My sister deleted the first half of this chapter so I'm going on instinct here guys. I'll try my best though.

I haven't written anything for this in a long time.

Well back to work.

I own nothing still.

The first thing Nico did as I was about to sleep was pester me about how we were to obtain the medical supplies necessary for the removal.

'Where in Hades are we supposed to find medical grade scalpels? Or anisteric- whatcha-me call its, the numbing meds? And what in the world is Wake and Sleep either?'

'The 'numbing meds' is called No Pain. And Wake and Sleep do what the names suggest. We can get all of these at a hospital mainly by asking politely.'

I could hear Nico scoff at my answer. 'And the scalpel? I'm pretty sure that doctors don't give surgical tools to kids.'

'We-we can st-swi- Borrow one from the office.'

Nico mentally scowled. 'The word is steal or swipe.'

I was ready to bury our head under the pillow, ignore him and go to sleep. My stress levels were getting out of hand, but I tried to keep my cool.

'Okay I get it, but I've never done any of that stuff before. Souls just kind of share everything, we don't fight over resources, or money, we're happy with their jobs, we're social. Souls don't steal, we never think to, I've never thought to, okay? If you hadn't stayed I would have had a nice family that loved me, I would have gone to school and learned history and math, I wouldn't be stuck with an annoying voice that won't shut up or having to save a world of dangerous beings that destroy their own planet!' What had started as a normal explanation had ended with and enraged rant I didn't think was capable of me.

I calmed myself down and noted that Nico had hidden behind his old mind wall.

I was really stressed, I didn't know how to deal with stress, but it had turned into frustration rather quickly.

And I pushed that frustration at Nico, I felt instantly guilty but I doubt Nico could sense it behind that wall of his.

I'd apologies in the morning.

And as I fell asleep I caught myself thinking about how much better my life would have been if Nico hadn't holed up inside our head.

I dreamed a dream about it too.

Everything was quiet when I woke up. I felt like i was such a douche to Nico yesterday and decided to apologize to him.

'Nico I'm really sorry, I feel like a total scumbag please forgive me.' I thought to him.

No response.

'Nico?' I tapped his wall and it crumbled. It was like kicking in a wall to reveal a hidden hidey-hole.

A very large hidey-hole.

Suddenly all of Nico's memories were before me, there for the taking.

But where was Nico?

'Nico?'

Again no answer.

'Nico? Where are you!' I called. Fear racing through ourbody.

I had to do something! Nico was most likely fading! I had to save him! I had to!

But I had no idea what to do at all. I was freaking out. I had to bring Nico back! Maybe I could make him angry or something. I began looking for something, ANYTHING useful in his memories. I saw horrible things. So much death and violence I almost stopped looking.

'Nico! Your sister wouldn't want you to die! You have to save her! I'm almost useless with out you! I can't fight! Please, just don't leave me alone!' I called in our mind. Suddenly images of my life on the fire planet began to rear their ugly heads. Death. So much death.

'Don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone.'

That's when I found him. Like a tiny glow in the darkness if our mind, clinging to a faint memory.

'Nico! Nico talk to me, please!'

'Whaa! I'm up! I'm up!' He said suddenly alert.

I'm sure I visibly relaxed. Physically and mentally.

He noticed me and quickly erected his mind wall again. He mentally scowled.

'This is my half and that's yours.' He said, referring to the wall. I smiled on both the inside and the outside.

'Nico, I'm sorry about what I said last night. I was a total douche-bag. I was stressed about the saving the world thing and. . . I took it out on you. I'm sorry.' I apologized, over excessively of course. I was anything, if not thorough.

Nico rolled out eyes. 'I get it, it's fine.'

And for once I felt he actually did get it.

The door opened abruptly and we kinda freaked out, reached for the switchblade and everything. We both relaxed when it was revealed to be Percy.

Nico stood us up. "Hey Perce." He said grabbing the aviator jacket off the table. "We going out?" Jason nodded for him.

A quick breakfast and then we were saying good byes.

But not before Jeb gave us a road map that included places that stocked medical supplies. Nico and I thanked him.

We loaded ourselves into the back seat of Paul's car and Percy took the wheel. The older demigods slipped on shades to cover their eyes from detection.

As soon as they left the caves we were wishing for sunglasses. It was like noon and you could actually see the heat waves rising from the sand.

We toughed it out until we approached the town. At that point Percy parked the car.

"Jason, you got the game plan?" Percy asked. The roman nodded.

"Okay, first we're going to have Nico and Eclipse filch the medical supplies. I brought a magical cooler in case any of it needs refrigeration. You have to injure yourself or say you have insomnia. Whatever it takes to get what we need. I'll even punch you in the face if the blood will help you in anyway."

He looked us straight in the eyes. "And if anything bad happens, anything at all. Just shadow travel back to the car. I don't want you to die because of me okay? We have a lot to do."

We nodded. Percy looked at us. "As much as I don't think hurting oneself is a good way of getting anything done. This is the only way we have right now that doesn't raise suspicion. Be careful okay. I promised Bianca I would protect you but I can't do anything. I trust you not to get killed okay? Don't die."

Nico opened our mouth.

'Nico let me.'

"Percy, you make this sound much more dangerous than it really is. It should be simple. We just have to get a little blood and walk in, they'll give me the No Pain and Heal. After that we say out father hasn't been sleeping well and they'll give it to me. Simple."

Jason spoke first. "Okay. Let's finish this. Go get 'em you two."

We nodded and opened the door. Nico knocked on Jason's door.

"Dude, dude, open your do- OOOWWW! Merda!" We screamed holding our nose. Jason had accidentally hit us in the face with the door.

Still cursing, I felt something warm was trickling down our hands. I held one of them out and noticed a red liquid covering my hands.

Nico gained control of our large and ran us to a hospital that I pointed out. I rang the bell at the front desk and someone came instantly from the break room with a cup of tea. She gasped at how much blood was coming from our nose and rushed us into a room.

Everything was found according to plan.

Woot! this will not die! It has been revived! Yeah! Yeh!

Love it?

Hate it?
