The only problem was, where is my home if Nico wouldn't be there? The camp used to be my home, then it became our home. But now… it's still my home, but there's a weird tense in the air. Like the camp misses him too. I doubted if i would attempt on his funeral. It was always hard to go to one, but Nico's… I thought i would break. And i did. Austin took me to our cabin and laid me on my bed. I cried the whole night. The next week I felt horrible. They took over my shift in the infirmary, since i wasn't able to work. People tried talking to me, but I didn't talk back. What was there to talk about? We won, Nico died, I'm not okay. That's all.
I finally brought myself to go to his cabin. I opened the door slowly. I walked inside. Everything was the way we left it. I was with him the night the monsters came. His smell was everywhere. I saw the pictures on his wall. Pictures of us, Hazel, and one of him with The Seven and the Argo II. I walked to his closet, where i found three of my sweaters. A tear fell down my cheeck. All these memories… I laid down on his bed, snuggling into a blanket that smelled like him. I started crying.
I don't know how long I laid there, until i heard a knock on the door. "Will?", asked Annabeth's voice. "Will, are you in there? Everyone is looking for you." The door opened as she walked in. She came over to me and sat beside me at the bed. "Here you are… We're all worried you know. I feel so sorry for you. I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to lose Percy. You have all the right to be sad. But I don't think Nico wants you to be this way, don't you think?" I nod. She sighs. "Take your time. Call me, or someone else, if you need anything, okay?" I nod. She walk out. Call someone if I need something? I need Nico. Can they bring me him? Don't think so. If only he could be alive… Suddenly it hit me. One soul for another. Maybe i could… No. He wouldn't want that. Nico isn't here right now, said a little voice. I stand up and walk to his desk. A dagger was lying there. I take it in my hand.
For you, Nico. A sudden pain hit my chest. Everything went black.
