Chapter 10 (Nico's POV)-

Once we made it out, I breathed a big breath of fresh air. As much as I loved underground, I hated mazes, they made me feel like I was going insane.

We were in a town just next to Epirus, and off in the distance, I could see yet another abandoned camp of Gaea's.

I couldn't help but do a double take when I saw that the torches were still shining bright, leading towards that other abandoned camp.

"You have got to be kidding me." I growled under my breath.

If I never saw another torch again in my life, it would be too soon, I swear it. I have seen way too many torches in the past few days, and it annoyed me.

"What's wrong?" Annabeth asked me.

I scowled at both the torches and Annabeth, because she was the reason why I hadn't seen my best friend in over a year. Hazel put a hand on my arm and I sighed.

"I can still see the torches. They lead to that damn camp over there." I groaned angrily.

We all sighed and we headed to the stupid camp. We could see some Greek and Roman warriors, but there were others that no one recognized as well.
So, we entered the camp and we looked around until we finally found Thalia, who seemed very happy and excited about something.

Thalia turned to us and she squealed. She clapped her hands and she waved us over.

"He told me that you all would be okay! I never should've doubted him." Thalia giggled.

We all blinked at her and I couldn't wrap my mind around the 'he'. Who would know for sure that we would be okay?

"Who's 'he'?" Jason asked slowly.

Thalia grinned and she shrugged nonchalantly. She lost her grin when someone who I've grown to hate shows up- Pericles.

I scowled at him and I drew my sword, getting into a fighting stance, just in case he tried something he would regret.

The only reason everyone knew how to tell a difference between the two would be their hair and their eyes.

Pericles had sandy blonde hair and green eyes while Percy had black hair and blue eyes. I hated Pericles with every fiber of my being.

"Aw, Nico, you don't have to do that." Pericles told me with an evil smirk.

I growled and I glared fiercely at him. He cowered away from my hostile behavior like the coward he was.

"Can it, asshole." I hissed.

He frowned at me and I knew the others didn't know about what Annabeth and Pericles did to Percy.

"Nico..." Hazel whispered as a warning.
Thalia glared at him too and stepped threateningly toward him, making him back away in fright.

"Pericles, I told you to stay away from me and everyone else. You got Annabeth to chest on Percy and you made him run away." Thalia growled, pointing to where Pericles should go.

He strode away, muttering incoherent things under his breath. People looked at Annabeth strangely and she bowed her head in shame.

"You were saying something about a 'he'?" I told Thalia.

She nodded, her excitement back to the surface and she giggled. She was acting pretty weird today....

"He's here, and he's in the infirmary because Pericles cowardly cut him from behind." Thalia chirped.
