Chapter sixteen

Will POV

When I first heard the scream, my first thought was that Nico was having a nightmare. Then I remembered he was somewhere else. I sat upright in my bed, and looked around, Ron was sitting up in his bed, sweating and scared. Harry was next to him, asking what was wrong. That's when I saw the knife lying on the floor, I was by Ron in seconds.

"Are you hurt?" I asked worriedly.

"He's fine." Harry told me.

"Black! Sirius Black! With a knife!" Ron said suddenly.

"What?!" Harry shouted

"Here! Just now! Slashed the curtains! Woke me up!"

"You sure you weren't dreaming Ron?" a boy called Dean said.

"Look at the curtains! I tell you, he was here!"

All the boys were up and out of bed in seconds, moments later, they were in the common room. Sleepy voices shouted after them.

"Who shouted?"
"What're you doing?"

The common room was lit by the dim glow of the fire, it was deserted.

"Are you sure you weren't dreaming Ron?"

"I'm telling you! I saw him!"

"What's all this noise?"

"Professor McGonagall told us to go to bed!"

A few more people joined us in the common room, Thalia among them.

"What's happening? A party?" Fred Weasley, Ron's brother, asked.

"Everyone back upstairs!" a red headed boy shouted.

"Perce- Sirius Black!" Ron finally shouted.

The common room went very still.

"Nonsense!" said 'Perce', "You had a nightmare Ron, that's all."

"I'm telling you-"

"What is going on here!" Professor McGonagall shouted as she stormed into the room.

"Nothing professor!" Percy -i think that was his name- said, "My brother Ron here had a nightmare and-"
"IT WASN'T A NIGHTMARE!" Ron yelled, "PROFESSOR! I WOKE UP AND SIRIUS BLACK WAS STANDING OVER ME! WITH A KNIFE!"

Professor McGonagall stared at him.

"Don't be ridiculous Weasley, how could he possibly have gotten through the portrait hole?"

"Ask him!" Ron pointed a shaking finger at the back of the portrait, "Ask him if he saw-"

Glaring suspiciously at Ron, professor McGonagall walked over to the picture and asked the person in the portrait,

"Did you let anyone, besides from me, in after the children went to bed?"

"Why of course good lady," the picture said

"But, but the password!"

"He had 'em, had the whole weeks! Read 'em of a little piece of paper."

Professor McGonagall turned to face the crowd of assembled students, her face was white as chalk.

"Which person," she said, her voice shaking, "which abysmally foolish person wrote this weeks passwords down on a piece of paper and left them lying around?"

there was utter silence, broken by the smallest of terrified squeaks, and a small, shaking had raising into the air. It was Neville Longbottom.

A little while later

Every house had been taken down to the great hall, every student was terrified, Sirius Black had broken into the school, and almost killed a student. There were sleeping bags laid out on the floor, Will had one next to Nico, who was next to Reyna, who was next to Thalia, who was next to Jay, who was next to Arya. After a while, it seemed that everyone was asleep apart from me and Nico. I looked around, the teachers had all disappeared, I leaned over and looked at Neeks, then realized that he was asleep. I smiled to myself, he looked so adorable, his hair was in his eyes, he was breathing softly. I was lucky to have his as my boyfriend. I lay down and closed my eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep.

Nico POV

Nico looked around, the blood red clouds hung all around him in the air, the black, rocky landscape was covered in monsters, Cyclopes, Hellhounds, Earthborn, and countless other monsters, I yelled out a war cry, drew my sword, and charged. I swung my sword, the blade connecting with monsters arms, legs, necks, heads, I felt something hit my arm, I spun around. It was him Dr Thorn. The Manticore. I yelled out my fiercest war cry yet, one that would scare even my father, and charged. I drove my sword into the creatures heart, it cried out in pain, and I enjoyed it. This was the thing that started everything. It was his fault Bianca was dead, I smiled a grim smile as he turned to dust. Then turned around the monster army, but they were gone, every last one of them. Suddenly I felt alone, scared, how could I get out of here? Then I heard a voice,

"Neeks! Come here!"

I spun around on the ball of my heel, it was Will. I smiled, ran to him, but as I went to hug him, he drew back.

"What are you doing?!" Will sounded disgusted, "Get away from me you idiot!"

"Will, I-i what?" what was happening? Why did Will hate me so much? What had I done?

"Leave!" Will walked away from me, saying seven words that broke my heart, "Did you seriously think I loved you?"

I sat down on the floor, but I wouldn't cry, not again, never again. I would never be weak again, never. I stood up to leave, I didn't know how to, but I would find a way, when another voice spoke from behind me.

"Nico?" her voice, I hadn't heard it in years, so long, and I missed her so much. I turned to see my sister, Bianca, standing there, smiling. But then the smile faded from her face, she frowned at me, looking disappointed, then spoke again.

"It's your fault Nico, your fault I died."

"No, Bia, it wasn't! I swear it wasn't!"

"It should've been you Nico, you should've died instead!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry Bia!" I was starting to cry now, then a dagger stabbed Bianca through the back, I cried out and threw a knife at her murder, the I came back to reality and saw who it was, Will.

"NO!" I shouted, I couldn't lose him too, "WILL! NO!" I ran to him and heard his last words faintly,

"Never loved you Nico..." I fell to the floor and started to cry, Bia was gone, Will was gone, and it was my fault, all my fault! I curled up into a ball and cried quietly, there was no point in living any-more, no reason. I cried and cried, then felt two hand at my side, I looked up and saw Reyna and Hazel looking down at me, smiling. I gave a watery smile back, then they keeled over, dead. I screamed, cried, hugged their body's along with Will's and Bia's, everyone was dead! Why! I cried and cried, then I heard a voice, it was Will, shaking me.

"Nico! Neeks! Wake up!"

I shot up ad opened my eyes, I was in the great hall, everyone except from me and Will was asleep, I realized I had been having a nightmare, and that it was okay, I wasn't in Tartarus, everyone was safe.

"Come here." Will hugged me tight, and I snuggled close to him, listening to the beat of his heart. He kissed my heart and hugged me tighter, I closed my eyes, and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Unknown POV

My master was angry, very angry. One of them had been destroyed, and now he was mad. And who else could he take his anger out on but me? I looked around nervously, it was almost ready, it would be ready soon, and then they would be gone. I just had to get one last thing, and It would take a while. It wasn't easy to fly as an eagle to America after all.
