Sorry about the last chapter! XD
I just had to do it! Sorry!
----------------------------------------

You wake up screaming.
Nico. . .
He was the only thing running through your mind. You remembered his dead corpse and tears filled your eyes. You tried to calm yourself down.
Take a deep breath. You try to choke back the lump growing in your throat. Arms started to wrap you in warmth. You paid attention to your surroundings. You were in the infirmity of the camp. Percy, Annabeth and Will were all hugging you, telling you to calm down.

"What happen in there?!" They all let you go and revealed a tall blonde boy wearing golden framed glasses. The memories all flood back, vividly. You clutch your head and cringe, an unwanted scream leaving your lips.
"What's wrong?" You hear someone scream out but it was muffled. You could see them back away with fear. What's going on? You thrust out your hand, searching for something to hold onto. Somebody. . .please. Help. . .

. . .Sanity. . .
. . .Slowly slipping away. . .

Desperately trying to grasp it. You clenched your jaw, keeping the screams from sounding. Images flickering in your mind.
"HELP ME!" You hollered, hoping someone could snap you out of it.

No use.

You had to go through this alone. . .
The insanity telling you to. . .kill them. . .kill them all. You felt the urge to use your bare hands.
You lunged at the blonde one with glasses, pinning him down. The first victim. Your insanity, screaming for you to do it. Steps echoing in your ears, "(Y-y/n)! What are you doing?!"
You flung your arm towards the sound, hitting someone with inhuman strength. You heard them hit the wall with the crunch of it cracking.

So close, your insanity was taking over. . .you wanted the blood. . .

Cold arms wrapped around you, keeping you from moving. "(Y-y/n), don't do this." The voice was cracked mid way.
The arms hugging you didn't make you stop, they only. . .angered. . .you.
"Get off." Your voice didn't sound like before. Now it was filled with more hatred and sadness. It was terrifying.
Your growl turning to a scream for blood, you started to sink your nails into the arms of the boy you were pinning, opening your mouth to tear his flesh.
"I'M SORRY. . .!"

You felt a sting grow into burning. You looked down at yourself. A blade burst through your stomach. Covered in your blood. The deep red blood running a path to the point and. . .

Drip. . . Drop. . .
.
.
.

Your eyes go round and your mouth slightly opened in shock. You, barley able to move, turn your head in the slightest. Before your vision could go black, you catch a brief glance. A brief glance of Nico. He stood behind you holding the hilt of the blade. His eyes teary.
I thought you died. . .

You didn't resent him for it. You deserved it. It was the only way to stop you.

Had tartarus stolen yout sanity. . .?
.
.
.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this." His voice was hollow. "Forgive me. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be on the verge of death."

You open your eyes and stare at the ceiling. "I why am I not dead?" You asked, slowly blinking. Why. . .can't I just die?!
"(Y/N)!"
A whimper escapes from you as he hugs you. You hug him back, he was alive.
"Thank you, Nico."
You buried your face by his cheek.

-silence-

"Why did you risk your life for me?" Although your voice was quiet, at the moment, it was demanding.
"Does it matter?"
You gently pushed him away, "it does matter." You sit up and give your hands some attention and notice the, many, scars. Little white scars covered you, from when those things bit you, in tartarus. You observe Nico, who still hadn't said anything. He was staring at the ground, his hair dangling in his face. You hadn't noticed this at first but he was shirtless. Around his stomach were white bandages. A little blood seeped through and was staining them.
He still hasn't healed. How long has it been?
"Why haven't you healed?" You looked away as you asked.
"I don't know. . ."
"How long has it been since we escaped tartarus?"
"About two weeks. . ."
"Nic-"
-knock, knock-
There were knocks on the door.
Nico let go of your hand and opened the door.
"She's awake." You heard Nico's empty voice say.
You got off bed and stood on your feet. The only pain you had was in your stomach. It hurt really bad, but it was something you could ignore. You walked to the door and Will stood before you.
"How are you standing? How do you heal so fast. . .?!"
You couldn't answer his question.
"I'm sorry, Will." You hugged him and he returned it. He was such a warm person. He stroked your hair and picked you up. "You need to rest." He placed you back onto the bed and placed some sheets over you, to keep you warm.
"You must want something to eat. I'll be back."
"I'm fine." You said, getting out of the sheets.
"No, you're not." Nico pushed you back down, gently.
"Thanks, Nico." Will got up and left.

"I said I was fine." Before you could get up again, Nico put himself next to you. "Don't get up."

"(Y/n). . .!" The door opened. Standing there was Percy, Annabeth and Will.
. . .and the boy you assaulted.
"I am sorry." You looked away, wanting to disappear. He didn't say anything. Percy and Annabeth rushed over to you. "We understand." Annabeth said. You winced. . .at the thought, she reminded you of Arachne. What she said about killing Annabeth. . .
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean t-" She stayed still, not getting closer.
"No, it's fine. It's just. . ."
Percy continued to get closer and hugged you. "You can tell us. We're. . .family."
Family. You couldn't help but to think, my family's dead.
"No, I can't!" You snapped. "I just tried to kill my so called 'family!' That's not what we do to family. My. . .family is. . .dead."
Mother.
"Dea-" you cover your mouth as you cough. As you removed your hand you were revealed blood. Your vision starts to falter. Anything past five feet was unclear. Slowly the distance kept decreasing.
"Your eyes are turning red!" You heard.
"Damn it! It's happening again. Everybody pin her down."
Hands grabbed your wrist.

You didn't move.

Your breath was shaky and heavy.

A voice came from you that was not yours. It was different, who did it belong to? "This child is a curse. With this. . .the gods shall pay."
