The Chosen Demigods

Chapter 7

HEY!!!!!!!!!

Thank you again to anyone who's reading this, it really makes my day. Anyway....

I DON'T OWN HEROES OF OLYMPUS OR PERCY JACKSON!!!!

Rick Riordan and J.K Rowling do. Duh. I bet they aren't socially awkward.

On a side-note, I won't be updating for a while because I'll be at camp, and we aren't allowed devices there. *Awkward silence.*

ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!

..........

Pipers POV

As I stepped into the common room, the first thing I noticed was the lights. Beams of light were racing around the walls, accompanied by a muffled yelling. At first I thought we were under attack because screaming, but then I saw Will lying on the couch screaming into a pillow. I rolled my eyes. The idiot hadn't noticed me. I swung the bathroom door shut quickly and was rewarded with a satisfying bang that caused the son of Apollo to fall off the couch in surprise.

I snickered. Boys. "Excited much?" I asked the blushing boy. He nodded soundlessly looking up at me from the ground. I was about to ask why when a glint of silver caught my eye. I started at Will's hand. A ring. I felt a grin spread across my face. "Oh my gods." I said breathlessly. Will nodded as a smile spread across his face. I screamed and hauled him to his feet. "Okay, spill." I demanded.

What? Even if I didn't embrace it much, I was still a daughter of Aphrodite. But before Will could reply, the door burst open and in came Hazel dragging a beaming Nico by the hand. "They're engaged!" she squealed happily. I nodded as she hurled Nico into Will causing the pair to fall over. Unfortunately, our fangirling session was bought to an early end by Will's voice. 

"Actually, we're not engaged." He said conversationally as he helped his boyfriend up. "What?" asked Hazel looking confused. "But, what about the rings?" 

"They're promise rings." said Nico smiling. "We're not exactly old enough to get married you know." He said shaking his head. "Oh." said Hazel sounding put out. "Uh... what are promise rings?" She asked. Oh right. She's from the 30's. 

"They're kinda like pre-engagment rings, I guess." I said shrugging. "Kinda like a promise not to love another." Nico and Will blushed. "Aw! That's so sweet!" Exclaimed Hazel smiling again. Before we could ask for the details, Hades appeared out of the shadows. "Father." said Nico inclining his head. "Hello. You are needed at Camp Half Blood." 

"Is there something wrong?" I asked politely. "Yes." The voice that replied was not Hades's but Will's. Hades turned to Will. "Getting the hang of your powers, eh?" Will nodded worriedly. Hades winked and left. Suddenly Will stumbled back, Hazel let out a yell, and even Nico looked shocked. A fire had randomly appeared in the middle of a room. A black fire. A floating black fire. 

That was strange. But before we could calm down, Chiron's voice rang through the room. "Who's coming?" he sounded worried. "Who's coming Cat" Will drew in a sharp breath. Kayla. "Will." a voice I didn't recognize replied. The fire turned a vivid orange, and Will and Nico immediately stepped up to it and the two of them were swallowed by the flames. I exchanged nervous looks with Hazel, and we followed.

...........

We stepped out of the fire to a high-pitched voice yelling Will's name. He laughed scooping up a little girl. "Hey Cat." he said cheerfully giving the six-year-old a hug.

"Where were you guys?" Asked Clarisse gruffly giving each of us a bone crushing hug. As soon as she moved away the rest of the Councillors started swarming us with greetings and comments. 

"Alright! Give them some space! All of you back to your cabins!" The Councillors bade us goodnight, threatened us not to leave again, and slowly filtered out until it was just us, Percy, Rachel and Chiron. 

"Thank the gods you guys are okay!" said Rachel smiling at all of us. "Disappearing like that, you gave us a heart attack!" said Percy jokingly, but I could see the relief in his eyes. For some odd reason, he kept throwing glances at Nico and Will. 

Chiron stepped forward. "Is everything alright?" he asked. I looked over at Will. His face fell as the euphoria of seeing his siblings again wore of, and the smile on his face was replaced by a frown. 

He exchanged a worried glance with Nico. 

"No. I don't think it is."
