Day Six
Characters: Nico di Angelo.
Shudder. Gasp. Breathe, boy, breathe. C-C-Cold. Bad. Saved? No. Need to get out…jailed. Why am I jailed? Captured? Shackles. Alone. Am I alone? Always. Forever. Friends. Do I have friends?
Stupid, they'd be here by now if you had any.
It's…dirty. Sad. Freezing. Cobwebs? Must be old. Are you old? How long has it been anyway? Minutes, hours, days, years? Stupid. You're stupid. Hungry, freezing, alone. And stupid. Don't forget stupid. And alone. You're still so alone. Nobody's here. They must have left you. Probably didn't want you around anyway. You're such a disappointment. It's like nobody bothers to check up on you. Cares for you. Loves you. You're always left behind, in the shadows. Dark. It's dark. Too dark. It's kind of haunting. Terrifying. Scary–you're scared, but kings aren't supposed to be. Ghost King. Doesn't matter now. You're still so cold.
In the darkness of the shadows, Nico di Angelo prays for a light; a flame; to remind him that it he is not alone.
flame [fleɪm]
n.
A brilliant light; a fiery glow.
