Percy Pov: (Aw snap new Pov)

The cab is only centimeters away, and i'll be damned if I let him get away again, I can't let nico runaway not again. Especially this time for I fear if he goes this time he won't ever come back. Just as my hand is about to grab onto the cab, it's engines roar and it peels away leaving a cartoon like dust cloud in its wake. I fall face first onto the ground coughing as the dust goes through my lungs. He's gone again damnit he's gone again and I feel it in my bones that this time is different. I feel a soft warm hand rest itself upon my shoulder.

"don't worry Percy it may be a while but he'll come back he always does and besides he has to attend the tribunal of half bloods as the Hades representative in a month at New Rome anyway" Annabeth says calmly to try to calm me.

"No, he won't Annabeth I don't know why but this time feels different this wasn't him just running away to go run errands for Hades or to search for his mother or even to blow off steam, he put all his energy into those skeleton armies and drained himself just to get away using shadow travel. He truly wants to get away and from how he's been lately and from what we found in that cabin I don't want to know what's going through his head, because Annabeth" I let out an exasperated sigh " I-I-I think Nico might a-actually try and, and, and k-k-kill himself" I say my voice breaking as I do "you saw what we found in his cabin" I whispered "you saw".

Nico Pov:

I awoke from my sleep and quickly looked around the room where was I this doesn't look like my cabi- oh, oh yeah. The memories of what happened yesterday came flooding back, I let out a sigh well I guess welcome to my new life cause my old one is dead.

I slipped out of bed and walked barefoot through my chamber doors, as I walked I glanced at my watch HOLY SHIT, IT'S SUNDAY, I slept for THREE FUCKING DAYS, I groaned because I was still tired.

I walked down the hall towards the dining area a cold shock going through my feet as I stepped on the cold stone floor. I went and slumped down in my chair and placed a hand on my head holding it there for support. A dull ache rolled through my skull throbbing over and over again. I was just so drained of energy I must've really done a number on my self with all those skeletons.

I looked down at the plate in front of me it was one of my especially nice ones, it was china from the ming dynasty with a gold trim and little black roses wilting. As with the forts security system the plates were infused with camp Half Blood and New Rome charms and tech, pretty much everything is really, so I didn't need to go make myself any food. I thought up some eggs and picked at them a little but didn't really feel like eating I mean really what's the point why not just curl up into a ball and die it'd make things easier you wouldn't have to worry about him or how much he hates you, the little voice in my head is persistent and I am getting more and more enticed by his words they just are starting to sound so right like maybe I should. Then that other voice starts yelling at me to not kill myself I have so much to live for, I laugh at that voice all the time but strangely it doesn't sound like it use to. It use to sound like Bianca but now ironically enough it sounds like the one person who probably wants me dead the most for being such a freak, it sounds like Percy.

After begrudgingly eating a few mouthfulls of the egg I realized just how hungry all those skeletons and shadow traveling made me, I got up and trudged over to what was once the forts war room, and though still fully operational as such those friggin Hephaestus children insisted it have a built in sound system and TV plus all the bells and whistles which I don't get cause I'm still learning texting, damn age gap. When I flicked the power switch though the whole room came to life.

I had to sit down for it though because it started using up my energy to re animate the skeletons to guard the perimeter and march around the fort, the electronic part came next followed by an electronic voice stating " now reviewing missed calls and messages" and then like an explosion the iris messages flooded in from what i assume was people trying to find me. Damn they must want to kill me real bad, not that I blame them I have a faint memory of a man being found stabbed 56 times and missing all his fingers in Venice simply for being a freak like me. A frantically broke each appearing mist cloud with my hand yelling at the annoying voice control to initiate seclusion barrier level 19 clearance, I would have set it to level 20 clearance which accepts only a single iris message from a specific location by a certain person with a secret password, but my dad would kill me if I blocked his messages too so now only he and one other line can get through to me. It started to close out the bombarding messages when the voice came back "Master Di angelo an incoming message for you, clearence level 20 shall I patch it through?" I froze on the spot, I didn't think he would know about it I never told him how could he possibly kno- Oh shit, my locked box, I left it in the cabin it had all my razors and lighters and my "journal" (god why didn't I burn that damn journal) plus the password and location required to reach me but it was only to be used if it was of the most importance not to learn my location to beat the shit out of me for being a freak, oh my gods and it had the note. It had my suicide note, intended for him.

"Password override message transmitting" The mist started to form I was still frozen staring right into it my eyes start watering I am screaming at my body to look away quick you can't take this blow not from him you can't hear that voice tell you how much he hates you, I couldn't look away and soon I saw those perfect sea green eyes then the rest of that god like face formed around them I couldn't look away tears silently rolling down my face now and then I heard him he spoke softly and so delicately as though talking to a deer so as not to spook it, he spoke.

"Nico?"
