My Mate chapter 10

Don't own anything; au; ooc; thanks beta

Nico sighed as Percy was lead astray by Annabeth….again. He could feel the beast stirring, it was getting impatient. Nico's shoulders slouched as he walked from the sandy beach, it was Percy's favorite place so they went there often.

Sighing again at the unfairness of his mate being in love with another, he couldn't help but think, 'Why fates? Why must I suffer like this? My mother was torn from me before I even knew her. My sister was taken from me by her own selflessness and Zoe's foolishness. My dad hates me half the time and the other half….Well I don't know what he feels the other half.'

He was snapped out of his heartbreaking thoughts by a glimmer of a soul by the evergreen forest. Nico raced over there and made it in record timing under a minute.

'Pretty good, I guess all that training is coming in handy.' Thought Nico as he skid to a halt in front of the messenger's spirit.

"My young lord there is a prophesy of your mate. Lord Hades sent me to recited it for you, he said 'Because of your changes it could involve you.'" Said the silvery shimmering spirit.

Nico jolted, his inner beast snarled knowing a prophesy nine times out of ten ends badly. 'Who dares try to hurt my mate!' Growled Nico's inner beast and Nico was inclined to agree with him.

"Tell me NOW!" Snapped Nico in a hurry to know how to avoid the fate of his mate or bring it onto himself.

The spirit feeling very ruffled snapped, "I was once a son of Hermes! Be grateful I'm even doing this!"

Nico's anger rose like a title wave. Grabbing his sword and thrusting the point to the ghost's throat. "Listen you. Percy Jackson is my mate the one I will love forever. If you don't tell me what you know right now," Began Nico in a voice filled with a slow killing poison, "I WILL TORTURE YOU FOR ETERNITY!" And Nico ended in a roar.

The spirit gulped and recited,

"A half-blood of the eldest gods, shall reach sixteen against all odds.

And see the world in endless sleep,

The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap."

At those words fiery blood turned cold as ice. 'Hero's soul cursed blade shall reap? They will not take my Percy' Thought Nico as he listened to the rest of the prophecy.

"A single choice shall end his days.

Olympus to preserve or raze."

Nico's sword dropped to his side the words, "The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap." "A single choice shall end his days." Repeated in his head, inside he could feel his beast snarling and raging, demanding to be let lose to destroy the treat that chased their mate.

"You said I could be the one the prophecy. How can I ensure it's me." Said Nico emitting a dangerous aura.

"Yes sir, your dad has some ideas. He will provide you a way to figure it our yourself in one of his many libraries and tell you any info he can." Said the shaken spirit as he eye Nico, now normally a spirit would not fear the living. But Nico is a son of Hades that's a different story all together.

Nico jerkily nodded and started for the nearest shadow.

"My Lord Prince of the Underworld?" Began the uncertain spirit son of Hermes.

Nico halted at the very edge of the forest's shadows, turning his head slightly he asked, "Yes?"

"This Percy Jackson, what does he look like?" Asked the spirit nervously rubbing his hands.

Nico developed a blissful expression on his face, despite the earlier chill-me-to-the-bone atmosphere.

"He has inky black hair that looks like silk. Eyes as green and deep as the sea. And skin-" He broke off, "Wait, why do you want to know?" He let out in a dangerous purr as he developed the mass murder/psychopath look.

The spirit chuckled nervously as a pair of silted eyes landed on him. Eyeing the dangerously sharp nails heading of the equally if not more so dangerous sword.

He said, "I saw a boy that fits that description hiding behind one of the trees. He ran off after you declared your love to this "Percy Jackson."

Nico froze as warring thoughts rolled around in his battlefield of a mind. That was already tore up because of he emotions toward the prophecy. He closed his eyes, sighing through his nose,

Those same eyes opened as he came to a decision, "I'll talk to him later after I found a way to keep him safe."

With that said he stepped into the shadows traveling to he dad's realm.

Review . Just to let you know Nico doesn't hold a grudge, his just a little bitter. J
