Do not own

Nico was not in the mood for the dream he had. It started innocently enough. Luna and him lounging around the forest. Neither worried of the monsters. They both had each others backs. Luna looked more pregnant then he remembered but he failed to notice as all he saw was his wonderful fiance.

But then everything changed. It all happened so fast, the hound, the shadows, the screams, the blood, then the voice.

"Demigod join me."

"WHO ARE YOU?" Nico screamed. He stared at his wife's crumbled body and the baby pulled out of her stomach. Nico felt the sob build up within him but couldn't figure out how to get it out.

"I am Lord Voldemort." He stepped out of the shadows. Nico turned and lunged. He felt his hands grab onto his neck then nothing. It was just a cloak.

"Nice try Demigod." He was behind him. "I see you love her right? The child to? So much could happen while you're back in time. It would be a shame if she were to die."

"No." Noco said so coldly it seemed ice would form.

"Yes, join me and prevent this."

"No." His voice was wavering.

""Demigod don't fight this." Hecate was there now. "Can't you see? We have such big plans!" She was persuasive..

"I can't."

"Oh?" Her voice was soft and sweet. "Maybe the protection of your family is the motivation you need. Join us if you don't want this to happen."

Then he was awake in his bed. He couldn't get a hold of Luna and he was scared. For the forst time in a long time Nico was absolutely terrified.

The next morning he confessed to Draco his dream. "Nico." He said softly. Like Hecate had. "I had a similar dream. They threatened everything. Nico I don't think we have a choice." He said softly.

They both turned torwdes the great hall. All the innocent children they would be forced to help slaughter. All to protect there own. How could they? For once they made the most selfish choice they had ever made. They decided to join the death eaters.

Nico supervised his class as they toom there test, he studied each one carefully. He knew so much of there families and who they would be. He felt treacherous.

"Time is a fickle thing." Hermione had once told him that.

"Professor?" Lily asked.

"Yes ?"

"What do you do when you finish?"

"Ahh, you could read or do homework for another class."

"Thank you professor."

Guilt welled within him as he turned away. Out of the corner pf his eye he noticed the Marauders conversing. Might as well he supposed. Every single one of them dies in the end.

Break was approaching fast he knew. Then was there time to disappear. Draco and Nico had discussed this for weeks.

They watched as everyone left, they turned to each others with silent mourning. They use to be happy. But now it was pulled away.

The minute they arrived at Malfoy manor they felt it. The power of the gods. They followed it in the ball room. There they saw them. Tarturus and Erbus. No wonder they were here. No wonder they felt this was the only way. There was godly interference.

Tarterus saw them first. "Come demigods!" His voice was horrible. "Thank you for coming. We knew you would."

"Of course." Erbus looked at them maliciously. "But we thought you needed more...what's the word?...Ahh encouragement." He snapped his fingers and there she was. Luna was passed out on the ground.

His precious Luna looked sick and uncared for. She lay motionless. "You came." He whispered. "Not fast enough." He whistled and it happened just as they showed. Except this time Nico tried to save her. He was thrown back along with Draco.

Draco screamed but everything was a blur. Luna was bleeding, the barely developed baby was laying next to her. "No.." he whispered.

"This Nico Di Angelo is why you do not love."

"And you Draco? He's not the only who suffers." In an instant his mother was there gagged and crying, she was mauled by the hound within seconds.

"Children of Hades do not love." They said in union.

The pain was so much to bear.
