the chaotic twins

II

Nico pov
Life at camp sucked now more than ever with Percy and thorn gone. There were only a few of us left who had hopes of finding them. It had been five years since I last saw them. I started staying in my cabin more and more. Not will or hazel could get me out. I would sit on my bed and stare at an old photo of me, thorn, Percy, and the rest of the seven...... annabeth had taken the picture. I guess that's when it had all gone downhill.

Flashback
"Guys come on let's take a picture of us all together as the sun is rising on the beach!!" piper said they looked at each other and smiled "sure pipes why not?" Jason said wrapping his arm around her. Thorn nearly dragged nico all the way there, nico was laughing along with everyone else. Annabeth had insisted on taking the picture. No one understood why at the time, and no one thought anything of it. After that they all enjoyed the day there swimming, sleeping, and just having fun.
Flashback end

Tears were falling down my face again, I missed them. No one talks to annabeth; she's more of an outcast than I am now. I heard demigods screaming, fearing there was another attack i ran outside pulling my sword from its scabbard. I stopped in front of the massive crater in the center of the arena. I watch in awe as ten extremely powerful beings walk out of it. Eight had pure white wings; the other two who I think are the leaders had pure black wings that would have made nyx jealous. They wore cloaks and masks that only covered their eyes, again eight were white; two were black. They spoke in a different language, one I don't think any of us had heard before. I stared at them mouth agape cause you don't see extremely powerful and totally beautiful people walk out of a crater. Ok let me explain something quick, i'm gay and i'm dating...... no engaged to will solace. Almost instantly they switch to English, but they have a heavy accent. "Lord Chaos has sent us here to ......... aid you against the return of the titans and giants.... my name is omega this is my sister alpha" omega said. My jaw dropped alpha and omega, chaos's own twin children, are here in front of me... and a whole group of demigods? No way, "who said we needed your help?" every camper whips around and glared at annabeth. She was rebellious now that she was an outcast. Alpha smiled in a way that said you're dead. "Our father lord and ruler of the universe did girl...... if it weren't for him making an agreement with your gods, we would not be standing on this miserable planet." she said with a sneer, her accent was thick as well. There was something familiar about the tone alpha used but i couldn't quite put a finger on it. One of the boys, who was taller laid a hand on her shoulder and whispered something in her ear. She nodded and he walked forward. "My name is beta behind me are reaper, star, forge, beauty, bow, arrow, and prophet." each nodded their head as their name was called. Beta continued "we will be your trainers for the next month or two, depending on how fast the enemy approaches. reaper will teach sword fighting, bow and arrow will teach hunting and tracking, star and beauty will teach the healers and those who can charmspeak, forge will teach weapon crafting to a much higher degree than what Hephaestus can teach you, lastly prophet and i will teach battle strategy and tricks to outsmart even the toughest opponents, except alpha and omega. If you do not like the terms set out to you, you are welcome to challenge anyone of us but be warned. We aim to win, if we have to kill you to win then so be It." most of us paled at the thought of how ruthless these guys were, but i knew the legends. They were the best of the best not only because of whom they were but who they were trained by, lord chaos himself. Jason, piper, Leo, hazel, frank, Thalia, and i stepped forward. Each of us bowing to the team in front of us, when we rose there were smiles upon their faces except for alphas. Omega said "follow these seven demigods example, respect us and we will treat you kindly in return." i guess that would be better than being killed. Hesitantly i took a step forward and asked "where will you all be staying?" this time alpha did smile as she said "son of hades worry not about us, my brother and i will create a space for us in due time. Your concern is very touching though."
