A/N okay so I've just had this weird idea stuck in my head for ever and I decided to finally write it down, or type it if you want to be specific, this story is just somewhat random because of Nico's memory loss we have no idea what happened in his past. So for the sake of my story line, let's just say Nico was dipped in the river Lethe ( I think that's the right river) and went to the lotus casino when he was 9 ½, k? Okay.
We will start are story off when he was eight, have fun!
James Christopher is an oc. This story has been edited slightly from the original, but not to much so previous readers shouldn't be too confused.
Disclaimer: I don't own any thing you recognize here, unfortunately.
Nico flopped back on the damp grass it was seven thirty in the morning and he was already tired out from fencing practice with his brother, "c'mon bro you can't be tired already, we've only been out here for forty-five minutes!" James exclaimed chuckling. Nico glared at him " I can actually, because unlike you I'm only eight and have been practicing for only a year whereas you are thirteen and have been practicing for a lot longer than I have" he said his tone testy.
"Calm down Nico I was only teasing, I'm tired too, actually, and I 'm going inside to see if breakfast is ready. You wanna come?"
Nico sighed but pulled himself up, "just when I got comfortable." he grumbled. James laughed slightly but didn't comment. He ran up the back steps to the door that opened to the laundry room, right next to a flight of steps descending to the basement in their new house.
Their family had moved to America a month ago, they lived in the country so the war didn't really bother them and none of their close neighbors had kids so they wouldn't really get a chance to make friends till school started. Nico and James ran inside the screen door letting it bang close behind them.
"Bianca?" Nico called. "I'm down here!" Bianca yelled her voice echoing up the stairs. Nico and James carefully maneuvered around the boxes making sure their training swords were safe in their scabbards, 'cause some boxes still needed to be unpacked and if they knocked any over the results would be disastrous.
Nico reached the steps first and raced down them opening the door at the bottom and going in, James hot on his heels. Ten year old Bianca had been practicing her throwing knives and when the boy's came in she grinned triumphantly at them "I broke my record!" she yelled proudly. "Twenty bulls eyes in a row!"
Both the boys stopped in their tracks for second then grins broke out of their faces "that's great sis' but I'm still twenty five ahead of you." James teased heading toward the rack where they kept their weapons. "Shut up." Bianca said sticking out her tongue. "Hey guy's look at this!" exclaimed Nico suddenly.
James and Bianca went over to where he was standing in the far corner; all three of them studied the strange object Nico had found. It was a hot pink, medium sized ball with a black and dark green ring around it, inside it had an arrow like compass thingy, but it didn't point north instead there were a bunch of words with numbers beside them. On the other side of the ball there were dozens of colors making shapes and dancing around making them hard to keep track of, it seemed to glow with an inner bright (neon) yellow light.
"What is it?" Bianca breathed, James just shook his head, his eyes staying fastened on the object, which Nico promptly decided to call iffy. "Kids time to eat" the three kids jumped in surprise as their mother called down the stairs. "Be there in a minute mom!" Bianca yelled back, Nico got up "I'm gonna put this on the shelf." he decided, heading for one of the many storage shelves that line the wall,
He set it down in a box and turned to his siblings. "Could you lift me up?" he asked James. James nodded and went over, lifting Nico onto his shoulders and Bianca went over to help keep Nico steady, as if by some unspoken agreement all three of them knew that they should keep iffy a secret for a while at least.
"ki-" the sound of his mom's voice startled Nico and his fingers slipped, the box fell barely missing James. Bianca opened her mouth to scream but then the ball hit the floor and suddenly she was clutching some ones hand hovering in the middle of nowhere, it felt as if she was stuck under mountains of blindingly colorful yet weightless cloth it was all around her.
She could feel her hand holding some one else's but she couldn't see whose, the situation was the same for the other two boy's except Nico still felt that he was on some ones shoulders, and James could feel both his siblings around him, even though it seemed like they had become invisible.
Suddenly their surroundings changed once more and they were standing on an side of a hill, surrounded by forest. James immediately slipped and soon Nico, James and Bianca were tumbling head over heels, barely avoiding running into trees, and getting whacked by branches, till they reach the bottom dizzy and bruised.
Bianca was the first to get up and urged the boys to hurry as well, they quickly recovered and the sounds of a battle registered in their minds. James started to army crawl up to the top of the ridge in front of them that was blocking their view. Bianca and Nico quickly followed. Their jaws dropped as they reached the top and took in the scene before them...
