Finding Love In The Shadows (Nico Di Angelo leo valdez)

Just my luck

"Have a seat Bella" she points to the couch casually. I nod and sit down, placing my hands in my lap and waiting for her to speak.

"Give me a seccound" she waves her hand around and closes her eyes.

A green mist circles around her. I gasp and scoot away, watching with wide eyes.

Her eyes snap open, glowing green. Her mouth parts, green smoke billowing out of her mouth

"Four shall go East one of fire, darkness, sea and love, following the sky, city of love and pride. To find what has been stolen and return it to beauty's side. Have Reflection returned by the day of delight

Or love will diminish from your sight"

Rachel closes her eyes and reopened them, looking normal.

"Okay.. If that was given by your mother, she is very... Creative and precise" she shrugs.

"Well you must pick four. Having a dealing it's a child of Posiden, Hades, and Hephaestus... And what I heard from earlier today... Doesn't sound to thrilling" she bites her lip.

I look down and glare at the floor, as if it was its fault I had to save love.

She motions me to the walls "pick one". My eyes scan the shiny walls... Looking for a weopon. My eyes scan over a small bronze watch and get stuck on it. My fingers wrap around the watches bronze chain and I lift it to my face.

"What does this do?" I turn towards her. She shrugs and laughs

"I have no idea..." .

~~~~~~

I walk out, going over the lines in my head.. Day of delight? The only days coming up is.... Uh... So it's the 20th so... Oh yea! My birthday is in 3 weeks.

Oh gods. I have to be a stressed mess on my birthday!

Just great.

Better gatherer up my amazing group of quest partners. Gross.

I knock on Leo's door and sigh. The door swings open, reviling a dirty Raven, she smiles sadly and gives me a hug "hey..."

I sighs and shake my head

"I need Leo" I inform her and she nods, walking into the cabin.

A few seconds later, Leo walks out, backpack on his back. I tilt my head and open my mouth to ask about the pack, but he talks first

"Why else would you need me? Lets go on this quest" he smiles and hugs me.

Leo always made things better, he was just that kind of person you could cry on and come to when you were upset.

As we walk side by side to Percy's cabin, we pass a extremely flustered Annabeth, red eyes and bright cheeks.

I had to try and not cry, feeling bad for the beautiful girl.

Leo knocks on his cabin "Percy, it's quest time bro, get your ass to the bottom of the hill with a bag in like... 5 minutes?" He looks to me and I nod

"Yea in 5" he confirms and we start walking to Nico's cabin.

I stop "you get Nico.. I'm going to go get packed" I bite my lip and bolt to my cabin.

I grab a backpack and shove a couple pairs of cloths and some of that healing cookie stuff... Whatever it is called.

I pack some... Girl items and a few toiletries. I slip my black zip up jacket on and sigh, realizing it was Nicos but I could give a fuck. As I rummage through my chest to try and find matches, Drew sits next to me.

"What's going on?" She asks, rubbing her tired eyes.

I look down at her and shrug "last minute quest, don't worry". I keep searching and she holds out a bag.

"It's enchanted, It has all major survival items, like rope and tents and stuff... Good luck"

She wraps her arms around me and I return the embrace.

"Thank you" I whisper before stuffing te small bag into my backpack and sling that around my shoulders. I lace up some combat boots and run out, heading towards the hill.

Once I see the outline of the three boys I slow down, approaching them. I made no effort to make eye contact with Nico.

"Okay, before we head out, lets discus it" I nod and sit down. They follow my lead and sit in the grass.

Once I Finnish the lines of the quest I tell them what I think it meant.

"City of love, to the east... Isn't Europe in the east? So would that be Paris?" I ask, looking at the boys.

Percy nods "I think so, when me and... Annabeth went there, there were sighs everywhere saying 'City of love', so it could"

The two other boys nod.

"Okay, so how are we going to get there...?" I ask, knowing we couldn't just fly on an airplane.

Percy sighs and stands up "you guys know how to ride a Pegasus?"
