NICO'S BAD DAY
Nico was having a bad day. First, he had had to go to the stupid dance at the stupid military school he and his sister went to. Then, he got kidnapped by the vice principal, Dr. Thorn, who called Nico's Mythomagic figurines "dolls". To top it all off, he was then tackled by an invisible girl while standing on the edge of a cliff. His day was just getting better and better.
He scrambled up and dusted himself off. He looked up and his heart stopped. There, on a bronze shield, was a very realistic Medusa head. He was afraid he was going to be turned into stone, but when he wasn't, his heart started again only to have it stopped for a second time.
The shield was scarily terrifying, but the girl holding it was scarily beautiful. Her electric blue eyes were cold and calculating as she sprang at Dr. Thorn. Her army jacket, black leather pants and chain jewelry were just his thing. He loved her immediately.
