Will and Nico's child

Chapter 8 - tiny house

I walked down the path towards our tiny house. A few minutes earlier Annabeth had told me which path to follow and which bed was mine. I walked into the forest following the path and feeling kinda lonely because everyone one else was at dinner. I had decided to go ahead and start unpacking because then I would have time to get used to my new home.

 I finally found a small clearing with a bright teal tiny house. The tiny house was a bright blue color with white shutters, the house had lots of window and even its own little mailbox. Wow I thought this is such a big place for just 3 kids. I walked up to the door and tried to open the door but it won't budge. Shoot I thought I'm locked out and I don't have a key. 

I looked around and saw how dark it was getting, the others would be coming back soon I thought but then I realized that they would be having smores at the campfire. I walked towards the mailbox and thought maybe Annabeth put the key in the mailbox. I opened the mailbox and found a blue envelope. I took the letter out and read the address. Holly Di Angelo Solace. Oh I thought that's my last name. I opened the letter and saw a key inside. I ran to the door and tried the key in the lock, it worked perfectly.

 Once inside the house I looked around, there was a living room with a TV and some small book cases. On the other side there was a door that probably lead to the bathroom, and a small staircase. I climbed the staircase and found myself on a large loft that had three beds and some nightstands. I walked to the bed that was the farthest from the stairs [ the one Annabeth had said was mine] and sat my suitcase down. My footsteps were muffled by the fluffy light brown carpet. 

I opened my case and looked inside. I was blown away, there was so much more stuff then I had packed in it. I found a small pocket that had a note in it. Dear Holly, I know that you are wondering where all this stuff came from. Well we pulled some strings and asked your grandpa's to give you some new clothes because you didn't have much and we did not have time to buy you all the things you needed. We hope you like them. From Dad's. I put the note and the key on my dresser and began unpacking. In the trunk were 5 pairs of pants, 6 shirts, 3 pairs of socks, and some other things I needed. 

I was just putting my things in the chest at the foot of my bed when I heard a voice call "Holly, is that you?" "Yep it's me Charlie." I said instantly recognizing his voice. I heard him climb the stairs and when he emerged he said "Are you settling down here ok?" "Yep, it's gonna be awhile before I get used to it but that's okay."

 He paused for a moment and said "You'll get used to it. Hey wanna go in the woods and fight some monsters?" I thought for a moment before saying "That's a great offer but I don't know how to fight or use weapons so I'm pretty useless in a fight." He walked over to me and said "Maybe Paige and I can take you to the weapons shed and pick you out a weapon." I was surprised at how nice he was being given that fact he knew I could summon skeletons. 

"Yeah thats sounds good. By the way where is your sister?" Below us I heard the door creak open and someone step inside. "That's probably Paige now." He said. I climbed down the stairs and saw a girl my age standing by the door. She wore some sneakers, shorts and a camp halfblood t shirt. She had long blond hair and sea green eyes. "Hey I'm Holly, Holly Di Angelo Solace." "Oh I know you were all Charlie talked about dinner." She said in such a way that she was not annoyed about it. "Well it's nice to finally meet you Paige." "You too." She replied.

 We climbed the stairs together, when we emerged we saw Charlie sitting on the floor with a Monopoly game spread out on the floor. "Oh hey guys, wanna play?" He asked. "I mean I'm not very tired so I could go for a game or two." I turned towards Paige and said "How about you Paige, wanna play?" "Of course I do!" So we sat on the floor and played Monopoly until around midnight before we fell asleep still sitting on the floor. I woke up at eight o'clock and looked at the sleeping forms of my new friends.

 I'll go get them breakfast I thought. I tiptoed down the stairs and quietly unlocked the door. I jogged down the path trying to get to the dining pavilion. I grabbed a plate and got utensils, and put some toast, jelly and pancakes in a container, along with a cartoon of orange juice and some cups. I passed by my dads who said "Whoa, what are you in such a hurry for?" "Welp." I replied. "I'm getting some breakfast for Charlie, Paige and I." "Here." Said Will grabbing a basket from the Demeter table, "Put those in here so you don't have to carry it." I put the stuff in the basket and hugged each of my dad's before running off to the tiny house.

 I opened the door and saw Paige and Charlie sitting on the coach. "Oh there you are." Charlie exclaimed. "I brought breakfast." I said cheerfully holding up my basket. "Awww that's so sweet of you." Paige said giving me a hug. "I got toast, pancakes, orange juice and jelly." I put the basket on the coffee table and sat on the couch. I watched as they opened the basket and begane to eat. I grabbed a pancake and a piece of toast and began to eat. Once we had all eaten our fill, we went upstairs to grab our clothes and get dressed. 

I picked up a camp halfblood shirt and some shorts and went to the bathroom to get dressed. Once I was done and everyone was ready we sat on the couch to plan our day. "Well I already told Holly that we would take her to the weapons shed to get her a weapon." Charlie stated. "After we do that can we go to the lake?" Paige asked. "You always want to go to the lake." Charlie said faking irritation, he turned to me saying "How does that day sound to you?" I thought for a moment "Pretty good to me." So that was our plan for that day.
