Pjo and HoO Truth or Dare/ Fanfic

Nico

Nico's POV

The drama with Jason and Piper ended about a week or so after the break up. Now the only people who are still eating it up are the Aphrodite kids, and I don't think it has to do with Piper being there sister. Those girls started taking sides and tried to get the rest of camp to follow.

You may ask yourself, "Where was our Ghost King at the time?" Yeah, the thing is, drama is...a...hatred, I guess is an accurate word, of mine. I hate the way kids go crazy for it, and besides. Laying low and out of sight is a hobby of mine, especially since Reyna just left yesterday to take care of something at Camp Jupiter with Frank.

After the normal kids at camp got over it, we, as in the 7...or 5 I guess and I, put aside the awkwardness of it and started hanging out again through games and activities.

Anyways, enough with the explanations.

Today was normal, for a demigod camp that is, until the fire tonight. We were minding ourselves, watching the happy orange glow of the fire and listening to the Apollo kids sing, when the fire suddenly changed.

The flames shrunk at least four feet and turned an erie shade of green. Everyone started in awe and terror. Usually in our lives green flames or smoke Kent the Mist or a prophecy. As if confirming our greatest fears, Rachel Dare stood straight up. Her eyes matched the fire and her voice became dry and wispy.

"The demigods you all know well. Who've ended wars and been through hell.

 Though strife has fought, they've fought back harder. Now it's time to go much farther.

Mend the rip that releases the beasts. And all of your kind shall feel the power of this great feat."

Rachel falls over, caught by a bystander before she can tumble into the flames. The fire is no longer green, but it sure isn't the happy orange from before. It has been reduced to almost embers that glow deep indigo.

Eyes flutter from face to face to see if it was just a dream, but we all know better. Percy holds Annabeth whose back shudders up and down. I have never seen her cry. Leo looks at me with a, "Duh Hades just happened?" Look on his face.

 I shrug, "Looks like we're going on a quest..." The words tumble out of my mouth and taste bitter on my tounge. I want to curse the stupid gods or at least someone. We just got back from another war. Why?
