Leo's POV

"Leo, call an ambulance!"

After hearing that, everything blurred. I ran into my tias office, gasping when seeing her kneeling by Nico on the floor. He was twitching, eyes wide and seemingly in shock. In a panic, I call for help and then rush to his side when they said they were on the way. I gripped Nico's hand, fear spiking in my heart. He flinched at the contact before stopping entirely, eyes slipping shut.

"Don't do this to me.. C'mon Nico you gotta calm down." I whisper shakily.

My tia was saying something to me but I just blocked it out, focusing on Nico.

He was gonna be okay. He had go be...

Nico's POV

Cold.

Cold.

So cold.

Colder

Not cold enough.

I can't feel it.

Where's my pulse?

Heartbeat?

Did I scare myself to death?

No silly. We did.

What?

You simply let us take control.

Others saw it as stories and that's how we told it.

But there's so much more.

It happened too fast.. I can't be gone..

Isn't that what death is like, child?

Cold and wrong?

So fast and happening over something so small?

It was just black emptiness. No thoughts, no consciousness, nothing.

Wait no

No this isn't right

Yes it is child.

You've become me

I've become you

No no no I can't

It's okay

It's fine

I'm dead
