Helen daughter of the Snow

Mother knows best!

I landed in the frozen fireplace with Nico and Jackson following me. My uncles were arguing and looked at us when we stepped out. Uncle Zethes jumped up and and ran to give me a hug,he practically squeezed the life out me. Then I heard footsteps going down the stairs and looked up and saw my mother. She starred at me with a curious glance and gave a hard glare to Percy and Nico.

"Helen what are you doing here"?she asks.

"I need your blessing so I can go swim in the river Styx"I say.

"Wait,what"?she says loosing her posture with another hard glare at the boys.

I notice her glare and decided to introduce them. "These boys here,will accompany me there and they are Nico Di Angelo son of Hades and Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon,they are even better fighters then Zethes and Cal combined"I tell her.

"It's not your safety that I worry about because I know you can fend for yourself,its why"?she asks.

"For fun"I say my voice dripping with sarcasm.

I hear the boys snicker behind me and I turn to give them my evil glare and that shut them up.

"Stop playing jokes with me and tell me why"?she says sternly.

"Because I need to get your blessing just in case I fall in,if I do fall in without your blessing I will die"I tell her.

She's calm for a few of longest minutes ever and then nods her head and says "Helen Smith I give you my blessing". And with that she turns and leaves the room.

"That went better than I thought it would"I say happily and see Zethes and Cal nod behind me agreeing.

"Alright let's go to Percy's house"and then when Nico finished saying that there was a gust of wind and we all landed in the living room of Jackson's house,including Mrs.O'leary. Thank you Lady Hestia.

-----------Time skip to Central Park----

"I could sing"I volunteer.

"No"both boys scream at me.

"No offense Helen,but you have a terrible singing voice"Nico tells me.

"Like yours is any better"!I shoot back at him. He glares at me a minute and looks at Jackson who says his friend Grover maybe able to help us.

So Jackson started squeezing his eyes shut and crouching down looking constipated. Nico leaned against a tree a while then decided to lay down with his hands behind his head and I laid down next to him and put my head on his chest and closed my eyes and fell asleep with the comforting sound of his steady heartbeat.

The next thing I know a satyr fell across my lap and I jerked upward from my comforting position on Nico.

"Percy"the satyr bleated.

"Grover"he yelled back. Then noticed Nico and I and said "Grover you remember Nico and this is Helen daughter of Khioine"Jackson says and I blush furiously by the way he says my name. I still have a crush on him and it's pretty big too.

"So Grover we need you to play your reed pipes and open a pathway to the underworld"Jackson says.

"Okay,I guess"Grover says worriedly and started playing a song and a rock lifted upward and Jackson said bye and thanks to his friend and we started walking down the pathway to the underworld.
