Annabeth PoV

His words rang off the walls but nobody said anything. We just stared at him in shock. Nico was in trouble. I stole a glance at Thalia. Her face was pale and her eyes filled with worry.

"Nico's in trouble?" she stammered. I never saw this side of Thalia. Usually I saw the tough and rough side of her but now she looks on the verge of crying.

"Well we have to go now!" I said confidently and stood up. They stood up with me and we raced out the door. "Did he say anything else?" I asked Percy as I whistled for a cab. Luckily there was one passing just then. We all scrambled in wild-eyed. Percy told the driver the address and soon enough we were off. Even if I didn't know Nico as much as I did with Percy and Thalia, he was still my friend and I still cared for him. He didn't make fun of me either when I came to school on my first day. He even fought with us in the cafeteria.

"No, he just said he was in trouble and needed help." Percy shrugged. I sighed and played with my hands. Suddenly the car jerked to a stop and we all crawled out. Percy hurriedly paid the driver and we ran up to his house.

The door was unlocked, so I could easily open it. I held my breath and walked it. I didn't know what I was expecting, but I didn't expect Nico to be sitting on a pale white couch cradling a girl in his arms. We all stared at her and then back at him. Thalia had a jealous look in her eyes.

I looked closer and realized the girl had dark hair and the same eyes as Nico. Their skins were different; the girl's was tanner. I knew she couldn't be his girlfriend- the way Nico held her was different. It was more of a protective way. I realized how bad of a state the girl was. Her breathing was slow and there was blood trickling down her forehead.

"Nico?" Percy said obviously flabbergasted.

"Is that your sister?" I asked. Nico looked up. His eyes were bloodshot and watery. He managed a small nod and pulled her closer to him like we would hurt her.

"Bianca." He whispered and his eyes trailed along her unconscious figure. Thalia looked at him with sympathy and no longer with jealousy. Percy rushed over and put a hand on Nico's shoulder- trying to console him.

"Nico we need to get her to the hospital." He said softly. Nico looked up at him and stood up- bringing Bianca with him. He picked her up bridal style and held her close to his chest. He didn't say how she got like this, but I figured he just didn't want to talk about it. I felt that way a lot, so I could relate. Nobody asked him anything; we all knew he would when he could.

Unfortunately, no cabs came this time to help us. Instead, Nico pointed off to a truck in his driveway like he didn't have the strength to speak. I didn't have my driver's license, and I didn't think Percy did. I knew Nico wouldn't want too drive, and Thalia would want to stay with Nico. I had an idea on how to drive, and I was smart so I should be able to figure it out. Especially when I was desperate.

I pulled myself into the driver's spot and found the keys right in the seat. Percy sat in the shotgun seat while Nico, Bianca and Thalia sat in the back.

I forced myself not to panic. Nobody could afford that right now. Luckily I actually knew where the hospital was. I always kept a map of it in my bedroom in case I ever had to get there quickly for my mom. I didn't want her to die like my dad. I wanted to be able to save her. Even if she wasn't much of use to me right now she was still family. Even if she burned all my good chances of relating to my dad.

I drove quickly down the streets to where the hospital was. I could see Thalia holding Nico's hand comfortingly from in the mirror. Usually I would have teased her, but right now wasn't the time. She was trying to make him feel better anyway and I could understand that. Sometimes people just need to be comforted. Nobody said anything and I could only hear the rasp breathing of Bianca, which encouraged me to drive faster.

We got their do to my "accidental" speeding. (Not really accidental, but somebody was on the verge of dying so it's not my fault!) We all ran out of the car and helped Nico with Bianca so we could get there faster. We burst through the doors and rushed to the desk. The women there took one look and then called for a doctor. Nico and Bianca got rushed to an emergency room while Percy, Thalia and me were forced to wait. I couldn't help but think of the time I last went to a hospital…when my dad had died. They had forced us to wait outside too. Does that mean Bianca would die? No, I can't think like that. I don't care if I don't know her she deserves to live. She's young, and can have a whole life in front of her. She deserved to life that life even if it was good or bad. My dad was old and he already lived his life. He was done. Sometimes I think he knew it too.

Percy called his mom to tell her to come as fast as she could- and that he was at the hospital and what happened to Nico. He offered the phone to me- to call my parents but I just shook my head. I didn't explain why, and he didn't ask. He just sat back down and stared at the hallway where they lead Nico and Bianca away. Right now wasn't the time to talk.

This hospital looked almost exactly the same as the one back in California. It couldn't be a coincidence; it must have been my haunting memories coming back again. The same exact pale blue walls and little benches lined against the walls. I scooted over closer to Percy for comfort and put my head on his shoulder while wrapping one of my arms around him. He didn't say anything; he just pulled me closer and put one of his arms around my waist while holding my other hand with his other hand. Thalia didn't say anything, like she understood. She didn't even smirk- which wasn't really like her. I guess none of us were like ourselves right now. Just like I never said anything to her when she was with Nico.

Percy's mom came just a few minutes after that with Mr. Blofis trailing behind her. What was a schoolteacher doing here? I didn't let go of Percy I just snuggled in closer. His mom raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. She sat down next to Thalia while Mr. Blofis sat down next to her.

"Hi dad, hey mom." Percy nodded to them. Mr. Blofis was Percy's dad? Then how was Percy's dad lost at sea? Unless that was his step-dad because they didn't look anything alike. I settled in with that idea and let out a sigh. Percy wouldn't lie to me.

We must have been sitting there for about an hour when Nico came out. His expression told me something really bad happened. His eyes were watery like he'd been crying and were red. None of us made fun of him.

"Bianca had a concussion." He explained shakily. I was about to reply with: Well that's not too bad! When he said something else after that.

"She has amnesia." He stammered.
