whassup buddies! I am SOOOOOO sorry about not updating and stuff but we have been so busy it is Hilarious! Do you want to know? No! So I'm not gonna tell you! Read on good friends!
I stared at her, the room... I didn't know what to think
"Look I know there's a lot to explain but please, have this."
She offered me a sort of golden thick milkshake and I took a cautious sip. It was... Breathtaking.
Cinnamon mint and maple hot chocolate with a heavy hand of lint cocoa and chocolate swirled in with fresh milk with fruit and chocolate chip cookies on the side. It was one of my and Isaac's marvellous creations.
Thinking about him made me feel bitterly sad so I focused on everything else.
A girl on my right gasped, mumbling something along the lines of 'already...ambrosia...second...more nectar...talk to Chiron...dead'
She was perfect, blonde curly hair cascading down her shoulders and evenly naturally tanned skin with an athletic body and proud posture.
"How do you feel?" Asked another person, a man I think, feeling my head, "any burning sensations?"
"Give her some space will, She is getting uncomfortable"
And I probably would be but my ADHD had just stopped, my claustrophobia, forgotten. Whatever that damn milkshake was it was good stuff. I felt like it was the drink I was meant to drink, the one thing my body was always yearning for. Immediately my killer headache left and replaced it with a clear strong mind. That vast wound up my leg was healing, I could feel it closing up underneath the bandage. I shot up and something inside me changed, I realised something. I knew everything. Percy Jackson savourer of Olympus and leader of the Titan war. I knew about Gaia and her evil schemes, I knew about the relationships and the gods, gaia. I knew about demigods, Thalia, Nico,hazel,frank,Leo,Jason,Annabeth Tartarus oh my freaking gods it was too much information. the last thing I remember was passing out, collapsing to the floor and a pair of spine chillingly cold arms grasping me before I blacked out
Nico
Not Brooklyn... Oh god I couldn't hide forever
I hid in the shadows
No one cared that, watching her gulp down her third ambrosia
As one could realise I am not a people person
Something clicked into place, the room shook, Brook passed out and no one was there to catch her
So I did.
Brook's Pov.
I opened my eyes again, my whole body strong. The light beginning to fade to dusk. Everything was in a beautiful but almost ghostly light. Nobody was here, I just walked out and walked toward the lake. I knew camp half blood like the back of my hand. A burnt orange guitar with silver streaks was lying there. It was for me, I just knew it. i had never learnt before, but I sung wide awake by Katy Perry, it just felt right. I had never sung befo- well, before HIM anyway.
"I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I'm wide awake
I am trying to hold on
I'm wide awake
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
I'm wide awake
I'm not blind anymore...
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake"
"I didn't know you could sing like that,"
Surprised, I took off and dived into the lake.
It was ice cold and took my breath away. I had left my guitar on the shore, but as I was still submerged I saw a new bracelet on my wrist. Silver and gold, an intricate chain design with engravings of all the god's symbols on It, I knew it was my guitar. But it wasn't just my guitar. It was a lot of other things as well. But no time to examine it now. I surfaced in time to see the last streaks of purply light draw back from the horizon, draw back from the figure on the shore. Someone who had left me, completely.
It was too much to take in. Flailing around, my head sunk under the now dark water, and my entire vision was taken in by black, and the ice finally got to my skin.
Then it was black.
Nico's Pov.
She looked like she had seen a ghost. In a way, I suppose she had. But when her head went down, it didn't come up. I could feel her blacking out, struggling to stay conscious. I hadn't felt this way since...
Percy.
But now, when I thought of him, nothing else came up. I just saw her instead.
Her at the party.
My mind shifted back in time. No nico not now brook's in danger-
Streamers and dimly flashing lights dotted the place. The dance floor was temporary and the drinks table was being guarded by two teachers. Bianca was next to me.
And she was too. I smiled at her. I don't smile any more. Her eyes reflected the lights and made them dance with light. Reddish brown hair pinned up at the top.
I showed her my latest card, Tyche. Luck and fortune.
She actually looked nervous.
"If, if, you wanted to-" she began.
"Have some luck ourselves?" My heart was pounding. Please be what she was going to say. Please Tyche, please.
Her eyes danced with something I didn't recognise. Ecstasy? Maybe even...
Love?
I took the chance. I gently took her chin in my fingers and tilted her head towards me. And we kissed. Just a gentle touch. But we melted in each other's presence. And she said-
"Yes"
Then bianca like the older sister she was asked her to try and find grover. Thanks so much sis. But the memory of bianca was to sad so I moved on.
Dr thorn, taking us in his iron grip by the shoulders-
Annabeth falling off the cliff-
Bianca joining the hunters-
Thalia driving the sun chariot-
Camp half blood.
The memories of strawberries in the air coincided with what I smelt now.
My eyes widened. I still couldn't see brook.
