Do u know why?
Okay, thank you! :-/
This is NOT Nobody. This is her evil twin sister. Shhhhh!:P
Does anyone know why she was deleted? I mean, there are only a few reasons why they do that to someone. It wouldn't be the fan fiction, right? Because unless you are trying to profit from it and/or taking credit for the characters there is nothing wrong with it. So...what did she do?
She's not 13 years old yet. You have to be 13 years old to have a Goodreads account. She's only 12.
I'm her friend.
I'm not like, a creepy stalker. if that's what you're wondering:P
Here we are. She edited/revised/fixed her next chapter and typed it up. Here:
Too Many Tears
That Fragile Piece of Glass Plummeted to the Floor and Exploded into Thousands of Shards.
"Can I tell you a secret?"
Alex and I were climbing up a sturdy, aged Oak Tree in the park. In case you were curious who won the Race, it was me. Obviously.
"Yeah sure."I replied to Alex as I shook a thick branch above my head to make sure it could my weight. The branch didn't snap or sag so I swung onto it easily and watched as Alex clambered up besides me."What's up?"I asked.
"You'll think I'm..crazy."Alex muttered softly, mostly speaking to himself, rather than me.
"Try me."I shredded a red-leaf-turning-black into small little minuscule pieces. Wherever I went plants always shriveled up and died. Another GREAT ability I have as a daughter of the Lord of the Dead and Underworld himself. Lucky me.
"I...I see...creatures..monsters..sometimes"My new, I guess you could say, friend, said so softly, I had to lean in closer to be able to hear."No one but me sees them."Seeing my dark eyes widen, he exhaled in a disappointed kind of way."You think I'm insane."
"No."I breathed. Was it even possible for a mortal, a MORTAL, to see through the mist?!"You..you're not insane Alex. They're..real."
Alex just laughed at me. A laugh that didn't believe. I could tell through the laugh that he WANTED to believe..believe what I said. But it just didn't seem possible. It didn't seem like that could even happen. He didn't believe me.
"Alex, I'm serious."My darkened eyes met his warm brown ones,"It's real."
Alex ripped his eyes away from mine."No...it's..it's not possible."He shook his head,"You're just as insane as I am...aren't you..we..we're both crazy.."
I bit my lip and looked down at the ground below us. "Then how do you explain the monsters that you see?"I demanded, speaking up and leveling my eyes back to Alex. I wasn't going to give up just because this mortal didn't believe it."You KNOW they exist It's not just a figment of your imagination. It's too real."
"I.."Alex's shoulders sagged."I don't know."He finally replied.
"Do you know anything about Greek mythology?"
He turned his head to look at me."What? What does that have to do with anything?"
"Those monsters you see, they're basically Greek monsters."A hydra, for example. It was slain by the famous Heracles. Well, hydras exist. And let me tell you, they are fierce, vicious, monsters that you never want to deal with."
The time when I was in Ohio, I remember, roaming the streets of Uptown Westerville, came to mind. I was just rounding the corner after that really good Ice Cream place, Graeter's, and then cutting through that Parking Lot behind the buildings and shops. And then that Hydra attacked me. It's Nine scaly heads snarling at me..the sharp teeth bared..the-
"Viola? Earth to Viola?"
I blinked several times to return back to reality and said,"S-sorry. What'd you, uh, say?"
He was looking at me strangely."You okay?"
"Yeah..totally fine."
He didn't believe me, but continued,"So..Hydras..exist?"
"Yup."
"What about..Minotaurs?"
"Those exist too."
"So let's assume these..monsters..do exist."Alex shrugged."Then why can't anyone else see them?"
"I..I don't exactly know."I admitted sheepishly."I never knew Mortals could...see through the mist."I added to my comment.
"..Wow."Alex said, his voice quieter than a whisper. But I didn't have to lean in this time to know what he said. It was kind of obvious he would say that. I bet anyone would.
"And, monsters aren't the only ones that exist."I explained. Hey, he knew about the Monsters..so why should I not tell him about the rest?"The Greek Gods exist."Seeing his astonished face, I continued my terrific explanation."And the Fates. And...Demigods."
"..Demigods?"I take it he obviously didn't have much knowledge on Greek Mythology.
"Offspring of a God, and Mortal."I clarified.
"Offspring of a God..."Alex swallowed."And how..may I ask..do you know about all of..this?"
"Well..um.."He knows about Monsters, Demigods, and Gods. Why not tell him my secret? But I barely knew him. I just met him. He could tell other people. But would they listen to him, nor believe him? Most likely..no. What harm would it do? Would Dad be erm, upset with me? Who cares about Dad. He's nothing to me."I'm a Demigod."I blurted out.
Awestruck, Alex said,"R-really?"He shook his head."This is crazy man. But...I-I'm not crazy! I'm not insane!"He grinned, overjoyed."I'm not insane, Vi. I thought I was, but I'm not!!!"He nearly shook with happiness and relief.
I gave him a simple, blunt nod.
"If you're a..demigod,"Alex said the word 'demigod' like it was a foreign word."Who's your..godly parent?"
I hesitated for a nanosecond before saying,"Hades."Take that Dad. You told me not to tell anyone about me. About my history. But I'm already going to. You haven't done anything major to help me. You won't tell me where my siblings are. You just want ME to be the person in that STUPID prophecy so YOU can PROVE to your STUPID GODLY FRIENDS that your children are worth something too. Well guess what Dad, you cannot just dump me out here BY MYSELF. A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. AND LEAVE ME ON MY OWN. That's just messed up on so many levels I cannot explain.
"The Lord of the Underworld-"
Before he could continue I said simply,"Yes."
Alex then asked me curiously,"Where's you..mortal mom then?"He also said the word 'mortal' like it was a foreign word. But I don't blame him. I guess Mortals don't call each other mortals..
"Dead."A flash of anger and hatred clouded my eyes for a millisecond. Then, it was gone.
"Oh, I'm s-"
"I'm sorry?"I snapped."I'm sorry for what, exactly? I'm sorry for doing absolutely nothing related to my mom's death?"I let the tears fall freely, not bothering to wipe them away."It wasn't your fault."
Alex's lips twitched into a smile."How'd it, er, happen?"
I brushed away the few tears that had fallen with the back of my hand."Zeus."More hatred seethed inside of me."He struck the hotel with lightning. Dad saved Nico, Bianca and I. It was Seventy years ago."
"Seventy years?!"Alex exclaimed.
"I was in the Lotus Hotel and Casino with my siblings. Time passes strangely there. Then a fury had us bathe in the River Lethe to wipe our memories."
"Why do you uh, look Fourteen?! Where ARE your siblings? How do you remember all of that if your memory was wiped?!?!"The words rushed out quickly.
"Physically, I'm Fourteen. Mentally, I'm Fourteen. In reality, I'm..well..old. Bianca's dead. I don't where Nico is. And two years ago I met my dad..Hades. He told me almost everything."
Alex tried to absorb all of this new information."So you've been hunting for your brother and hunting monsters?"
"Hunting monsters is more of a hobby."It was a dry joke. A stupid attempt to lift MY mood, rather than his. But it failed.
"Wow."He repeated for the umpteenth time, absent to the fact that he's said that about a million times already.
"I have no idea where Nico is."I stared at the crumbling leaf in my hands.
"You'll find him sooner than later."
"Are you sure about that? I've been looking for TWO years. He could anywhere here."I nearly exploded with a concoction of emotions.
"I wonder if he's forgotten me. I think about that everyday. I wonder if he's moved on. Without me. He's TEN. I missed TWO years BLOODY years of his life. I wonder if he even needs me anymore."That's when I broke into pieces. And I didn't cry jut a tear or two. It was a marathon of tears running down my cheeks. The emotions and feelings taking over me.
That fragile piece of glass plummeted to the floor and exploded into thousands of shards.

A Run in with a Goddess
All I've ever wanted was for someone to hold me and tell it would be okay;even if it wasn't or wouldn't be okay.
"Shh,"Alex said, voice a whisper."It's alright."He held me in his arms, murmuring awkward, but gentle words to me. My face was cut with fresh, wet, tears. My whole body shook and trembled as quiet sobs flooded out of my lips. Alex brushed some dark hair out of my tear-streaked face and continued to hold me. I felt vulnerable and small. What an odd feeling.
All I've ever wanted was for someone to hold me and tell me it would be okay;even if it wasn't or wouldn't be okay.
As the small sobs slowed down, I turned my gaze down to the ground to ensure myself that no one was here in the park. I definitely did not want anyone else to see me cry like an infant. No. I wouldn't let anyone else see me cry. Never in a million years. Along with the sobs, the tears gradually began to stop. Relieved, I gingerly touched my cheeks to brush away any lingering tears.
"Awww, how darling is this!"A sweet, melodic voice cooed, the noise coming from the ground.
In a flash, I untangled myself from Alex's comforting hold, and swung myself onto the wood branch below the one I was sitting on, and climbed down the Oak Tree. After I was only a few feet off the earth, I just let go of the branches and jumped, landing on the dirt gracefully and glancing at our little spy.
She had beautiful, lovely eyes, the color of lavender and light, fine hair the color of chestnuts, that was curled elegantly at the tips. The aroma of lavender emitted off of the woman. She wore a simple white flowing shirt and casual jeans...
What a strange attire for the goddess of Love and Beauty.

Next Chapter! See, I promised she would write another chapter tonight! New Years Gift XD But she said that if she gets a Zero for not completing her book report, interview, and 10 sources, then she's blaming it on you guys XD
Note from the AUTHOR: I know, I'm so mean to Viola! Don't kill me for ruining her friendship with Alex!!*Flees to Canada*
I am an Idiot
I was probably their new entertainment on Hephaestus TV, and they were laughing at my failed attempts to find my brother, Nico.
"Aphrodite, what a...nice surprise,"I had to force that part out. Nice surprise. Pft."How are you?"I knew I had to be polite, so I didn't say what I was about to say. Which was,"Go away Aphrodite."One rude word or comment would not be good. I'm pretty sure I didn't want to be enemies with a goddess.
"Viola, darling. How lovely it is to finally meet Hades' wonderful daughter!"The goddess smiled enthusiastically."Oh my, who is this handsome young man?"
I wondered how this Goddess knew about me and who I was. None of the Olympians knew who I was. Except for Hades and Persephone, of course. But obviously, rumors spread quickly, Gods spy and basically stalk you sometimes, so on. I was probably their new entertainment on Hephaestus TV, and they were laughing at my failed attempts to find my brother, Nico. Ugh."This is..um Alex."I replied before cutting to the chase."So, why exactly are you here, My Lady?"And why are you bothering me?"Surely such an important Goddess as yourself has much better things to do."Flattery. Nice tactic Vi.
Meanwhile, Alex looked like some weird, constipated, abnormal fish with his mouth agape."S-she's a..g..goddess?!"
"Mm, yes. Strange right? She usually wears more flashy clothing, I'd imagine."I tilted my head unconsciously.
"I thought I'd go for a more..plain look."Aphrodite shrugged casually then added with an excited squeal,"I just wanted to see the cutest couple ever! You two are like celebrities on Hephaestus TV!"
I nonchalantly inched away from Alex, and he did the same from me."Uh..couple?!"I stammered, ooh no.."We are not a couple!"I said the last few words a bit too loud, and my pale cheeks were flushed, colored with a light shade of red. I quickly sneaked an uncomfortable glance at Alex..his face looked like it was burning with bright red colors.
"Hm?"The Goddess looked slightly disappointed before saying insistingly,"But I could already see it! Viola, daughter of Hades, the dark mysterious girl desperately searching for her little baby brother, falls for a mortal!"A glint of excitement and hopefulness sparkled in her lavender eyes.
"Sorry to waste your time, Lady Aphrodite, but we are not a couple."I repeated, my face gently cooling down. Gods, I can not believe the Gods are watching my life on Hephaestus TV."I am sure you have much more important things to be attending, no?"
The Goddess of Love and Beauty let out a dramatic sigh."Fine. But IM me if you two ever hook up. And if you do not, I'll be back."She winked before vanishing in a pink cloud of mist.
Alex broke the silence."IM? Like-"
"Iris Message."I answered absently, forgetting that Alex was a mortal and had no definite idea what the Hades that was.
"Iris M-Okay. I'm not even going to ask."He shook his head, the red on his face reducing to a faint pink.
"Um, sorry about Aphrodite."I looked at the dirt again, blushing madly, again.
"Uh, it's cool."Alex replied, awkwardly. He fiddled with the drawstrings to his grey hoodie..twisting the two strings around and then unwinding them again.
I had no idea what else to say, so I just blurted out,"It was um, nice to, uh, hang out with you, erm, but I've got to go."
Caught of guard and a bit surprised, he said,"W-what?"
"I've got to go."I enunciated my words slowly and clearly.
"But, why?"He sounded a bit, what, reluctant? Disappointed?
"I have to continue looking for Nico. You know that."
"Let me come with you."He pleaded, brown eyes begging."I just met you and all, but I want to help you. Please."
"Alex..it's too dangerous for a-"
"Too dangerous for a mortal?"Said a bitter sounding Alex."Of course."
"I didn't mean it that way-"I protested, already hating myself for saying that. Too dangerous for a mortal?! Why the Tartarus did I even say that?! I am such an idiot. He probably hates me.
"Goodbye, Viola. I wish you the best of luck."Alex did a 180 turn and began to walk away, to the archway that was the exit. I watched him walk away. Just like that. I didn't go after him because I'm a socially contempt, awkward, idiot.
And he didn't turn back once.

Hey she typed another chapter!
Fading
The tears were already falling, like rain down a windowpane.
Clutching my tiny, leather-bound photo album in my left hand, I prepared myself to Shadow Travel away. My mind whirled like gears shifting, with emotions. So many conflicted emotions. I didn't want to decline Alex's offer to come with me and help. Believe me, I wanted him badly to come with me. But it was for the best, don't hate me. He couldn't get hurt because of me. I didn't want to hurt him.
A sleepy, drawling voice suddenly spoke to me. Poor Viola, poor, poor Viola. All alone, left out here to fend by yourself. Desperately searching for little Nico. Grieving over your sister's death. Ah..what was her name? Bianca..that's it. Yes, Bianca. She had to watch over Nico for two years. Do you know how much they missed you? How they longed for you? As days went by, they thought you left them for good. But they were too scared to talk to anyone about you, because you told them to never tell a soul about your goal. To find the answers. Oh Viola..ignorance is bliss. Have you ever heard that saying before? You should have stayed with them. And now because of you, Bianca is dead. Yes, dear. DEAD. You were dubious at first when you felt that, dark, dark feeling inside of you, whispering that your darling sister was dead. But you knew inside, that it was true. Poor Viola, your mother is dead. Maria di Angelo. Yes, she was a good mother I bet. She always sang in Italian for you at night, I believe. How sweet. But that hotel..struck by the Mighty God Zeus' lightning. How unfortunate. To tell you the truth, I was going to kill your mother anyway. But lucky for me, Zeus did the job for me. All just because of some prophecy. Poor Viola-
"JUST SHUT UP"I screamed. I had no idea where the sleepy, creepy voice was coming from. In my head, most likely. Maybe I was hallucinating. But no, it couldn't be just a hallucination. The voice was too real. And also, how did this Voice know so much about my past?! The tears were already falling, like rain down a windowpane."LEAVE ME ALONE!"
The dirt beneath me was swirling in circles, surrounding me. Dust clouded my vision. Everything was beginning to fade. I no longer could see anything but dirt and dust flying around me. And then I slipped away from consciousness and collapsed.

AUTHOR'S Note: Can anyone guess who the SLEEPY voice was in this chapter? Anyone?
You guessed it. DIRT FACE. You all know how Gaea like, ruined a lot of the Seven's(As in, Percy Annabeth Piper Frank Leo Jason and Hazel)lives or provoked them a lot? Ex: Taunting and Provoking Leo, causing him to lose control and set the room his mom was in on fire. Always saying to Leo that he's the 7 wheel. Etc. Well, she's kind of doing that to Viola. I'm kind of thinking of adding a twist(You probably won't expect it unless I decide not to or change my mind) so bare with me!
Fading
The tears were already falling, like rain down a windowpane.
Clutching my tiny, leather-bound photo album in my left hand, I prepared myself to Shadow Travel away. My mind whirled like gears shifting, with emotions. So many conflicted emotions. I didn't want to decline Alex's offer to come with me and help. Believe me, I wanted him badly to come with me. But it was for the best, don't hate me. He couldn't get hurt because of me. I didn't want to hurt him.

Opinions, anyone? She revised and edited another chapter! Btw, apparently the Hermes guy talking to Nico is Connor Stoll*whispers*Nobody may be a bit in love with Connor Stoll bahahaha.
Seeing Nico
Even though I was dreaming, I could feel my heart shattering at my brother's very words.
"Mr di Angelo, everything will be alright. You have nothing to worry about. Bianca is fine, as are Zoe and Thalia."A middle-aged man with greying hair, bushy caterpillar eyebrows, an a beard stood on a wooden porch connected to a large house. The most..unique feature the man had was from the waist down, was the body of a magnificent white stallion.
"But-"A young boy at about age ten on the creaky steps of the porch. He had dark hair and eyes. Left hand clutching a set of Mythomagic cards.
Nico.
"No buts, Nico. Your sister is in good hands."The centaur said firmly, but gently."Now, one thing that I would like to know,"Crossing his arms, he continued,"Where is Percy?"
Nico fidgeted, uncomfortable."I don't know."Seeing the horse man's look, he gave in."Percy followed them."
"That would explain the missing Pegasus."
"I asked him to look out for Bianca."My brother admitted.
"Another reason why your sister is in safe hands."The centaur flicked his tail patiently.
"Yes, sir."Nico clomped down the steps dejectedly. As he walked, he muttered to himself,"Percy failed. I can feel it. She's dead. Why won't anyone believe me?"
****
I sat up, gasping. My body was sprawled out on the grass of the park. The sky was darkening, only some streaks of red in view from the setting sun. I must have fallen asleep. But oddly, I don't exactly remember going to sleep..what happened? Wait. Oh yeah. Crazy voice in my head. The world spinning. How could I forget? But that dream. It was so real. Nico...Nico..he was there. Maybe my dream really did happen. That crazy thought almost made me laugh. How was that possible? But after a second thought, I decided, being a Demigod, almost anything could happen.
Rolling onto my side and my eyelids gently closed shut and I was soon pulling into sleep.

Nico di Angelo walked into a cabin with clothes and belongings scattered everywhere, shoulders slouched and posture dejected looking.. The room was vacant of people except for Nico. The boy sat down on a bed in the back of the cabin and looked around to make sure no one was there before fishing out an old photograph from his jeans' pocket. It was withered and slightly crumpled. On the photograph was a girl at about age Twelve. She had dark hair pulled into a braid and tan skin. She looked exactly like me. Only difference was I obviously am older and my complextion isn't tan anymore, more like "moonlight" pale.
Nico stared at the wrinkled paper, sadness and pain showing clear on his expression."I lost you, Viola,"He whispered,"Now I lost Bianca."Here's the thing, my brother NEVER cried. But I watched, shocked, that a single tear slipped down his cheek. Just one. It dripped onto the picture of me and slipped onto the creaky wooden floorboards. Plop."Why did you leave us? Me?"Nico shouted, surprising me."We needed you."He said, his voice barely a whisper again."Why did you go?"Even though I was dreaming, I could feel my heart shattering at my brother's very words.
He shoved the tear-stained picture under his pillow abruptly when he heard the sound of the door open and saw bright sunlight peaking into the cabin."Hey, buddy."A tall, lean guy with brown curly hair that fell into his blue eyes peaked into the Hermes Cabin."It's uh, Campfire time. You'll probably be claimed tonight."He smiled crookedly in a friendly way before shutting the door.
Nico stood up and walked to the door, slammed it shut, after walking out. Then he was gone. Just like that.

Yes! So you've taken over posting this after that person got kicked out of Goodreads?
Why did she get deleted, anyway?
yup i'm her friend, in real life. outside of GR ayway.
and she's only 12 and you have to be 13 to have a GR account. GR deleted it because of that.
