I do not own Percy Jackson even though I wish I really did along with beautiful Percy and hot Nico ;)

She was beautiful. She was everything he wanted and yet he couldn't have her. Well maybe being the Oracle of Delphi was part of it. She was to remain forever virginal. To not be in love with anybody and that's what scared him most.

Rachel's point of view:

I wanted him and that was bad. I had never felt this way before. Not even with Percy. Maybe it was the way he flicked his razored black hair. Or the way his onyx eye's glinted in the moonlight. Whatever it was drove me crazy. And the bad point is I can't have him. I can't have anybody. But the fact that he was forced upon me to be my protector really pissed me off. It's like the Gods were trying to make me break my vow to Apollo.

It started 5 years ago. Right after I went into the attic and let the Oracle pass into me. Apollo was so worried that I might MIGHT get death threats that he made Hades sign Nico as my bodyguard. Okay so it's not so bad, Nico is awesome to hang out with and he's my best friend but he is intensely good looking and that made things difficult. Being only 18 I expected him to still be the scrawny little boy I met back in camp but I couldn't have been more wrong. He had dramatically grown in size being well the same size as Percy. His hair hung in a jagged cut framing his dark brooding eyes. His long tanned neck led down to a heavily ripped torso and muscular arms. God had Nico turned from being a boy to a man. He made me scream at the way he acted though. Total man-whore. He had a new girl in my apartment every other night. And tonight was no different.

I left my studio and cleaned the paint of my hands. I released my red hair out of the tight bun I had put it in. I ran my wet hands across the front of my art shirt and pulled the shirt over my head. I looked into the mirror and realised I still had paint on my face. My red freckles mixed with the deep orange flicks of paint. I sighed. Now I was going to have to have a shower. I quietly padded out into the living room to see Nico sprawled on top of a blonde body. He's at it again. Lately he had been at it a lot more than usual. Always a blonde, long legged, big boobed Barbie doll. Everything I couldn't be. "Nico" I called. He looked up at me, his dark brooding eyes filled with lust. His cheeks were slightly red and had lipstick smudges on. "Can you please take it in your room?" he grunted which I expected was a yes. I didn't wait for them to move. I walked straight into my room and shut the door. Soon enough I heard the grunting and the moaning. I flicked on my iPod and turned it full blast drowning out Nico's grunts of pleasure. I got in the shower. The one place you can't tell the difference between water and tears.

Nico's point of view:

Why did she have to walk in on that? Okay it's not like she hadn't seen it before but I could see the hurt in her eyes. I felt like a dick. Who was I kidding, I was a dick. Every girl I had in here was so different to her. I tried to forget the way her perfect red lips would pout when she was displeased, or the way her freckles were spattered just below her high cheek bones. But it just wasn't happening. The real reason I had this bimbo in here was because she was nothing like Rachel, but every time I pushed into her all I could see was Rachel. I abruptly stopped causing the blonde to stop scratching her talons down my back and sit up. I mean I can't even remember her name? "What's wrong baby?" her sickly sweet voice said. I internally cringed at the nickname she had given me. "Get out" I simply stated. It was a clear enough instruction yet she still had to persist and ask what was wrong. I didn't need this. I walked away and closed my door leaving the blonde on her own on my bed. I walked into the kitchen a pulled a beer out of the fridge. I sat on the couch and lazily drunk the bottle. I swear I could hear crying. I shrugged. Probably the bimbo. I grabbed my cell and dialled Percy's number.

"Hello" He sounded out of breathe. Probably being fucking Annabeth. "Hey cus" "Oh hey Nico, what's up?" I sighed. "Oh Rachel again huh?" How was it that my cousin seemed to know what was wrong just by me sighing? "How'd you guess?" He chuckled down the line. "1Nico you're my cousin and 2 Rachel is one of my best friends." I pinched my arm lightly to slightly feel the pain. "So what's she done now?" I sighed again. "It wasn't her, it's me" Percy gently growled down the phone. "What did you do?" "I didn't mean for her to walk in on me" Percy sighed "Nico you asshole" "I know but Percy her eyes were filled with hurt, I don't know what to do?" A lump in my throat had formed. "Apologise maybe?" "How exactly when she won't even look at me?" "I don't know but Nico whatever you do, you better do it fast, you know how Rachel can hold grudges" I thanked Percy for being not much help before hanging up on him. I wish I could apologise like Percy said but things weren't that easy anymore.

Rachel's point of view:

After quietly sobbing myself to sleep, my dream was fairly disturbing.

Blood and guts were everywhere. I awoke rather alarmingly, the sun filtering through the blinds. I wiped my hand across my sweat ridden forehead. My head throbbed and my heart was pounding. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen to find Nico with his back to me, topless. Now if this was any other person I would have sent them packing but Nico, I just couldn't. I don't know how long I was staring but it must have been long because I found dribble on my chin. Nico turned and saw me. My cheeks turned a hideous shade of red. Nico was basically eye fucking me. Why? Im sure I didn't look that amazing I mean I was wearing my shorts and cami, nothing special. I looked down to realize I wasn't wearing anything except for my floral bra and matching panties. I could have sworn I put my cami and shorts on. I can officially say I have never felt more embarrassed in my whole life. I quickly turned on my heel and ran into my bedroom. I snatched up my silk kimono and tied it tightly before going back into the kitchen. Nico again had his back to me. This time he turned as if sensing my presence. He nodded in my direction. Like nothing has just happened. I glided past him and grabbed the coffee pot. "Morning" I said my throat becoming dry. I turn around to find he's facing me again. He looked down at the floor "Rachel I wanna apologise" I swallow sourly clearly remembering what happened last night. I turned my back on him. "It's fine" I croaked. My eyes immediately began to fill with tears. "No its not, you shouldn't have had to see that" He moved to stand beside me; he was so close I could smell him, death and pine. "Nico don't" I grabbed my coffee cup and pushed past him. "Red wait" I gently placed my cup on the table and turned to Nico "Don't Red me, im not in the mood" he sighed. I hope he'd given up, but this was Nico not just some random demi god. I turned back around and sat with my back to him. "Rachel what do you want me to say?" my anger flared. "Nothing Nico, I don't want you to say anything, because whenever you do it hurts okay?" My body stiffened; did I just say that out loud? Nico sat in the chair opposite me making impossible to avoid his eyes. "Im sorry, I don't try to hurt you" I snorted. The tears in my eyes threatening to spill any minute. "Then why bring another blonde bimbo in here, fuck her on MY fucking couch then make her leave? Oh and where is your recent Barbie doll?" I spat, pure venom in my words. Nico's hands tightened grip on the table. "Don't push me Dare" I matched his anger with my own. "Or what Di Angelo?" he loosened his hand on the table. "You really want to know why?" I nodded my head furiously at him. His eyes were broken and tears filling up in his onyx eyes. Then he got up and walk away leaving me sat there with tears in my eyes.
