Allright!

I is back! :D

NICO: Why does it take you so long to updaaaaate?! *throws self on the floor and rolls around dramatically*

WILL: Stop being a baby. Jeez. *flicks Nico's forehead*

NICO: Owie.

Okay, so...

fyphoniex suggested an amazing thing that should happen to Nico.

Plez enjoy! :D

It had been a few months since Nico di Angelo's disappearance.

Well, more like exactly four months.

Sadly, most of the camp gave up looking for Nico after the first month of no luck.

They tried, but it was too hard.

But at the end of the second month, the only one's who were still looking for Nico were Piper, Jason, Percy, Leo, Calypso, and Annabeth. Also, Hazel, Frank, and Reyna came back from Camp Jupiter to help once they heard the news.

And of course, Will was looking the hardest.

It was becoming increasingly harder to find the son of Hades. They looked all throughout New York (especially in Mc Donalds because Leo told them to), but they still couldn't find him.

But finally, at the end of the third month, Leo finished his newest invention.

He called it, 'The Nico Detector'.

Everyone facepalmed at where it told them Nico was.

Now, keep in mind, it (sadly) wasn't able to tell them his exact location, but it gave a general area.

And it said three words:

Camp Half Blood

They all took turns hitting Jason, since he was the one to tell him that Nico would almost definetly not be in their camp.

But this gave the group of demigods some new hope at finding the son of Hades.

They looked practically everywhere, but today they were looking in the last place on the list.

A group of caves next to the lake.

Will was walking with Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank around one group of caves.

Leo, Calypso, Percy, and Annabeth were with Reyna and her two metal dogs near some other caves.

No one was talking because they were all too focused trying to find Nico.

Then suddenly, loud barks cut through the air.

Reyna's dogs ran up to her, barking and growling.

Nine of the demigods had no idea what they were saying, but Reyna seemed to undertsand perfectly.

"THEY FOUND NICO!" Reyna screamed, jumping and smiling (which she denied later on).

Will sprinted in the direcrion of the cave that Reyna was pointing to.

It was the smallest cave and the most hidden.

Will almost fell to his knees and cried at the sight of what he saw.

Nico was curled up on the ground, blood stained the ground and walls, and the raven-haired boy was practically fully faded.

Will took one step into the cave, and Nico instantly jumped up, growling like a wild animal.

Now that Nico was (barely) standing, Will could see his condition better.

Nico's hair was long -just below the shoulders- and tangled. He had dirt and blood all over him. But if it was his blood, was still to be decided. He had a wild and scared look in his eyes. Like at any moment, something was going to jump out at him. Nico was skinny. Well, he was always skinny, but now, he was so skinny, his skin pressed up extremely tight against his bones, they were like twigs. He wobbled slightly as he stood, and it kept looking like he was about to fall asleep, but suddenly he would shake himself awake.

'Oh, Nico. What happened to you?' Will thought sadly.

"Nico, hey. Neeks?" Will talked softly as he slowly made his way into the cave, "I'm not going to hurt you."

Nico growled exceptionaly loud once he noticed Will getting closer.

"Nico, it's me, Will. Don't you remember?" Will noticed the smaller boy's eyes widen and his body relax slightly.

Then all of a suddon, Nico's eyes darted to the cave entrance right behind Will and the son of Hades tensed up extremely.

Percy and Annabeth were the first ones to catch up to Will, everyone else was still trying to run across the sand. The others were almost there, but Percy and Annabeth had had a slight head-start.

Nico yelped, almost as if he had been hurt. The prince of darkness backed up in the cave until his back hit the cave wall. His eyes narrowed and he growled loudly.

"Uhm, watsup with Nico..?" Percy asked, scratching the back of his head with one hand.

"Shh Percy, quiet. Can't you see something's wrong?" Annabeth whisper-shouted at him.

Nico screamed and pulled at his hair as his body slid down the cave wall. His pained screams echoed off of the cave walls, creating a sound that caused the demogods to cover their ears tightly.

All of a suddon, Nico lunged. He somehow tackled both Percy and Annabeth at the same time.

"No! Nico! STOP!" Will screamed.

He thought he heard a slight whimper come from the son of Hades, but he didn't have time to dwell on It. He had to act fast. As quick as he could, Will ran over and wrapped his arms around Nico's waist, pulling him off of Percy and Annabeth.

Nico instantly tensed in Will's arms. Will pulled him even closer, trying to stop the smaller boys' stuggling.

Nico tried to push away from Will, but the son of Apollo was stronger than he looked.

The ghost king growled in defeat and went limp in Will's arms.

Will looked down at him and was surprised to see Nico clutching Will's sweatshirt, almost as if to make sure he would stay. Nico also was glaring at Percy and Annabeth.

Will sighed quietly and picked Nico up, bridal style. Nico instantly wrapped his arms around Will's neck, pressing his face into Will's shoulder.

"Come on guys, let's go." Will told them, ignoring the puzzled looks coming from his friends as he walked calmly out of the cave with Nico clutching tightly to Will.

'Oh Nico, how can I help you now?'

CLIFFHANGER CUZ I BE A JERK! xD

NICO: What did you do to me?!

ME: Oh, just a little curse put on you by Mania, goddess of insanity (or so I read on Wikipedia...)

NICO: *stares*

WILL: Awwww! You made him so cute at the end!

NICO: *blushes* Solace, you're dead meat.

XD yep.

Peace out!
