"Nico, you are making a mistake. Are you seriously contemplating murder? Because if you killed her, it would be murder , just let it go. It's over now. We are safe now." Will was almost in tears. The fear in his eyes was plain to see. Fear of her and fear for him if he decided to go through with his plan. But Nico couldn't let it go. He wanted revenge, he needed revenge. He was thirsty for revenge. Bloodthirsty. It wasn't over when Will had terrible nightmares from that place. It wasn't over when Will woke up screaming in pain and distreess almost every single night. It wasn't over when somedays Percy's wounds took the best of him and he couldn't move around without help. It wasn't over when Annabeth cried herself to sleep every single night. And it certaintly wasn't over when he, himself, didn't suffer with them. The people that had helped him so long ago to overcome his fears were now terribly affraid of something, of someone. Like they had done for him, he would help them. He would destroy the source of their fear. Yes, he would get his revenge. Yes, he would murder her.
Will was getting desperate. He was gripping Nico's shoulders so hard his knuckles had turned white. His voice was shaking and he was shivering violently from the shock of the shitty situation they were in. He could see the unforgiving flames of revenge burning in Nico's black eyes. The intent to hunt, to hurt, to murder. He could see the need for it, the thirst for it. It was that purpose that kept him sane after they went through those terrible, horrible months. And Will hated it. He hated that Nico couldn't find sanity in what they shared, in their friendship, in their relationship, in their love. He hated it, he hated it, he hated it.
His sole purpose for living right now was killing Arete Wearing. And yes, he hated her more than he had ever hated anyone. She was a horrible human being that deserved tartarus for what she did to all of them. Him, Annabeth, Percy, especially Percy. He had suffered the most and they still weren't sure if he was going to be okay. Only time will tell. Will also knew that Nico won't ever forgive himself for not being there. For not suffering with his friends but he couldn't let him pursue her. He was strong enough, yes, but she wasn't alone. And if Nico saw the person that was with her..it would break him in so many tiny little piecies not even Will would be able to pick them up again. Who knows what would happen to him. Will was desperate. He had to decide between letting Nico drown in guilt or letting him walk straight to his death. Emotional or physical or both. A painful, heartbreaking death that would only bring bitterness to his soul. He wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
Will took a deep breath, looking around him, frantically trying to come up with the right words to change Nico's mind. To placate him and make him feel better, to ease the guilt eating him up from the inside. He opened his mouth but for the first time in a long time he couldn't find the right words. 'Maybe you do blame Nico a little' a voice whispered in his head, propably the rotten part of his consience. 'No, it is not his fault'. And truly it wasn't Nico's fault, he couldn't have Known. Will shook his head in an attempt to clear his jumbled thoughts. He tried looking around again.
They were deep in the camp's forest. It was early morning and the only sound was the rustling of the leaves in the light breeze and their whispered conversation. Everything and everyone else was asleep. They were standing infront of an old oak tree that thankfully wasn't inhabited by a nymph. They could be huge gossipers when they weren't running from horny gods or satyrs.
"Nico, please" those were the only words that he was able to form that fateful morning of November.
In the end Nico made a decision that would change their lifes forever. For better or worse.. only time will tell.
"Will, sometimes the only choices you have are bad or worse. I can kill her and make her pay or I can live with the knowleghe that she is somewhere out there layghing at your suffering. I am sorry Will, but I intend to kill her. I am sorry but I will have my revenge"
His grip on Nico's shoulders loosened and his back fell against the oak tree. He raised his head towards the sky asking his father for help. A light breeze ruffled his blonde curls like a father would to his little boy to comfort him. He couldn't even smile as thanks to Apollo. Instead he closed his eyes, his shoulders slumping in defeat.
"Will, you should go to the infirmary, it's almost time for your treatment. I am leaving , I will be back in a couple of days. I need to do research" he felt cold lips press against his own warm ones. He kissed back. Nico tasted like pomegranate fruits and coffee and something else that he couldn't describe so entirely Nico that made will growl and kiss harder the lips attacking his own. He could feel Nico's smirk against his lips and...
And that was when the images came.
Images of a dark cave , that dark cave, Arete Wearing lying in the middle dead. The few light torches casting ominous shadows above her lifeless body. A very familiar black sword lying near her. Nico kneeled on the ground staring shell-shocked at that person, her merciless eyes glinting, her smile triumphant. That smile vanished quickly as a spear pierced her from behind. Will couldn't make out the face but he could make out the black wings and the dangerous aura. Thanatos. And as suddenly as the images came they stopped. Will opened his eyes wanting to warn Nico, to drag him to his cabin and lock him up there so nothing would ever happen to him. But Nico was already stepping into the shadows and becoming one with them. That's how the end begun for them.
Lucy was flying in pink fluffy clouds of happiness. It had been a week since she had gotten Nico Di Angelo's gate key and she couldn't be more grateful to Erza. A very smug Erza might she add. Natsu was pouting all week about it. It was very endearing and it made her so happy to know that she was liked among her new family. Also she had been able to write a few more chapters in the novel she was working on and it was turning out very well. Now, if only she had a cute boyfriend.
Since the day she got his key, she has summoned Nico only once more so as to go over the details of the contract and exchange some basic information and maybe get to Know it's other a little bit more. She asked him why she gets that euphoric feeling whenever she summons him. " Because when you summon me my magic merges with yours, giving you a temporary power boost. If I were to not merge my magic with yours, you would pass out, you are still too week for that. But don't worry, we will work on it. You still have a lot to learn." were his exact words.
Lucy was currently discussing Nico's explanation with Mira at the guild. They were trying to figure out how Nico planned to increase Lucy's magic power. Usually it happened with time but nothing was usual about Nico.
" He is so hot Lucy! Maybe you should try to win his heart! I ship it!" Mira squealed, her cheeks turning red in excitement.
'oh, God,no. Mira my friend just turned to Mira the Matchmaker. I need an escape plan.' thought Lucy.
At that moment Natsu sprung up from behind he, making her jump slightly. He put his right hand over her shoulders and brought his face so close, Lucy turned as red as a tomato. This guy had no understanding of personal space whatsoever.
"But Lucy he doesn't suit you at all. You are all bright and happy and sunshine and he is dark and gloomy and depressed. You need a happy, funny guy that can make you laugh because your laugh is brilliant. He would only bring you down. By the way I found the perfect quest for this month's rent money!hehe" Natsu said like he was discussing the weather and not the brilliant smile of his teammate. "Come on, let's go find Gray,Happy and Erza. Team Natsu is going in a quest!" he said while grabbing her hand and dragging her away.
Lucy was still a bit shocked after Natsu's sponanious speach about her smile. Only thinking about it made her automatically smile. Which automatically made her panick. She shot a panicked look towards Mira but she only winked at her and mouthed 'I ship it' while pointing at her and Natsu. Oh,God, now she was more panicked than ever.
Yes, I know I am a horrible human being for not updating for so long. I do have reasons though. Anyway I am really sorry for keeping you waiting. But you will be happy to know that I have worked out a schedule so hopefully I won't be this late again.
Thanks for reading and reviewing and following my story. And thanks for putting it on your favourites as well. It really means a lot to me.
Q/A :
MoonxSpiritxWolf : Thank you so much. I will try to make the future chapters a bit longer, but for now this is the lenght that I feel comfortable with. I am sorry if that dissapointed you.
Matt : I think that those four are enough for now. Because between PJO and FT there are too many characters so to avoid missing the point of the story I will not add the others. It would confuse me too much. Also sorry to keep you waiting.
ANG3LBL00M : thank you so much for your kind words and the pointers. I will go fix my stupid mistakes right now. I know the chapters are a bit short and I plan on making them longer in the future but rigth now this is the length I feel comfortable with. Sorry if that dissapointed you. And yeah we will learn what happend with Nico's family as we go.
QueenBiatchoftheHighestOrder : Thank you. I couldn't find a PJO-FT crossover either. That's why I decided to write one. I am happy that you seem to enjoy it.
If you spot any mistakes,please let me know. English is not my native language and Google translate is not that reliable what do you think of chapter 2 ? Is it bad? Is it good? Tell me your thoughts on the story. Have a nice weekend. :-*
