I'm running. I'm running and I don't know why. But how would I know? I'm 3 years old.
" Emi, why are we running?" I whine. My legs hurt. My sister gives me a sympathetic look.
"We're in danger. They're close. I can sense it." She mutters.
"What?" I ask confused. "Shh. We're not running. We're umm...playing hide and seek. Yes, playing hide and seek with momma." I nod excitedly, running at full speed, determined to win. We keep running towards bright lights and I soon hear a dog bark.

"Puppy!!" I squeal excitedly, running the other way to the sound of the barking. But Emi doesn't let me leave. She drags me the other way.

"But I want the puppy!! And I want it now!! "  I yell. I soon sober when Emi promises that she's going to give me a puppy. We reach a very bright house with a gazillion lights. I stand there gawking at the building, when Emi suddenly pushes me inside. I turn around to glare at her and see a very large dog growling at Emi. I want to go to her, but I'm ushered inside.
"Emi!!" I yell, but she doesn't turn, instead the dog does. And those red eyes are filled evil. Lots of it.

I snap my eye open. I'm sweating and shivering. Goosebumps rise on my skin as I recall my nightmare. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. After composing myself, I proceed with my morning routines. Once I'm done, I fall to my bed and look at the only clock in the cabin.

4:15

And breakfast starts at seven. I start painting and adding specific touches in my designs to keep myself busy. I soon fall asleep.

"Get up, we're late!!" Someone yells. I yelp and fall to the floor. I get groggily and glare at Percy. "Not a morning person, I see." I don't reply to him. "Also you have a little something everywhere." He says gesturing to his whole body. I roll my eyes and walk to the bathroom.

As I look at the mirror, my eyes almost fall out. There's paint everywhere!!

   On my shirt,my face even my hair!! I quickly wash my face, scrubbing it hard to get all the paint.  I'm about to strip out of my shirt to change, but Tyson's large hand yanks me out of the cabin. As I come out of the cabin, a few snickers let loose.

I walk towards my table with Percy, with my chin high.

  That's right bitches. I planned all this.

I plop myself on the marble bench, grabbing Percy's bowl of cereal.

"Ooh!! Fruit Loops! Great choice." I say taking a spoonful. Percy grabs it back afterwards.
"Hey, I wasn't done with that!!" I yell at Percy. He rolls his eyes and sticks his tongue at me. "Wow, real mature." I say sarcasm dripping from my voice, but Percy doesn't answer. He shrugs.

"Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one." I turn to my side and shriek at his sudden closeness. Once I calm down, I glare at him earning a chuckle from him. That deep, velvety, se-

Dammit!! I'm just fifteen!

  "What do you want Nico?" I ask him. But instead, Percy answers, " He's staying at our table for the week." I eye Nico unsure of how to react.
"What about your table? Why can't you stay there?" It's not like I don't want him with us, it's more like he's a very good looking distraction.

"When I'm alone at my table, strange things happen." He says like it's not a big deal.
"What do you mean strange?"

What?! I'm curious!

"Strange like 'the undead trying to crawl it's way up here from the Underworld'."
As he says this my eyes widen. He rolls his eyes and part his lips like he's about to say something, but I interrupt him.
"Really? That's so cool!! Do their flesh fall off or are they just bones and ghosts?" I ask excited. Tyson and Nico look surprised, but Percy just looks disappointed.
"I have the weirdest little sister." Percy compliments.
"How did she talk so fast?" Tyson says awestruck.
"I didn't even hear a thing. And normally must people call me a freak." That's basically how my morning went. After breakfast, Percy completes the tour with me. We're at our last destination, which is some kind of creepy cave. There are paintings on the walls and the floor. I look at Percy with my eyebrows furrowed.
"It's where Rachel stays. She's the holder of the Oracle of Delphi. She's not here yet though, family problems." I nod my head and look around. Her paintings are actually nice. I soon hear hissing from around the cave. I look at Percy, but he seems unaffected.

"Let's go it's probably time for lunch." I say eager to get out of the hissing cave.

Nico's POV
Where is she? She was meant to be here minutes ago? I soon find her happily skipping her way to the table. My lips twitch, eager to smile at her over positiveness. She's the only one that didn't run when they realise I was the son of Hades.
  She sits in the bench, eyeing my chicken sandwich. "What's for lunch?" She asks licking her lips. My eyes moves to the movement of her lips and suddenly I'm not hungry for food anymore.

I give her my sandwich and she visibly brightens, blowing me a kiss. I roll my eyes at her dramatics and she giggles.

How the hell does a giggle turn one on?!!

"Ew. You're sharing spit." Percy says to Alex, but she just shrugs.

  Halfway through the sandwich, she frowns in the most adorable way and looks around.

"What's wrong?" I ask worried.
"Why do you guys have so many snakes?"

Snakes?

"What are you talking about? We don't have any snakes." I say calmly, when I am anything but calm.
"Stop!! Stop it! Stop!" She continuously yells, cupping her ears. At this point we've attracted everyone's attention. Alex gets up from her seat, she took a few steps before she falls. I ran to her side a hold her up.

   Her eyes are closed. Once she opens it, it's white and glassy. No pupils or iris, just white.
She spoke, but it wasn't her voice. It sounded more ancient, "Did you miss your Oracle, dear demigods?"

Alex is possessed by the Oracle of Delphi.

But, how?
