CHAPTER 2
WILL P.O.V.
I had been expecting a gaping wound, or a bloody, unrecognizable 14 year old boy laying on the hospital cot. What I saw was much worse. Nico was barely visible, but he looked like a black and white movie. You could see the chairs behind him as if he was a ghost. There was no colour anywhere on him, it was like I was seeing him in an old movie. I would have laughed about that, knowing when he was born, but now was not the time.
His dark eyes were barely open, but I saw them watch me enter. I walked slowly over to the side of Nico's bed, grabbing his hand in an attempt to assess the situation. I was immediately overwhelmed by so much darkness, so much sorrow, that I practically threw his hand away as I stumbled backwards. I immediately felt bad about it. The kid might be dying, and I just did that. I felt like a jerk.
I turned to look at Jason, who had just walked in behind me, panting slightly.
"What. Hapenned." I asked, anger creeping into my voice. I wanted the truth, and I knew I probably wasn't going to get it by asking nicely.
The son of Jupiter was only slightly indimidated as he began to explain.
"He was trying to teleport- or shadow travel, or whatever- all the injured demigods from the battle scene in Virginia (A/N My home state!) But there were too many, or it was too far, because one time, he was bringing two Ares' kids back, and he showed up like this. Do you know what's wrong?" He said it all in one breath, making him pant even louder and harder then before.
I did know what was wrong. I had known from the second I had taken his hand.
My best friend, Nico Di Angelo, was slowly fading away into the Underworld. And I didn't know how to cure him.
Hey! Sorry about this cliffhanger too, but I promise I will update super duper soon. Also sorry about Nico! Review, Favourite, Follow or whatever. See you little nerds later!
