A one-shot about our favorite 'son of Death', Nico di Angelo. Takes place after TC, but before BotL. Sort of in between. ^^ Enjoy! Wait, scratch that. Be depressed, yeah. That's kind of what I was going for – you know, to depress you. LOL.
I JUST NOW FOUND THE 'HORIZONTAL LINE' BUTTON FOR MICROSOFT WORD! I WAS TOTALLY WONDERING HOW THE HADES PEOPLE WERE DOING THAT IN THEIR STORIES! XD SO I'MA USE IT! LOL.
Okay, now I'm done. Please R&R!

Loneliness is a feeling familiar to the son of Death.
Need and Want also follow him like a predator follows prey.
They haunt him; they echo through his Dreams. No, not Dreams. Nightmares.
Nightmares come to the young demigod often. They are the inevitable; he dreads them. They make his knees knock and his heart leap.
He doesn't get many Dreams – good Dreams – but sometimes, once in a blue moon, Morpheus blesses him with Dreams. They are the only reason he goes to sleep – with the hope that the inevitable Nightmares will not come. Oh, how he loves the Dreams. They soothe his heart, they steady his legs. They give him the gumption to keep living, breathing. They help him to forget the Pain and Sorrow of Loneliness, of Need, of Want.
The only thing – the only thing – that does not leave with the rest of these dreadful feelings is Guilt. Guilt for the death of his sister, for the death of all innocent beings. He is the son of Death; he should be able to help. But he can't. All he can do is sit and watch with sadness.
Sadness. The son of Death could tell you that sadness is not abstract; it is a physical pain. It chokes and eats away at the inner core so that one is completely hollow. It burns one's eyes with tears unshed. Sadness is a feeling that is not unknown to the son of Death.
Pain = Loneliness, Need, Want, Guilt, Sadness. All are feelings that are in his nightmares. His life is a consistent Nightmare.
Well? Are you depressed? Don't say I didn't warn you. LOL. Please R&R and tell me if I succeeded in depressing you! ^ヮ
