Chapter 10

Author's Note:Okay! Its Nico's POV! YAY guys! I am going to write a new story during the month and it's about Leo and Piper!

"Look crazy adorable weird looking, crazy blonde haired brown eyes that should be in the mental hospital even though you are truly adorable witch, just because you can't sleep during the night that mean you can just take away my sister!" I said while looking at her on the eye. I can't really believe I just said adorable twice! There's nothing adorable with Kimki, except maybe her eyes that look so much like the trunk of a tree and her blonde hair flowing so gracefully whenever she moves. The way she talk and the way she raise her eyebrows is truly magnificent. Ughh.. what is wrong with me? This girl just kidnapped my sister and asked 'thugs' to kidnap me as well and she wants to take away everything I cherish and here I am thinking how adorable she is!

"You know Nico di Angelo I am really happy for being called adorable twice but I don't really like slow boys. Look Nico I'm not the enemy here. In fact everything is just a prank so I can alk to you Prince of Death. Oh yah Hei Ye is also part of all these. She gave me tips on how to scare you." What the heck? All these is just to prank me? I can't believe them! Even Hei e is part of this? If I see that old witch I'm going to destroy her house permanently. On the bright side she's not really going to get my sister right?

"So you won't hurt Mary anymore?" I asked.

"You're really slow Nico. The reason I want to meet you is not just to talk to you but also to battle. You are part of the second titan war am I right? Something is stirring and if you can't eat me, you have no right to live for the future." She said the last few words while glaring at me with fierce eyes.

"I accept your challenge" That was all I can say to her.

"Okay, the rules are simple; we can use any kind of weapon. Your goal is to get the ring on my fourth finger. I win if I get your ring." I looked at my fingers and saw the ring that I created from bones, and then I looked at Kimki's ring. Her ring is made of silver with names carved on its side. It would be hard to get the ring from her fingers unless I disarmed her.

Kimki motioned her servants to move Mary into a safer place. Once Mary was out of the way, a huge rack of weapons was place at the center of the room. Kimki choose a whip as her weapon while I choose a board sword.

I swing my sword towards her but she jumped away and dodges my attack. She attacks me with her whip. I thought she was going to hit my face but instead she hit my hand and I dropped my sword to the ground. She was going for another attack but I dodge it. I ran towards the weapon rack to get another weapon but she was way too fast for me. Soon she was already in front of me. I tried the most obvious attack; I raise skeletons from the ground and throw a bone at her. The bone hit her hand and she lost her grip on her whip. I manipulate the shadows and try to get her ring.

"Nico, Nico..have you forgotten? " Kimki asked while she was playing with the shadows that I used to try to get her ring. I am so stupid! How could I have forgotten than she's a daughter of Erebus? She controls the shadows! She can do anything with it and I tried using it against her? Stupid, stupid!

Since manipulating the shadows doesn't work then I just need to tackle her. I tackle her towards the ground. She tries to push me away but I was too big for her. I took the ring off her hand and get off her.

"I won." I said.

"I didn't expect you to attack me directly and more over you are too kind. I know thousands of demigods who would cut off my finger just to get the ring. You are truly different from the others. I appreciate that. You pass Nico. Of course that doesn't mean you are safe. There are others out there who doesn't believe in your power, who doesn't believe that you and your group of friends have enough strength to finish off this new threat. Your sister is far too weak. Train her well Nico or I will get her from you and train her myself. You might never see her again if she fails my training." I nodded.

"And about you calling me adorable a while ago…I already have a boyfriend. Speaking of my boyfriend, he's in Sri Lanka. You are to travel to Sri Lanka and defeat my boyfriend. Of course you don't have a choice, since I can control your every movement. "

Sri Lanka, huh?

"You will see your sister once you went to the first floor. Good luck Nico and tell my boyfriend I love him okay?" Kimki said with a smile on her face. She's probably thinking about her boyfriend again..

I saw Mary eating at the dining table of the first floor of Kimki's house. She was wearing a different set of clothes. Her brown hair is tied into two pigtails, just like Kimki's hairstyle and she was wearing a cute pink ruffle dress and boots. Her face is filled with make-up making her brown eyes more beautiful than ever.

"Hey Nico! Kimki said I could eat as much as I want. Come and eat Nico!" She said while smiling at me.

"I was so worried!" I said as I hug her.

"I was also afraid when Kimki's servants kidnapped me but afterwards she told me what is her real reason and I understand that she only wants to check on you and think if you are really he chosen one."

"The Chosen One? Kimki didn't told me about that."

"Well then, I'll explain. According to really old prophecy that even I have heard as well, 'a young teenager with black hair and brown eyes will save the world from being eaten by the darkness. The child who was born on darkness, even though he or she was once almost swallowed by it will be the light against the dark. ' My mother often told me stories of her life and she always repeat those words when she was telling stories for me to sleep."

Me? A part of a prophecy? I can't believe what I'm hearing. There are a lot of people with black hair and brown eyes in the world but I couldn't quite understand about the born in darkness part and I'm not ready to do something like balancing the world and have I ever been fallen to darkness?

"I don't think that the prophecy is speaking about me Mary. I mean you have black hair and brown eyes and a lot of people has those kind of features too." I said.

"Kimki told me that what my mother said is only part of the prophecy. I asked her the rest but she said we must find it out ourselves. We should go to Sri Lanka." I looked at the floor. I don't want to go to Sri Lanka. I have never been there and I don't know anyone from there. I'm afraid that something might happen to Mary and I don't want her to get hurt.

"Do you really want to go to Sri Lanka?" I asked Mary.

"Of course! I mean it's a one in a life time chance to go there! I also want to know more about the prophecy! I love mysteries, I like solving them!" She said with a smile on her face and with her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Well we will got to Sri Lanka in one condition."

"What's the condition?"

"I will train you how to fight and unless you can defend yourself on your own we will not go to Sri Lanka. You need to defend yourself. Imagine if it wasn't Kimki who asked to kidnap you, you would have died by now. "

"Fine..Where do we start?"

Author's Note: I know the fighting scene isn't that good but thank you for reading!
