Hey guys! Thanks for all your reviews; I'm going to be working on this story more than my other story. So for all of you who read my other story, it's essentially on hold for this story. I will probably start the next chapter for that story after I publish this one. Thanks again!

Diamondgirl3- I know! ;( Thanks for continuing to read and review!

XxXTratie-and-Thalico-4everXxX- Thalia seems to always be the one to understand him, I know. I think it's because they're so alike in many ways. Percy and Annabeth seem to be the complete opposite of them. We'll see what Nico does. Thanks for your blessing and your review!

lizziekitty001- Ahhh your dinosaur computer…. Thanks! I like being able to step into the characters shoes, that's why it's harder for me to write in Percy and Annabeth's POV. I'm more alike Thalia and Nico than them in my opinion. Note to self- work on description, okay. Thanks! I try. I know! Teen wolf inspired me a bit in this chapter, hehe. Yay! I'm horrible at grammar, thank god for spell and grammar check. I miss you beta-ing me too! Hopefully when summer schools over you'll have a little bit more time? Thanks and PONYBOY! :D Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold. D: Johnny! I got to watch the full version of that movie, even though the book's obviously better. Aww, I don't have fans! You're the one who introduced me to writing! Hyper active imagination, comes with the adrenaline disorder , I guess it could be useful at times. Luv ya! Thanks for your long review!

Whoa, lots of reviews for this chapter, thanks a lot guys! Can we get more next chapter? Maybe 20 reviews? Well time for the story.

Thalia's POV

"I doubt that you have as many problems as Nico's had his entire live. I mean sure your daddy was never around, you had the fate of Olympus on your shoulders, the gods are hunting you down, blah blah. Stack up Nico's life problems next to yours. Now your then savior of Olympus, the popular hero, and you've got one of the most sought after girls in Camp Half-blood, the only problem you have now is being hunted down. Nico has that too, with all of his past problems, and my weird messed up episodes. So back off, and think." I said as defensively as a mother bear.

Percy's jaw dropped, to the ugly tile floor below him. I don't think anyone's talked down to him in a while.

Annabeth sighed and ran her thin fingers through her curly, blond, hair, "I guess you're right, where's Nico? Percy and I should apologize to him because he probably heard."

"What do you mean? He's right th-" I turned around to where Nico was previously sitting five minutes ago against the wall.

My eyebrows furrowed. Maybe he went to lie down in my room. I sped walked to my room with Percy and Annabeth behind me. They were holding hands and his arm was around her shoulders and hers around his waist. This made me want to find Nico even more.

I shoved open the door to my previous room. There lying on the bed was the rest of my belongings, not what I was looking for. My eyes squinted and I looked to the bathroom in my room. Not there either. Where could he have gone? Maybe down to the cafeteria for some food, he didn't like hospital food much though. It was worth a shot.

I sent Percy and Annabeth a sidelong glance and looked at their worried expressions. Which made me a little worried, but my face was covered with a mask of confusion. I went to a fork in the hallway and squinted as I struggled to read the sign. The letters were completely moved around because of my severe dyslexia.

I looked at the little symbols instead. A fork and knife were next to each other. I deciphered that it the cafeteria was on the ground floor.

"Thalia, you really need to try to work out the words, instead of taking the shortcut of symbols." Annabeth scolded.

"I'll be sure to work on that in my spare time." I said hastily.

I weaved through the people to the elevator, dodging wheel chairs, and gurneys. I pressed the down button with the arrow on it.

I bounced my leg up and down waiting forever for the stupid elevator to climb a measly three floors. I fiddled with my necklace and a ding sounded as the elevator doors opened and throng of people emptied out.
We squeezed in with a crowd of other hospital goers, including nurses, and sobbing relatives. A middle aged man with a briefcase asked what floor, and I curtly told him first. I backed into a good looking teenage guy, who probably wasn't older than eighteen, who decided that it was a good idea to squeeze my ass.

I gasped and turned around winding up for a good punch to the jaw when Percy beat me to it.

"What do you think you're doing?" He yelled towering over the tan guy's face.

The blond was grimacing with his hands on his face, and then pointed to Annabeth, "I thought the one over there was your girlfriend."

"She is. What's your point?" Percy said defensively.

My upper lip was twisted up in a look of disgust and rage when the doors opened and the guy bolted through them then took a left hand turn.

"Why I ought to-"I cut him off holding up my hand.

"Forget about it." I said missing Nico more than ever. I desperately wanted someone to hold me in their arms and tell me the guy was just an over confident jerk.

We took a left turn before the elevator doors closed and headed towards the cafeteria. I pushed the double doors open and looked through the crowd. He wasn't here either; I looked toward Percy and Annabeth with a look of desperation. Waiting for them to tell me that he was here in this hospital somewhere, but instead I was met with green and gray eyes full of immense worry.

"Where could he be? He was here just fifteen minutes ago!" I said turning frustrated.

Percy's eyes light up with the presence of a rare idea forming in his mind.

"Let me hear it." I said motioning for him to spit it out.

"We could find a way to IM him, and it'll show his location and we can try to talk to him." Percy said in a tone of obviousness.

"That's the best idea yet!" Annabeth said grinning and pulling him in for a kiss.

My shoulders dropped and my posture sagged. I guess knowledge turns Annabeth on, but then why would she be in love with a seaweed brain? I shoved that thought out of my mind and started to search for a bathroom. Some rude lady sped walked past me and practically shoved me against the wall with her shoulder.

I put my face in my hands and let out a muffled cry of frustration. I needed him; I haven't felt his lips on mine for the longest time. It felt like forever but It's really only been a few days. Just to feel his embrace and take in the scent of death, leather, and pine needles that came along with him. I probably was being over dramatic, but everything about him plagued my mind. His touch, his smell, the sound of his voice, his smile, everything about him was perfect to me.

After just going through that incident I wanted him more than ever, the experience came flooding back to me.

I woke up quickly being dragged across the parking lot in the back of the gas station. I was utterly weak, but I thrashed and withered and eventually broke free of Dustin's hold. I could see the van he was trying to lug me to out of the corner of my eye and my knees wobbled as I struggled to my feet. I groaned and rolled my shoulders and took off running.

Thalia Grace never ran from a fight, but right then I didn't think I was the regular Thalia Grace, so I didn't act like her. Thalia Grace was rarely afraid, but at that moment I was terrified. I turned back losing speed as I saw Dustin right behind me with a cruel and menacing look in his cold, blue eyes.

I was weak so I slowed to a jog as I got closer to the back door. Dustin barreled toward me and tackled me to the ground. My head clonked on the hard pavement as he started to punch the Hades out of me, I raised my bruised forearms to shield the blows. I grabbed a good sized loose chunk of rock from the loosened part of the pavement, then I wacked the back of his head with as much strength that I could muster out of my weakened body.

He snarled then climbed to his feet before tying my arms above my head with rope. I clenched my hands into fists then brought my knees to my chin and rocketed up off the ground. My hands hit Dustin's hard jaw and he screamed and stumbled backwards. I resumed running towards the gas station when I got desperately close to the door when Dustin grabbed my ankle and I crashed down to the pavement again.

I kicked his face with my boot then he took his hands off my ankle to put his hands on his face. I stumbled to my feet and opened the door to the gas station.

Dustin came up behind me with a larger chunk of rock and slugged my head with it. I slowly crumpled to the ground and the world faded slowly. I was vaguely aware of the sound of sirens, but I didn't care because then everything went completely mute and I was sucked into a cold, dark world of darkness

"Thalia, Thalia, Thalia! We found the bathroom!" Annabeth said pointing to the left.

I looked up and saw the restrooms a couple feet away. I blinked and walked towards them.

"Percy, you stay out here unless you want a bunch of ladies waking you with their purses calling you a pervert." I said directing him to bench a few feet away.

"I'm good; I'll just sit down and wait. Wait, why do you guys get to IM him?"

"Because there are more females here, and Thalia's his girlfriend. Now sit your ass down and wait." Annabeth said walking into the bathroom dragging me with her.

Thankfully there were only two old women cackling together, while putting on way too much makeup on in the mirror. I gave them both my best death glare and they shuffled out quite quickly.

""O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering, Nico Di Angelo, location, unknown." Annabeth said, taking a large pause after before stating his location.

Soon we saw a tall guy in a black hoodie, zipped up and the hood thrown over his head. He was walking quite briskly with his back to us. I'd know those boots anywhere that was Nico.

As he crossed a busy street I tried calling his name, "Nico! Nico, turn around!"

He either was ignoring me or couldn't hear me, I was hoping for the later. Annabeth quickly ran her hand through the image.

"What did you do th-" I was cut off by an old woman shuffling her penny loafer clad feet through the door, then into a stall.

Annabeth looked at me with wide eyes and rose her eyebrows in an, 'I did you a favor look.' She grabbed my forearm and dragged me out of the bathroom.

Don't worry, I looked at the street sign when he crossed it, and also noted a few landmarks." Annabeth said, always ever observant. When I, like an idiot, just stood there, screaming, and trying to get his attention.

"Let's go get him." Percy said, appearing out of nowhere with kind smile spread across his face.

"Yeah, let's do this."

Nico's POV (what you've all been waiting for.)

I quickly weaved through the small crowds with my expert New York crowd navigating skills, heading for the town's train station. I figured an airplane was out of the question, and I definitely didn't have enough money for that. I'm sure I could convince someone to let me on that train without a ticket, if you know what I mean.

Soon I heard someone vaguely like Thalia calling my name. I tensed and ground my teeth to stop myself from turning around.

"Don't turn around, just keep walking. You're probably just hearing things."

Picking up the pace I crossed the street almost knocking a business man into a newspaper dispenser. I couldn't help it anymore; I turned around looking for Thalia, or anyone that looked familiar.

All I was meet with were nameless, ordinary, people looking everywhere but me.
