Chapter 14: Return to the Labyrinth

Percy woke up the next morning on his bed in the Demeter cabin. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes were two pairs of Onyx colored eyes leaning over him. It took him all of a second to recognize the gaze of his two siblings. Before they could react, he reached forward and snatched the eleven year old boy in one arm and thirteen year old girl in his other. Both let our girlish yelps causing Percy to burst into laughter.

Everyone except Nico and Bianca laughed

"I wasn't aware I had two little sisters." Percy teased.

Bianca burst into laughter too.

Nico's face flushed in embarrassment while Bianca tried and failed to hold in her laughter.

Nico glared at his siblings who just laughed more.

Nico glared at both his siblings making both of their laughter to increase.

"Relax little bro, I'm only teasing you." Percy assured him once he stopped laughing.

"Teasing my ass," Nico mumbled.

"Language, Nicky!" Percy scolded.

"Language?!" Nico looked at him confused. "Says you."

"Sorry, it slipped out," He smiled sheepishly.

Nico continued glaring at Bianca until she managed to stop laughing.

"So what are you two doing in here anyway?" Percy asked once the laughter and glaring had ceased.

"Are you really going back into the Labyrinth today?" Bianca asked with a saddened expression.

Percy sighed, "I don't have a choice guys. I have to go back or we could all get hurt. I promise I will come back though."

Bianca bit her bottom lip nervously, "Percy, you almost died last time. What if... what if this time...." She began but Percy stopped her by pulling her into a hug.

"I'm coming back little sis. I swear it on the Styx." Percy said trying to ease her nerves.

Bianca smiled knowing that now he would have to unless he wanted it to be his first broken promise.

Thunder rumbled outside making both sibling's eyes widen.

Bianca looked shocked before she smiled, "Okay good, now you have to."

Bianca smiled widely at her brother who smiled back. Artemis was approving him more and more even though he did take her lieutenant from her.

Percy nodded, "I will. We all will. I won't let anyone die down in that stupid maze."

Bianca nodded while Nico's face turned mischievous, "Of course you won't. Wouldn't want something bad to happen to your girlfriend Zoe."

Zoe smirked. "Bad move, di Angelo," she muttered.

Percy's eyes widened and his face turned red before he turned to Nico with a death glare, "You have five seconds to run before you're dead." He said with a dangerous edge to his voice.

Nico's eyes widened before he turned and sprinted out of the Demeter cabin.

Everyone except Nico, Dionysus, and Ares fell on the floor laughing at that. Nico glared at them all, which only caused them to laugh more. Five minutes later when everyone calmed, Luke continued to read.
