" So true."

We were still really close together. Just staring in each others eyes like those cheesy movies on T.V. Some one cleared their throat though, ruining our perfect moment. Sad day. But before I could see who it was I was doubled over on the ground, hands clutched to my head, for what I was seeing was horrible. Curse Apollo.

Nico stood looking over a cliffs edge, pain clearly showed on his face.

" Nico.." A girl's voice said.

" Why? Why didn't you tell me you were using me?" Nico growled.

"I wasn't! Hades knew my future! I decided to be your friend, I decided to give up part of my soul for you. But if you jump, it was for nothing. Everything for nothing, you jump and we both go to the underworld!"

"How would we both go?"

"You have the love part of my soul, that's what people survive on."

" You have your best friend, you'll survive."

The girl walked up and with brute force grabbed Nico's shoulder and whipped him around to face her. I saw from Nico's point of view, the girl was... What the FICK? Me? I had a scar like Luke's running down from my right eye to my jaw. My eyes were fierce scarlet, my face Impassive, and my hair flowing around in the breeze.

" NO! You don't get it! If you jump, I go dark, the lights gone. I'll lock myself up! I don't show weakness, I never have, never will. I'll go into the woods and never come out again, sit there with all the hidden razor blades in my jacket. I'll never make it to the underworld. NEVER."

" Yes you will. Everyone does. You know except immortals."

" I. AM. SER. IOUSS! What do you see in my eyes?"

" Fierceness." Nico mumbled fast.

"Look closer." I ordered, so he did and I knew exactly what he was seeing, every traumatizing experience. And every time I had NEVER shown weakness.

"Everything."

Then the three furies attacked. I spun around, sword out and fought. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nico fighting, he was fighting one and another one off. We were being backed into the cave from my dream. Shit. I fought fast and fierce. Then it got dark and quiet.

" Hello?" I called into the darkness of the cave. " Is anybody there?"

"ADONIA RUN!" Nico shouted.

" Why?" I asked, oh yes I'm just that smart.

" Because they want you not me! Now go!" Then Nico turned around and swung his black sword at three furies. " RUN!" he said once more.

I finally listened. I turned around and booked it. I ran farther up to the entrance of the cave, once I saw light I felt immediately relieved. Till I turned around, I saw one last fury attacking Nico, his sword was nowhere in sight either. Well crap. I grabbed the sharpest rock of the wall and chucked it at the monster, it poofed into a golden dust. Then Nico hit the ground.

"Nico!" I shouted, running to him.

When I finally got to him I saw he had three sickly looking cuts across his chest. Tears running down my face, I sat there wondering what to do.

"A-Adonia?" Nico stuttered.

"I'm right here."

He reached over and grabbed my hand, tight.

Then the gods showed up, I couldn't see them but I felt their presence.

" He's leaving now, Adonia." Poseidon said, laying a hand on my shoulder.

My eyes turned determined and fierce scarlet as I said, " No. No he's not."

" Adonia! Say something please!" Nico begged.

" I- I can't be your friend Nico." I stammered, thinking it was the best way to keep him safe.

"What do you mean?" He looked hurt. Badly hurt.

"For your own safety, please stay away from me. Good-bye." That was the last thing I said to him. I ran into the forest to be engulfed in the darkness, I felt like my heart had just been wretched out and stomped on.

"Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away" I sang, I don't know why but I did.

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus]

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Maybe, just Maybe I have broken away from the curse. No, No I did not. I know at least that much. I heard shrieks of terror in the distance. I collapsed, I had my jacket with me. I took out a razor blade and was about to cut myself but I got interrupted.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, young maiden?" A voice behind me asked.
