After getting directions to the bathroom I left the room getting some fresh air. I noticed how empty the house seemed. It was as if the house was missing something. I shrugged it off and got to the bathroom and did my business. After leaving the bathroom I, instead of going back to the dining room, decided to explore the house. As I did I noticed multiple paintings and pictures of different battles. I saw a painting of a British Soldier charging a Revolutionary Yankee as canons fired in the background, another painting of a black US soldier shielding a woman from shots coming from a Confederate soldier, then a painting of a WWI French soldier ducked inside a trench while firing an M1 grand rifle at an Austrian soldier as explosion could be seen in the background, after that I saw the depiction of Paris on fire as Nazi forces occupied the city, then after that followed photos of viet kong firing at yankee forces as children could be seen crying and hiding. I take back what I said about this house being cheerful. "Why are these here?" I asked myself allowed before hearing muttering. I stayed silent as I walked towards the voice to enter a room filled with shells of books and maps sprawled across the wall. "Woah." I say quietly before hearing a book shut. I continued to follow the sounds and saw Nathen hunched over a table writing in a note book with his black blazer hanging off the back of the chair. I stared at him unable to look away. He had his sleeves on his white dress shirt rolled up showing off a decent amount of muscle. I kept peeking around a corner watching as he opened and closed multiple books at a time. I was able to see some of his writing in his books. It was weird since it was in Latin. 'Why is he writing in a dead language?" I thought as I tried deciphering what I could since I knew a little Latin. As I examined it I could only describe this as a web if ideas around some words. 'Still Alive?' I tilted my head like a confused pup when Nathen let out a sigh.

"Is it possible she follows the same rules as us?" He asked himself before writing more. I went to get a better look only to accidentally knock a book off a shelf. I quickly pulled back hoping to hide as best as possible. I stopped breathing. Who knows how long passed before I let out a breathe. I didn't hear anything and went to look back only to meet silvery blue eyes. I yelped falling back seeing Nathen standing there with no emotion. "How long?" He asked me as I tried to calm down.

"A few minutes." I say scared as he held out a hand. I took it and was pulled up with my face being inches from his. His hands were cold and soft. "I'm sorry I was just admiring the house and found this room." I say looking away.

"No don't apologize. It's human nature to be curious." He says and turns around walking back to his little setup. "You should get back to the dining room." He says in a suggestive tone. "Or stay and read. I don't mind. Just be careful to not disturb my work. I walk with him and sit down next to him. He was still writing stuff down when I couldn't shake a question.

"Who's still alive?" I asked as he stopped writing and looked at me.

"Can you read this?" He asked pointing to his writing as I nodded. "Have you studied Latin before?"

"I did it a few years ago for a bit but I'm not fluent in reading it." I say as he stares at me before scribbling something about possible offspring. "What?"

"Nothing just you helped me realize something I looked over. Now please go and join my family. I sense that your presence is needed in the dining room." He said as I sighed and left the library. When I got to the dining room I saw that Nathens father and Apollyon were gone. I sat back down at my seat.

"Where have you been?" Percy asked me as Ash seemed to be looking Grace up and down.

"I got turned around on my way back and ended up in the library." I say as she looks at me like I'm an idiot.

"Did you disturb Nathen?" She asked as i look down. "How are you still alive?"

"What do you mean? He acted so calm about me being there." I say as percy looks offended.

"Wow anytime I disturb him I get in trouble but when a guest who hasn't even been here before disturbs him it's all hunky dory." She complained as I laughed at this response. "Well do you and Ash want to go watch a movie with me?" She asked as Ash was already standing behind us.

"What are we going to watch?" Ash asked before I saw the assistant (Lucy? Why is she called- oh short for that. Okay.) smiles our way.

"Mind if I join your ladies night?" Lucy asked with delight. I don't like her one bit. Something sets me off when I look at her.

"Do you guys mind?" Percy asked us.

"Only for the movie." Ash said as I nodded.

"Its fine as long as he doesn't ruin it." I say as I watch Lucy smile.

"Excellent. Lead the way." She said as Percy took us to a big room with rows and rows of chairs facing a giant screen. "Ah. I remember this room. Nathen and I had a wonderful time in here." I instantly got jealous and wanted to punch Lucy.

"Don't you dare mention anything about what you and my cousin have down." Percy said with disgust as we sat down in the chairs. The movie we were going to watch was some romcom which I didn't mind but out of the corner of my eye I could have sworn I saw Lucy's skin color change from tanned to red every now and then but didn't question it thinking it was the lighting.
