Black and Blue

Nico stared after Percy then shrugged and headed for the bed with the girl. She sat up, the covers falling off. I studied her as she did the same to me. She wore black pants, a black long sleeve shirt, and black combat boots studded with silver spikes sharp enough to be used as weapons.

"Son of Hades," She said in an emotionless voice. Her midnight-blue and black eyes seemed to look right through me. I almost shivered.

"And who do I have the pleasure of meeting?" I asked tensing as a wave of power flashed off of her.

"Amber," She said slowly unwilling to reveal too much,"Amber di' Alba. Daughter of Poseidon. Half sister to Perseus Jackson." She stood up, her hand moving to her ruined shirt. I could just make out the outline of a long jagged scratch before she covered it. She saw me looking and said,"Manticore. I killed it then the poison forced me to jump off a cliff. I washed ashore here."

"How do you know so much about us?" I asked stiffening.

For the first time, a glint of fear sparked in her eyes but she hid it quite well. "I have my ways," She responded casually. She walked passed me and to the door. "Are you going to just stand there?"

I glared at her and walked outside. She headed for her cabin- only gods know how she knew where to go - and I headed for mine. It was dark and black. Perfect. I slipped inside and stared at the statue of my dad while fiddling with my skull ring. A couple minutes later I hear a banging on my door and get up with a sigh to open it. It was Amber.

She still had her black shirt on. "Do you have any sisters or children of Nyx here?" She asked annoyance dripping into her voice.

"No," I say carefully, "Why?"

"The camp only has orange and Percy only has blue shirts," She says.

Ahhh. This makes sense. "Where that." I say rolling my eyes.

She pushes her way in and to the closet. "Thank you." She says grabbing a black long sleeve shirt,"Tell Hazel thanks."

I watched open mouthed as Amber left. She couldn't just take it! How did she know about Hazel?

Notes

I hope this isn't too bad. It is similar to Death and Water because that is where I got my inspiration from. I'll try to update tommorrow but I may not be able to.
For those of you in the United States, Happy July 4th!
