"Lost time is never found again" —Benjamin Franklin
Nico stumbled away from the pavilion, leaving behind a stunned Percy and a crack in the ground. He rushed toward the woods, panting, and once hidden in the shadows, collapsed on the ground.
His dry sobs came out in rattled gasps, tears refusing to spill from his eyes. But that didn't make the pain any less real.
He could hear people shouting his name but he didn't come out. He was a son of Hades: a demigod that would face the same treatment as his father.
Nico shrank further back into the shadows, rubbing his face with shaking hands. Guilt was starting to race through him. Percy didn't just look stunned; he'd looked scared. He shouldn't have swallowed the skeletons like that. It just made him seem more like a freak.
If only Bianca was here with him. She would know what to say, how to make him feel better.
Bianca. Rage coursed through him, extinguishing the guilt. Percy had done this. Percy took his sister away from him. He never told Bianca how much he appreciated her. How much he cared for her.
He didn't even get to say goodbye. He'd never see her face again.
Because she was gone.
Sorry for the absence! I've been packing up and getting ready to head off for college later this week. Yeah. College. I can assure you that I don't feel old nor ready. But I'm sure everything will be fine.
Another reason why I haven't updated is because Doctor Who has currently kidnapped me. I've watched 6 and a half seasons in about nine days. And I don't regret it at all. I'm kinda late jumping on the DW bandwagon. But whatever.
If you watch DW, who's your favorite companion/Doctor? My favorite doctor is Eleven and my favorite companion is Rory. Ugh, he puts all other boyfriends to shame. I'm about to watch the last episode with the Ponds. I don't want them to leave!
I'll see you on the next update!
