Quickie note before I start the chapter. So @PraetorReyna1
commented and said the Mist doesn't cover up demigods only monsters, weapons and stuff like that.

Well in this case I am making the Mist thicker around Reyna and Nico. Okay? It's not like with when a demigod walks into school sits their ass down and everyone like OMFG where are they.

No so in case it wasn't clear.
Mist is thicker around Reyna and Nico so it covers them from the eyes of mortal at their will.

And thank you for you comment! I mean it it gives me more ideas so thank you.

*hugs*

As the harpy sinks her talon into Reyna skin drawing blood. She doesn't cry out but she does struggle managing to get one arm free.

Reyna rips her other arm free from the other harpy leaving three rings drawn in blood on her arm. Reyna uses both her hands and wraps them around the harpy's her neck.

They roll off the large dinning table and struggle toward the doorway.

"Ah! Let me go!" She screams faking her wings brown feathers littering the floor.

"After you!" Reyna yells as she places her sneakers under the harpy's underbelly and uses all her force to kill off. She sails hitting the small chandelier, dust falls shortly after her.

The chandelier rattles threatening to fall but it stays. Reyna scrambles and runs down the hall to the room the other two down on her trail.

Reyna opens the door quickly and shuts it after her trying to take the fight outside Helen's house.

"Open up!"

Reyna grabs her sword opens the window and jumps out. She lands in the large canopy underneath.

"Gods." Reyna said as she tries to jump off the canopy but is quickly caught, "Let me go!"

"Not a chance." They say in unison as they fly her back into the house throwing her through the already broken window.

Reyna sneers as she takes out her sword holding it at her side, "You know you can just return from where you came."

"Really? Foolish demigod we return bearing news of your death or-"

"We do not return at all." Her sister finishes from her her speckled white feathers falling at an alarming pace.

"That's a shame I would have hope this wouldn't have to come to this but you force my hand." Reyna said as she points the sword toward the pair.

The first lunges but quickly turns to dust when a single shadow passes by her in a quick glance. Reyna narrows her eyes at the single harpy remaining the mirror her expression.

"Halfbloods-" She starts as a shadow rises from behind her blocking out the sun from outside and taking her whole. Leaving no trace.

Nico starts at her place very beat up with dirt covering his face. His hair hangs low in his eyes his sword resting at his side.

He looks up pushing his hair back, "I thought I lost you again."

Reyna doesn't think when she drops her sword and tackles Nico to the ground.

"You stupid idiot!" She screams as she holds his own sword to his throat, "How dare you come and find me! I was going to find you! And plus-"

"I'm happy to see you to RA-RA." He said a small smile on his split lip.

"I-I-" Reyna drops his sword and presses her head to his chest, "I hate you. You know that?"

"Sure you do." He said sarcastic playing a hand on her head pulling her closer, "I'm glad I found you Reyna. I really am."

"Oh!" A female voice said as Reyna and Nico turn their head and Helen stand theirs.

"She can see us?" Nico said the ghost of a blush on his pale skin.

"Yes son of Pluto I can see you." Helen asks, "This is the boy you're on a quest with?"

"You know her?" Nico said surprised.

"Yeah she helped me when I was attacked by that hellhound." Reyna said as she pulls herself up and Nico dusted himself off.

"Well I'll get lunch started." Helen said and walks causally out the room just as a man with a shot gun walks in.

"Where are the Harpies?" He said as he accidental fires the gun and Nico shoves Reyna away who catches herself as the wall is struck with a bullet and it completely crumples.

"Gods." He sighs as lowers the gun.

"This is my husband who will be joining me in the kitchen. Isn't that right Hank?" Helen said shooting him a look and he grumbles softly following her, "You kids get cleaned up."

"Thanks for the shove, I would have moves." Reyna rubs her wrist looking at Nico.

"Your reflexes were slow." Nico said slyly his left hand in his pocket the other held his sword which was on his shoulder.

"Of course they were I saw the gun go off I would have moved in time." Reyna explains walking down the hallway to the bathroom.

Nico sits on the chair and he takes something off and tosses it to Reyna. Her backpack which has ambrosia and nectar inside.

She throws him an ambrosia square he eats it, "Don't you need one?"

Reyna shakes her head, "Only minor wounds. A few cracked ribs, some scratches and bruises nothing major."

He rolls his eyes and Reyna grabs a wash cloth and runs some cold water under it and throws it to him.

She sits on the bed taking apart her braid and putting it back together hoping to get as much dust out as possible.

"How did you get here?" Reyna asked as Nico washes off the dried blood.

"News." He said, "I was in a neighboring city and something caught me eye on one of those Televisions in the shop. The women was explains the destruction of the public fountain."

Reyna leans forward remembering her battle with the hell hound just the day prior.

"But I noticed there wasn't a car or something like that, that could have caused it so I shadow traveled here." He finishes as he moves the now stained wash cloth to his forehead.

"I would have thought you would go on without me." Reyna said her feet planted firmly on the ground.

"Reyna I would never leave you if I didn't know you weren't safe." Nico said as he holds the wash cloth between his hands.

Reyna finishes her braid and stands up but Nico stops her, "You have a whole in your shirt looks like the bullet almost got you."

Reyna pulls on the side to notice a huge hole toward the area between her ribs and her underarm.

"Great." Reyna goes into her back back pulls out a fresh Camp Half Blood shirt. The orange was still a little bright but she looks over her shoulder at Nico.

"Oh," Nico said and stands up and walks to the door, "I'll be downstairs."

Reyna nods and he goes and she takes off the shirt with a bullet hole and replaces it with the clean shirt. She slips her sword holder back on along with her back pack.

She walks down the stairs and hears the conversation they were having.

"I still can't believe you nearly shot the Praetor of New Rome." Helen said.

"With these old eyes she looked like a Harpy." Hank grumbles, "Wait did you say Praetor?"

Reyna walks through the door frame which now longer held a door and saw Nico leaned against a wall and Helen with a plate of sandwiches in front of her at the cash register with Hank leaning on the counter.

"Would you like a sandwich Reyna?" Helen asks holding the plate up.

Reyna mouthes water, "Yes please."

Her and Nico fill up in the sandwiches and he continues to tell how he got here after seeing the News and about how those Harpies attacked him.

Reyna told him how she destroyed the hell hound then one she saw the Harpies ducked in here and how she met Helen.

"So you're a Greek demigod?" Hank asked directed toward Nico.

"Yes." He answered and Hank eyes narrow over Nico shoulders as he points his shoot gun and pulls the trigger.

For a horrible moment Reyna thinks he shoot Nico but the exact opposite. The shop window shattered and Reyna looks outside to see a Basilisk before it disappear as the wind carries away it's dust.

Reyna runs out the shop door and down the street she sees about two more Basilisk looking for something. Or more like someone. Like two demigods.

"I think it's time to go." Nico whispers behind her and she wonders how he was able to get so close without her hearing him.

"Thank you Helen and Hank and I will look into finding your grandson. I promise." Reyna said as Nico jumps through the broken front window.

"Thank you." She whispers and Hank wraps an arm around her.

Reyna looks back one last time at the demigods and runs out following Nico the Basilisk see her and hiss in delight.

"You know I haven't seen this many monster attacks unless you're with Percy." Nico said as Reyna runs along side him.

"I agree." She said and smiles even though they are being pursued.

One of the Basilisk breath fire which makes a large dark mark by the sidewalk.

"Where is Mrs. O'Leary?" Reyna calls over the hisses.

"Somewhere near here I would whistle for her but the Basilisk are on our heels." Nico said running a slightly bit slower then Reyna.

"Then we fight." Reyna said but Nico grabs her hand.

"I sick of fighting Monsters I rather just save it for another day." He said as they approach the park.

"I think I can shadow jump without her to a safe place but I won't hold out for long." Nico said voicing his thoughts.

"I don't want you risking-" Reyna was beginning to say but they were already going deeper into the world of shadows.

Hello.
Another late update my bad, I've been busy with test and such.

So quick story!

I went to Pier 39 with my mom and siblings and my Mom's a lefty, so we went to a left hand store. Where they sell products for people who are left handed.

And toward the top they show a list of people who were left handed and about two of then were Roman leaders.

-Alexander the Great
- Caesar I forget his late name.

And I was thinking what if Reyna is left handed? It's my theory by wouldn't that be cool. She's a good Roman leader so yeah I meant to put this on the last note but forgot.

And I believe she's left handed unless the book said so.

Anyway thanks for reading and ily.
