"W-What do you mean!? How!? He hates me!" I told Zane angrily, feeling like he was just toying with my emotions.
"Nico was probably jealous of us. I mean, before, you we're usually alone. Now that you have us, he was probably jealous. I know this stuff! I'm a guy!" He said with a 'duh' expression.
"I-I don't understand…why didn't he just tell me?!" I shouted absolutely confused. Jealous!? Why would he be jealous!? I mean, he knows I'm just friends with Zane and Trent! Zane let out a long sigh.
"For someone so old your really dumb…" I glared at him as he said that. "Nico was jealous, he's a friggen fifteen year old boy! It's not unusual for a boy that age to get jealous." I tried to understand.
"Nico's actually around eighty something…" I noted. Zane rolled his eyes and groaned.
"YOUR HOPELESS KAI…but just know that Nico still loves you and is probably regretting everything…"
If that was true…then, he still did care. With this new realization I finally resolved on going with Zane and Trent tomorrow back to school. Hopefully, Nico would be there. Geez, and guys said GIRLS were complicated!
Nico Di Angelo's POV.
I played the piano as I sang, "I need some sleep. I can't go on like this. I try counting sheep, But there's one I always miss. Everyone says I'm getting down too low. Everyone says, you just gotta let it go. You just gotta let it go. I just gotta let it go. I need some sleep, time to put the old horse down, I'm in too deep, and the wheels keep spinning round. Everyone says I'm getting down too low, everyone says, you just gotta let it go, you just gotta let it go. I just gotta let it go. You just gotta let it go. You just gotta let it go. You just gotta let it go…" I wasn't good at singing. Kai was much better. I'd just gotten a message from my father. I was planning on heading to the underworld tomorrow. It was a relief in a way…a distraction. I had told Percy so he could cover for me at school.
Shoving a few last things into a small shoulder bag I finished putting a few things in and shadow traveled to LA. The trip wasn't that long using shadow travel but it still took a lot out of me as I gave in to sleep. But my dreams were the furthest thing from pleasant. Matter of fact it would fit better with the word, bizarre.
I smiled, as I ran after her. She smiled back her magnificent eyes shinned bright in the rays of sun. But slowly, the sun grew dim. "Kai?" My smile slowly faded as her reaching hand grew further and further away…
"KAI! No!" I yelled as I chased the beautiful black haired girl, but I was getting no where as the she grew further and further away, her soft voice that once said she loved him grew silent, her once glassy eyes grew dull. Her smile faded, her face was expressionless.
"KAI!" I shouted As I ran, chasing after her. I tripped and fell, she stopped, but with the sudden pressure against me. Like gravity was hulling me away. I couldn't breathe…
"K-Kai…" I strained in barely more than a whisper. I continued to scream her name, with no reply. The impending darkness closing in around me. I would soon be nothing but a memory…but she…didn't seem to notice. She…was fading. Away from me…
Nikai Laskaris's POV.
The next day I sat in my desk chair. But he wasn't there. I skipped the next period and quickly jotted down a note from our new principle. As I entered Percy's classroom and handed him the fake note.
"Mr. Vents wants to see me now?" He asked curiously as I nodded. He followed me out of the hall when he was about to go into the principles office I grabbed his wrist tugging him outside.
"W-What!? I'm supposed to be talking with the principle!" He shouted in protest as I rolled my eyes.
"Idiot. That note was a fake! I need to talk to you!" Contemplation overtook his look of confusion as he asked.
"About what?" I told him about Nico and I as he said, "Looks like you just missed him. He left the underworld for a mission with his dad." I loudly swore in Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, and English. He looked impressed, while my emotions could be descried in one word: PISSED!
"AND YOU JUST LET HIM GO!? FOR ALL THAT'S FUCKING SANE!" I shouted angrily, I thought I could make things right. But had he already forgotten!? Decided to move on!? This time, I didn't get sad, I got angry. "Condene todo esto! Hors de la pègre…" I somehow ended up talking in foreign languages when I was angry.
"What?" Percy asked clueless.
"Damn it all, off to the underworld!" I said, as I turned and smirked.
"Percy…because it's your fault, your coming to the underworld with me!"
His jaw dropped as he began muttering, "I'm surprised your not daughter of Nemesis." I told him to shut up…he did.
"Call Blackjack…" I demanded still slightly steaming. He obeyed as two Pegasus came along.
"Where to?" He asked, as I told him.
"Central Park…" Percy sighed as I dragged him to the park. We stood at the cluster of boulders as I began singing and they opened.
"C-Can't I just stay here?" Percy asked hopefully but I guess the look that I was giving him told him.
"Not a chance oh-mighty-king-of-the-magic-waters!" I snapped jerking him after me as I trudged down.
"That's a new one." He muttered thinking it over.
It hadn't changed much…at all…Percy's hand started getting sweaty and clammy. It was then I realized how truly petrified he was. Guess he didn't like being so close to the God of the Dead. Guess he had good reason! But honesty!
"Man up for Zeus's sake!" I hissed. I could feel it, Nico was close. I just knew it…I could feel it. Call it a empathy link or whatever. I knew he was close.
"How do I know if I'm gonna get out alive!? You might! But I might not! You just had to bring me!" Percy complained as I rolled my eyes and hit him.
"Stop complaining! I ain't friggen magic eight ball!"
He shut up as we made out way threw the dead people, literally. As I looked among them looking for Nico. I felt slightly, okay, completely mental! I was looking for the son of Hades in the underworld. Wow. Common Nico! Give me some sort of clue! As if this wasn't hard enough…
