DARK, LIGHT, AND EVERYTHING NICO
NICO'S POV: CHAPTER 1
I'm Nico di Angelo, son of Maria di Angelo and Hades. Brother of Hazel Levesque and Bianca di Angelo. And right now, Leo Valdez's assistant in fixing the canoes that the younger demigods were able to destroy due to carelessness or simply being violent.
I sighed as I helped Leo upturn one of the ruined canoes and listened to him murmur ways to punish the kids when he finds them. I smiled inwardly. I finally feel that I belong. With Leo, I actually belong. He lets me help with his works around the camp and even with the pretense that I don't like him at all, he just continues to pull me along to his little assignments.
I looked up at the man who had been watching me for a few hours now—PERCY JACKSON. If I hadn't been ready for anything, I would have blushed big time due to his stares. I felt like I was too exposed—with me half-naked since my shirt has long been removed due to the sweat that soaked it and is still currently soaking my body. I wiped the sweat off my forehead with my forearm and stared back at him. What the heck is his problem? I could kick his ass for just existing.
It had been years since he first found Bianca and me in the school. And years has passed since he broke up with Annabeth though nobody knows why he really did that. Now, he's a man. He's, what, 25 or 26? He had become one of Camp Half Blood's best teachers with his sword-fighting classes.
"Percy!" I looked Jason who was running towards Percy. He whispered something to him and both men left but not before they sent me lingering looks which made me frown at them.
"You gonna work or not?" Leo asked me.
"Yeah, yeah." I mumbled as I started to do whatever orders he gave me.
Being a son of Hades has a lot of pros and cons. Pros: I can have my peace whenever I want, I can shadow travel and a lot more. Cons: I have a very quiet life. I sat quietly on my bed, not knowing what exactly I should do after a long day of work with Leo Valdez. Dinner is done and I should probably sleep but as usual, sleep fails to visit me.
I look out the window and see Will Solace outside, walking quickly, like the doctor that he was. His blond hair flipped in the wind and his blue eyes shone against the night. I smirked as I playfully summoned a skeleton in front of him that had him screaming like a girl in distress and looking at my window, almost catching me before I was able to duck and hide. A giggle rose up on my throat and came out as a full blown laugh.
