Will came out of the infirmary to find a hooded person waiting by the door. It took Will a moment to work out who it was. Will's heart fluttered.
"Nico?" He asked.
Nico took down his hood, he shifted awkwardly and looked around to see if anyone was around. Will smiled at the smaller boy; he took hold of Nico's hands to warm them up. Nico scowled.
"Doctors' orders. Can't have you with cold hands now can we?"
Nico pulled his hands away, "Now isn't the time for that, Will. Chiron needs to speak to us."
"What about?" Will asked.
"Apollo is in danger. Apparently he's in New Orleans. Chiron wants us to go and save him," He muttered.
"What?" Will exclaimed.
Nico glared at Will, he really wanted to smack Will over the head but he restrained himself. He just shook his head.
"Think about it Will. Apollo is in danger and Rachel isn't meant to be here is she?"
"Don't be so harsh, I've been in the infirmary for weeks on end, so excuse me if I'm not thinking straight."
Nico gave a small laugh, "yeah, you've not been thinking straight."
Will gasped, "What do you mean?"
Nico slightly blushed, "forget I said anything."
They heard screaming from inside the infirmary. They ran inside and saw Rachel looking like she was having a seizure. It stopped and her eyes began to glow green.
"The earth will lose its sun and plummet into darkness,
Unless one with a heart becomes heartless.
The son of the dark and a son of light will each have to prove their might,
Wisdom and water will guide them through,
There is no escaping it has been set,
Everyone must pay their debt."
