Author's Note: Здравствуйте! Here's the next chapter. As it turns out Nico knows Katherine. Or, at least, who she used to be. I am sooo bored over here. Like seriously bored. My friend Ruthy is being an amazing brat and I love her for it. On with the story!
"Nico, do you really have to go?" pleaded Will as Nico packed.
"Yes Will I do. It will only be for a little while and I'll be back soon. Don't worry so much." He replied for the umpteenth time. He needed to leave and soon. He knew his father had planned for this to happen but so soon? So soon after the incident with Gaea? He needed to discuss this with his father.
"Nico please, do you have to leave so soon ?Couldn't you stay just a little longer? We met a guy with a few tattoos, so what? Nico please-" Nico had had enough. He spun around and placed his lips roughly against Will's. Will'slips were soft like silk and tasted like sunshine. He pulled away.
"I have to go Will. Don't worry I'll be fine." He started to slip into shadows.
"Nico wait!" he felt Will's hand grab his arm just as he descended into shadows.
Something was wrong. He was trying to guide the shadows, but they kept pulling him in a different direction. He felt another sharp tug and was jerked back into reality, however it was not where he expected to be. He tumbled onto a sidewalk with Will sprawled on top of him. Before Nico could say anything, Will jumped off of him and threw up into the canal beside him.
Wait a second... canal?
He stood and slowly scanned his surroundings. The cobblestone streets and canal water shone in the moonlight. He swallowed and forced himself not to join Will by the canal. He knew this street. Hell he grew up on this street. There were no lights on save for one small shop. His hands shook. He hadn't thought about that shop in years. Will stumbled over to him and used his shoulder to support himself.
"Neeks? Where are we? And what the hell happened?"Will asks. Nico had to wait a moment before answering so his voice wouldn't shake.
"I don't know. Someone brought us here."
"Where's here?" he asks.
"Welcome to Venice, Italy." Nico points to the shop."Someone's expecting us."
Author's Note: Probably put the next chapter up today as well. I hate leaving cliff-hangers unresolved. That, and I literally have nothing else to do today.
WarriorOfHades Out!
