sorry for the delay. I was super busy and all. I know that there lame excuses but sometimes a month goes by fast. This is the second part to Nico being captured.

I do not own.

BREAKLINE!

Nico could faintly hear sounds of a fight. He heard yells, and the clanging of swords. He could smell the stench of sweat that had permeated the room. The vibrations that swept through him. He heard an unearthly shriek. Suddenly things went silent. The Earth that surrounded him began to retreat back to its mother. He slumped to the side. Two strong arms caught his before he could hit his head off the cavern floor. He could feel the blood leaking from his plethora of wounds, the sweat roll down his face from the fever, brought on by infection. Every breath he took hurt his broken and cracked ribs. The lacerations on his shoulders and back were in agony. He felt his body begin to convulse, heard his own labored breathing. Everything was fading away. In the distance he heard the sound of a voice yelling for help.

When next Nico awoke the first thing he was aware of was immeasurable pain. It ripped through his body without mercy. Even a simple movement such as swallowing the saliva in his mouth had him wishing he were dead. He felt the oxygen mask dig into the tender skin of his face. Felt the multiple needles imbedded in his skin. He vaguely heard a faint beeping sound. And rapid chatter in Italian, all he understood before drifting off again was the word comatose.

He felt his eyelids fluttering. When in Hades had they gotten so heavy? He heard a gasp and tried to twist his head in that direction, only for pain to shoot up his neck and down his spine.

" easy there Nico" he heard whispered in his ear.

" don't strain yourself." He recognized it as Percy's soothing tenor. He let out a long sigh before managing to open his mouth and ask.

" where am I ?" his voice sounded pitifully weak. It cracked in the middle of the word am. He watched as Percy took a deep breath.

"at a hospital in Italy." He stated flatly.

" the others don't know that you have woken up. You have been in a coma for about three days. We were supposed to leave two days ago but we stayed anyway. We-we're really worried about you Nico. You had almost every single rib broken and bruised. One of them pun-punctured your lu-lung. Your knee is shattered, you have a level four concussion, lost so much blood that hazel had to donate enough that it made her faint. You have thi-third degree burns all over your body, and int-internal blee-bleeding." Nico noticed tears streaming down Percy's face. Well now at least he knew that Percy remembered him.

Nico just sat there in shock. Well Hades, he wasn't going to be moving very soon, was he? He was even more surprised by Percy's stutters. He felt touched. But he knew that Percy and the others had to leave soon. As much as he appreciated the fact that they had stayed they had a world to save and he was what was keeping them here. He could feel himself slowly slipping back into the darkness. Before it consumed hi he gasped out.

" leave. You have a world to save kelp head." The last thing he saw was Percy's heartbroken face, the last thing he heard was Percy saying.

"I'll come back for you Nico, I swear on the river Styx that I will."

The last thought Nico had before becoming consumed was… Percy will come back, he always comes back.

Breakline!
