NICO'S POV

Nico mentally slapped himself for letting his memories rule him. He was stronger now, not as weak.

He would never let anyone lay a finger on Percy. Never.

Nico pushed open the doors to the school (A/N: Can you help me think of a name for the school? I've got nothing lol) and walked in.

-Time skip to first class because I'm lazy-

Nico walked into English, his first class of the day. He sat down in a dark corner and glared at the rest of the class.

"Hello class, my name is Mr. Brier and I am your English teacher. Everyone get out your pencils and a piece of paper because it's time for a pop quiz."

Everyone groaned. Day one and a pop quiz already? It didn't even make that much sense. They hadn't learned anything.

"You will all be taking this test individually in my office. Mr. di Angelo, you will be first."

Nico felt his Stygian Iron sword grow heavier in his pocket. The mortals would see it as something else like a belt or something.

Nico rose from his seat and walked toward Mr. Brier's office. When he walked in, he heard the door click shut behind him.

"Nico, we both know why you're here," Mr. Brier said with an evil grin.

"Actually, I don't. If you care to explain..." Nico said.

"Like you, Nico di Angelo, I am Italian," he said with a smirk.

Then, it hit Nico. He'd heard enough Greek mythology to know who this was.

"You're Ambrogio," Nico breathed. "The first vampire."

He laughed richly, his sharp fangs poking out from his mouth.

"Yes, yes, that's me! Apollo cursed me so my skin would burn in the sun and his sister, Artmeis, cursed me so my skin would also burn when coming into contact with silver. However, she took pity on me so she blessed me with immortality and the speed and strength to be a hunter. But that's not important," he hissed. "What is important that I gambled with your father, Hades, and ended up loosing. He has my soul now."

"And what am I supposed to do about that?" Nico asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Get it back!" Ambrogio snapped.

"Yes, well, sorry but if you want your soul back, it's a bit late. Your identity as a traveler in Italy has probably been born into someone else," Nico said flatly.

"Then I have no choice but to kill you myself. Say goodbye, Nico di Angelo."

PERCY'S POV

Percy dumped his bag on the floor, deciding to write his letter to Nico before doing homework.

After all, his love for Nico was stronger than any will to get good grades in school.

Percy grabbed a piece of paper and began writing.

Dear Nico,

No problem about saving your life. I care about you too much to let you die :).

Anyways, we can visit Hades soon. Maybe on Saturday?

Iris Message me as soon as possible. I need to ask you something...

Infinite love,

Percy xx

Percy put the letter in an envelope and wrote Nico's address on it. He really hoped Nico wouldn't be freaked out by the love part.

As far as he could tell, Nico had a crush on him. But was love going too far?

Nah, he decided. After all, Nico had signed off love in his other letter. But was that something all Italians did? Was he going to offend Nico?

Before he could change his mind, Percy jogged downstairs and dropped the letter in the mail slot, the usual ritual of light, screeching, and Hermes in the sky.

He really hoped Nico would reply soon.

I'm really sorry that it was short. It was part of the plot development though 😄

Anyways, I really need feedback. What do you like? Dislike? TELL ME!!!

I know there's not much Perciconess happening right now. Soon, I promise. Like a chapter or two.

Also, keep an eye out for my new HoO story! It'll be called Breaking Through the Night and should be up in a day or two :3.

Until next time,
