a long black coat and lastly a pair of black boots. I chose black so it will help blend into the night and I will only look like a shadow.

I went out of the room and found my siblings already ready. I entered Father and Mother's suite and saw Mother looked so regal.

"Seraphina," Father urged me closer. I turned closer to my parents, father pushed a leather bounded book and a purse filled with coins. "That book is filled with everything you should know. Your other siblings also has this kind of book but each of you has different content"

"Sera, I'm giving this to you as a gift. This is the sword of Peleus, use it well. I know you're capable of using this Celestial Bronze," Mother handed me a long wooden case and I gingerly opened it.

Inside was a gold hair stick with a sapphire gem at the handle. I pushed the gem and the hair stick became a sword.

"It is the proper blade for you, my dear. It will magically appear with you once you lost it" Mother said.

After they gave us our 'gifts' our parents asked us to be in one room with them. Mother broke down into tears and Father had to look away to prevent himself from tearing up.

"Farewell our children. We will see you again," Father said. "We love you. This is for the best"

As we said our goodbyes and headed to the garage. I was the last one to hit the road. Then static came to my ear.

"Everybody in?" Nathan asked, it was a car convey anyway, all of us have a GPS, ear plugs for communication and a map in our cars.

Our parents told us to have different cars so in case a monster or Minotaur crossed one of us, we will be there to back up.

"In!" The rest of us said in unison.

Nathan laughed and told us to speed up, we still have two and a half miles to travel and we have to get to the Camp Half-Blood as soon as possible.

Nico's POV

It was already dinner time and I still didn't leave my cabin. It's already three months since the Gaea Quest and I still got nightmares and it's already five days since I got back from my dad's place.

I was curled on my bed playing an online game in my laptop with headphones blasting pop music and a few Italian ones. When a knock came on my cabin door.

"Nico! Nico!" Leo Valdez pounded on my door, frowning, I yanked the door forcefully, making him stumble a little.

"What do you want, Valdez?" I inquired.

"New comers! Quick!" Then he ran off.

New comers? On their own?

Curious, I took my jacket from the rack and slowly walked towards the big house wherein four different colored cars but with the same models were parked at the driveway. I couldn't help but wonder why they managed to get the cars inside the camp and nobody noticed.

"Nico! Over here!" Piper waved at me.

"Any news about the new comers?" Annabeth asked, clearly just arrived a minute after I arrived. She's curious as us, since they were expecting a sibling.

I wasn't though. Hazel's enough for me and as far as I know, we're the only ones left.

"They're four of them! Four siblings!" Percy answered excitedly.

"I heard they're from the same God or goddess" Jason added.

"Impossible! It's already threatening if there's two siblings from the same godly parent! But four?" I exclaimed.

They nodded. Just then, Rachel Dare, our Oracle approached us. Hazel almost screamed in terror. She approached silently and that shocked us.

"Rachel! Don't you dare do it again!" Piper said.

"Sorry..." Rachel was holding her laugh. "I heard about an impossibility, care to tell me?"

"We don't know about it yet. We're still waiting" I gestured to the closed house.

"Leo said they are four children of the same parents! PARENTS!" Frank exaggerated.

"And they just managed to get here without getting monsters" Hazel added.

"And they even managed to take their cars here without making any fuzz about it" Piper concluded.

We all fell in deep trance of thoughts just in time when the door opened.

"Maybe we are getting our questions answered" Percy said.
