IN BETWEEN (Nico di Angelo) Percy Jackson Fanfic

Chapter 3

"I'm going home!" I exploded, jumping to my feet and striding towards the Thanatos cabin.

I looked inside the drawers and didn't found my keys.

I put it here last night!

I stopped searching and went out, that's when I saw the son of Hades, I was messing up with last night.

"Looking for this??" He wiggled my keys. My face turned pale.

"H-how d-did y-you..." I stuttered out, no one's with me inside the cabin. 

"Shadow travel. My speciality" He mocked.

"Give it to me!" I hissed.

"No. We are not allowed to go out of the camp until we ask permission from Chiron or Mr. D"

"I don't need their permissions!" I argued back.

"Unfortunately princess, we all have to" He shrugged.

At my peripheral vision, my twin brother was already running towards me. Followed by Wendy and Nathan.

"Sera!" Andrei slammed into me, making me lose my balance and almost fell on my bum. I looked up to see Nico caught me before I fell.

Our eyes locked for a moment before we heard a clear of a throat. We break away and looked at the person who did it. It was his friends.

"Nico, aren't you going to tour Phaedra?" Piper said.

"Uh... Yeah" Nico answered shyly.

"What's this tour?" My sister asked, she looooooooooves touring.

"Annabeth and I will tour you around camp," Piper answered sweetly.

Don't you dare use charm speak to my sister!

"Percy will take Andrei and Jason will take Nathan" Annabeth said.

"How about Sera?"

Seriously sis!?

"Nico will take care of her" Percy answered.

My siblings gave me a sympathetic smile before going with their guides. I was alone with 'Death Breath'.

"Shall we, princess?" He mocked.

"Don't. Call. Me. That!" I said coldly.

Nico chuckled and pulled my hand for me to follow him.

----------

"That's the Strawberry Fields"

"That's the dragon Peleus and the Golden Fleece"

"That's where our oracle's staying"

"That's cabin two or Hera's cabin"

"Then that's the big house"

"The infirmary"

"The armory"

And many more places he pointed and explained. I was silent the whole time, memorizing, calculating and figuring what place the best for a person like me.

Just then, he led us to the woods and to a big pine tree.

"This is the most important tree in the whole camp" He touched the trunk and inhaled.

"Thalia Grace's Tree. Camp Half-Blood's protection from monsters" I whispered, praying he didn't heard me talking.

"It's pretty famous, right?" He asked, hiding the fact that he was surprised by my statement.

"Uh-Huh" I nodded dumbly.

We fell silent, I sat under the tree with my back against the trunk. Wind gushed at us and I felt relieved. That was the only time I felt relief the whole damn day. I couldn't help but sighed aloud and that made him chuckle.

"The woods are really better than there," He pointed at the dimming camp. "Unless you're an outgoing kind of person"

I laughed.

"What? Me? To be honest, I'd better off alone than to mingle with nonsense people visiting our house. Especially when they want me" I whispered the last part.

"Want you? What does that mean?" Nico inquired, he even sat beside me.

"Mother and Father are big part of Olympus. That's when they play the 'I'm a God' or 'I'm Hera's trusted assistant' card. But here, as a mortal they also play a big part in the monarchy of England," I said, Nico was instantly interested.
"Mother is actually a mortal. She's the only child of a wealthy and famous Duke in England, when Hera took her when she turned eighteen. Grandmother and Grandfather were happy about it. Who are they compared to Hera?... But they asked for a condition and that's they get to keep their daughter and let her govern their hearth. Of course, as a parent and a protector of marriage, Hera agreed. Mother became immortal, taking part time job as Hera's right hand and a Duchess. That's when she met Father. A stunning man who turned out to be the God of Death. They were so in love and got married. That's when the legend was about"

"So you're a 'Lady'? A noblewoman!" He exclaimed.

"People doesn't believe me whenever I told them about me being a nobility. They'll just believe me when they attend a certain ball and I'm required to go"

"I believe you. You have manners, etiquette, you speak politely, acted so smart and also has a bit of bratty attitude" He smirked at me.

"Is that an insult?"

"Only the truth, princess"

"Calling me princess makes it a lie, Death Breath!" I mocked and he seemed amused by it.

"Here's to a wonderful friendship ahead of us, princess"

"Aye, Death Breath"

That's when the bells rang signaling the dinner. So we spent the whole day touring and chatting. What an unbelievable experience.

When I head to our table, the murmurs stopped and it was all normal. The only not normal about now, was Nico staring at us.

"He's staring at you, Sera!" Weiyha teased.

"Sera's got a man!" My horrid twin brother said.

"Oh enough of this! Hades boy likes her!" Nathan added.

"Stop it buffoons! You're not making it harder for me to get angry" I said with a mischievous smile.

"Seriously, sis?" Andrei said.

"I said it and I'm proud of it" I laughed.

"She's seem to be in good spirit now" Nathan said.

"Oh do shut up!" I rolled my eyes at them.

..............

"And Down!" Nathan exclaimed as I pinned my twin brother to the ground with my sword darted towards his throat.

"Damn it sis! You've been practicing!" Andrei says.

I laughed and helped him get up. He dusted his jeans off and my eyes trailed at the famous seven with Nico di Angelo sitting on the bleachers watching us practice. My eyes met Nico's obsidian ones and my siblings noticed it. Especially Andrei.

"Sera's gotta a crushhhh!!!" He yelled.

"Oh gods forbid me!" I sighed and started to ran after the screaming chicken of my brother.
