One Sun and Two Shadows **DISCONTINUED**

Chapter 4

Will's POV

As we were about to walk through the front doors of the castle, an important-looking lady in an emerald green dress came up to us demigods and told us to follow her. She said we were going to be sorted, since we hadn't been here before.

"There are four Houses," she explained, "Gryffindor for the brave, Slytherin for the cunning, Ravenclaw for the intelligent, and Hufflepuff for the loyal."

When we walked up to the front of the Great Hall, the lady that had escorted us was calling names of the first-years.

After all of them were sorted, she made an announcement.

"As you can see, there are three 13-year-olds waiting to be sorted. They are exchange students from America. Please do not provoke them in any way. They have been through much more than you and will not hesitate to fight with fists or wands."

I was glad she said this, because I had a feeling we would be feeling "provoked" soon enough.

"Di Angelo, Nico," she called, and I squeezed his hand before he went up to get sorted.

Nico's POV

Before I knew it, my name was called and I went up to get sorted, but not before Will squeezed my hand and let go, giving me one of his signature smiles.

I can do this.

As soon as the hat was placed on my head, it started talking:

"Well, well. A demigod. Child of Hades."

How did you know?

"I have my ways. Now, you'll have to let me look into your mind, so I can sort you."

Fine, but you probably won't be sane after what you see.

As the hat looked through my memories, it became more and more painful.

I saw my mother getting killed, the Lotus Casino, being rescued by Percy and fighting Dr. Thorn, Bianca joining the Hunters, finding out she died, being manipulated by Minos, Eros forcing me to say I had a crush on Percy, Tartarus, and so much more.

Finally, the roller coaster of memories was over.

"AHHHHHHH!!!! How are you still sane???"

I have my ways.

"GRYFFINDOR! NOW GET ME OFF! I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS KID IS STILL SANE BUT GET ME OFF!!!!!"

Leah's POV

As I watched Nico get sorted, I was wondering what house I would be in. Maybe Slytherin. Or maybe Gryffindor, since Nico got sorted there.

The sound of my name zapped me out of my thoughts.

I walked up to the stool, and waited to have the hat placed on my head.

"ANOTHER demigod??"

Yes.

"And you're that insane kid's sister."

Yes.

"Alright, let's see what you have in store."

Suddenly, I was reliving my memories.

Me running away from my drunken mother, finding Jeremy (the satyr that had brought me to camp; he was new, and lost) fighting the Sphinx, fighting the Minotaur, threatening the campers that I would punch them in the nose, and yelling at Clarisse to put me down.

 The hat shivered on my head.

"Not as bad as your brother, but still creepy. Better be...

GRYFFINDOR!"

Will's POV

"Solace, William."

"Just Will, thank you." I didn't like the name William. It brought back bad memories.

"Hopefully you're not insane like those other kids."

Before I could respond, I was experiencing all my memories; seeing my patients die, fighting in the Titan War in New York, fighting Gaea, meeting Nico, and a bunch of traumatizing things.

"I'll put you with your insane boyfriend.

GRYFFINDOR!"
