A New Relationship

Nico
There were so many deaths, so many. One was one of the bravest girls at camp, Clarisse La Rue. Nico wiped away a tear as Clarisse's body was placed on a tombstone. The last time this ceremony had been performed was when Percy had been thought dead after he blew up the mountain when he was 15. Annabeth had been heartbroken and sad that she had lost a best friend, as they had not been dating at that time yet.
Nico wiped a tear away as Clarisse's shroud went up in flames. Nico scanned his surroundings and spotted the very person who he wanted to see. His heart pounded against his chest and he tried to stop the fluttering butterflies in his stomach. Nico took a deep breath and walked up to the sobbing girl. "Reyna, could I talk to you for a second...alone." Nico whispered. Reyna turned around and followed Nico out of the light of the fire.
Nico reached into his pocket and took out a silver bracelet embedded with diamonds that were intertwined with shimmering pearls. Nico leaned in towards Reyna and stammered, "Reyna, will you be my girlfriend?" Reyna stared into the distance and Nico's shoulders slumped. Nico started,"I...I... Sorry. I should have known. You wouldn't like a zombie like me. You deserve someone-" Reyna stopped him with an effective trick. She smashed her lips into Nico's and he shut up.

Reyna
Reyna continued to kiss Nico, wishing that she had fallen for him earlier. Her arms intertwined around his neck without pulling her lips away. Nico's hands slid slowly to her waist and they continued to eat each other's faces. After what seemed like hours, they finally pulled apart. Nico whispered, "I'll take that as a yes." He slipped the beautiful bracelet onto Reyna's wrist. Reyna buried her face in Nico's chest and they stayed in that position for a while, until Nico cleared his throat,"We should probably get back or the others are gonna get worried." Reyna nodded and they walked back with Reyna's head on Nico's shoulder.
When they reached the campfire, campers gawked at the two of them together and Jason choked when Reyna gave Nico a light kiss. Reyna tried her best not to smirk and ignored the other campers' gaze. Piper ran over to them and beams,"You guys are so cute together! I assume that you guys are dating." Reyna smiled and nodded, hugging Piper. Just as the last bit of Clarisse's shroud went up in flames, a roar emitted from the woods.

Everyone
"Campers, positions!" Chiron shouted. The gods and Chaos stood in the first line, and the campers were organized behind. One hunter of Artemis stood in each line, while the Seven took the second line with Thalia, Reyna and Nico. With their best fighters, Luke and Annabeth gone, and Percy on the opposing team, their chances of survival were extremely low. "Weapons at the ready!" Chiron commanded and everyone raised their weapons. The ground trembled and everyone braced themselves for the worst.
The army arrived. In the front was Order and Percy, and countless monsters stood behind them. Order smirked and sneered,"I think that we have something that belongs to you. Order snapped his fingers and to balls of light appeared. As the light thinned and became transparent, the figures inside were spotted and the campers screamed to let them go.
