Ok, this story switches Pov's a lot! Disclaimer: I am Not Rick Riordan! And I dont own PJO!

Nico's Pov-

I was running through the woods. Camp half-blood? I didn't know. But it was dark and I had no idea what I was running for. Then, I saw a light up ahead and I began to run faster. I came into view of a meadow. Which is weird because there are no meadows in camp half-blood. I caught a glimpse of something, a deer? A monster? No, a girl. About my age. Running away. "Hey! Wait!" I screamed at her. But it was too late, she was gone.

I jolted out of bead, banging my head on the ceiling. Oh, good. It was just a dream. I thought. But I knew it wasn't just a dream. It never was. Then, I heard a conch horn in the distance. Oh well, I thought I shouldn't worry about it now.

Easier said than done. I thought about it all through breakfast. I started to make mental notes about her. Brown hair that hung low down her back. Dark green eyes. Olive skin. She also looked really tired. And her eyes looked sad and scared. But after I passed all that, she looked kinda........Pretty. It's just a dream. I kept telling myself.

Steph's Pov-

"STEPHANIE! You get out of bed right now!!" my mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs. What a weird dream... I had dreamed I was in a meadow, beautiful, but kind of eerie. And there was this confused looking boy running towards me. So naturally, I ran away. Like I do with all my problems. He looked like the kind of boy I would have a crush on. Whatever. I thought as I fixed myself in the mirror. Not that it mattered, nobody ever noticed me. I stared at my eyes in my reflection. They would have been pretty if my face didn't look so tired. The thing is, I never was tired. I could stay up until 1:00 in the morning and feel totally hyper when I woke up.

Mom handed me my lunch and a piece of toast. "You ready for the last day of school?" she asked excitedly. Though I knew she was only exited to get rid of me. She gave me the story that I would be going to camp half-blood 2 weeks ago. I believed every word without hesitation. Mom wasn't one to lie. "Not really." I mumbled in reply. Just then the bus drove up and I silently groaned.

School dragged on. But I couldn't keep my mind off the boy from my dreams. Haha. I thought. Boy of my dreams. I also thought about camp. And who my dad was. I didn't like it when people kept secrets from me, especially Mom. I got bored so I started to listen to other peoples conversations. "My bird just died. It's okay because the bird was fat and retarded." I smirked at that.

Nico's Pov-

Travis, Conner and I had known a new camper was coming. And that Chiron wouldn't tell us who her godly parent was. So here we were, with our ears pressed against the windows to the Big house. "-child of Morpheus. And I need you boys to put her in the Hermes cabin and show her around camp. But mostly keep and eye on her. It would be very bad if she knew who her dad was right this minute." Chiron was talking to Percy and Grover. Morpheus? I thought.

Later, we were sitting in the pavilion. "Well that was a complete waste of time! There's nothing to do at this stupid camp anymore!!" Conner was going on about Percy being Chiron's favorite camper or something clicked. What if it was the same girl...

Steph's Pov-

So much to do, so little time. I threw 4 of my favorite books into my suitcase. Mom poked her head into my room. "You ready yet, Steph?" she asked me. "Uh, yeah." I had less time then I thought. It was 4:30 in the morning when we got to the airport. It must have been a long way from Texas if we had to get up so early. "New York?!" I exclaimed as she led me to the gate. "Yes, that's where the camp is. Once you get there, look for a Delphi Strawberry Truck. It will take you to Camp Half-Blood." she explained to me in a hurried voice. "Alright, bye Mom." I replied. Nothing had really taken me off guard, yet. "Bye Sweetie, I love you." she said, kissing my forehead. I climbed onto the plane, saying good-bye to Austin.

New York was ok. I liked Texas better. It was one of the reasons why I was so tan. Living in Texas made my olive skin look darker. The driver of the strawberry truck was covered in eyes. He didn't ask me my name or anything. But I didn't want to see him talk fearing of an eye on his tounge. He stopped in the middle of nowhere at the bottom of a hill. Which a recognized as Half-Blood Hill. Everything was so obvious. 2 boys were standing at the very top of the hill. "Hey, I'm Percy and this is Grover," the kid pointed to a goat boy thing. "Hi, I'm Stephanie" I almost stuttered my name. I hated to introduce myself. The boys showed me around camp and all the 'fun' activities I would get to do. Then he led me to the Hermes cabin. "Temporary" he said. So if I'm not Hermes, why am I here? I thought. As soon as I walked in everyone went silent. You could here a pen drop. It made me nervous. I didn't like being stared at. They started asking me questions about my dad, I didn't know anything about him though. "She could be a child of Janus." I heard some kid say. "Or Hecate." Another kid said. They went through a lot of names I never heard of. But then a boy named Travis smiled at me and said, "I think Morpheus." There was a long pause. Then Conner broke it, "Naw! She can't be!" Then the arguing continued. Until I saw Dream Boy walk into the cabin.

Nico's Pov-

I watched Percy and Grover leave the Hermes cabin. I walked through the door, all the Hermes kids were arguing about her godly parent. I scanned the room for any new faces. Where was she? I thought. "Hey Nico." Conner just went back to arguing. Then I saw a girl peek herself out from behind the bed post. No wonder I hadn't seen her, she was so quiet and well hidden. I was right, she was the same girl from my dream.

Steph's Pov-

Dream Boy found me. He looked confused. What did he know? What was he hiding? I thought. He pulled Conner and Travis aside, they were arguing in hushed tones. That was suspicious. To my luck, I heard a conch horn. I sighed in relief, dinner. Dream Boy left and I followed my cabin to the dining pavilion. I sat at the end of the table, not that there wasn't any room. I just didn't want to hear all those questions. I pecked at my food, not really hungry. I looked at all the campers, laughing and talking. Until I caught Dream Boy, all alone at one table in the back. And he was staring at me. He turned his head and I think he might have blushed. I never took my eyes off him once through dinner. Catching his eye every once in a while. He always looked away but I was never embarrassed. He was kinda.........cute. The way his hair stopped right below the ears and his dark eyes matched his olive skin. Oh what am I thinking? I don't even know his name! I thought as I stopped myself. And left dinner early.

Nico's Pov-

She stared at me through dinner. Travis and Conner told me her name was Stephanie and kept to herself. She didn't wear any make-up. And her hair didn't look styled. She didn't need it though. She was so different, so natural, so cute, so … wait! Did I just say cute!? This was becoming a nightmare! I looked at the Hermes table again and she was gone. Now was my chance to tell her. I got up and saw her walk into the woods. She had a notebook in her hand. I slowly followed her until I couldn't see her anymore. She couldn't have just disappeared! I thought. Then, I found her. She was sitting in a tree. Great, now how was I going to tell her? Suddenly, I had an idea. I closed my eyes and ran into the shadows.

Steph's Pov-

I climbed into the tallest tree I could find. I opened my notebook and flipped through the pages. I always drew when I was troubled and drew what was troubling me. To my surprise, I was drawing Dream Boy. I wonder what cabin he's in.. I thought. Then, Dream Boy was right next to me! I jumped, slamming my notebook. He appeared out of nowhere! "Oh, hi." I said.

Nico's Pov-

"Hey, Im Nico." I told her. She was shaking. Maybe she was nervous. "Uh, Stephanie." stephanie, I thought that's a nice name. "Are you here to guess who my dad is?" Crap she was fast. "Not guess, I know exactly who he is" She looked at me with questioning eyes. I decided to continue. "Stephanie, your dad is Morpheus, God of Dreams." Her eyes looked confused for a second, then she clenched her fists and jumped. Even though the tree was high, she landed with ease, then took off running. She was fast, too fast for me. But that didn't matter, she was already gone.

Steph's Pov-

Why did everyone keep secrets from me!? Did they think I couldn't take knowing who my dad is!? Did they think I was irresponsible or something!? I kept thinking stuff like that till' I got to the Big House. I found Chiron playing cards or something. "How come you didn't tell me my dad was Morpheus?" I was trying to keep my voice low. "Who told you?" he asked. "Nico told me, I only want to know why you didn't tell me and if it's even true."

"Yes, its true. I didn't tell you because I though it would be too dangerous for you to know. And to tell you the truth I'm not sure it would be safe for the campers if you knew either." Chiron said.

"That's insane. Why wouldn't it be safe for them?"

"Oh, entering dreams, controlling them, putting them to sleep forever. Things like that." he explained.

"I can do all that?!"

"oh maybe I shouldn't have told you..."

"no you should have, I won't do anything bad, Chiron. I promise." Fingers Crossed...

" I sure hope your right. Well if that's all you want to know than I should really get back to my game.."

That night, I lay in bed thinking about what Chiron told me. I wanted to try something, so I forced myself to sleep, and I did it! I was in this beautiful place, and the sun was just rising. But when the sun rose, I started to go blind. I screamed in pain, the light was surrounding me now. And it burned. I tried thinking of someone, anyone. The scene around me rippled, and I was in the woods again. Nico was leaning against a tree trunk, talking to a ghost. Well it looked more like arguing. "-Why do you care? It's my life! You don't always know what's best for me!" His tone kinda caught me off guard. Then he swiped away the figure with his hand. I walked over and sat down next to him. "I-I'm sorry I ran away, I'm just not-" then he cut me off. "No, it's okay. I shouldn't have told you in the first place." why was he apologizing? He didn't do anything wrong! "That's not why I ran." I practically whispered. He shot me a confused look. So I finished, "I'm glad you told me. I ran because I was mad that everyone didn't think I would be able to take knowing who my own father is." I explained. "oh. Well, it's not that we didn't think you could take it. Chiron thought it would be dangerous." Oh so now he tells me! "So, which cabin are you in?" It had been one of the reasons why I came here. "Hades." He replied matter of factually. I thought about what Chiron said about inheriting powers or something, "C'mon Nico, I wanna show you somethin" I just hoped it would work.
