C/N: Here is the next chapter. The one after this depends on the amount of reviews. 25 needed to get a 'secret story' on Reyna and Nico.

Review and Enjoy

Reyna jumped away from him. Different emotions from seeing the son of Hades seeped through her reserve and he watched her struggle. She stumbled backwards, crawling away from her Chosen Master and staying away from the others. Nico's eyes saddened but he said nothing, listening to her ragged breathing and yet also able to feel her fear and confusion rolling off of her in waves.

"Reyna-" Annabeth tried to reach her, but the daughter of Bellona slapped her hand away, hurting Annabeth by the rejection.

"Why are you here?" Reyna struggled to speak as her breathing was quick and shallow.

Nico's eyes looked towards Percy and then back to her. "Percy told me to come, but he didn't tell me exactly why." His accusative tone didn't faze Percy, but Percy nodded nonetheless. "Rey, I-"

"Don't call me that." Was her stern answer to the nickname. She allowed him to call her that in private, but not when her best friend and Zoe were present, much less with Percy around.

He got the point and tried again. "Reyna, I didn't come to hurt you. I only came at Percy's call."

"So your his dog. You do as he commands, right?" Her snark made Nico flinch, the words driving in deeper than Reyna had thought they would. "Nico, I-"

He raised a palm, silencing her automatically. "You're wrong. He says they are commands, but we both know they're only favors and requests. We help each other, Reyna. I'm sorry for giving you that view of me." He turned back towards Percy after sitting down a bit away from Reyna's fearful figure. "So why'd you call?"

Percy rubbed his neck sheepishly as Zoe glared daggers at him. "Well, seems like I let slip that I am to be crowned-" At those words Nico's eyes widened, but Percy quickly explained- "But they don't know what or when it is." Nico's posture relaxed a bit, and Percy sat down across from him. "I wanted to know your thoughts on letting them all know." He emphasized all so that Nico understood it was including Reyna, who crawled back until her back hit the wall, where she sat stiffly and watched the two boys.

"Your call. Lord Poseidon wouldn't want you to, but then again you don't really follow his rules so again it's your choice." His answer was almost immediate, but the question in his voice and dark irises was evident to Reyna.

"Well what I meant is if you tell or I do, because seriously they deserve to know what's happening in the hierarchy." Nico gave him a pointed look and Percy sighed. "Fine, just asking." He waves to Reyna. "Could you sit on the couch Nico's on? Zoe and Annabeth already have immediate claim to my couch."

Reyna, with hesitance, slowly raised herself off the floor and walked stiffly to the couch, her posture stiff as she sat down near the edge of the couch, as far from Nico as possible. Zoe and Annabeth sat on either side of Percy, Zoe punching his arm before she whispered angrily into his ear.

"Well, now that everyone is sitting down nearby, I guess I start from the beginning?" Nico nodded before saying something about 'the start', to which Percy sighed again. "Before any of this, there was a lone woman who walked the earth. She loved the natural world and kept to herself, always in the forests. One day she heard an airplane, and she followed it until it crashed into the side of her parent's house, killing her mother and father." Zoe glared at the ground while Annabeth listened intently.

"She didn't really care for her parents, but fell in love with the pilot of the airplane. Months later they got married and had twelve kids. They lived in a farm, and lived an okay life. Years later, the mother didn't like how busy her husband was with the farm and how he didn't pay attention to his children. The twelve kids only grew up mostly with their mother, so when she said she wanted them to get rid of their father, they believed her cruel words.

"On their fifteenth anniversary, the wife planned a picnic for her and her husband. The father found it a pleasant surprise as she was always so cold around him. Once she seduced him, her four younger sons came out of hiding, pinning their father to the ground.

The youngest son pulled out his father's scythe, lifting it high to end the life of the so-called cruel man. "Why are you doing this?!" His father screamed, looking at him before looking to his mother.
"Because I am the next in line." Was the boy's hateful words before he killed his own father, the blood running into the ground before the plants soaked up the liquid, making the crops grow dark red.

Years later the son married a woman he fell in love with, taking her as his own even as she refused to be his. She gave him six children. Once the sixth child grew older, he killed his cruel father and took the hidden facility as his own. He split part of the leadership with his two older brothers, each having their own children with their catches. The three sisters were only seen as maids, though the brothers were quickly put in their places by the oldest sibling, their sister.

As time went on, they found a way to survive, growing to an adult age before taking a serum that, once injected, made the person immortal unless killed by another. Once the child grew into adulthood, he was then crowned as the new King figure in their 'faction', marrying at least one of their Chosens who had no choice but to bare children of the husband. Sometimes it was a woman who became 'Queen' and married one or more of her Chosens that who do as she wished, having children as she wished.

"Now there are Six leaded Factions: The Lightning Faction, lead by King or Lord Zeus; The Water Faction, lead by King or Lord Poseidon; The Deadly Faction, lead by Hades; The Hearth, lead by Hestia; The Peacock, lead by Hera; and The Scythe, lead by Queen or Lady Demeter.

"I am the first heir to the throne for the Water Faction," He pointed to himself in mock interest. "Nico is first heir to the throne of the Deadly Faction." Nico slumped back into the couch at the mention of his duty. "I will be turning eighteen in fifteen days, which will be when I am 'crowned' and choose at least one of my Chosens to marry me. They will in turn have to bear my children in the future and the cycle should continue on until someone can change their faction and gain an army to destroy the other factions to stop the cycle." Percy summed it up. Zoe reddened at something she was thinking while Percy slumped back in between her and Annabeth, his energy gone from explaining so much.

Reyna tensed as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She relaxed into the warm hand until she tensed at realizing who it was. Nico asked Percy, "Could I leave with Reyna. We should leave the story here tonight." Percy mumbled a 'sure' before Nico pulled Reyna up, his hand holding hers as he led them out of the apartment. Once the door closed shouting could be heard through the door, causing a sad sigh to leave Nico before he let go of her and walked towards his apartment. Reyna followed in silence, not feeling like having a conversation with the heir.

Nico held the door open for her, and Reyna quickly walked into the living room, stopping near the kitchen before turning to her Chosen Master, who watched her sadly.

C/N: Okay yes I cut it short there, but as I said it'll be a bonus or 'secret story' that you will only be able to see if we get 25 reviews on this story in total. We are very close, so just two more reviews and we'll make it. Enjoy and please review.
