When Nico had heard Percy was being chained up, he had been furious. When he had told Leo, and Parker, they had known already. Why had nobody told him? Was it was because he was son of Hades or because he had wanted the relationship between Nico and Percy to be more than friends even though he didn't anymore? When he asked they had just shrugged. Now he was heading over to tell Will he would understand. He burst through the Apollo cabin.

"Will?"He called.

"Will's not here." Elizabeth gray replied (An Apollo demigod).

"Where is he?"

"Dunno. I haven't seen him all day."

What was Will up to? He ran out of the Apollo Cabin. He could find him later. Nico took Leo and Parker to Bunker Nine. He ran through the door. Frank was standing in front of Percy, who was chained up, punching him in the guts. Nico ran in, shoving Frank aside.

"What are you doing?!"Nico yelled. Frank looked startled as Nico started to unlock the chains tied up to Percy.

"Whatever they did to you, Percy, I'll get them back!" Nico yelled. Percy was silent. His eyes were closed. Was he asleep? Or dead? Fury rose up inside him.

Frank ripped Nico's arm off the chains. "Are you crazy?"

"You're hurting him!"

"He's not the Percy we know! He's hurt people more than I am hurting him! He deserves it!"

"Percy doesn't deserve torture!"

"This kind of Percy does!"

"You- you-" Nico was unable to say anything. He pushed Frank aside, ran past Leo and Parker, he ran to Hypnos' cabin.

"Hypnos!" he yelled Hypnos, who was asleep. "I need your help."

"What?" Hypnos asked drowsily.

"Help me get into Percy's dream!"

"What? Nico-"

"Just do it!"

"All right." Hypnos muttered.

Nico felt sleepy. He lied onto the floor and closed his eyes. When he opened them, Percy was looking at him.

"Nico?"

"Percy!"

"What are you doing here, Nico?"

"Frank was hitting you!"

"That's not me."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't control my body, or what I'm saying," Percy didn't meet his eyes. "So that's not me."

"That has nothing to do with Frank punching you!"

"Nico, don't listen to what the chained up Percy says."

"Percy, but-"

"This is only my dream, Nico. I won't be like this in the real world."

"Percy-"

"Nico, I sometimes change back to my normal self. Take that chance."

"What do you mean?"

"Goodbye. Tell Annabeth I love her."

"How about me?"

"Go, Nico." Percy began to fade. Nico opened his eyes back at Hypnos' cabin.
