This chapter is for all of my loyal followers. (those who remain)

Enjoy.

Sincery, Alex Black, Son of Hades.

Nico

It has been a couple of days since the last time the Werewolf was seen. That was when Percy came home after fighting it. Something is going on between Annabeth and Percy, what I'm not sure. Ivy has returned to her tavern now that it's been rebuilt. Luke is trying to get Thalia to forgive him for pulling his fake death. I don't know why but I feel edgey around Luke.

I was about to head off to my job when Luke said he'd come with me. He still thinks the werewolf is still in the city. I know he's right. Alex Black has come over a few times. Something about him...I don't know. I don't trust him.

"Alright Nico, we need to talk," Luke says as we stop in front of the graveyard.

"About what?"

"Two things. Thalia and the werewolf,"

I raise an eyebrow, "What about Thalia? Why would you want to talk about the werewolf with me?"

"Thalia is main, I've know her longer then you have. Leave her alone,"

"What-"

"Don't talk yet," Something about Luke's voice changed, his eyes were no longer blue, they were gold, "I know you know who the werewolf is. Your magic let you learn who it is. Tell me and you won't die,"

I put a blank face on and draw my sword, "I won't tell you who the werewolf is. You can't make me tell you,"

"So it's one of your friends," Next thing I know he's in front of me, his sword in my gut. I drop my sword to the ground, "I'll kill all of your friends, expect Thalia and Annabeth, they're needed by my master. Good-bye Nico, the last Necromancer. Know that you are the first victum of the returning Obscurum," He then pulls his sword from my gut and begin walking back to the house. Obscurum? What is that? No time. I shadow travel home. Forget the humans if they learn i'm a sorcerer who cares. Something bigger is happening.

Thalia

It was my day off, and I was enjoying it. Luke was trying to rekindle our relationship, I think he might have already done it but...I think I have feelings for Nico now as well. Arg! I hate this, why does it have to be me?

Suddenly Nico rounds the corner into the living room, "Nico? What-?"

"No time! Tell me what happened the day Luke died!"

I got mad, for some reason he was holding his stomach, he must have run home, "Why?"

"Please Thalia, it's important!" Did he just say please?

I sigh, "Fine..."

Thalia-5 years ago

We were running, Luke had seen something and has had us running ever since.

Luke points ahead, "There! Quickly over the bridge!"

I didn't argue, the was a garriason bridge, we could close the gates and escape home free. Annabeth was in front being pulled by Grover, (Back then he's legs weren't hurt as they are now) I was ahead of Luke, he was the fastest of us all so I figured he'd want to be the one in back incase whatever it was caught him, he'd be able to escape. We were all now the bridge when I heard the gate slam shut. I stopped and turned around to see Luke holding his sword looking at me with a look asking for forgiveness.

"What are you doing? You could have done that on this side of the bridge!" I yell at him, Grover and Annabeth are frozen near the other end of the bridge in shock, Luke swore he'd never abandon us.

"The things chasing us will break the gates liek they're paper. I can hold them off. Thalia, swear to me that you will get Annabeht to safety, these things want her, and will kill the rest of you. I'm sorry Thalia, maybe in another life we can be together. Now please, go!" He was holding back tears and then ran toward the way we'd come to fight whatever it was, "Close the other gate as well!" he calls out, the last time I had heard his voice.

Present day

"We'd ran like we've never ran before, at some point we made it to this city and have stayed here ever since," I finished the story holding back tears.

Nico was silent for a moment, "Thalia, you need to know this, whatever Luke was holding back, did kill him. Please wait, it then brought him back to hunt you and Annabeth. I should've known, that's what the spirits were trying to tell me," Nico fell to his knees. I then noticed the blood covering his stomach.

"Nico!" I rush forward.

"Listen, Luke did this, he's going to kill all of our friends to find the werewolf. I've known who it is. You have to protect them!" He then whispered our friend who was cursed and how it had two souls fighting to control the body, "Get everyone out...Good-bye...Thalia..." Nico then fell over into my arms. I could find no pulse. I cried. I don't know for how long but I went to find our friends and dragged them all to Ivy's Tavern, making her force everyone but us to leave. I finally understand a bit of the Prophecy.

Beast of unnatural orgins, Shall bring the Lost one

Fire and Silver shall end it's days, though hidden emotions the curse shall break

The Traitor's blade shall end the Son of death, Destroy old friends to finish what must be done

To save the magic, Death must be released

Once I had everyone gathered I made sure they were all listening, "Alright, Rachel the prophecy is coming closer to an end, a few lines have come true,"

Ivy speaks up, "Shouldn't we wait for Nico?"

I take a deep breath and try not to cry, "No,"

Grover asks, "What's wrong?"

I yell at everyone, "If you'd all stop interurpting you'd find out!" Everyone was silent and had scared looks on their faces, expect for my brother Jason, he had a blank look on his face, and Percy, he looked confused.

"Nico is dead, Luke killed him. These are the lines that make sense to me now. The werewolf, because it has it's own soul, is the Beast of unnatural orgins, duh, the Lost one was Luke, Luke's sword is the Traitor's Blade and Nico was the son of death. Before you ask if how I know this, Nico told me, he know who the werewolf is. He also told me that the werewolf is trying to take over the body with it's own soul," (If this is confusing let me know please) I take a deep breathe, "Nico also told me that whatever was chasing me, Grover and Annabeth is still out there, Nico said that Luke called it Obscurum, whatever that is,"

Jason looks startled, "Obscurum? That means Darkness in Latin,"

I pale, "Oh-no, Everyone knows the storys of an ancient Darkness in the ancient past that Sorcerer's banished?" Everyone slowly nods, "Nico said Luke said, you are the first victum of the returning Darkness,"

Jason grites his teeth, "So the ancient darkness is back, But why does it want the werewofl dead?" I shake my head.

"I don't know,"

Leo raises his hand, "What I want to know is why one of our friends is attacking us,"

I roll my eyes, luckly Ivy answers for me, "Weren't you listening? Two different souls, one body,"

Leo thinks for a moment, "Wait a second, when the thing attacked us, it seemed like it wanted to attack us, but not kill us, so whoever is the werewolf is fighting it. Now that ot's gone maybe they can control it!"

Frank, Katie, Grover and Juniper shake their heads, Frank says, "I doubt it, if anything his soul is holding the beast back for now, but not for much longer I'd say," I threw a quick glance at our friend who's the werewolf without anyone seeing.

Suddenly a harsh cold voice echoes around the room as everyone grabs their weapons and stands, "So this is where you all hide, too bad I have all of my helpers to kill you all, expect for Thalia and Annabeth that is," Luke was standing there, with a sword of all the metals, like my shield with a horde of people and...things, they were pure black and had no features. Suddenly the front wall was ripped form place by a giant black creature, most likely the minions of the Darkness.

"Night's almost here, the werewolf will show it self with the full moon, and then we will kill all of you. Take the two women to our master and then the world will be ours," Luke sneers.

I shout, "CHARGE!" Everyone charges, Frank shots his arrows with Juniper, Katie and Ivy, Grover plays on his reed pipes using his magic, Hazel, Travis and Connor are keeping the monsters form our archers. Jason and Piper are fighting side by side, Percy somehow got next to Luke and is fighting him, Rachel is holding a sword and helping protect the archers, she is gifted with the sword. Leo is shooting fireballs and swinging a celestral bronze ball-peen hammer wiht an imperial gold one, Annabeth is fighting near the archers stopping the monsters and people from attacking the archers in the back. I charge the Giant noticing that Percy is making it rain harder, but it's not affecting us, so I call lightning to blast the giant as I stab him in the knee. He falls apart into shadows. I then attack the rest of the monsters and people.

After what seems like hours but isn't I realize that Luke is right, the full moon is rising and our friend won't be able to hold the beast back much longer, I can already see that he's tired.

Luke kicks Percy in the chest sending him flying into the counter in Ivy's Tavern. He then yells and more monsters appear. After trying to fight them off we fail.

All of us are tired up in ropes, Annabeth and myself are tired off together while everyone else are tired together. Percy is not moving, Jason has blood covering his face, Piper is cut up, Hazel is unconcious, Frank and all of my other friends are also unconcious as well.

"Well you tried your best, but you were meant to fail. Archers, prepare to fire!"

A group of the shadows move in front of my friends and aim. That's when all hell broke lose. My friend who was the werewolf had began to transform, he was ingulfed in a silvery light and was floating in the air, the ropes snapped and fell to the ground, when the light faded, the Werewolf landed stood straight up so that it was taller then all of us. It looked around and then saw Luke. He began to growl and then leapt at Luke tackling him. Luke shouted something and the werewolf went flying and landed a little ways away. It stood up and roared at Luke.

"I should have know that the werewolf was you..." Luke began to say, "...Percy"

I bet a lot of you know that Percy was the werewolf.

I was tempted to not tell you until the next chapter but, after my slight writers block I thought I owned you.

Reasons why I took so long to get back to the story: Made Reyna mad, had it hide in a safe house that turned into a sort of prison, had a slight writers block, and I had some work to finish.

QotC: (Opion Question): Do you think Nico is really dead?
