Nico quietly sat on the forest floor, resting his head against a giant oak, listening for any sign that harpies were around. He wrapped his Aviator jacket around himself tightly, trying to shield himself from the cold morning wind. He glanced at his watch, it was seven in the morning and the entire camp was still asleep. Unfortunately for Nico it wasn't as easy for him to fall asleep. Sure every demigod rarely had a peaceful sleep but none of them had nightmares about Tarturus. Other than Percy and Annabeth of course. Sadly that was the thing that hurt him the most.
They were the only ones that understood what he was going through but it wasn't the same because they had each other. They had been in Tarturus together and now they they were improving because they knew they had the other person there for them. Nico had known one. He had gone through Tarturus alone, bitter, believing that he was just a disappointment. Now he was still alone. He had the best friends he could dream of at camp, but it still wasn't the same, they didn't understand. He felt different. He felt so separated from everyone else, the odd one in the group. He had grown up being told he was a disappointment to his dad, his sister had left and then died and his crush had found someone else. (he had gotten over that) Like a third wheel, he thought.
Nico thoughts wondered, he didn't notice the tears forming in his eyes, slowly falling onto his shirt. Around eight he slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. Breakfast was at nine and campers were starting to come out of their cabins. Nico took a huge shaky breath and then started walking out of the forest, towards the dinning pavilion.
Will had been standing in the same spot for fifteen minutes, staring at the spot were he saw his friend crying. He had been going out for his morning jog when he saw Nico in the forest. He was about to go and see if he was alright when he heard him crying. He felt as if someone was squeezing his heart and he just stood there, unsure of whether or not he should go up to him. A few minutes after, when Nico had gotten up and left, (thankfully the other way) Will slowly went after him.
Will found him sitting at the Hades table with Jason, Piper, Percy and Annabeth. (Hazel left a week ago) He slowly made his way to them and sat next to Nico.
"Hey guys" Will said. grabbing a plate.
Piper smiled at him. "Hey, did you have a good sleep?" she asked.
"What sleep" Percy responded for Will "He wakes up at six!" Annabeth elbowed him and Will rolled his eyes.
"What about you Nico?" She asked turning her attention towards Nico.
Nico looked uncomfortable. "Fine" he answered.
Will thought back to this morning, he was gonna have to talk to him.
Just then Chiron walked (galloped?) in. "Morning campers, Remember that today " He started once he got everyone's attention. "Our fellow campers from Camp Jupiter are going to join us this afternoon to discuss plans for our camps" He paused. "and as planned we will be having a friendly game of Capture the Flag in the Evening."
Will snorted, as if Capture the flag could be a friendly game with the Romans.
"Hey Annabeth, has the Athena Cabin come up with a plan?" Jason asked, turning his attention to Annabeth.
Annabeth smiled. "The Athena Cabin always has a plan." Annabeth said. Percy groaned. The last time Annabeth said that Percy had been set up to be attacked by Clarisse so the Athena Cabin could get the flag.
Will turned his attention back to his Breakfast. He thought for a moment and a minute later food appeared on his plate. He slowly got up and scraped some into the sacrifice flame. As he sat down Will turned his attention to Nico.
"Oh by the way Nico" Will said taking a bit of his food. "During the game you have to be with me or your not allowed to play.
Nico choked on his food. "What! Who said?" He demanded
"I said, you have to listen to me Doctors Orders"
Jason snicked. It was Piper's turn to elbow her boyfriend.
"What! Why? That's not fair! Nico complained.
"I said so, remember what you promised me"
Nico starred at the table, angry. When he didn't say anything Will shrugged and went back to eating. Nico was like a onion, you had to slowly peel the skin away to get the good part Will thought.
Jason was still snickering at Nico when he suddenly made a strangled scream. Will looked up to see a bony skeletal hand sprouting out of the ground and grabbing onto Jason's shirt. Everyone laughed while Jason glared at Nico.
"Di Angelo-" Jason threatened. But Nico was already running away, with Jason in pursuit.
Later that day, when the camps were getting ready for the game, Reyna walked up to them.
"You're going down Jackson" Reyna said while grabbing her sword.
"In your dreams RARA" Percy retorted.
Reyna glared at Percy. No one called Reyna that unless they had a death wish. Before Reyna could kill Percy, Chiron told everybody to get ready to start.
Shooting Percy a your dead meat look she walked off, ordering the Roman Cohorts into position.
"Hey Will I found your buddy" Jason said grabbing Nico, who was trying to escape. Nico sighed and stood next to Will.
"Don't expect me to hold your hand" Nico said a little awkwardly. Will blushed and turned to look at Chiron.
"3"
"Everybody remember your positions" Annabeth said.
"2"
"1" and the game was on. (AN: Hehe Sherlock )
The game started off fine. The Romans had the side of the forest with Zeus's fist and the Greeks had the other. The Apollo, Hades, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Hermes and Hypnos cabins guarded and stayed on the Greek side of the Forest while the Athena, Zeus, Ares, Hephaestus, Dionysus and Demeter cabin went for the flag. Everything was fine until Reyna, Hazel, Frank and around twenty- five Romans came. The Aphrodite cabin and the Apollo cabin (along with Nico and Percy) were guarding there side of the river when Piper saw them charging down the hill. The Aphrodite Cabin used their charm speak to make them do stupid things while the rest went out to attack. Percy was fighting Reyna, Nico was fighting Frank when Will saw Hazel trying to sneak away. Will ran after her. She was splashing through the water when Will crossed her path. Hazel grinned."Sorry about this Will" she said. Hazel was a really good fighter. Will tried to attack but he could barely defend himself. Suddenly Will was thrown back as a wave of water splashed into Hazel.
Will looked up to see Percy grinning like an idiot. Unfortunately Will couldn't thank him because Reyna came up behind him and attacked.
"That's for calling me RARA" She yelled.
Will went back to fighting. A few minutes later when Will was fighting Dakota, he saw Annabeth running across the river with Clarisse. Holding the flag.
Chiron blew the horn and all the campers gathered near the river.
"Well, what an excellent game! Well done everybody, although we could have done without the, ah, little accidents." He said glancing at the Stolls. Will glanced at Percy who had a black eye, courtesy of Reyna. Clarisse locked pretty smug about winning. As everyone started heading towards the Dinning Pavilion, Will searched for Nico. He found him at the back of the crowd. Will made his way towards him.
"Hey" He said.
"Uh, ya hey, um Nico" He started. Nico looked at him. Just when Will thought he should talk to Nico about this morning (since it was just those two) Nico's eyes widened.
"Will!" He shouted. He pushed him out of the way. Will lost his balance and fell. He looked up to see Nico being being thrown against a tree by a...Scorpion? Oh gods. Will cursed. How did that get into the borders? Will quickly took out his sword at killed it nearly getting stung by it's pincers. Panting he ran towards Nico. Will choked. Nico had a deep cut across his forehead and...Will almost cried out loud. He'd been stung on the arm. Will picked him up but he could barely move he would never get him to camp in time. He cried out for help, but everybody left. Dizzy his head spun and he collapsed onto the Forest floor. His eyes drooped and darkness consumed him.
Will opened his eyes to see huge sea green irises and inch from his nose. He pushed Percy's face away from him.
"Dude personal space" He groaned.
"Nic-" Percy started. Then Will remembered. Nico.
"Oh gods" He cried out. He threw back the sheets and pushed past Percy, nearly knocking him to the floor.
"Wait" Percy yelled.
Will ran to the end of the room. If anything happened to him...No. That wouldn't happen. Will wouldn't let it happen.
The last bed had a curtain around it, shielding it from everyone's view. Just as Will was about to push back the curtain. Kayla came from behind it. She looked terrible. She looked up and saw him and her eyes widened.
"Will-"
"Nico" he said simply. Kayla looked at him.
"He's fine now. It took a lot of work, we uh almost lost him but Chiron and me healed him."
Will hugged her and let out a great big sigh.
"Thanks" he whispered. Kayla was the only one that knew that Will had a major crush on the son of Hades. She pulled away and smiled at him.
"He's resting so don't wake him, you should get some rest too." She paused. "I'm going to the big house. Chiron called a meeting to talk about the monster from the forest that attacked you guys. Anyway he asked me to replace you until you get better."
Will smiled. "Thanks". That's all he could manage. After she left, Will went inside.
Nico looked terrible. His skin was pale with a greenish tinge. He had a bandaged wrapped around the cut he got on his forehead. Will sat at the edge of his bed and grabbed his hand.
Never again. He thought. He would never let him get hurt again. He would be there to heal him he promised to himself.
Pain.
That's all that Nico felt after his head hit the tree. For what felt like forever Nico lay in endless pain. Then he saw the shadows around him take the form of...his dad.
Great. Nico was either going to die or get in trouble. But he didn't stay long. All of a sudden a bright flash of light nearly blinded Nico. After a few moments Nico felt himself feel better, more...solid. It was then he realised he had been fading, literally.
Exhausted, he drifted off. Everything disappearing. from his mind except for one thing.
Will
Well how was it. A bit cheesy and cliche I know but ya
Please review!
