Bloody Nico

by privacy queen

Nico thought she was dead... but then his whole life turns upside down. A prisoner who isn't dead. He's been told to take care of her... on pain of death. But how does Bianca fit into all this? Argh, and what is the pounding in his head?

1. Introduction

(Intro)

Ok, for a few minutes (and by that I mean like this whole story and possibly the next) let's pretend that page 292 of "House of Hades" never happened. In fact, let's just pretend that Nico didn't even travel with the Seven. It's not like that matters, since this story happens before the war with Kronos, before we learned about the Roman camp, and before Percy went missing. Nico is still a lonely, miserable little boy in this story. With no friends, no crushes, (Annabeth or otherwise) and no hope. He's living with his father, Hades, in the Underworld, with his stepmother, Persephone. As you can tell, he's not too happy about that. And the day we start the story, he has just found out that Bianca chose to be reborn, presumably trying for three rebirths and three selections for Elysium, so that she could earn entry into the Isles of the Blest. And someone authorized Bianca to leave. Nico is trying to find out who, in this first chapter.
