Nico didn't know what to do. He was lost. He sat down and tried to calm his breathing as tears welled in his eyes. He looked over and saw the body.
The body of his cousin, his brother in everything but blood, Perseus Jackson. He was dead, in a pool of his own blood. There was a knife in his chest and he stared up to the stars, glassy eyes transfixed on the constellation of Zoe Nightshade.
Nico sobbed and crawled over to the body, kneeling over it. He couldn't lose another one, not like Bianca. He shook Percy's limp body, trying to get him back. He would do anything to see the mirth and happiness in his sea green eyes again. But it was no use, he was gone.
'Not dead, just asleep.' Nico thought, closing Percy's eyes gently as tears fell onto Percy's shirt, dampening it. Nico ripped the knife out of Percy's chest, throwing it at a tree. The blood ran freely from the wound and Nico leaned down, hugging him as the blood stained his pale skin and the orange CHB shirt Percy had made him wear.
'It was just supposed to be an innocent walk through the woods... godsdamnit you fucking Seaweed Brain. This isn't fair.' Nico thought angrily, hugging his dead cousin. He pulled away and gently setting him against a tree.
He stood up and took one last glance at Percy before shadow travelling away, even though he was lost.
Lost without Percy.
Lost without his big brother.
