Nico's POV

I frowned. Call it a boyfriend instinct, but I knew that Will was certainly not okay. Or a soulmate instinct. I smiled at my feet. We were soulmates. It was old news, but I always felt like Aphrodite had made it up and would pop up any second and cause the drama she usually does. I'd come to depend on Will, and he seemed to depend on me too. He was always supportive, and cheerful, and seemed to always know what to do. Always. He was kinda perfect. 

We'd both had our fair share of death, and the fact that there was a chance he could have stopped it always destroyed Will whenever he lost a patient. I guess it was weird that I of all people could help him get over death, but I dunno. It just worked. It always worked. 

I felt someones eyes on me, and saw a softly smiling Piper. I blushed and looked at my feet. That girl could read people like a book. It was almost unsettling, but she made up for it by being an amazing friend. 

We walked past the purple curtains of Rachel's cave, Hazel leading the way. I looked around. You could still see the paintings she'd bleached over faintly. Like a memory, or a half summoned spirit. Newer paintings were spread across the walls, and what I assumed were canvases were scattered across the floor, covered by purple and gold tarps. 

"Children!" I saw Chiron wheel himself out in front of the purple curtain that divided the front half from the back of the cave. "Come in!" 

We walked through the curtain and saw Rachel lying down on the couch talking to Annabeth as Apollo fussed over her. 

"Are you sure your alright? That was quite the prophecy, can I get you anything? Sure you aren't going to collapse again? Do you nee-" Apollo caught sight of me. "Nico! She isn't going to die is she?" He asked anxiously. I rolled my eyes. "Your the god of medicine, tell me. Vlacas." I said the last bit under my breath of course. "Nico!" said Hazel looking at me. "Well he is! Who asks the son of death whether someone is going to die when the freaking god of healing is in the room!" I exclaimed. 

I heard a sigh. "Neeks." Will mumbled from next to me banging his head on my shoulder and keeping it there. "What?" I said defensively. "If the god of healing can't heal, we have a problem." I said bluntly. I felt Will smile into my shoulder. 

"Lord Apollo, I'm fine. I promise you." said Rachel sitting up. "Oh." said Apollo a bit deflated. 

"Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but we were sent here because of the prophecy?" asked Hazel. Will's head popped up and we all stared expectantly at Chiron, who just sighed. "You might want to sit down for this." I exchanged looks with Will, both our eyebrows raised. "Okay?" said Piper uncertainly. 

We awkwardly backed into the chairs behind us, and again stared expectantly at Chiron. But it was Apollo who spoke. 

"The prophecy didn't rhyme!" he wailed. "Do you have any idea how insulting that is! Never, in all my as the god of prophecy... the prophecies always rhymed! I want it to rhyme! How dare it not rhyme! It's unnatural! I thought Percy Jackson was bad when it came to prophecies, but you four are causing even more trouble! Which by the way, all the gods thought was impossible!" He glared at accusingly. "It was a symbol of my control over prophecies!" 

"Excuse me, don't insult my boyfriend right in front of me Vlacas." said Annabeth. I turned to Will. "How come she get's to say it!" I whined as Will rolled his eyes. Hazel started to laugh, which set off Will, who set off Piper, and soon I was holding a Will who was completely loosing it, while Hazel and Piper laughed on the other couch, while I just sat there. Annabeth looked at us and shook her head,(she was smiling) while Chiron smiled at us, Apollo stared and Rachel was also, take a guess, loosing it. 

I looked down at my laughing boyfriend, and felt a flutter in my chest. He was so cute! I am not even kidding. I don't care if I sound like a lovesick girl, but he was. His eyes were closed, while the sunlight from the windows filtered across his face, accenting all of his features, especially his freckles. "Aww!" I looked up to see a excited Piper biting her lip looking at us, while the rest just kept laughing. I blushed, and pressed a kiss to Will's forehead, who stopped laughing and smiled up at me. I smiled back. 

"Okay, I can't take it! Just get married already!" yelled Piper, shaking everyone out of their giggling fits. Will and I blushed, and he sat up. "Okay, moving on from the cute couple," How could she speak? As soon as I'd moved on from Percy, I realized how cute Percabeth was! Like seriously. As far as straight couples go, those guys were made for each other. 

"-we're here to discuss something important. The other gods will explain more, but basically, you guys need to go somewhere and find the other two chosen ones. But the thing is, if they're where me and Hecate think they are, they won't be able to fulfill their duty because they're already play a big part in another prophecy. So, they won't be counted as chosen ones. They'll still be able to do the same thing as you guys, but they won't be very significant because you four have already bonded. Get it?" Uh, what did she say?

Apparently the rest looked just as confused as me, because Annabeth sighed. 

"Okay. So basically the other two weren't confirmed chosen ones. They have been chosen, but they're more variable. It's hard to explain." We all sat in silence until Hazel spoke up. "So, we are the chosen ones, but the other two can't be even though they have a chance?" Annabeth smiled, relieved that someone understood. "Exactly! Because this isn't a normal prophecy, we have to assume that the way it works isn't the same either. You four needed to become chosen ones, but the other two had a choice. They'll still have a bond with you, but they won't be as significant." Okay. That made more sense. Hazel and I got it, but Piper and Will still looked lost. 

"One thing, which prophecy isn't normal and doesn't work the same way?" asked Will. 

"The main prophecy, or at least what we've heard, only mentioned you four. But the bonding mark has six main elements that lead us to believe there were six of you. Will," Annabeth turned to him. " The two figures you keep seeing are most probably the two other chosen ones. Again, we won't explain the prophecy here because we can't risk my mum and other gods that are against you. But all we can say is that you guys need to go to the underworld soon. Do you have any way to communicate?" 

"Yeah. My dad can send me messages. That was how I knew what to do the night we left." I explained. "Good." nodded Chiron. "But just as a precaution, don't tell anyone else what'd happened, alright?" We nodded. He smiled, satisfied. "Well, go on. Enjoy the time you have left here with your siblings! Don't let me stop you!"
