Chapter 23
Nico's POV
Mary cried on my chest. I tried to be as strong as I could as much as I wanted to cry together with her I stopped myself. I cannot afford to be weak now, I must protect her, I don't want to lose her as I had lost Bianca. I prayed silently to Thanatos and my father to not take Mary right away.
"Would you tell me all about my past? About my life when I first met you?" She asked. I patted her head and hug her more tightly, murmuring that everything would be alright and slowly I begin to tell her about my life, about how we met, about the crazy adventure that we went through. I was too engrossed with my story telling that I wasn't able to notice that she fell asleep on my arms. I carry her to the bed that I guess she was sleeping on.
I left the cabin to walk around camp. It was 7, and most campers are probably eating on the dinning pavilion at this hour. The night sky was beautiful, and the moon seems to glow more than it usually does."There was an old saying that says, for every start that falls, a spirit finally goes to the other side." I felt Adeline's movement as she stand beside me. I stole a glance at her, her blue hair looks dark and mysterious during the night, her brown eyes seems to be sparkling as she looks at the night. I was too amazed on her beauty that I only took notice of the girl beside her when I felt a knife stab on my stomach. I saw Alister's smile as I fell down on Adeline's arms.
Once more we are separated by faith.
Alister's POV
I don't like this one bit. I don't know why this is happening to me. Of all the children of Hecate why should I be the one to mess up and see this prophecy? Why am I the one who get to meet up Adeline Vega, the famous yet terrifying leader of the adult demigod world? Why must she became my master and teach me of sword fighting? I mean Percy could do that and I don't need sword fighting to live! My life is so damn messed up! Now we just performed murder to the great Nico di Angelo and the girl who just did it doesn't seem to care! What is up with these people? UGHH!
"So where are we going to place the carcass?" Laika asked as she wipe blood from the knife she just used. Adeline toss Nico's Body as far as she could and with a smile on her face she said, "We'll leave him there. Once those pathetic demigods find him unconscious and wounded they'll be threatened. They'll finally do what they are good at, poking their nose in someone else's problems." And with a laughed she disappeared.
It was only then did Laika realize that Adeline did not come alone. She put her hand on my chin and lift it higher in order to see my features more clearly. "Long chin, slightly puff cheeks, pointed nose and beautiful lips. You're not much of a beauty but not that ugly as well. Would you mind spending the night in my cottage?"
"I'm not a Lesbian!" I shouted at her but she only laughed and the next thing I know I was being carried away from the Cabins, away from the dinning pavilion and away from camp half-blood.
WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY?
Laika and I were woken up by the warm glow of sunlight coming from the sun. We both looked at each other, both not wanting to get up and dress up for the day. The night still haunts us, the crime that we committed, the kiss that I will never forget and the things we did on her bed. I did a lot of sins and crimes last night that I'm not even sure if I still know myself.
"My first time was with my twin brother. After that night he left and never returned, I got pregnant but our baby died because of the similarities in my brother and my genes. Ever since then I was obsess with finding my brother. Adeline told me that if I follow her orders she will help in find my brother. So I follow all of her orders." I was shocked by what I learned about Laika Stefa. She was a very different person from the inside and the out.
She truly deserves to die.
I muttered an incantation, a scythe appeared, at my command. Laika looked at me with wide eyes, as I slowly put it over my head. In one quick motion, I beheaded Laika Stefa.
