Nico's Offer
I was walking in Central Park when I got an uncomfortable buzz in my ears.
Shit.
I ran through the park, trying to trace the buzzing. It was my closest friend.
Why him?
I ran to Percy, who had a long green gash on his torso. His eyes were squeezed tightly shut.
I found my emergency bottle of nectar only too slowly. I trickled the drink onto Percy's wound.
I ran to get some water. I finally got a half full bottle of it, thanks to irresponsible people. I ran back to Percy, who was now unconscious. The water knitted the slice back together. We shadow traveled back to camp.
Chiron hurriedly healed Percy. When I went into the infirmary, Percy was awake, leaning against the bed frame.
"Hey Perce, think about what I offered, kay?"
"Nic-"
"Just think."
I went back to the Underworld.
