Liberty's Lullaby:

Chapter Seven

My head felt like it was splitting in two.

I couldn't breathe.

I was frozen in my spot.

Did that really just happen?

Realizing I'd look like a complete idiot just standing there, I hesitantly left the cabin and went towards the big house.

I looked up from my shoes and saw Nico, Annabeth, Chiron, the Athena cabin, Percy, and A young boy who must be Xavier.

I approached them slowly and didn't dare look at Nico.

After giving little hugs to everybody there, I finally spoke.

"When are we leaving?" I said, genuinely in Annabeths direction.

"Now." Nico said for her, and I looked at him, instantly regretting it.

He caught my gaze, and my heart stopped when his chocolate orbs locked onto my eyes.

I tore my gaze away from him.

"Okay." I breathed.

The athena cabin smiled at me.

Percy grabbed my elbow.

"Hey. Good luck.. This my be your first of many.. But don't worry. You have Nico" He smiled at me.

"I don't need to be protected." I mumbled.

The athena cabin, Annabeth, and Percy beamed happily at me.

I looked to Xavier.

"You ready buddy?" I said, getting my first good luck at his pale skin, light blue eyes, and blonde hair.

He nodded his head shyly.

I smiled and placed a arm around his shoulders, then ruffled his hair.

I hugged Annabeth one last time.

"Be careful! Don't die on me yet!" She demanded, and i grinned.

"Don't worry, I don't have a death wish." I told her, and she smiled and waved us off.

Me and Xavier followed closely behind Nico, as he walked off towards the hill.

He stopped in front of the infirmary.

Nico turned around and looked at Xavier.

"hey,kid, can you get some extra ambrosia and nectar?" He asked, and Xavier nodded and ran in.

Nico turned to me.

"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to-" He stopped when I started smiling and shaking my head gently.

"What?" He asked

I smiled at him.

"Its fine, Nico, You don't have to apologize." I said.

He smiled at me.

I tensed up when he moved to put an arm around my waist.

A warm feeling spread through me and I relaxed a bit.

Xavier came out with a few canteens and baggies of ambrosia.

He stumbled over and gave it to Nico, who turned and put them in my bag.

I smiled at him and walked up over the hill.

A million questions were racing through my head, making the world spin and my sigh blur.

Stress.

I had no clue what was going to become of us.

I pushed away that thought and closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"You alright?" Nico whispered, his mouth close to my ear.

I shook my head slightly.

"I'm scared to death" I mumbled.

His grip on me tightened a bit.

"We'll be okay." He said softly.

I turned around to look at Xavier as we reached the camp van.

He smiled at me, like he was scared too, and climbed in the front seat, and Nico and I sat in the back.

'Oh no' Brain said.

'Hehehehe!' heart said.

I bit my lip and laid my bag on the floor.

I crossed my legs and took out one of my favorite novels.

I wasn't dyslexic, like most demigods.

"What are you reading?" Nico asked, peering over my shoulder.

"Greek myths." I turned my head, and caught my breath when he was an inch from my face.

He smirked.

I blushed red, and he smiled, and pressed his lips softly to mine.

At first I didn't move. Just sat there like a plank of wood, then I slowly gathered my wits and kissed him back gently.

He pulled away and picked up his bag, while I went back to my book and began to read about 'the child of Artemis.'

I looked to my side when there was a gentle sound of ripping paper.

Nico was eating chocolate.

I felt a pang of jealousy. I love chocolate.

He laughed at my expression and put the chocolate in front of my mouth, and I happily bit off a piece.

"Where is argus dropping us off?" I whispered to him.

"Olympus."

(A/N Woah! Why are they going to Olympus!? Well, beca- wait, im not telling you! Haha, you'll have to wait! Hope you liked the chapter, Nico is revealing his personality as a world class sweetheart! Awwhh, MWY BWABY! Bye!)
