Chapter 6
NICO P.O.V.
My eyes were still full of hot tears as I stomped away from the infirmary room in which I had just yelled some pretty terrible things at Will Solace. I hadn't meant any of it, but I had only been thinking about what Eros had said. He had told me that he would kill everyone I loved. Well, that would be a little harder if I distanced myself from everyone I loved.
When I had finally reached Cabin 13, I found Jason Grace- superman himself- standing at the door. His arms were crossed, and he gave me a look that simply said tell me. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what I was going to do next. It was a terrible thing to say- I knew that, buut I said it anyway. I ran up to him, feining fear.
"Jason! It's Piper, she's in the infirmary! I had a vision- thats why I was so, uh... broken up. She got stabbed by some monster- not sure what. You have to go!" I panted out, and watched a look of terror creep onto his face. He shot towards the Big House without a word, running faster than I had ever seen him run. I ran too- into my cabin. I grabbed my backpack that I had full of the essentials for quick escapes, slung it over my shoulder, and was about to shadow travel away- where, I had no idea- when I heard it.
A horrible screeching scream, loud enough they could probably hear it in camp Jupiter. I fell to the ground, my hands over my ears and began to writh like a snake bbeing held captive on top of a stick. When the noise had subsided, I shot out of my cabin and towards to strawberry fields, and saw the dozens of others that were doing the same.
I had reached it within seconds, but hadn't noticed Eros, in his terrible godly form standing there, using his knife to cut his fingernails like somevillian about to tell you their depressing backstory. Oh, ya? Well Nico had a beter one. His mother had been murdered when he was little, he missed out on decades of his life while stuck in the lotus casino, then he was sent to Camp Half Blood alone while his sister was off on quest, only to discover his sister had been killed. Then he had spent time in the labryinth, run off again and spent most of his time in the underworld. Then there was the whole ordeal with moving the Athena Parthenos- which had sucked all of the 'life' out of him. When he finally gotten back to camp, he had admitted his hopeless crush on Percy Jackson to the son of th sea god himslef, after an unfortuante vist with Eros. And within a month he had developed yet another hopeless crush on a certain blond haired blue eyed healer who probably hated him at this point. So yea, his life had been amazing.
The god chuckled at the sight of Nico- despite having seen him only minutes before. He imeediately jumped to his feet and rose to his full godly height- causing him to tower over Nico like a giant. He began to speak to all of camp half blood.
"Greetings, young demigods! I am Eros, god of emotions! (A/N I'm making him god of all emotions because it's easier to write. Deal with it.) I suppose many of you are confused as to why I am here today." He reached down and grabbed nico by the back of his shirt and raised his to eyes level, so it looked as if Eros was preparing to devour him. "You can blame on this insufferable little brat right here!" He yelled, and turned Nico to face the crowd.
Eyes widened with both fear and fury, and Nico refused to meet them. He knew that he hadn't had a choice, he could never have killed Will, but he still felt guilty as all get out. But he couldn't think about that now. He began to kick and thrash, not caring he he diied from the fall. His only thought was to escape Eros. The god simply chuckled at Nico's struggles.
He continued. "Nico di Angelo, son of Hades. He refused my offer, a simple task, knowing that it would cost him the lives of everyone he loved," He stared at the crowd with that annoying smirk "or all of your lives, to be exact. And it was so simple really. But this demigod is a coward, no matter what he's done. He couldn't bear to kill one of his friends- the one destined to kill me- in order to save the rest of you. Will Solace," He boomed, and his eyes began to sweep the crowd. "Please come forward for your execution!"
At that exact moment, Nico finally got a grip on his sword, and managed to unsheath it. He swung furiously, and knew he had made contact when he head the god's slight intake of breath, saw the golden ichor on his sword as he pulled it back into his line of sight, and felt the grip on his shirt loosen.
Then he was falling towards the ground, the world blurring behind him. Falling, falling, falling...
NOT THE END
