Nico

Nico was hated school.

And yet there he was, stuck in some school full of snobby mortals because Persephone had thought it would be a good idea if he began to socialize with people.

This not including his cousins or demigods friends.

So as Nico walked through the corridors of his school he couldn't help but curse under his breath, all the eyes were on him.

He had attended the school for nearly a whole year! But still his presence seemed to shake the mortals up; Nico couldn't help but smile at that.

Nico had been constantly pestered by Chiron who was complaining Nico wasn't playing down his 'Demigod'

But Nico didn't care. He would wear what he wanted, act how he wanted and be who he wanted. No one could tell him what to do, no one could bully him. Except High school jock Marcus Finley.

So when Marcus pushed Nico to ground, Nico didn't do anything except get back up and act as though nothing had happened.

He wasn't going to give up that easily. He wasn't that stupid.

When Marcus and the entire school including a few nerds (Nico shamefully admitted) had called Nico- Nikki for the rest of the year, Nico didn't dare correct them by saying he was the son of Hades.

Oh what a sight that would have been.

But this week was different somehow, everyone had noticed it.

Nico Di Angelo was in a bad mood. Usually this didn't stop the mortals but they had backed off today, something was off.

Clearly 'mortals' didn't include Marcus Finley as he walked up to Nico who was cursing in some other language.

'Oi Nikki!' Marcus yelled from behind Nico, who turned around glaring slightly 'What you want?' he asked clearing telling Marcus to back off before something happened.

Marcus obviously didn't take the hint.

'Where's your sister?' Marcus smirked Nico stiffened 'What did you say?' in a low scary voice.

'Where's your sister, Nikki? You kill her?' Marcus asked again tauntingly. Nico was breathing heavily his eyes slightly glazed with anger.

'No' he said simply trying to control his emotions, the mortals could see through his facade, Nico Di Angelo was furious.

Marcus only grinned at this, taking advantage of Nico's silent fury.

'Where's is she then? Where's your mum Nikki? She dead too? You probably killed her as well; we all know you're a murder' The school silent, watching Nico with hawk eyes.

Nico was shaking, shaking in fury as he closed his eyes recalling all the images of his family who had been shattered by the Gods.

'What about your da-'

Marcus was cut short as Nico grabbed Marcus' neck and pinned him against the wall.

'How dare you?' Nico cried in a low menacing growl.

Mortals were backing away from the young demigod who seemed to emit and radiate a dark aura.

The shadows were all rushing their way to Nico. Wanting to reach out and help him. Unknowingly Nico had caused skeletons to crawl out before him, standing as an dead army.

Many females and men alike screamed; their fears replaying in their heads.

Marcus had instantly stopped grinning as he looked into dark pit like eyes which held all sorts of pain.

Nico was growling 'How dare you insult my family? How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know who I am?' Nico asked his voice hostile and cold.

Marcus shriveled under the glare, shaking his head weakly. Nico asked again, demanding Marcus to speak.

'No, please let me go' Marcus wailed. Nico's lips turned into something frightening, he gripped Marcus's neck tighter.

'I am Nico Di Angelo son of Hades. God of the Underworld and Riches, Ghost King and Hero of Olympus! I dare you to speak a word against me now' Nico said his voice completely frightening.

It had become so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. 'son of Hades?' a young foolish mortal with the name of Evangeline asked stuttering, afraid.

Nico nodded smirking. No one could believe it. If they knew Nico was Half-God and one of the Big Three's children nonetheless they would never have treated them this way!

'I didn't know I swear, I didn't' Marcus chocked. Nico turned to glare at him once more before bringing out his Stygian blade and trailing it from the boys stomach to his heart.

'I hope so, because next time I won't be so forgiving. son of Hades are never forgiving'

Nico said in such a deathly voice that it stuck a new species of fear into the hearts of our mortal students.

Nico quickly let go out his grip on the boy's neck and was satisfied to see Marcus begin to cough violently, a large red hand imprinted where Nico had tried to choke him.

Walking down the hallway towards his next class Nico twirled his sword whistling happily; quickly remembering to buy a happy meal after school and to thank Persephone.

Mortals were dropping to their feet bowing, apologizing and acting as if he had never been the emo kid they had picked on, The teachers also fearing and favoring the boy.

Maybe High school wasn't all that bad.
