Later that day, I had packed everything, ready for me to go to 'Hogmorts? Was that it? Well, I guess I'll find out later' I thought. I stayed in my bedroom and decided, that as it was my last day at Camp, for a very long time, that I would actually go to the Dinner in the Pavilion( CHECK THIS KRITHIKA). I was greeted by Percy, with the rest of the seven sitting down and eating. When Hazel saw me, she called me over to sit down. I thought through what I was about to do, and reluctantly sat. "Nico, Hazel told us you'd be gone for a long time - where are you going?" Jason said, inbetween mouthfuls of food.
"Oh, well, I- I can't really tell, I think Hec - I was told to not tell anyone." I said, almost slipping up that Hecate had talked to me. " Oh. Do you know how long you'll be?" Jason said.
"I don't know. I think the maximum I'll be gone is th- three ye-" Almost everyone on the table spat out what they were eating.
" THREE years?!" Annabeth shouted. " Yeah. What's wrong?" I said.
"No. Are you sure its not Three Months?" I nodded my Head. " Bu-But you will be able to visit right?" I heard Hazel say. " I honestly don't know Hazel, but If not we can Iris Message Okay?."
"Okay." She replied. For the rest of the meal, I was too engaged in my own thoughts to listen to what the others were saying. I noticed that everyone was getting up, and snapped out of my daydreams. I got up, put everything away and headed towards my cabin. On the way there, I felt something on my shoulder, and turned around to see Will staring at me. "Nico! What do you think you're doing? I mean, Where do you think you're going?" He said.
"To my cabin? Where else would I be going?" I snapped back.
"Ughh. No. I mean where are you going to be? Wherever you are going to be for 3 years?" Will said, annoyed.
"I can't tell you! I thought you knew that!" I shouted.
"I do, but, I ... You ... didn't tell me in person. I thought you'd at least do that."
"I didn't tell anyone in person apart from Hazel. I asked her to tell everyone. And for your information, I told Hazel to tell you. Especially you." What did I just say? Oh Gods! What's he going to think of me now?
"Y-You did?" He asked, mumbling, I nodded silently. "Wow. That's so, so sweet."
"Sweet? You think so?" I replied, shocked. "Yes." He replied, trailing his word off into silence. "Well, um, I have to go, You know. Quest." I laughed awkwardly.
"Yeah, of course. By the way, you will visit won't you?"
"I don't know. But If I can, I will. I promise." I said sincerely.
"You've got to go now right?" I nodded. "Then, Farewell Sunshine." He said smirking and with a quiet chuckle. "Don't. Call. Me. Sunshine. And Farewell to you too -" I paused as I thought of a nickname. I couldn't think of one. "Farewell to you too." I ended the conversation there and went back on my way to my Cabin. For the last hour or two before the nightmares consumed me, I packed my bags for a very long trip and made sure I would be completely ready to go at any time the next day.
I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS IS SO LATE.
I've had loads of homework and it's stressful so I'll try to update as much as I can, but I don't think that'll be too often.
But I do hope that you enjoy this and I PROMISE I'll try to update sooner next time.
Thanks for reading and please tell me what you think!
