The Son of Hades
Many people know the story of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. But have you ever wondered what happened to the other characters between "The Titans Curse" and "the Battle of the Labyrinth?" Well, this is the story of Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, beginning when Perseus "Percy" Jackson tells him that his sister, Bianca, is dead.
Chapter 1
"Hey, Nico!" I heard a voice calling my name. I turned to see Percy Jackson jogging towards me. My sense of hope rose as I saw him. He had come back safely from his quest, which meant that my sister, Bianca, was back too! I ran down the hill to meet him, but stopped when I saw the troubled look on his face. What was wrong? Then it hit me. Where was Bianca? Oh, gods please don't let my nightmares be true. Percy came up and said, "Uh, hey, what's up?"
He was tense, as if something was wrong. "Where's Bianca?" He lowered his gaze and I knew. I knew that Bianca had died. A great sadness came over me followed by a sea of black anger.
Without thinking, I exploded. "I knew it! I knew Bianca died. I had nightmares that she was in the Apostle Field, waiting for judgment! You lied to me, Percy Jackson, you promised to protect her! You let her die!" I open my mouth to say more, but was interrupted by a sound like crushed leaves. Out of the woods stepped 9 skeletal warriors. Percy drew his sword while facing me. A slow realization began to dawn to me. "You're trying to kill me," I whispered. I stepped back as the skeleton warriors advanced on me. "Stay away from me!" I said. Then all my anger began to bubble up and I screamed, "STAY AWAY!!" Suddenly the marble floor of the pavilion opened up and a jet of blue fire jumped up and devoured the skeletons. The crevice the closed and everything was quiet. Percy whispered, "What!?" I turned and ran. I ran into the forest and kept running until I couldn't any more. Then I leaned on the nearest tree and cried. I sobbed for Bianca. I sobbed for myself. And I sobbed for all the wrong and death in the world and for who my father was. After I couldn't cry any more, I slipped into a deep, fitful sleep, dreaming about Bianca, blue fire, and the shadows that reached out to grab me.
