"Y/n~"
I stopped eating and pushed my plate away.
"What now, Tyson?"

He grinned, "Dad has been meaning to tell you something."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh great. After how many years of ignoring me and placing a glowing trident above my head he's finally talking to me."

Tyson sighed, "Don't take it hard, y/n. You know how Gods work, you of all people should know better."

I ignored him and played with the knife on the table. Percy didn't show up today, I don't know if he spent the night in the ocean to meet dad or he's with Annabeth right now. Annabeth, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Nico and Percy are gone. I don't know where they are but they sure are snobs.

"I lost my appetite." I stood up and walked to the Arena. I somehow need to get everything off of my mind.

~~~

I slashed my axe towards Clarice and rolled beside her. She twisted her spear and continuously swished it in my direction. I tried to roll underneath her but she kicked my chest and placed her spear right beside my head.

She grinned, "Wake up, Clam head. You're in a daze."

She helped me up and I took my axe from the side.

"I know. Gods, I'm out of practice. This isn't like me at all."

We walked to out of the Arena, "Yeah it isn't. Especially that little fight Luke had with Nico last night? Boy, that was a show." Clarice laughed.

I rolled my eyes but gave a small smile, "You know Clarice, I always marvel how we are even friends when you can't get along with Percy in the first place."

"That's because, you are barbaric like me, a blessing from Ares is no joke. Dad must have seen something in you because I see it too."

I stopped in my tracks, "What do you see?"

She spun her spear in her hand, "Bravery, Courage and Loyalty. Everyone has a bad history especially when you're a demigod, but you have that warrior spirit in you that even Kronos can't manipulate you."

I smiled. "Okay, that is literally the nicest thing anyone has said to me."

"What  Lukey-boy doesn't give enough kisses?" Clarice made kissing noises making us both laugh.

We somehow reached the Big house and Mr. D was on the porch glaring at me with a golden goblet in hand.

"Clarice. Why are we here?" I asked.

She shrugged, "He asked for you. Look, I have to go. I'll see you later?"

I nodded, "Okay, bye."

I walked to the big house and faced Mr. D. He was gripping the goblet that had diet coke in it.

"You know, y/n. Many people have met me and I already consider them idiots. But you are one heck of an idiot."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Exvuse me?"

He scoffed, "Don't act dumb. Although that mustn't be hard."

I glared but said nothing nonetheless. I'm not going to follow Percy's footsteps in where he acts rude around Mr. D no matter how much I hate this stupid God.

He sighed and stood, "Would you like to explain what happened last night with Duke and Nicholas?"

"You mean Luke and Nico?"

He waved his hand dismissively, "Whatever. Care to explain?"

I thought for a while, "Just some.. Jealousy fight."

He raised a brow, "Really? Well becausr of that Jealousy fight, we lost 8 campers last night!"

I flinched. Mr. D hardly raises his voice because he depends on him being God that no one would be worthy to hear him raise his voice. And I can't seem to decide if I should be honored at this rare moment or scared that I'm the first.

"But don't you hate us?" I asked carefully choosing my words.

"Oh I do." He sipped his drink, "But because of Peter Johnson-"

"Percy Jackson."

"-My punishment has been lessened. And when Zeus finds out that I have lost the heroes he might take back the the reward. It could all be ruined because of you."

Of course.

Everyone couldn't survive without seeing or hearing Percy's name. Even Mr. D who hardly likes anyone secretly is very appreciative that he came through, all of this.. Ever since I came here, no one cares about me. They're only nice to me because I'm a sister of Seaweed brain.

"I'll bring them back." I stated.

He sat back on his chair, "You better. I give you every right to leave camp anytime. Just bring the 8 back, remember, they are important."

I fought back the tears and ran away from the Big house. What was I thinking? That I actually belonged here? Why? Because they're like me?
I'm such an idiot.

I ran back to the Cabin and started packing my stuff. Once I get them back, I am DONE.

"Hey-" Tyson said.

But I ran past him through the door and exited the camp, I don't want to be soothed with stupid words I used to believe that I really did belong. I somehow have to find the missing 8 campers and be the 9th camper that NEEDS to be missing. I know now,
I'm really not something to be dwelled on.

I stopped at the highway and only did I realize...
"I don't know where to start my search."

"But I do."

I turned and saw Nico, "Nico.."

He was now in his casual black attire, he stepped towards me but I took a step back. Being cautious.

"Where are they?" I asked coldly.

"I don't know either. But I do know that Luke is with them, I just woke up this morning seeing Percy and the gang pulling Luke out of the camp dropping a certain map to Forks, Washington." Nico answered.

"Forks? That's far." I murmured, but apparently he heard it.

"It is. But I thought you knew that they were going to be gone so I didn't say anything."

I glared at him, remembering what he just did to Luke last night. I gritted my teeth and spun around.

"Thanks for the info." I said and swung my bag over my shoulder.

"Wait." He grabbed my arm, "I'm coming with you."

Before I could even say anything, he placed his fingers on my lips.
"I owe you this for everything I did. Please just let me make it up to you."

"Nic-"

"Shh." He ordered. "I know you won't forgive me but I really am sorry, can you pleasr just ket me do this?"

"But Nico I-"

"No. If Percy were to find out that I didn't do anything to help. He'll never forgive me."

I punched him in the gut making him bend and wince in pain.
"I was going to say okay, idiot. Let's go."
