Disclaimer: I pray to the Gods for it.
Rumble and muffle voices run through my ears. I couldn't understand who they are nor what they're saying. A huge throbbing noise echo throughout my head, covering up all the other noise. I feel something wet land on my forehead. I couldn't open my eyes.
"Will...be okay?" A deep voice seem to enter my ear, just part of it. He sounds frighten.
"Ye...she wi-...okay," another deep voice came. Sounding more confident then the first one. "...rest is all. I'm...-out Per-... bumps?" Fragments but it seem that he said my name.
I focus on the voices instead of the loud throbbing that echos in my head. "He deserve it anyway," a soft voice came through.
"Calypso, it still doesn't mean to smile when you hit him," another boy voice. "Even after the impact."
Calypso huff. "Shut it Leo." Then it sounded like Leo sigh.
"Is he going to be okay?" Another girl's voice ask.
"I don't know really," the same deep voice says. "He have two hard blows on the head with a metal hammer. He's lucky that he don't have a crack skull. Better yet, dead." A pause making the silence feel tense. "He'll probably have memory loss."
The room fill with groans. There was a loud thud before another came.
"He was just...getting...God Dammit!" a girl scream, another thud.
"Would you please stop hitting the wall." He sigh. "Anyway, you all should have thought about plan B more carefully than act on."
"I try to make them reason," another deep voice came. "They didn't want to lesson. Not even Annabeth."
""You shut it too Grace." Annabeth huff. "No wonder you and Leo make such a good couple."
"I'm still mad at that!" yell Calypso.
"Anyway, what about Nico?" the boy ask. There is a pause before a different girl spoke up.
"They took him back," she says. "I can't see anything else of what's going to happen to him. I'm afraid we can't get him back." Everyone went silence. A deathly silence that nobody wants to be in. The one that sounds like someone just died. "I'm sorry guys."
"No, Rachel.," Annabeth comfort. "It's not you're fault. We just...can't do anything."
Nico. I open my eyes. Blurriness fill my vision. Yellow is the first thing I see as my hand couldn't help to reach up to it. It moves but I grab onto something. "Nico," my voice sounds rasp, "where is he?"
"Don't worry about that," the yellow says. "How are you feeling Percy?" I slowly shook my head. I don't want him to ask how I am. I want him to answer my questions of where Nico is.
"No." I breathe out. "Tell me where is Nico. Where is he?" The throbbing and the muffle came back. I couldn't hear what he is saying. Nor the others who seem to be shouting. My vision became more blurry 'til it turn white. I felt my arm lose grib and fell down.
Then everything went black
I grab the jacket on my bed and pull it on. It's cold and snowing. Christmas day. Even though I don't celebrate the holiday, I can feel the smile growing on my face for the whole different reason. The energetic feeling spark inside of me. I can't wait.
"Sweet Zeus, who's calling me?" A cry of frustration call out through my room. I look at the window to see a image in mist with someone frowning. The Iris Message glow. My smile brighten. "Hello? Anyone there?"
"Right here Neeks," I call as I came into view. His frown soften but didn't leave completely. "Happy Birthday! You ready for today?" The brighten light behind him seem to make him more lively. I can see the black strap of the black toga I've been seeing lately over one of his pale shoulders. I never know why he wears that.
Nico look behind him for a sec before turning back to me. A small smile dancing on his lips. Lately I've been making him smile a lot more. He nodded. "Yeah but I might be a bit late. Dad sent me on a little quest to catch some nymphs for some reasons. You'll wait?"
I chuckle. "Yep. But why do you always wear a toga when you are doing one of dad's missions?"
Nico rub the back of neck while his face turn red. "Phersophone is always getting mad that I came to visit so she made this as a joke for herself so she would be at less happy whenever she sees me." Nico shrug. "Dad doesn't like it."
I chuckle. "Well, tell your step-mom thank you. You look adorable." Nico's face grew even redder. I never notice how cute he is. How he puff out his cheeks when he's frustrated. The way his nose would scrunch up along with his brows furrow together. The way how that black toga compliment him so well. I smirk. "Adorable. It's like you still have that crush on me. What about Willy?"
"Shut it Jackson. I'll meet you at camp in a bit." Then he wave the mist away. A small laugh escape from my mouth.
"So cute."
I close the window before exciting my room. I went to the kitchen and grabs my gloves and bennie off the table where I left them at from last night episode. I squeeze my hands a couple a times, watching them in front of me. Last night was not fun.
"Percy?" I look behind to see mom. She smile kindly to me. "You going to Annabeth's?" I shook my head. Mom raise a brow. "Camp?" She sounded uncertain.
"Yeah mom. It's Nico's birthday and I'm going to visit him at camp. Spend time with him." I smile. Mom nodded and smile back.
"Okay Sweety." Getting on her tippy-toes, mom kiss me on the forehead. "Be safe okay? And tell Nico I wish him the most Happy Birthdays ever."
I chuckle. "Okay mom." With that, I left the apartment, yelling out goodbye to Paul in the living room.
I just can't wait to see the little one. He's probably not little anymore. Maybe.
~my birthday demi~
I walk past Thalia's tree and under the Half-Blood Hill arch. I stretch my arms up to the sky. It's pretty snowing outside of the barrier. Within is calm as always with the white snow covering the ground and the roofs of the cabins.
Quiet fill the camp. Some campers run around throwing snowballs each other. They look about the age ten or twelve, in between the ages. I smile to myself as I remember when Nico was ten and the first time I meet him. He use to have suck a big smile before.
I enter the Big House, yelling, "Chiron! I'm home!" A loud groan ran through the three story house. I bust out laughing. "Mr. D!" I walk into the living room where Chiron and Mr. D sat at playing pinochle. I took a seat on the couch, smiling like an idiot. "Who's winning?" It was a stupid question but I love it when Mr. D gets made when even Chiron answer.
"Like always Percy, I'm winning," Chiron answer with a smirk in his beard. Mr. D groan as he stands up and walk to wine cabinet. Chiron sat back in his wheel chair. "But you seem to be in high spirit. What got you all up?"
I bounce once. "Nico. I'm here to see Nico." Chiron's smile turn sad. I blink. "What is it?"
Mr. D starts clicking his tongue. "This isn't going to be good." He pour himself a glass of red wine, instantly turning into water. He groans but drinks it anyway. "Are you going to tell poor little Jenson here what happen or am I going to pop his bubble?"
I look at Chiron. "And now im one of the Jensons. What is he blabbing about?"
"I would love to create some misery here," Mr. D continues.
Chiron clears his throat. "Mr. D, can you bring Rachel to me."
"I'm already here." We all look behind me. Rachel stands there with her splatter paint coat and her red hair stuff under a black beanie. She wound the couch and sat beside me. She place her coat on her laps before she grabs my lefty in both her hands. Rachel sighs. "We need to talk about Nico."
I raise a brow. "You're hands are full of paint." She softly laugh. "What about Neeks?"
"Um...," she licks her lips, "he's not here." She pause, waiting for me to say something.
"Of course he's not here. He's on a little quest his dad gave him." Rachel exchange looks with Chiron. I ran my righty through my hair. "What is it?"
"A little quest from his dad?" I nodded. "Where did you here that?"
"From Nico when I Iris Message him before coming here. Why?" Rachel seem to stubble a bit. Opening and closing her mouth as her eyes flick between Chiron and me. She squeeze my hand.
"Percy," she says softly, "Nico can't retrieve or give Iris Messages. He's...he's..." Her voice fail. What is she trying to say? Rachel gave a huge breathe. In one go, "Nicoisgoneandwedontknowwhereheisandwedontknowhowheis." I blink.
"What?"
"We might think he is dead," Mr. D burst out. Rachel slap her hands over her face.
"Mr. D!" Chiron shout. Mr. D shrugs. Chiron looks at me and saw the face I'm wearing. Denial written all over it. "That's not what Rachel is trying to say Percy. Nico was taken away from someone that works with one of the gods and he's...somewhere."
"How long have he been gone?" I ask.
"Beats us," Mr. D shrugs. "When did he disappear?"
Chiron shook his head. "Mr. D wasn't here at the time because of the big meeting after the war. But um,...it was a week after. A few days after his rest and the control of his powers. I don't know but he was still weak and...he couldn't do anything."
I shift my eyes to the photos on the walls. Letting my eyes wonder absent-mindly. I don't understand how they are explaining. I just talk to Neeks. I look at Rachel. "What do you mean?"
She bit her lip and sigh. She grabs my hand again. "Nico was taken away by an angel and-"
"Angel?!" I snap my hand back. "What do you mean by angel? Like the Angel of Death? Di-di-did Thanatos came for him?" I stood up. "Did he?!" I rub my hands through my hair.
Rachel stood up too. Dropping her coat without a care in the world. "No! That's not what I meant." She shook her head. "That's what we are not saying!"
"Who said anything about 'we'?" Mr. D mutter. He looks down to the ground and frown. "Do you feel that? There's a storm brewing." He clicks his tongue. "I'm going to go. See you later Chiron." In a flash of grape vines, he disappear.
I pointed to his chair. "Why did he leave? Doesn't he have some explaining too?" I look at Chiron who exit out/off his wheelchair. He stubble towards me, placing his hands on my shoulders.
"Perseus, please calm down." I raise my brow. "I know you are worry about Nico but-"
" 'But'?! Chiron, Nico was taken away in the summer. It's December!" There is a small shake to the house. Rachel sat back on the couch. More like trip back on. "Taken from an angel. The only angel I'm thinking about is Thanatos! With his large black wings and gold eyes. HE'S THE GOD OF DEATH! BASICALLY THE ANGEL OF DEATH!"
The whole house shook as I hear water splashing outside. Chiron stubble a bit. Rachel grip onto the couch from falling. But I, I stood there perfectly fine, not noticing what's happening. A buzzing, a throbbing motion form at the back of my head. Blocking everything around me.
"Percy, calm down!," yell out Rachel. "It's not what you think!"
I glare at Rachel. " 'What you think'. You know what I think? I think that Nico is DEAD! Are you telling me that he is still alive?!" Rachel open her mouth to say something but close it. "THERE YOU GO!"
The ground shook violently. Water splashes just outside the house. Things hanging on the wall starts falling off. Breaking sounds fill the air. I grip on my head, trying to stop the throbbing and the buzzing going around in my head.
A hard tug pull within my stomach. The one that I know it's from my powers. The hard one when things go bad.
I look up to them. Rachel and Chiron are yelling at me while trying to get closer to me. The shaking of the house made it too hard to and also because I'm just backing away from them. I hit the wall, feeling the shakiness from it. Why is the house shaking?
I just want the throbbing and the ringing and the possibility that Nico is dead instead of being with me to spend his birthday with.
Then Rachel jump to me. Reaching out. She fell face flat. Confusion wash over my body as I stare at her. Why in hell did she did that? I took a step to her. Then I hear it.
A crack over my head. Something that sound like it's going to fall. I look up. To see a pair of big brown eyes. I didn't react in time.
Everything went black.
I jolted up. My breathing hard and harsh. Everything blurry and spinning.
I sat there in my own pool of confusion.
What was that dream about?
