You guys are going to hate me. Please don't kill me.

Npov

After eating, I decided to take a nap. I went to my room but saw a note on the nightstand. I walked over to it, but it was too sloppy for me to read.

"What the...."

Then someone knocked on my door.

"Will, come look at this. Someone left me a note....but I can't read it."

Who I assumed was Will walked right next to me.

Something cold was jabbed into my side. It flared with pain, and I collapsed, gasping.

I looked up to see Octavian holding a bloody knife.

Octavian grinned before he ran off. Soon a servant walked in and gasped. She dropped the platter she was holding. "KING WILLIAM!" She screamed.

I touched my wound. When I brought my hand up, it was covered in blood. Tears filled my eyes.

Will came running in. "What happened?!" He yelled. "I NEED HEALERS!"

A couple moments later the palace healers jogged in with a stretcher. Then carefully placed me on it.

"Nico, stay alive, okay? I-I can't live without you. Don't die on me!" Will's voice cracked.

I looked at my wound. My shirt had turned red.

"I know it hurts, Nico, but please, stay alive!"

I nodded a little, but winced. I felt sick when I moved.

"Oh gods....s-stay alive....please...." Will was crying. Then I passed out. But before I did, I felt him take my hand and squeeze it.

------will's point of view------

We had just finished eating and Nico went to his room to take a nap. I went to mine. My room was right next to his, so if he needed anything, I would be there for him.

(A/N: I almost typed (accidentally) "I would be there for Jim" but I went back to look for spelling mistakes and found it. )

I was sitting on the floor, staring at a wall, wondering what I should do.

I'm bored.

Go talk with Nico.

Nico's asleep.

Then read a book.

The books are in Nico's room.

Oh. Well I'm stumped. What do you want to do?

Ugh.

I continued to stare at the wall until I heard someone scream my name. I jumped up and ran over to Nico's room, where a servant was standing with her hand over her mouth and a platter on the floor.

That can't be good, can it? I ran in the room and my heart stopped.

Nico was on his knees, his shirt soaked with blood. His fingertips also had blood on them, so I figured he had touched the wound.

"What happened?! I NEED HEALERS!"

The next hour went by in a blur. I vaguely remember healers carrying him to the castle infirmary on a stretcher. I was crying. I remember telling Nico not to die. I couldn't handle it if he did.

His tail was still as they carried him into the infirmary. His ear were back.

"Oh gods...." I whispered. I wondered who could have possibly have done this.

My dad...? No he's in prison.

I looked at the fireplace. On the mantel, there was a tiny ceramic octopus.

An octopus.

An octopus?

OCTAVIAN!

Octavian had done it! It was obvious! He's hated Nico ever since they met! But killing him....that sounds a bit big.

Like, 'oh you annoyed me that one time, so im gonna kill you now'.

That's seems dramatic. But then again, Octavian was dramatic.

"I need guards." A servant nodded and ran into the hallway. A couple seconds later guards marched in. "I need you to find Octavian...."

What's Octavian's last name? He never told me.

They nodded and marched away again.

Oh well. Maybe they don't need a last name.

A nurse walked up to me and said, "You can see him if you want. He hasn't woken yet, but he will survive." She looked at me, smiling, "He's a fighter, you know."

"Yeah, I know." I smiled in admiration.

"Anyway, we need to keep him here until Tuesday. To get rest."

I nodded and jogged to the room Nico was in.

Nico was paler than usual, probably because of blood loss. He was looking better, though. His ears weren't pressed against his head anymore, and his tail was moving slightly. His side was bandaged.

I sat in a chair by his bed and put my head in my hands. After fifteen minutes of staring at Nico,waiting for him to wake up, his eyes finally fluttered open.

"Nico! You're awake!"

He laughed. "Yeah, I did."

"Oh gods....I thought....I thought you were gonna die on me."

"Nah, I wouldn't die that quickly. Not after everything else I've been through."

I felt like flying. 

He's going to survive.
He's going to survive.
He's going to survive.
I can't believe it!

I hugged him, tears of joy filling my eyes. I was careful not to touch his wound.

"I love you, Will." He said.

My heart did a dance. "I love you too, Nico. So, so much."

He pulled away and I beamed at him. He smiled a tiny.

AWWWWWWWW!

"Oh gods, you're so cute!"

He blushed and looked away, "Am not."

"Are to."

"I hate you," he said, but I knew he didn't mean it.

"Well, hate and love are so close, people get them mixed up all the time."

He scowled at me. I laughed.

Then the nurse walked in. "King William, may I speak with you?"

I looked at Nico to make sure he was okay with it before I said, "Sure."

"Follow me please."

I followed her out of the room. Once we were in the hallway, her expression turned very serious and worried.

"Yes?"

"King William-"

"Call me Will."

"Okay. Will, Nico has nightmares. I don't know what they are. Do you have an idea?"

"Yes. He was taken from his family when he was little, " I remembered. "He probably has nightmares about that."

"And he said a name....Bianca, I think it was."

"His sister. We think she's dead."

"Okay. I just wanted to make sure you knew." She paused, "I'm Lou Ellen by the way."

Heyyyyyy do you forgive me? Like I said, please don't kill me.
