A/N I'm sorry I have written. I've been busy.

Karissa

I've been in the Underworld with Nico, Hazel, and Hades for about 2 weeks now. All injuries I previously had are healing nicely. Nico has extremely protective even though I was safe and forever had skeletal guards near me at all times. Hazel and I have spent so much time just watching movies and TV shows that the computer was taken from us and we were forced to go down to the dining hall for food, and we weren't allowed to go back to the room until we had eaten enough and were hydrated. 

I've wandered everywhere I was allowed. So now I'm eave stropping on my sibling's conversation.

"Nico she needs to go to one of the camps to train, or at least just see new people," she stated with a straight face to my twin who you could see he was against it in his dark chocolate eyes "You won't admit that I'm right because you don't want what happened to Bianca to happen to Karissa. I understand, but just think about how much it'll help her in the long run. She's still a child of the Big Three, she will always be in danger without being able to defend herself." 

He was dumbstruck by how Hazel wasn't going to take no for an answer about training me. With a few stomps on the ground, I pretended like I had just walked down the hall and had found them.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" I ask feigning innocence of the conversation the I had just overheard. Hazel gave Nico a look that seemed to say 'Make a choice'

"Well, we were just talking about taking you to the Camp that I went to when I found out I was a demigod," He paused to look away from Hazel to me, "We think you'll like it there, it's kinda like a second home, or first in some cases." 

I just nodded enthusiastically at the thought of getting to see new sights and things other than spirits.  

"What's the camp called?" I question my siblings with a broad smile. 

"Camp Half-Blood," the two say in perfect synchronization, although Nico sounded begrudging when he said it. 

My smile slowly dropped as I realized that it was the same camp Bianca was at before she died. Before I could meet her again, before I could see who raised me in the Lotus until our memories were lost.

"I told you it's a bad idea Hazel. Look how she reacted, she-," he was was cut off by the booming voice of our father.

"Nico!" He shouted as he walked into the room, "Stop jumping to conclusions, Rissa might just be thinking about something completely unrelated."

With a giggle, I nod, agreeing with father. 

"I wanna go to camp, it'll be strange for a little bit, but I'll warm up to it just like here," I hide the disappointment of leaving with a smile and a hug to my father and siblings before running off to pack for camp.

I know I'll like camp, but it still feels like I haven't found a home. I know I will someday, all I know is it won't be today.

 I'll still look, I just won't be alone now.
