NICO'S P.O.V

Will and I ran toward the big house, fully weaponed, Delilah following close behind us at Wills request. He could say he trusted her, but he still didn't like her.

We caught up with Jason and Piper who stood with Chiron next to Thalia's tree.
"What's up?" Will ask, sweat beading down both our faces from the heat of the run.
"A new camper." Piper answered stepping aside to let us see him, he lay on the ground, unconscious.
"He came in screaming and crying, he looks about 12 or 13 but he hasn't been claimed." Jason added.
"He's a son of hades." I whispered more to myself than anybody. Don't ask me how I knew, I just did.
"What?" Will asked, eyes wide.
"He's a son of hades." Everyone turned to me.
"Are you certain?" Chiron asked.
"Yes."

Soon after the moments of silence that followed the statement, the boy began to stir, soon sitting up, rubbing the back if his head that seemed to be where he fell.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"Camp half blood my boy." Chiron answered slowly and carefully.
"Camp what?" He looked alert, looking around everywhere, his eyes radiated confusion and ever so lost he was.
"Why did they bring me here?" He whispered to himself, and it seemed only I could hear.
"What your name?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
"Shane." He was a big boy, muscular and quite ripped, with jet black hair, and the Stygian iron sword at his belt, he was quite intimidating. He could have passed for a child of Ares, but no, he was a child of Hades, I knew that much.
"Wait, where did you get that sword?" He looked at the sword on his belt, eyes wide for a moment.
"I... I don't know?"
Everyone just looked at me and I shrugged.
"Why don't I give him the tour!" Delilah started clapping. "Oh pleasey weasey with a cherry on top, Nico did such a good job, and I want to help him now, I know everything."
"What, so you can corrupt him." Will countered, staring her down.
"If he's my brother, I should give him the tour, so I can get to know him, I won't corrupt him, I promise, no painting." She begged, looking over at me.
"Wait a second, I don't have any siblings." Shane said.
"You do now." I said, ushering Delilah and Shane away.

"Is that really a good idea." Will asked.
"On come on, I'm not doing it, and someone from the Hades cabin should do it. It gives us time to ask Chiron."
"Fine." Will finished turning to Chiron.
"Can we talk? He asked.
"Okay boys, well go to the big house."

Okay, that was shorter than I thought it was. :D What do you think? A quest Will be issued next chapter!
Thanks!
