Sorry about the long wait but I have been really busy lately and I'm trying my best. I am still going to continue this story until the end.

Nico and Hemera part 2

Hemera POV:

I opened my curtain like I did every morning. I wish that I could see the sun but like always I saw a dark, cold cave. I sighed and flew out of the cave before my father could see me. As I flew I thought about yesterday and how I asked Nico to meet me. What was I think?! I thought. I just met him but something about him was nice and I liked him. Its not like I could change what happened, well its time to go meet him.

I sat down on my rock and waited to see if he showed up. A few minutes later I heard a crash and saw a bird fly out of a tree. I walked toward the tree. I looked up and laughed. I saw Nico sitting on a branch in the tree and was trying to get a bird off him head. The branch cracked and he fell to my feet and the bird looked at him and squawked as if it was laughing. I laughed even harder as him pulled himself up.

"Ha ha very funny". He said and I pulled a leaf out of his hair.

"Are you ok?" I said as I giggled.

"Yeah I'm fine." He said. "Wait! Where is my sword? That sword can kill anything and everything even immortal stuff"! He looked up in the tree.

"Let me help you look." I said and I looked through the leaves.

A few minutes later I saw something shine in a bush.

"I found it!" I said and I grabbed the handle of the sword. Instantly I felt pain run from my fingertips and down my hand from where I was holding the sword. I dropped the sword and I yelled as I walked away from the sword. My head began to pound and Nico ran toward me.

"Hemera are you ok?!" He asked as he grabbed my hand to look at it. I couldn't reply. My head pounded and I began to feel dizzy. He called my name but I couldn't do anything. The last thing I remember is I blacked out.

I woke up to see Nico's arm around me. We were leaning against a rock and Nico's arm was preventing me from hitting my head.

"Thank the gods you are ok." He said and helped me up.

"I am a god remember." I stuttered. He gave me a glass of necter. As I reached for it I felt the pain in my hand. It was dull now but it still hurt.

"Gods I didn't see you hand. Let me look." He said as he gently took my hand. He ran him fingers lightly across the burns.

" You're the goddess of day so you touching a dark sword so that must have burned your hand." He pressed his fingers against mine and I tingle ran up my hand. The burns began to fade and the pain disappeared. He didn't take his hand away and I didn't either. We looked into each others eyes and I felt myself blush.

"H-how did you do that?" I stuttered. He made me nervous and no one ever made me nervous.

"Um, I can like um, c-control my p-power to heal people or gods." He stuttered and looked away.

"Am I making someone nervous." I said moving closer to him.

"Are you sure its not the other way around." He said and his voice dropped to a whisper. His arm wrapped around my shoulders.

"What do you think?" I whispered and it finally happened.

His lips hit mine causing me to gasp with the sudden force but I relaxed into the kiss. The kiss felt desperate and rough and I loved it. I pulled him closer to me as the kiss became more desperate. We pulled away gasping for air and we looked deep into each others eyes and I saw the sunset behind me.

Oh no!

"I have to go, but meet me here tomorrow?!" I said I flew into the air.

"Oh course sunshine." He said as I flew off.
