The Chain of Immortals (Percico)

Chapter 5

NICO'S POV

I just wanted to die right now. That's it. I'm done, Dad take my life and let me live with you in the underworld. My mind was spinning from the whole Percy thing and I felt like I was going to explode. 

"Damn horse..." I mumbled as Percy and I walked down the side of the building. Apparently, Percy has this genius idea with the water pipes on the side of the building. The idea was basically to create a giant geyser to shoot us to the top of the building. It sounded easy for Percy. 

"This is going to be great!" Percy said, nearing the pipes. 

"Percy, this isn't a very good idea..." I said monotonously, trying not to take in the scents of the garbage can a few feet away. 

Percy waved me off. "It'll work don't worry,"

He then kicked the pipe causing water to spew all over his face. Of course it didn't effect him but Percy frowned at the water. 

"Percy," I said with a frown. "water isn't going to be nice all the time."

Percy crossed his arms and said, "I know, Nico!"

"Uh... What are you two doing?" a voice said.

Percy and I turned and saw a girl who looked our age -eighteen- with a large garbage bag in her hands. 

"Were the plumbers." Percy lied casually, winking at the girl in the process.

Oh Percy... Is this really the guy I'm falling for?

The girl blinked. "Percy Jackson? Nico di Angelo? What the Hades are you two doing here? And why are you both plumbers?"

"You know me?" Percy pointed to himself. "Do I know you? You don't look familiar..."

I looked at the girl as she put the garbage in the trash. She had light brown hair in a high ponytail and bright purple eyes. Her cheeks were a rosy red and she let out a magical radiance. 

She smiled and Percy and me. "I'm Delilah. Daughter of Hecate,"

"Hecate?" I said, surprised. "Your a demigod?"

Delilah nodded and pointed tot he building. "Most people who work in this building are demigods,"

"Even the owner?" Percy said, frowning. 

Delilah nodded. She stared at the both, her eyes making me feel pretty uncomfortable. I didn't have a problem with Hecate children, but Delilah was making me extremely uncomfortable. I was already stressed out by Percy the last thing I needed was a purple eyes Hecate child making my life worse. 

Delilah looked at the pipe. "What were you trying to accomplish?"

Percy grinned foolishly and said, "Wanted to sleep on your roof."

Delilah blinked, her purple eyes flashing. "I'm pretty sure the owner would want you guys in a luxury suite other than on the roof."

 X-X-X-X-X-X

Delilah led us to the doors of the building, a double set of doors with a women engraved onto it. She had fire in her palms and she had a small smile on her face. Delilah pushed the doors open and Percy said, "Hestia"

I glanced over at him. "What?"

"The woman on the door," he smiled at me and my heartbeat quickened. "That was Hestia,"

 I nodded but didn't respond. Delilah led us into a room with bright red walls and a swirl pattern carpet. Immediately, Percy and I were approached by a bunch of people- or should I say girls.
