Nico:

Nico sat in his chair with a tired demeanour. He glanced around tiredly, taking in the chaos around him. Chairs were strewn around carelessly and left abandoned. Campers stood up frustrated, ranting about world ending prophecies and more deaths. Nico took in a deep breath, trying to contain his utter contempt at the situation. It took all of his willpower just to contain the exhaustion and anger running through his veins. He growled aloud as the shouts got louder and more desperate.

It took a second before finally he broke, Nico stood up on wobbly feet and yelled to high Olympus.

"Enough!" He screamed taking control from Chiron who looked exhausted.

Nico surveyed the crowd tiredly, basking in the pure silence.

"You are acting like children in a situation that calls for rationalisation." Nico called wobbling on his numb feet.

Of all the times for Nico's feet to give up, now was not the time. He would've toppled over, had Will not put a carefully placed arm around his shoulders.

"He's right guys." Will said loudly, "I know we've just had a major war, but this is a prophecy and it needs to be thought on with a clear head."

Nico glanced at the campers noticing the sheepish looks on their faces.

"Yes, Will and Nico are counselors and I will meet tomorrow to discuss these events. For now, go to your cabins and carry on as usual." Chiron finalised.

The campers nodded and Nico watched relieved as they filtered out of the area. For such a good night, it had turned dramatically sour. Nico looked up at Will and begrudgingly let himself be frog marched back to the infirmary.

Nico could see that Will was troubled, the stressed look on his face was a dead give away.

Nico was hustled back into bed and drowned in more blankets. Will had grabbed his hand and was busy attaching the medical equipment back to him. Nico watched quietly as Will paused in attaching the drip to his arm. He was probably just second guessing himself.

"Everything okay, Will?" Nico asked, noticing a guilty look pass across Will's face.

"The prophecy is about you, isn't it!" Will stated in a rhetorical manner.

"No!" Nico blundered.

Will gave him an incredulous look, before turning back to his task.

The rest of the time Nico spent with Will was in silence. Nico watched annoyed, as Will got up and left in a prissy mood.

'Di Immortales Will was such a girl sometimes,'

Nico growled inwardly as he drifted off. His mind swarmed in his usual pessimistic thoughts.

Nico awoke the next morning with a crick in his neck and a throb in his hand. Nico rose up on his elbows and looked around the room, bleary eyed. According to the clock on his left it was 9:00.

Nico was mildly surprised when it was Sterling who danced in happily and not Will.

Nico watched Sterling pointedly, noticing the slight waver in Sterling's step and waver in his smile. That was when the thought struck him, the gods damned councillor meeting.

Nico's glare intensified dramatically causing Sterling to gulp loudly.

"Hey…" Sterling squeaked out nervously.

"Where is Will?' Nico asked pointedly.

"Ah, he's out," Sterling said.

"Out where?" Nico asked sternly, causing Sterling to stutter.

Sterling looked around nervously before the word fell out of his mouth quickly.

"Willtoldmetonotwakeyoutilltenandtouseforceifnecessarywhilehewasatthecouncillorsmeeting."

"Oh he told you that, did he?" Nico asked.

Sterling nodded mutely.

"While you can tell him that I'm taking a shortened stay at the infirmary. As I have better things to do." Nico said standing up crookedly and ripping the needle out of his hand, ignoring Sterling's protests.

"I really don't think tha-."

"I really don't care Sterling. Now if you don't mind, I will be taking my leave." Nico said grabbing his clothes and books.

He saluted at Sterling awkwardly, before fading into the shadows of the early morning.

Considering Nico hadn't shadow travelled in a while, he had expected various outcomes. Especially considering it was a spur of the moment thing and not one he had planned beforehand.

Nico had landed in his cabin with a thud, dropping his item to the floor. The weakness had been expected for him, so had the feeling of his bones turning to mush. What he had not expected was the breathing trouble and the out-of-body experience.

No, that was definitely new.

It was like Nico's soul was being pulled apart from his body with someone's bare hands. He fell to the floor beside his items, struggling for breath. Nico watched weakly as a shape formed above him, going from a blob to having human features.

It was as his vision filtered out, that he realised what the shape was.

It was a carbon copy of him, except it was see through.

Nico's last thought before he passed out was pure annoyance.

Damnit why was Solace always right?


Will's P.O.V (At the Councillors meeting)

Will had to admit, he felt a little bad for not letting Nico take part in the councillors meeting.

But then he remembered the lines from the prophecy.

Nope, never in a million years would he let Di Angelo take part in another world ending prophecy.

He walked into the Big House, following behind a whispering Jason and Percy.

Will took his seat in the rec room and watched as everybody jogged in at once, most were just impatient to know about the prophecy. Will picked at his nails and waited for Chiron to make an appearance.

His head snapped up when Chiron's troubled voice boomed through the room.

"As it seems we have another prophecy to deal with." Chiron said gravelly.

"Yeah...fun." Percy grumbled tiredly.

"Shut it Prissy. It probably doesn't even have anything to do with you." Clarisse called out cackling drily.

"I bet ten dollars it does Clarisse," Travis replied, waving a ten dollar note in the air.

Clarisse was about to agree to the deal when Chiron interrupted her.

"Mr. Stoll, please wane from making bets about prophecies." He said tiredly.

Chiron looked around the room and meeting everyone's eyes. He halted when he noticed one person was missing.

"Will, where is Nico?" Chiron asked.

"Sleeping. The idiot over-exhausted himself." Will replied. Failing to mention that he had pretty much just drugged him...again.

"Indeed." Chiron muttered drily.

"Chiron seriously. What is the prophecy about this time?" Annabeth asked, going straight to the point.

"Well you see my dear, this prophecy really doesn't have anything to do with us. It's apart of a whole other t-."

"So when you're near me

Darling can't you hear me?

S.O.S

The love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

S.O.S"

Everyone glanced up as Chiron was interrupted by someone's Hephaestus improved cell-phone.

Will looked around looking for the phone, blushing when he realised it was his. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and jogged out of the room embarrassed.

"What is it?" He hissed into the phone angrily.

"Um...Will?" Sterling asked nervously on the other line.

"Yes?" Will snarled.

"Nicoshadow-travelledoutoftheroom." Sterling jumbled out.

"Sterling say it again please, but slower." Will asked politely.

"Nico shadow-travelled out of the room." Sterling repeated.

"Goddamnit! I left for ten minutes." Will shouted earning a few strange looks from other campers.

"Ah well that's not all." Sterling mumbled.

"How could that possibly not be all Sterling!" Will seethed.

"Um well Austin found him in his cabin and ah well-" Sterling drifted off.

"What?" Will shouted.

"Nico is unresponsive!" Someone shouted in the background.

Will cursed, but silently thank whoever shouted and got to the point.

"Look I'll be there in ten minutes, okay?" Will said impatiently he needed to get back to the meeting.

"No! Will we need you here now." Sterling cried.

"Why? He'll come around soon." Will said tiredly.

"Solace, he's not just unresponsive. He's freaking comatose, he can't bloody breath!" Sterling shouted.

And that was when it all came tumbling down.
