"Oh," is all Percy said. I was still calming down. I wasn't angry at Percy instead at myself. The way he defended us at the door instead of accusing us made me feel guilty. Then he was walking away I freaked out. I wanted answers so I shadow traveled.

We didn't hold a conversation, we stood there staring until the Hades door closed. I went to grab his hand. He flinched back, but I went to grab his other hand and he caved. Shadow traveling back into the room. 

I needed to make sure he stayed. Since Percy couldn't travel like me handcuffs would be hard to get out of. The room was surprising quiet, Percy look down right disappointed at the books. 

"Percy." Will began, "Can you be honest with us? We notice you do in fact have a layer of mist over you arm. "

Percy stiffened. Hazel did however cut in. "I can feel the mist, now that I'm concentrating I feel it all over your body, Percy."

Annabeth went over and lifted Percy's shirt a little bit. Peeking underneath, Percy only stiffened more still staring at the books. Relaxing at Annabeth's touch. "Percy there's no scars, all I can see is stitches from your injury." 

"Percy is it okay if I take a way the mist on your wrist?" Hazel asked gently. Percy moved only a little bit to bring a pair of handcuffs into view. They were off his wrist and off the bed post. Percy didn't even glace up to are surprised faces still staring at the notebooks. 

"Percy how did you do that?" Jason asks. I walk forward and grab the handcuffs again, handcuffing him again. 

"Stay." I say, Percy just gives me a lopsided smile. Annabeth grabs the notebook and scrapbook and moves then. Percy's eyes follow something that doesn't go unnoticed. 

"Percy who are Natasha and Yelena?" Annabeth asks. Moving the books closer to Percy. Percy reaches out for them and Annabeth gives them to him. 

"There not dead." Percy replies holding the notebooks in one hand he holds the handcuffs in the others. Smiling over at me, I role my eyes.

"Really Percy?" I asked. But before he replies, Percy closes his eyes and disappears from the room. "What were did he go?" I ask scanning the room. 

To my surprise the room spelled of the sea, the handcuffs fell to the ground as soon as Percy disappeared. The notebook and Scrapbook gone. I grab the handcuffs in disbelief, looking around I notice a small bent bobby pin that was close to the bedpost that I handcuffed Percy to.

"That was like shadow travel, did Percy just teleport?" Frank asked.

"Percy can unpick locks? Since when?" Hazel asked.

"I think were all tired, lets double check Percy's in his cabin and is safe and then we will get answers tomorrow." Everyone was really confused, Annabeth went and promised she would double check to make sure Percy was in his cabin while the rest of us fell asleep. 


The next morning I woke up early because I knew Percy would be up early. He always was, before breakfast he would train so he would have time to teach the younger campers how to fight. I woke up early not to happy about it. But I went to the arena to find Percy. He didn't turn around when I first entered. 

"Good morning Nico, you are up early." I didn't see his face but I knew he was smiling. Why is he so happy, its so early. 

"Hey Percy you want to spar?" I asked, knowing if we spar I could get answers out of him cause he couldn't run. 

"Yeah, sure" He finished hitting the dummy and grabbed his water bottle. Drinking some before he met me in the middle of the arena. "Ready?" I asked. He nodded.
