"Gotcha!" A voice shouted as I was tackled to the ground. My body hit the ground as the weight on top of me giggled.

I groaned rubbing my throbbing head. I turned around to see Nico's dark eyes looking down at me with a cute smile on his pale lips. "Your getting better."

"All thanks to you." Nico smiled sitting up. I followed him frowning. He chuckled pressed his cold hands against my forehead soothing the ache slightly.

"Your just a fast learner." I waved off. I pulled away from him to study his features. He was paler, dark bags under his eyes and he was a scrawny kid. He had changed over the course of three days. "Do you want some McDonald's?"

Nico's grin fell as he shook his head. "I'm good." He looked down gripping his black jeans.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked gently pushing his dark hair back away from his face.

"I-I have this feeling." He paused looking to the side. "That Bianca died."

"A feeling?" I questioned confused. Nico nodded. "Your probably just worried I bet when they get back she'll have an awesome story to tell." I grinned encouragingly.

Nico grinned childishly as he got to his feet. "I can't wait to introduce you to her." I got to my feet as the bell rang announcing dinner time. "Beat I'll win."

"No you won't," I responded as he took off running. Before, I could start my head started pounding making me wince as I gripped my head. I looked at the ground focusing on the green grass.

It flashed briefly to dark red before turning back to the luscious green.

I looked up to see Nico running away from me as my vision blurred slightly. I turned to the right my eyes landed on a cloaked figure who leaned against the Zeus cabin.

My eyes narrowed in suspicion. "(Y/N)!" Nico's voice snapped me out of my thoughts as I blinked.

The cloaked figure was gone along with my headache. I shook my head before running off after Nico.

Time Skip

I silently watched the group of cabin leaders entered the Big Cabin. I grinned as I saw Percy among them before I went to the Hermes cabin.

Nico was sitting on his sleeping bag looking at his figurines. "Nico, guess what!?"

But he didn't seem to notice me as he stared at his figurines. I noticed his eyes were red as he sniffled. "S-S-"

"What's wrong?" I asked panicked as I sat next to him. He looked up at me with a tear stain face. "Hey, I just saw Percy go into the big house." I forced a smile onto my face.

Nico's eyes widened as he quickly got to his feet. "I bet he knows where Bianca is at!" He shouted running out of the cabin with newfound determination.

I giggled at his childishness before following after him. I saw Percy take him to the pavilion so I decided to hide in the shadows and quietly observe them.

Nico's Point of View

"Where's Bianca?" I repeated my question from earlier to Percy.

Percy just sighed as he pulled out a figurine from his pocket. "She told me to give you this."

I silently took it noticing it looked like my father, Hades. It was also the last one I needed to complete my set. But. "Wh-What do you mean?"

"Nico, we got attacked because she took it from a scrapyard. But she coul-" I shook my head.

"No, she's on trial. I can feel it." So, it's true. Bianca. "You lied to me!" I shouted my sadness trying to anger.

Percy's green eyes widen in shook at my sudden change but I didn't care. "You promised you would protect her! You lied to me!"

"Nico-" he was cut off as Skeleton swiped a blade at him. I panicked backing away in fear.

"Y-You brought them here?" I asked Percy in disbelief. "You're trying to kill me?"

"No! I mean yes I did bring them here but no-"

"No! You're a liar!" Percy uncapped his sword as he blocked an attack from the Skeleton's sword. My brain was a mess as my grip on my father's figurine tighten. Percy was in danger. "Leave him alone!" I shouted as the ground suddenly opened up swallowing the Skeletons whole.

The ground closed as I felt my mind slipping off into unconsciousness. "Nico." Percy took a step towards me.

I backed away looking at him with frightened eyes. I dropped the figurine as I fled far away from him.

Away from that liar.

Away from the one who killed my sister.

I was deep in the woods as I stopped to catch my breath. There wasn't any footsteps behind me. He wasn't chasing after me.

"Nico." I quickly turned around to see a pair of (E/C) eyes full of concern. (Y/N) took a step towards me as I stepped back. "What's wrong?"

"Bianca is dead," I responded my voice emotionless. (Y/N)'s eyes widened slightly at the information. "You said she was still alive."

"Nico-"

"You said she would have a story to tell me." I glared at the girl as her (H/C) hair flew in the wind. "Your another liar like everyone else."

(Y/N)'s (E/C) eyes looked hurt but I didn't care. I was hurting so she deserved to suffer too.

"N-Nico I-" She never got to finish as the ground opened up underneath her.

My eyes widened along with her (E/C) ones that stared into my soul cracking my emotions. I rushed towards her with my hand outstretched. But we only grazed fingers and her wide (E/C) eyes full of fear was the last I saw of her.
