Half-Blood Academy of Super Powers
Chapter One
Nico was stuck, lost in his memories that were clearly overwhelming him. The heart-warming times with Bianca, and the last moments he had with her replayed over and over again. He also had dreams of Percy, and all the anger and jealousy wasn't good for him. It just hurt him even more, loving someone who was meant for someone else. What's even worse was that they were even perfect for each other, and its hard to argue with that. Percy and Annabeth have been together through thick and thin, their bond was unbreakable now.
It was dark out, and Nico was sitting on an old park bench. He was drowning in his thoughts at his favorite spot, not only because he was a few feet away from a hotdog stand, but also because he was in the center of the city. Nico saw something moving in the corner of his eye, and paused. His breathing slowed, and slowly turned his head in the direction of the blur of darkness. Nico was very capable of seeing in the dark, so he was sure that if someone was there, he'd know by now. He soon heard laughing, the laugh was familiar, so familiar that it hurt him to not be sure of who it was. He soon heard a voice, her voice, Bianca's voice. A pain surged in his chest. What game was his mind playing?
"She isn't alive." Nico growled. "She'll never come back." The voice and the laughter stopped. Now that it was over, he realized how much he missed the sound of her.
"Bianca, was it? Your older sister, right?" Nico's mind stopped in his tracks. The voice was chilling, and unnerving. Nico was too distracted to notice that the figure slowly approached him.
The girl looked about his age with long butterscotch locks and the color of her eyes were hard to see in the darkness. But as she came closer, Nico saw the light green and flecks of brown in her eyes.
"What do you want?" Nico frowned, this girl had been bothering him. It wasn't the first time he saw her, its now the third. His favorite spot was now becoming his least. He still didn't know her name. He actually liked the company, she kept him distracted from his sorrowful memories and he was lonely most of the time.
"Nothing of course, I'm just bored as usual." The girl opened her mouth like she was about to say something else. Yet, she seemed unsure of what to say next. She paused, taking a deep breath. After a quick glance at a gold watch on her wrist, she smiled. The watch was new, something Nico didn't see the first two times he talked to her.
"Well, look at the time." The girl's eyes started to change color, into a darker shade of green that matched her military jacket. She started to walk towards Nico, and she pulled out something from her green military jacket. It was shiny, and hard to see, it looked like a sliver of grey from where Nico was at. Nico didn't know what to do, the girl was walking towards him, he didn't know what to feel either. He wasn't sure if calling 911 was a good idea, maybe running was. The closer the girl got to him, the more her eyes got darker, and she looked scarier than he'd ever seen her. Not like he had seen her many times any way. The girl stopped a few feet away from him.
"If you come any closer, I'll fight back." He warned. Nico's eyebrows were furrowed, and wasn't sure if he just made any sense with his words.
"You wouldn't hurt a girl." She said, unsure. "Well, if its for self-defense I wouldn't see why not, but that's beyond the point." The girl was weird, Nico could admit that. Well, very weird. She pointed the sliver in his direction, and everything turned white. He started to panic, he could still feel the wooden bench, but he could only see one color. Nico started to blindly walk around, and he felt himself trip over something, and into something cold. He soon felt himself emerged in a cold liquid, and for some reason, it was like the energy was being drained out of him. Nico's breathing hitched, and everything faded into darkness.
