Nico was nowhere by my side in the morning as I awoke and for that I thanked the fates. Slowly I climbed out of bed and grabbed some clothes before I jumped in my shower. But as I scrubbed myself, I saw blood within the water. I gasped and slipped.

"Percy, you okay?" Annabeth shouted as images flashed through my mind. "Yeah just slipped!" I spoke before, the images continued. "Hey Annabeth can you tell Chiron I'm going to Olympus?!" "Sure." I shouted my thanks after that and as I stood up I continued scrubbing before changing and slipping out.

I grabbed my shoes and did the laces before I water travelled to Olympus. I came to the throne room and as I did, Nico stopped talking to them. "Don't mind me, I'll just be finding the library." I spoke. They nodded and as I walked left Athena spoke. "Right!"

I changed my course, mumbling to myself and slipped through the door. But after some time I thanked the fates that the library held a computer and as I searched through what I typed in I came across two answers. God or vampire. I moved the mouse and clicked, god.

The images once again flashed through my mind but, as it said about death, in a hyperlink I clicked on it and found that minor gods can be created through murder and by a major god. I paled and as I heard footsteps I clicked off it quickly, coughing lightly.

"You look as though you've seen a ghost." Athena spoke, as she came to view. I smiled weakly, "I must have a phobia of libraries. She chuckled lightly. "You sound like your father." A small smile graced my lips and slowly I stood up, stretching before I walked to her.

"Can you lead me back, I need to speak to Nico." She nodded numbly and as we walked away, none of us said anything, but as we came to the throne room, I grabbed Nico's wrist and led him out before he could finish speaking to Zeus, father and Hades.

He shouted goodbye and as I water travelled us down to camp, I dragged him into the woods before he ripped his hand from mine, but still followed. "I know what you've become!" I spoke, as I stopped in a clearing. He stopped too, shaking his head as he mumbled.

"Please Percy do say what you think!" He hissed looking fearful. "Your a minor god, you died didn't you and they made you immortal."
"Say it's true, how long have you known?" "Since last night, technically." He nodded, at me. "Let me guess you want some more answers?" I nodded.

"Yes I do, but please don't be so cold when your giving them." His gaze softened before he sighed. "It's true." I nodded waiting for him to continue. Slowly he grabbed my arm and led me to away from Zeus's fist. "Look Percy this links to last night." He spoke.

"How do you mean?" Before he could speak Mr D came, with Apollo. They stood besides Nico and when they told me, I vomited up last nights meal. Once I was done, I squeezed my eyes shut watching as Nico, looked on the verge of tears. I swiped my mouth.

"It would have been better if you spoke, not shown." I mumbled. Apollo rolled his eyes. "It was the only way we thought you would believe us." I sighed and stood up straighter before summoning some water. I drank it before turning fully to Nico. "I would have believed you."

He swallowed nervously and wrapped me in a hug. I hugged him back frowning. "Is that why your so cold when your not near gods?" "Partly." "And the other part?" "I..." He hesitated at his words but I didn't need that to know he was fearful of what others may think.

"Hey I get it don't worry." He frowned and as I looked at Apollo he smiled weakly. "Trust me." He nodded and as stepped back it was to Annabeth's voice. "Percy, what..." The two Ares children stood behind her and as Nico pulled me behind him, Mr D and Apollo stepped in front of us.

"You three aren't welcome here, now leave before I summon father." Apollo spoke. There façade failed and as she smirked Nico grabbed my hand.

I squeezed gently and as the children of Ares went to the sides, they lunged. Ares came with Hermes and as they helped fight them, I pulled Nico back before we ran away. We stumbled through the forest and as we saw Jason and Piper we skidded to a stop before I pulled Nico to the shadows. We crashed into the throne room, and as we did, I saw Nico fall into the hearth.

I gasped but as he stepped out it danced up his skin before fading. I breathed a sigh of relief before Nico helped me up. "Percy you know they will come after you, now that you figured it out." "Good, let them come!" Nico shook his head. "Stop being loyalty for once and run." "Oh Hades no, I'm not running Nico. I can protect myself." "No!" Athena stopped us. "Nico you know how to hide scents so both of you take these bags and live in the mortal word for a few months." I looked at Nico, who's face hardened a little. "Okay." He spoke. She looked at me and I nodded as our fathers came. "There's a mansion, you can stay at, it's warded and you'll have everything you need." I nodded and Nico grabbed my hand, he flashed us away. I guess he knew of the building...
