Chapter 4
Leyna
"Leyna?" Nico Di'Angelo voice was calm and steady like usual.
"Oh hi, sorry if I interrupted anything." I mumbled under my breath.
"Oh no your fine. What's wrong Ley?" He took three fingers and lifted my chin up so I looked him in the eyes.
"Nothing. Everythin's peachy." I could feel tears in my eyes for Hades knows why!
"Leyna." He had a sympathetic look in his eyes as he let go of my chin. I rested my head against his chest and just silently sobbed. Nico began rubbing small circles in my back as he pulled me into a hug. Not one of those weak hugs you give to old people but a hug that made me feel protected.
"It's alright Leyna." Nico kept repeating in my ear. I just shook my head as the tears streamed down my face.
"Why can't I just get a normal life? Why did Poseidon send me off and not Percy? Hmm? Why did I have to go and never know I had a mom, like a real mom." I could only manage one word at a time. The tears didn't stop streaming as my vision blurred with tears.
"I don't know but it's okay Leyna. You have family here." Nico's voice was reassuring. He kept stroking my wild hair and rubbing the small of my back as I tried to stop the tears. I finally controlled my sobs for just enough time to look him in the eyes.
"Nico. I really wanna tell ya-" I was interrupted by Nico pressing his lips against mine. His mouth tasted like cinnamon and mint, but his lips were very soft. I was appalled by his motion but I finally leaned into it, deepening it quite a lot. We sat their kissing for a few minutes until he broke it. He did look really handsome with the moon light reflecting off of the waves. The next few minutes I just sat there in his arms, peacefully watching the water. Then we just laid in the sand watching the stars and constellations moving above us.
"Zoë the huntress." Nico pointed to a constellation. It did look as if the star was shooting an arrow.
"She was such a good person, but now she is living in the stars." I gave Nico a look and he explained about Zoë's life and all about the quest that would be her final days. We must have stayed under the stars for hours, but soon I drifted into a deep sleep, surrounded by Nico's arms.
