I froze in the doorway, my ears back and my tail still.

Will was sitting in a chair at the dining table. He seemed nervous.

I looked from him to Hazel and back again.

I was speechless, but Will seemed to already know what he wanted to say. "Nico, please listen to me." He said first.

I didn't move, so Will continued.

"I seriously can't live without you. I love you so much! I-"

"Will, I can't lose anyone else." I said, inturpting his speech.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't lose anyone else that I love. First Bianca, then my mother....I don't think I could handle it."

Will came over and gave me a hug.

Suddenly the emotions caught up with me, and not for the first time that day. I sobbed into his shoulder.

"Hey....it's okay. It'll be okay. Shhhh," Will consoled me. "I love you, Nico."

I shook with sobs. Neither of us pulled away. Hazel smiled a little at us, but then she left the room. I think we were both grateful of that.

"Oh gods, I am so sorry for what you had to go through, Nico. It's all my dad's fault. If he wouldn't have taken you, Bianca wouldn't have died, and maybe your mother wouldn't have either." 

"Or maybe they would've died anyway." I sighed, and finally calming down, I pulled away from the hug.

"I still hate him for it." Will grumbled, wiping the last of my tears away.

"You had to go through it too."

"You had it worse, though. I mean...you didn't even get to see her in years..."

"That means I have less good memories of her. It won't hurt as much."

He didn't reply.

He gave me one last hug and, changing the subject, said, "So do you forgive me? Will you come back with me?"

I didn't say anything for a bit, and I saw Will getting more worried by the second.

"Yeah. Okay. Let me tell Hazel."

"Oh my gods, thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me."

I took a deep breath before going into the living room, where Hazel was sitting.

"Hazel? I-I've decided to go back with Will."

She looked up from the book she was reading and smiled, "You forgave him?"

Slowly, I nodded. "Yes."

"Tell me if he hurts you, okay?"

I smiled a little.

I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. "Come on, Will. Let's go." I said.

He took my hand and led me outside after a quick thank you to Hazel. He skipped all the way back, much to my annoyance, as I already had to speedwalk to keep up with him when he isn't skipping. Now I had to practically run.

But as we walked in, we bumped into Octavian, again. Why was he always in the worst spot?

Octavian snarled, "You're with him again?" He growled to Will.

I put my ears back. Will stepped in front of me protectively.

"Nico, I thought I told you not to be with him!" Octavian said, this time to me.

"Nico, don't listen to him." Will argued.

"He hates you! He's going to betray you!"

"I'm not! I love you!"

I stepped in front of Will again. Will gasped quietly, thinking I had listened to Octavian.

"I see you've finally come to your senses. I can't believe that you ever thought he would love you. He a king, Nico!"

"And I love him." I said quietly.

"What?" Octavian asked, thinking he'd heard wrong.

"I love him. And you're just trying to split us apart! But you're a liar. I love him and-" I glanced behind me at Will "as far as I know, he loves me back."

Octavian roared with anger. Will quickly positioned me behind him. Octavian tried to get to me, but Will wouldn't let him. Octavian punched him.

I yelped, even though the punch was to Will.

"Don't hurt him!" I screamed. Will took my hand, silently signally that he was okay. I was shaking with rage. Octavian grinned, knowing he had won one of many battles. But the war was far from over. Will shoved Octavian away from us. Octavian stumbled and fell. Will called for guards.

When they came, they dragged a screaming and struggling Octavian away.

He yelled insults at Will and warnings to me, but I plugged my ears so I couldn't hear them. Will looked back at me and smiled a little.

When I removed my hands from my ears, he said, "Thank you."

I looked up at him, puzzled. "For what?"

"When you stood up for us. Thank you."

I looked back at my feet, blushing. I mumbled a 'You're welcome' but I'm not sure if he even heard. He took my hand again and headed back on our way.

When we got to my room, I asked if he was okay from where Octavian punched him.

"Yeah I'm fine." He laughed quietly.

"Are you sure?"

"Completely."

I wish I were a doctor so I could've known if he was really okay or not. Unfortunately, I wasn't.

Slowly, I decided that he looked normal so he must be fine.

We sat in silence for awhile.

Little did we know, Octavian was already making plans for escape from the dungeons. He was in a cell with Will's father and they were both hungry for revenge.

I wish we had known.
----authors note----
Hehehehe, you may be wondering why I have so many cliffhangers.
Well, you see, I cannot write any other end unless it ends in 'I love you' or 'I promise.'
So I would expect a lot of cliffhangers in this fanfiction!

I'm still looking or nicknames, so please, if you have an idea tell my in the comments. It doesn't have to be fandom related, it could be something like 'muffins' or something, but I would prefer that it is fandom related.

That was a long authors note.
