Ebony Evans: Adventure of a Lifetime Chap. 28

Nico

Holy crap, no! This is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad- 

"This is Percy Jackson," Hazel said with a smile on her face, but consern in her eyes. "He's a good guy. Percy, this is my brother, the son of Pluto."

Percy's face was perplexed, and I got even more worried. Somehow, I calmed myself enough to stick out my hand, "Pleased to meet you. I'm Nico di Angelo."

Percy warliy shook my hand. I wondered what he was doing, since Percy should have been asking me a butt load of questions. All of a sudden, he scowled. Here we go... "I-I know you," he said carefully with a lost look in his eyes.

"Do you?" I looked at Hazel, rasing my eyebrows trying so hard to keep a calm dispostion.

"Um..." Hazel said. She knew that I knew Percy. She knew it. "Percy's lost his memory."

Hazel then told me what had happened to Percy since she saw him outside the gates. While she talked, I knew Annabeth and Jason's theory was correct, espiecally when Percy carried Juno (Hera) into camp. Man, Annabeth's going to kill him for that one. I was safe, Percy couldn't ruin my cover. ''But what if I say something that causes his memory to return. What will Hera do to me if this plan fails? What if-''

"So, Nico..." Hazel's voice brought me back. "I thought... you know, you travel all over. Maybe you've met demigods like Percy before, or-" I glared at her, hoping she'd stop talking, and she did. "This story about Gaea's army," I said. "You warned Reyna?"

Percy nodded, "Who is Gaea, anyway?"

It shocked me that Percy didn't know. Then again, he didn't remember anything Annabeth has probably told him. "She's the earth goddess," I glanced at the ground. Saying the names of people could cause terrible things to happen, thankfully I didn't get anything, so I continued. "The oldest goddess of all. She's in a deep sleep most of the time, but she hates the gods and their children."
