It was an oddly peaceful day at CHB. It seemed as if nothing could go wrong. There wasn't any wars, no quests, no Katie screaming, "STOLLS GET BACK HERE IM GONNA KILL YOU!!!" Because they put dye in her shampoo.
In fact, people were staring to expect something to go wrong.
Will was in New York getting a couple things for the camp, so Nico was alone.
Nico started his day by slashing a lot at a defenseless training dummy. Then he took a nap in the Hades cabin.
Later, before lunch, Austin came to get him, because Will had reminded him 12,000 times to, "Make sure Nico eats lunch, because I won't be here until dinner."
Nico was sitting with the Apollo kids. Because the Hades table was pushed to the side since he didn't sit there anymore.
Some random, gay guy came up to the table, and started nagging Nico about how he took Will away from him.
Nico ignored the idiot. Until the idiot made it personal.
"So I beg your sister killed herself on purpose. Because she didn't want to have to see you again."
Nico slowly stood up. It was a relatively hot day, but the temperature began to drop until there could have been a snowstorm.
Then, skeleton hands began to crawl out of the ground, surrounding Nico, until they began to push him up, above the ground.
The idiot had left by then, the little coward.
All the new campers were terrified and scared out of their minds, but Malcom from the Athena cabin shouted, "Ares cabin! Athena cabin! Get to Nico! Austin and Kayla! Call Will! Assume formations!"
Everyone scurried around trying to get to the places they were supposed to be.
Austin and Kayla sprinted to the Big House, where the hose was, and Austin with shaking hands turned it on.
Kayla fished through her pockets trying to find a drachma. She finally found one, but it slipped through her fingers. "Come on, come on." She muttered as she dropped to her knees to pick it up.
"Kayla come on! The water is freezing!"
Kayla picked it up and threw it into the stream of water. "Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me Will Solace." (A/N-I can't remember what the actual thing was.)
Will appeared in the almost frozen stream of water.
"Will! Get to camp! Nico..." the connection started lagging, "skeleton....cold...help!"
The stream of water froze, and became a chunk of ice, which fell to the ground. Kayla picked it up, and turned to Austin. "Well, we got another GodPad.
Freeze!
Okay, let's do this.
GodPads are demigod safe tablets.
The demigods of CHB have built up quite a reasonable sized collection, because this happens often.
Nico will flip out, and someone with use the hose to message Will. But since it's below 0, the water freezes, with the magic of an Iris Message still in it, creating an unmeltable "tablet" that can be used as a communication device without the hassle of getting attacked by monsters.
Everybody got it?
Okay, unfreeze!
"Yeah, yeah." Austin said, "We gotta get Nico."
The two siblings began to run back to the dining pavilion, where Nico was pacing on top of a tower of bones.
It looked terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. The newcomers were huddled under a table praying to the gods to make it go away.
Malcom and Sherman were shouting orders. There were harnesses, and poles, and campers were running around trying to get to Nico.
Then, Nico scowled, and shadows began to wrap around him.
"He's shadow traveling! Shoot! Where's Will when you need him?!" Sherman cried, as people began to panic.
The shadows began to wrap around the whole pile of bones.
The camp went silent, and there was a chilling wind that passed through.
"Nico di Angelo! No shadow traveling! You owe me four days in the infirmary!" Will descended from the sky, jumping out of the sun chariot, and landing on the pile of bones.
"Will?" Nico said. "Will!"
The pile of bones began to fall down, like literally into the ground. The ground closed before it could swallow the couple.
Hazel and Reyna landed the Pegasus and dismounted.
Hazel walked up to Nico with her arms crossed. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME NICO! WHAT THE HADES DID SOMEONE DO THIS TIME?!"
Nico pointed to the idiot. "This idiot said Bianca killed herself on purpose, just to get away from me."
Will, Reyna, and Hazel slowly turned to the idiot. "We're going to give you to the count of three to get out of here before we kill you." Reyna said.
"One." Will started.
"Two." Hazel added.
"Three!" They all said together.
And the idiot was never heard from again. Because he damaged his vocal cords from screaming.
