Percy and Annabeth just fell to Tartarus and everyone is devastated Nico especially. He had seen Tartarus, and knew of the horrors the couple, who he had come to consider family, would face. He was so devastated by the lose of his friends that he was having flash backs of when Bianca died.
He said, " We need to start going to Greece as soon as possible. Can we leave immediately, Leo?"
" Nico we can't just leave! Did you not realize Percy and Annabeth just feel into Tartarus?! We have to find them!" Yelled Jason.
" Of course I noticed Jason! Who do you think I consider family other then Hazel, of course! Percy and Annabeth mean the world to me! They took care of me! When I get hurt, and need a place to stay where do you think I go. No one welcomes me at camp except Percy and Annabeth, so I go to Percy's cabin during the summer and his apartment the rest of the year! I promised Percy I would lead you guts to the doors and that's what I'm going to do!" After Nico finished that statement he burst into tears and ran to the room he had been sleeping in. He slammed the door shut, and lied on his bed crying. Everyone forgets he's only thirteen, and that he like any other kid needs someone to look up to.
His tears were starting to dry when he heard a knock at the door. Assuming it was Hazel he said, "Come in."
"Hey Nico," he was surprised to here Jason say. " I'm sorry."
" Did Anyone tell you about Bianca?" the words came out of Nico's mouth before he could stop them.
Jason shook his head no, " who's Bianca?"
"Bianca was my sister, my full sister, after our mother died Bianca took care of me. She sacrificed her childhood to watch over me. When we found out we were demigods she left me to become a hunter. The hunters came with us to camp. Us being Thalia, Grover, Percy, and I. Artemis and Annabeth had both been kidnapped, and Bianca left me once again to go on the quest which Thalia, Grover, and Zoƫ. Percy wanted to save Annabeth and snuck out of camp on the quest also. I made him promise me he would protect Bianca. Bianca died on that quest. She was a hunter, but hunters can still die Jason. Thalia can still die just like Bianca did. Be grateful you have your sister because you might not always have her. I was lucky. I blamed Percy for her death for a year, but once I realized It was Bianca I was mad at for leaving me, not Percy for letting her, Percy took care of me and started acting as my older brother, but you have to remember no one is fully immortal except for the gods, and even they can fade. If Percy and Annabeth don't make it back. I'll be lost. Don't yell at me for not caring about Percy and Annabeth because they are my family now. Be grateful for the fact that you still have your sister and Piper and all those people who deeply care about you because they could be gone in an instant. My figurative big brother just proved that."
Jason looked at the younger boy's dark eyes, and realized that the poor boy had been through so much in so few years. "Thank you for sharing with me Nico, and once again I'm sorry for doubting you. Also we started on are way to Greece." And with that Jason left to Iris Message his sister.
He threw a drachma into the fountain and made a silent prayer to iris. "Thalia Grace," he said quietly.
" Oh," Thalia stated surprised, "Hi, Jason. Why are you calling?"
"Is the fact that your my big sister, and I miss you not reason enough?" Jason said with a half-smile on his face.
" Well, I suppose it is, but you look upset,"she said concerned for her little brother. " Did you guys find Death Breath?" She asked figuring that might be the reason for her brother's concern.
" Yeah, we found him. I was just talking to him actually," Jason responded calmly.
"What did you talk about?" Thalia questioned.
