Dreams attacked me throughout the night, too many, too fast.

Some dreams contained Nico. Some Jiana, my mother, father, the blue monster...

Maybe I should rephrase my first sentence. Nightmares attacked me throughout the night.

I barely remember them now, except for one. It was of a woman, her features were soft and motherly, other than that, she looked like my mother.

She was chanting something, I'm not sure what though. What I remember is "Their destined meeting the Fates will curse, For in their hands the world's fate lurks."

Doesn't sound very good to me, really.

I woke up feeling as tired as I was the night before, I needed to rid my head of any coherent thought.

I needed to train.

I needed to find Percy and Annabeth.

Hurriedly, I put on the school's tie, white button-up shirt and sleeveless jumper, and wear a pair of jeans and sneakers instead of the required charcoal skirt, stockings, and black shoes.

I grab my backpack that Lady Hecate put an undetectable extension charm on, and stuffed my robe, skirt, shoes and stockings in with a few class books.

Half way to the Great Hall was about the time I realized that I don't know where Percy or Annabeth was. So I just dash to the Defense class first to see if they were there.

Through the solid wood door of the Defense class, I can hear Percy and Annabeth.

"You sure, Wise Girl?" Percy says.

"Positive," Annabeth replies, "It's her, definitely, when have I been wrong, Seaweed Brain?"

"Well there's-" Percy starts, but abruptly stops, wise of him.

"You do remember her right?" Annabeth asks.

"'Course I do, how could I forge-"

"Eavesdropping isn't a nice thing to do." Nico's voice directly at my left ear cuts off Percy's reply.

"What the-?" his hand muffles the rest of my outburst.

"Shhh..." he says warily, "Wouldn't want them to find out about you, right?"

He takes his hand away from my mouth and I whisper, "Err... yeah."

"Um..." I mumble, "M'sorry..."

"Huh?" he asks, "What?"

"I said, I'm sorry." I say clearly, heat rising to my cheeks. "For... y'know... trying to kill you..."

He smiles lightly, "Yeah, I'm sorry too, for, y'know, killing him."

I shake my head, a day was long enough for me to realize my mistakes, "You were doing it for me, how can I not forgive you?"

"He's in Elysium, if it makes any difference." he says, slightly embarrassed.

I smile slightly, "I wish I could see him."

"Well," he says, "I could take you to him... someday."

"I'd love that." I say, meaning it completely.

"Er..." he mumbles, before asking, "Why are you here anyway?"

"Oh!" I say, realizing that I forgot for a minute why I was there, "I wanted to... get my mind off things."

I know that he knows what it meant.

"Wanna go sometime?" he asks, "We, Percy, Annabeth, and I, are allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest."

"Sure," I say, not realizing that agreeing would change things between Nico and me so much.


A/N: I'm sorry for the shortness, I'm experiencing a bit of a writer's block here. I just can seem to figure out how to introduce our antagonist... Anyway, it's not your problem so don't mind me. Oh, I know some of you are Twilight fans, I made a fan-fic. Don't worry, anti-Twihards, it's not an Edward/Bella or Nessie/Jake fan fiction. 'Cause I can't stand Edward/Bella fics sometimes. (Ever notice how Bella's a mary-sue, sorta?) Review! ~Nyx
