Chapter 2

"NICO... WHERE ARE YOU?"

Nico held his breath as he dragged his self along the ground to where his book was. His ribs felt as though they were on fire but he didn't want Percy to discover his injuries. He pulled the book open just as Percy came into vision. He still had that goofy smile.

"Hi Neeks, How's the peace" said Percy with a chuckle.

Nico smiled up as Percy sat down next to him "Peaceful until you came up here shouting"

Percy sighed happily and looked over Nico's shoulder as he was reading.

All Nico was really trying to do was distract himself from his ribs when suddenly he went into a coughing fit into his book. Percy Rubbed Nico on the back while he coughed but was shocked when he looked back down on the book. There was blood.

"Shit Nico!" shouted Percy.

Percy kneeled in front of Nico and started checking him over to try find out why he coughed blood. He started to poke and prod Nico but when he got to Nico's chest the smaller boy let out a small cry of pain.

"Nico, what happened" said Percy and he started pulling up the younger boys t-shirt. Nico tried to protest but failed due to the pain his chest was in. He felt himself struggling to breathe. Percy lifted his t-shirt and let out a gasp. Nico's ribs were all bruising and one looked very out of place. Percy was only able to notice that it was so out of place because Nico barely ate anything sometimes.

"Nico, look at me, tell me what happened" said Percy but this time he sounded more urgent.

Nico looked up at Percy's sea green eyes and saw them filled with worry but he couldn't find the strength to reply. The darkness was calling to him and it sounded nice to just sleep.

Percy started to panic and Nico's head lolled to the side as he passed out. Percy saw bruises around Nico's neck but he didn't have time to worry about them. He couldn't lose Nico. He was like a brother to him and his best friend. He loved seeing him laugh and smile and it made him feel really happy that he was the only one who could make that happen.

He picked Nico up bridal style being careful of his ribs and started to run. After a minute of running he arrived back at camp but Nico was looking even paler than usual and he had blood trickling from his mouth.

Percy looked at people to help and saw Chiron riding up to him.

"Percy, what happened" said Chiron worriedly.

"I don't know Chiron, I went to see him and he started coughing up blood and he passed out but he had a broken rib and bruises everywhere" said Percy who was close to having a panic attack.

Chiron quickly tried to calm the boy down.

"Percy you must stay calm. Nico will be ok. Now give him to me and I'll get him to the infirmary".

Percy reluctantly handed Nico to Chiron and he watched him ride off towards the infirmary. Percy didn't know what to do. He was worried for his cousin but he felt so angry towards what had done this. Percy started making his way over to the infirmary hoping Nico would be ok.
