Nico decided this was the best time to run away.
And never return.
I'm leaving. Forever. And never coming back.
He knew. Jason knew. And whenever he reminded himself he just either wanted to die or bury himself in a grave in shame. Jason acted as if he would keep a secret; but in Camp-Half Blood a secret usually meant that everyone would know soon enough.
The embarrassment was too much and ever since then- with Cupid- Nico knew he had to leave faster. It wasn't like anyone would care. Well, maybe Hazel...but she had Frank. Maybe he could return to see her one day. Maybe.
Maybe not.
Then there was Reyna. She was like a sister to him. However, she had a duty to run Camp-Jupiter. She probably would forget him.
Sighing, he rolled out of bed and landed on the floor. Thump.
Nico hoped no one heard that.
Anyway, this was the perfect time to leave. Skye, Leo's half-sister, had come and everyone was talking about her. How she was shipwrecked. Who had sent her? Probably her mother, with the help of a ...god?
Who knows?
Atleast Leo was happy. His loneleness had been completely wiped away ever since she came. Skye only seemed to trust Leo out of all the seven; they had spend the whole day touring the camp.
Plus, she was adorable.
Nico had already packed his bags yesterday. He was going to pack water so headed towards the Dionysus cabin. As well as water, they gave him Kool-Aid. When he drank it, he became lightweight and happy. Someone had added waaayy too much sugar in that drink.
Where he got the skittles from, he had no idea. The Hecate Cabin...? When he woke up, he was being carried by Reyna and Leo. And Nico had been like, What the Hades just happened...?
Cautiously, he sneaked out of his cabin. He could have shadowtravelled, but there would be no use; there was no distance and it would drain the energy out of him. Tired from lack of sleep, he walked towards Thalia's tree. It had been that simple?
No one popping out from behind a tree and asking what he was doing? Somewhere in his heart, Nico wanted someone to notice. Someone that cared for him, like Annabeth did with Percy. When Percy had gone missing, everyone was looking for him. Everyone.
Percy...
He shook away his thoughts of fury and hatred for him.
Shut up, Nico
Someone just realising that he was missing was the least they could do. Well, like that was going to happen.
Smiling, he took one step forward and was out of the barriers.
"Well. That was easy."
For a millisecond, he glanced back to see the place he was leaving. The safest place on earth for him. But the again, not his most favourite place- no one accepted him because he was a son of Hades.
He stopped, looking forward. A new start. And new beginning.
Suddenly, he shivered;Nico could sense a life force behind him. Just before he could turn around...
"What in the name of Hades do you thing you are doing?"
