True Colors

Chapter 4

"Are you in pain or something?" Will asked concerningly.

She pointed to her small feet.

Will sighed, "well if you'd like-"

He was interrupted when Nico suddenly crashed into him. "Sorry" he said to Will. Then he turned to Keira. "Where were you?!?"

"I was just walking in the sand." Keira said, looking art Nico.

"Keira we were all looking for you, luckly, Will found you first. Next time, at least let us know" Nico said rufling her hair.

"I Will don't worry," Keira said as she bursted out laughing.

Will had a blank expression on his face. "Did... I just get punned?"

Nico kisses his cheek. "You... Will live"

Keira wiped her eyes. "Sorry Will, they are just too funny"

Will rolled his eyes. "We should get going, before anyone worries or what not"

"Wait, Nico?" Keira called.

Nico turned to her. "Whats the matter?"

"My feet hurt, you wouldn't mind if-" she started to say but Nico already replied.

"Yes!"

Keira got excited. "Yayyyyy!" Will lifted her up onto Nico's back.

"Don't coke me." Nico said, as they started walking again.

"I Wi-" Will glanced at her. "I wont"

"So there is a campfire tonight to celebrate you arriving" Nico said.

Keira looked confused. "A campfire?"

It was Will's turn to look confused again. "You have never been to a campfire before or gone camping?"

Keira shook her head. "No, my adoptive parents wouldn't let me. I think it was too dangerous."

Will looked at Nico.

'I'll explain later' Nico mouthed.

After that, nobody talked until they reached the big house.

As soon as they got inside, everyone sighed with relief.

Nico asked Will. "She is sleeping isn't she?" Will nodded.

Chiron led Nico to the guest rooms. When they came back, Chiron announced, "everyone can resume their normal activities. Keira is safe now. Everyone except you Nico.... And Will."

When Everyone cleared out of the big house, Chiron led them to his office.

"So our young half-blood seems to be more powerful then she looks, won't you agree, Nico?" Chiron said, looking through files.

Nico nodded. Will just sat there.

"So I need your help, I'm afraid she it's going to have to face the worst."

Nico sat up straight. "What exactly are you thinking about?"

Chiron looked around. "Its time we heard the prophecy"

Nico looked at Will. "Is she too young?"

Chiron then said, "Annabeth said, in Keira's sleep, she kept muttering that she must see the oracle over and over, and her eyes were glowing green. Annabeth shook her awake, and she snapped out of it as if nothing had ever happened"

Will spoke up. "What Will it prove?"

Nico answered. "Her destiny, to help her find her lost soul or something, more like to being the light into her, she has been in the darkness all this time"

Chiron nodded.

The a sudden voice screamed, "Nico!"

He and Will dashed to the guest room.
