Nico's PoV 

I fell through the shadows, tears still falling down my face. Shadows pulled at me, blindly shadow traveling is worse than normal, I can't see... why is that? Oh... the Stolls probably did it. I heard giggling before, and then when they saw me panicking, they ran to me...

I made a silent promise I would kill them when I get back. But now I had another problem.

The shadows finally released me... in a room full of mortals. By the sound, I landed on a dinner table, which meant it was dinner time... or I'm in another country.

I hope I didn't go too far...

I heard some screams as I landed, and heard everyone pull out something from their pockets. Weapons?

The person closest to me started to speak. "Who are you, and how did you find us?"

It was a man, he had a nasal voice, and he was standing next to someone else... wait... not all of them are mortals... a werewolf? And the man sounded British? Please don't tell me I came all the way to England?...

I groaned, and the man pressed something long, and hard to my neck. "Answer my questions!" He sounded like he wasn't afraid to hurt me if I did something... but what was up against my neck that he made seem so dangerous?

I sat up and then sighed. "Can you possibly tell me where I am so I can leave? I think I made a wrong turn somewhere..." I could feel the tension in the room, the man in front of me pushed his weapon towards my neck even farther than it already was.

Then everything took a turn to the weird. "Aparecium." The man muttered, and I felt something tickle my neck. What? "Why did you say to become visible? can you not see me?" (fun fact, aparecium comes from the Latin word appareo, meaning 'to become visible')

The man was apparently very confused, and I felt him take his weapon off my neck. "why aren't you looking at me boy?"

I sighed for the billionth time today and started explaining. "Well, I was minding my own business, when I fell asleep on the beach where I live, then apparently those two troublemakers I call friends decided to play a prank on me, and now I cannot see anything. I was panicking, fell backward, and then fell here." I could feel their stares now, and then one of the men near me asked, "what troublemakers do you mean?"

I leaned backward, and then answered sassily. "Why should I tell you?" Oh no Persassy is rubbing off on me...

I could almost feel him rubbing his forehead in annoyance. He sighed and then answered. "We need to know because we might know them."

Then I popped out a random question. "What country am I in?"

...I feel as if I said the wrong thing. Everyone in the room burst out talking at once, adding question after question, when one of them stood out.

I snorted at one of the men's questions. "What's a... Death eater?... who would eat death?" I giggled at the weird name, and then felt sorry for Thanatos, he had to deal with mortals saying his name so much...

My question made them all shut up. I guess if you think about it, it's a bit weird for a 15-year-old boy dressed in all black to fall out of the roof onto your kitchen table, and then ask what country it is. I wonder what the mist made them think? And what the Hades is a 'Death Eater'?

I could feel them staring at me, even if I still couldn't see. The werewolf next to the man in front of me was still silent, why hadn't he attacked me yet? was he paralyzed or something?

A man behind me was definitely mortal, but I could sense magic in his eye... maybe he had an item made by Hephaestus? But why would a mortal have one of those?

Then the werewolf said another word in Latin. "Accio wand"

Everyone was confused by now, why would he summon a wand? Is he one of the Romans? But no... they wouldn't let a werewolf into their camp... would they?

The werewolf spoke again. "Severus, what is going on? How did a 15-year-old boy fall through the shadows and land in here? There should be no way in! We put up every spell imaginable!"

Wait... can they all see through the mist?!

The man in front of me answered, "Remus, we should make sure he is secure so he can't escape before we question him more, we will wait for Dumbledore."

So the man in front of me is Severus, and the werewolf is Remus. I just need to know where I am, figure out how to leave, and then murder those Stolls...

Severus grabbed my arm and hauled me up roughly. So they can obviously see through the mist and have a British accent, maybe we are in the UK somewhere? I hope not, but its a possibility I can't overlook. I will have to wait to get enough energy to shadow travel again, I'm really exhausted from that...

Severus said nothing as we walked, and we took a turn right, and he led me into a room and sat me down on a bed and then tied me up. "Hey!" I exclaimed in surprise as he bonded my hands together tightly. "can I at least know what day and time it is?"

I sigh, maybe he already left the room? I jumped as I heard his voice right next to me. "It's Saturday, 8 PM."

Oh, Styx.... everyone must be frantic looking for me... It really took me a day to get here?! Will is probably so worried... Oh, Gods what do I do?!

I didn't even notice the tears rolling down my cheeks, but I guess Severus did, because he awkwardly patted my shoulder, and tried to get me to stop crying.

I got ahold of myself and then asked him another question. "Severus right?" I guess he nodded, but then he remembered my temporary blindness and said yes.

"Why were you talking about spells and wands?" he didn't answer that one... I guess it's not a good thing I heard that? I decided to try something.

"Είστε ένας ημίθεος;" I spoke in Greek, maybe they are? I'm 99% they are just mortals... but it's a small possibility.

"...What language was that?" Well, I guess they aren't demigods then.

I stayed silent and prayed to my father to send help. I have no idea how long I could be trapped here. I didn't want to sleep without Will... my nightmares... I need to go home, and get the Stolls to fix my eyes, then... then what?

I felt the air in front of my face move, and I jerked out of my thoughts. "hmm?' I hummed.

"Why do you keep rocking on the bed?" Severus asked quietly. I guess I could answer this question, but after this, I'm finding a way out.

"I have ADHD, so it's a bit hard to stay still." I rocked back and forth on the bed, then started fiddling with my ring. Well, to be specific, my engagement ring.

I wish I could look at it right now... I guess Severus noticed my ring, and he spoke up "What's the ring for? It looks pretty expensive."

"Well... It is my engagement ring..." I think he might have fallen off the bed... He quickly stood up, but then loudly yelled "what?!"

If him making that loud noise by falling wasn't enough, he had to yell, which brought two pairs of footsteps running towards the room we were in. It was the one with the Magic eye and Remus.

"Severus what happened?!" he exclaimed, now on guard, probably staring at me.

I spoke up before he could. "He fell off the bed when I told him something, it was quite funny." I laughed at him a bit, and I felt Remus calm down a bit, he was still on guard, but he had relaxed a bit.

The man with the magic eye decided to ask. "So what was so shocking that you actually got a reaction from him?..." I guess Severus finally came out of the shock, and faced them, pointing at my hand.

"He is engaged..."

I could almost hear their jaws drop.

"....What?"

I decided to take this opportunity, while they were all staring at Severus, I slipped the handcuffs I had already untied off, and lay down, stretching my arms out. My previous shadow travel wore me out, I need to sleep... but my nightmares...

My body decided not to listen to my internal argument, and I drifted off... to a land of blood and torture.
