Day's Gone Bye chapter 2 rewrite... Yaaa didn't like the first version. I dont own P.J.O
Marina sat in her cell hugging herself. She was staring at the picture in her locket. She missed Leo so much. A tear slid down her cheek and she hurriedly wiped it away.
"Um. Excuse me?" Marina looked up to see the boy from yesterday. Or was it still Yesterday? The boy was tall and skinny; a mass of Shaggy black hair fell into his eyes. Which looked like Obsidian.
"Um. I uh brought you some food." HE muttered. Marina nodded and looked away. "You probably hate me… don't you?" The boy asked. Marina stared at him. And Shrugged.
"I'm uh Nico bye the way." Marina nodded.
"Do you even have the ability to talk?" Nico asked.
"Yes I do have the ability to talk. But I do not want to talk to you." Nico bowed his head.
"Well why would you? No one ever wants to talk to me. The only company I have are the dead." (A/N No Nico! I love you!)
"Well maybe no one talks to you because you send Damn Skeletons to go and kidnap them." Marina muttered.
"I didn't send them. My dad did."
"Whatever you still helped." Nico looked at the ground.
"Well um I uh. Well at least I didn't kidnap you like my dad did with Persephone."
"Oh ya the whole Chariot thing. Your such a gentleman."
"Wait you don't seemed freaked out by any of this… do you-"
"Already know I'm a demigod? Ya I know what I am. I'm not stupid… I'm not weak either."
"I never said you were. But uh. Hades knocked you out with a single blow, so do you know Percy? And you're also pretty light and don't you eat? And you were muttering something last night, in your sleep about your Brother? And also uh you've been on the run right? So how is your hair like not gross and greasy? " Marina stared at him. She was creped out and shocked.
"Yes you did you just said it, well he's a god due, who's Percy? Where did I get this jacket? Why does it look so familiar? How do you know how light I am? Yes I eat. And oh my gods were you watching me sleep or something? And how do you know what my hair feels like? Are you a pedophile or something? " Nico looked alarmed.
"N-No I just meant. Last night after my dad hit you I carried you here and I could feel your ribs through your shirt and uh I put you in here and you were Shivering so I covered you up with my jacket, and uh you looked like you were having a bad dream so I tried to comfort you kinda like what my sister used to do with me when I had bad dreams. No I'm not a pedophile you just reminded me of me. I. Guess."
"So you were watching me sleep? Dude that is so creepy!"
"N-No I just Ah gods why can't I do this right? I'm such an idiot. I try to talk to a living person and I end up sounding creepy like I always do. Maybe that's what I am. Just some creep." Nico leaned against a wall his head in his hands and slid down the length of the stone. He sat there. Unmoving. What is with this guy? Marina wondered. One minute he's talking really creepy and now he looks like he need's a hug." She walked over to Nico and sat down next to him.
"I. Don't think. You're creepy. Nico" She muttered.
"You're just saying that to make feel better."
"No. I'm not. And what you said about me reminding you of yourself. Well. I understand what you mean. I never had that many people to talk to." It was always me and Leo… well at least for a while… then." She trailed off remembering What happened.
"Um?"
"Marina."
"What?" Nico looked up at her.
"My name. It's Marina." She said. The corner of Nico's mouth lifted a little.
"That's a pretty name." He said.
"Thanks Nico."
"Ya no problem." Marina held out her hand.
"Friends?" Nico hesitated. Then. Slowly. As if he were afraid that when he touched Marina's hand his would go right through her's. He took it.
"Ya friends." Marina smiled.
