Awakening to Struggles

Chapter 9

Fights and Freezing

Everyone turned to Nick with a glare and they all had their weapons but Nick kept his arrow aimed at Percy's chest.

"Now now, Drop all your weapons, or i shoot" Nick said glaring at everyone, not moving except to draw back the arrow even further for a more powerful shot if he had to take it.

Everyone looked at eachother before slowly lowering, and then dropping their weapons to the ground.

Nick smiled and signalled for Ben to start gathering them as he lowered his bow and removed the arrow from the drawstring.

Ben slowly moved picking up the daggers and swords and he leaned down to pick up wills bow, but Will moved fast, faster than anyone had expected him to and he pulled an arrow quick from his quicker and plunged it down into the back of Ben's neck.

As Ben dropped Nick let out a loud roar of anger and he raised his bow fast towards Will and the others moved to grab their weapons while leo, percy and jason all moved and tackled ick, making the arrow he had drawn hit the wall inches from Will's head.

The three boys pinned Nicks limbs as the boy struggled and shouted that he would kill each one of them slow and painful.

Annabeth approached with her dagger and raised it above her head, ready to land a killing blow but Jason quickly stopped her.

"WAIT!" he exclaimed making all people turn to look at him. He looked at everyone with a firm glare

"He took Nico, we will find him a lot quicker if he shows us where he is, which he will do" Jason looked down at Nick. "Unless you want something 10 times worse than what you've put us all through"

Nick glared at Jason but he knew he didn't have much choice in the matter. Percy dragged the boy up and him and Leo held him as he gave them directions down the corridor and out to the snow.

Everyone looked around through the door and Jason and Percy winced as the harsh winds hit their skin, since Jason was still wet and Percy was injured.

"WHERE IS HE" shouted Percy over the wind and snow. Nick had a cruel grin on his face as he pointed over to a large pile of snow covered rocks.

Everyone gasped and Will, Leo and Jason ran over with Annabeth and Piper to start moving rocks and snow, searching for their youngest friend.

Percy grabbed Nick's shirt and started punching, not will his full strength since he was currently weak, but he punched until he was certain Nick was unconscious before he ran over to the others just as Will pulled Nico out a hole in the snow and cradled the boy to his chest.

Nico's skin was while as the snow around him with a small greyish tiny and his hands and lips were blue

Everyone looked scared and Leo stepped beside Will.

"Is...Is he….." Leo stuttered and everyone held their breaths and Will brought his fingers to the boy's neck, to check for a pulse.
