Chapter 6 - Disappearances and Magical Radios
~Nico's POV~
We walked after that last comment, in silence. Both, Percy and Michaela have gone silent. Sometimes I love silence, but this silence is different. 'Why?' you may ask, because it was broken by music.
We all stopped, but Percy and Michaela were tensed.
'Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house'
"What's going on?" Piper asked. We looked around wildly, while the children of the sea were tensed and still.
'So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear'
Michaela reached out and grasped Percy's hand, gripping it in a death grip. I'm pretty sure they both went pale.
'The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes'
"House." Michaela murmured. "Everyone, you need to keep moving. Keep going forward. Don't look back and don't stop." She warned.
'And some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore'
"What about you?" Piper asked. She didn't get a response, as Percy went left and Michaela went right. Leaving us there all alone.
'Hey!
Hey!
Hey!'
The music got louder and more clear.
'There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.'
It's getting closer. It's a song about their childhood... I thought. I looked over to Annabeth, and she looked like she came to the same conclusion as I did.
'Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!'
We started running.
'Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same'
Screams were heard in the same direction Percy and Michaela went.
"Shouldn't we go and help them?" "There's no time, Leo."
'Hey!'
I saw a big house with a glass wall coming into view. I started running faster, while the music slowed.
'Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Hey!'
We were 100 feet away from the house, when I heard something following us.
'You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon'
It's right behind us. I didn't look back, and neither did anyone else.
'Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!'
We ran though the front door, which we closed and locked.
'Don't listen to a word I say'
The music was coming from down the hall.
'Hey!
The screams all sound the same'
I started running down the hall, with everyone following. I come to what looked like a living room, and there was nobody there.
'Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore'
The music was coming from a radio on a little table to my right.
'Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore'
"It's a magical radio."
We all jumped and turned. Standing there was Michaela.
"What do you mean 'magical radio'? Leo asked, looking at it in amazement and wonder... and he's drooling.
Michaela laughed. "You were thinking of the song, all of you. It plays when many people or someone thinks hard enough of the music. That's how it works."
She looked around the group, before sighing. "I guess we should explain. Come and take a sit."
Song was Little Talks By Of Monsters and Men.
