Chapter 5
I COULDNT LOSE MY IDEA.
LETS GOOOOOO
Nico's POV
I woke up and I was bound to the table I saw. So it wasn't a dream. Dammit. I shifted, trying to see how tight the straps were. Let's just say I could barely move. I tried shadow traveling but my energy felt completely drained. All of a sudden I felt a huge rush of pain wash over me. I looked down and saw my jeans were soaked with blood on my thigh. How did I not notice before? Was I that out of it? I felt the pain again when I shifted my leg and I yelled out. Persephone came strutting in.
"About time. Its been a day. Not even stabbing you would wake you up. That smell was supposed to keep you out for an hour. I forgot how small your body is, I guess I sprayed to much."
Its been a day? That's bad. I wonder how long it'll take before Percy realizes something's wrong when I don't come back. She walked over to the cart I saw earlier and picked up a dagger. She dipped it in what I assumed was poison. I struggled more, hoping the straps would magically break. She turned and came towards me.
"Stay away from me! Don't you dare touch me!" I yelled at the bitchy goddess.
Persephone just smiled deviously and walked right up to me. I was breathing hard and my chest was rising up and down quickly. Death never bothered me, but dying scared the living shit out of me. She set it down and grabbed some scissors, cutting off my shirt and tossing it to the floor. She gripped the dagger once again and examined me, trying to decide where to stab me. She dug it into my side, the poison burning like acid. My lips were bleeding from me trying to hold back the screams. I felt her drag the dagger down my side, towards my stomach. The poison was off the dagger and now flowing through my systems. The blade was now shinning crimson from my blood. I was breathe hard as I fought back the screaming and the tears. I refused to cry. Not in front of her. It would only make it worse.
"But Nico," she said like she read my mind. "It would make it so much better. You can just stop loving Percy and go live at the Roman camp. Despite me being Greek, I've taken a liking to the praetor, Reyna, I believe."
"Hell no. I will never stop loving Percy."
"Fine. If he truly loved you, he'd be here in four days," she gave me an evil smile. "before the poison kills you."
My eyes widened and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack. She left and locked the door, as if I was leaving. Four days. Four days for Percy to get his ass down here and save me. What if he didn't come? What if I died? Would I be with my mom and Bianca again? What ifs swarmed my head. I fell asleep listing off my worries.
Percy's POV
I haven't heard from Nico yet. I didn't want to iris message cause he could either me talking with his dad or sleeping. Its only been a day and I crave his touch. I slipped under the covers without the extra warmth beside me.
Nico thrashed in Persephone's arms but she already pushed him into a room and locked the door. He sat there, on the ground, looking up at her. Nico didn't have his sword, so he was defenseless. He stood and took a look behind his back. There was a metal table with leather straps. There was also a cart next to it but he didn't have time to see what was on it before some spary came out from somewhere and Nico crumbled to the ground.
I woke up screaming for Nico. That couldn't have been fake. Something was wrong. I quickly changed and washed up before grabbing some breakfast and heading to Chiron.
"Chiron! Can I go to the Underworld?"
He looked at me confused. "What business do you have there?"
"Nico left two days ago and I had a dream that something bad had happened to him and I want to make sure he's ok."
"Well alright. But if Nico's in trouble, you should go get-"
"I DONT NEED A DAM PROPHECY. BYE."
I ran back to my cabin and packed for the journey. I had to find an entrance while Nico could just shadow travel down. I stepped out of the borders and went to find an entrance.
YEAH PLOT LINE
BYEE
