okay, I've finally built up the courage to continue this. In case you're confused: bold is A/N, and non-bold is what I wrote for the story (in a traumatising sequence of events, i have learnt that i used to put in A/Ns WHILE WRITING THE DRAFTS—)

kay, let's do this before i chicken out.

oh, fuck, this is going to be long. and painful. 

---

Percy's P.O.V [WHY DOES IT SAY THIS CHAPTER IS 3K WORDS- *INTENSE SOBBING*]

I woke up early today, from a dreamless sleep. It was probably my lucky day. [hurrayyyy]

Then I noticed something- a LOT of my money was gone. The first thing I thought was: the Stolls. But then I saw a note: 'Sorry Percy, I need the money. ~Nico.' I shrugged and went outside to a): Just walk around. And b): To ask Nico what he needed the money for. [hehehe buddy, you gon get a lil surprise now~]

I headed to the Hades cabin first. "Hey Neeks." I said as I entered. No reply. I looked over to the bed. Empty. A note. I looked at the note, and read it. [*is trembling* wh-why would you talk to someone w-without knowing if- if they're there-]

[After he read the note] [....what.]

I ran to the Athena cabin, and began furiously knocking on the door. [im just imagining percy going cartoony style, and going THUMP THUMP THOIMP on the door LMAO-]

Annabeth came outside, looking like she just woke up. "What happened." [WHY IS THERE A FULL STOP INSTEAD OF A QUESTION MARK W H Y— *furious crying*]

"This happened." I showed her the note. Her eyes widened. [of course they did.]

"No, no... Big house now." [but yes. also "big house now" what happened to speaking in proper sentences? and tbh this whole scene sounds so fake, it's comical.]

I nodded and ran to call each of my friends and burst into the Big house. [im imagining them all literally exploding into the big house.]

Chiron looked at my expression and asked, "Percy? What's wrong." [no but im talking irl here, i actually had to stop myself from punching the screen- WHAT HAPPENED TO QUEERSTION MARKS BOI]

"Well..." I showed him the note. "This."

"What happened?" Hazel asked. I showed my friends the note. Hazel was crying in Franks shirt, while everyone else was on the verge of tears, or already crying. [i- this is hiLARIOUS how i wrote their reactions. fr im still imagining a bunch of poker faces crying-]

"We have to go look for him." I insisted. [no, bby, we dont. this is so emotionless, i must say, it's making me laugh harder than i should.]

"Percy, if Nico does not want to be found let it be. He will come here eventually.... If he wants to." Chiron explained to us with sad eyes. ["sad eyes" PFFFTT-]

[did i use it right? the "pffft" thing? no this is a genuine question-]

"No." Jason protested. "We can't just leave him there. We have to do something." [no yelling... at all. interesting.]

Chiron sighed. "We could ask the hunters to alert us if they sense his presence anywhere." [he seems like he doesnt WANT them to find nico. chiron, what do you have against di angelo?]

"We can't just rely on them." Hazel argued. "We have to do something more."[*calls up past self* bitch, what happened to proper and grammatical sentences? did you have a stroke reading this or- KUSDHGAIUKHEWUIAKD S FUCKKKK YOUUU *hangs up*]

"Hazel my dear, I know that you are concerned for your brother, but I assure you that nothing will happen to him. He's probably very well armed, since Clarrise has informed me that many weapons in the weaponry have gone missing. I'm sure the hunters will find a way to track him. Besides, he could just be in the underworld with his father." ["hazel my dear" erm what happened to le comma there- this triggers me more than it should.]

Hazel looked hesitant, but she nodded. [hurayyyy #2]

[TIME SKIP TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY] [aight, who kidnapped kronos this time?]

Annabeth's P.O.V. [first Percy POV, then Annabeth POV, whats next? Percabeth POV? now THAT would be something to see lmao *sweats, hoping i didnt actually do that*]

I still hated to believe it. Nico was gone. Again. I was resisting the urge to go and burn down the Apollo cabin, when I came across the Stolls. An idea sparked inside of my head. [YOOOOOO Annie, CHILL- That was just Will *cries in 'but hes a sweet guy in canon'* not the whole goddamned cabin, aNNIE CHILL, I SAY, CHILLE-

"Hey, Stolls. I want to make a deal with you." They exchanged glances. [oh did she meet thee stoll- rightttt, its mentioned in the previous paragraph. i didnt even have to change thee paragraph tbh; what is wrong with me? or am i just being easily triggered here? i think the second but this still cRoInGee]

"What deal?" [who said it- i DID know they're two different people right- DID I KNOW THAT-]

"10 drachmas for pranking Will the worst ways you can one week straight." [*scREEAMS* JUST SPEAK PROPERLY FOR FUCKS SAKE ITS "I'LL GIVE YOU 10 DRACHMAS IF YOU PRANK WILL THE WORST WAYS YOU CAN" AND "FOR ONE WEEK STRAIGHT" WHAT THE H E L L BROO WHYYY DJBHKWEDJHAISKQW SWHTA THE FUOFKKCJJODFCL]

"15." [see, writing letters would've beeen easier to track. and also, is this travis or connor- *sob becaus why was i such a dumbass*]

"11." [ok- wait whos speaking-]

"14." [im losing track heere, wHO DA FUQ IS THEE ONE SPEAKING-]

"12." [wHO-]

"Deal." [okay so thats the stolls- wAIT WHAT IF ITS ANNABETH- *scream]

[*inteense counting later* ok so "11" was annabeth and "14" was travis n connor n "12" was anniee so the stolls accepted 12- they should be better at negotiating man, at least 13-]

She walked away, She would've been happy, but Nico had run away again. She couldn't be. [is this... is this me trying to write emotion...-?]

[TIME SKIP TO EVENING.] [whys there a full stop- why can i not stick to one format bRo]

Nico's P.O.V. [yeesh im so ✨shooketh✨]

So far, I was doing surprisingly well. I had only been attacked by 10 hellhounds and 2 cyclops. [hurrayyy #3]

I was bored so I decided to practice fighting. I summoned ten skeletons and began dueling with them. In one minute, I had defeated all of them. ["dueling" wtf its duelling not 'dueling' b r o  wh a t. also, i feel like this is kinda, ykkk, a little nonchalant for someone who just wAS SO EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED THAT HE RAN AWAY FROM THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS SAFE FOR HIS KIND.. but, hey, im just sayin]

I decided to eat something and began to search for some food in my bag when my fingers caught something. A bow. [how- why- what-]

Well, why not? I thought to myself as I got out some arrows and the bow. [for the record, its been half an hour- almost- since i started- and this is not even 1/8th- can i just quit-]

I raised a skeleton's head as a target and shot an arrow. [just-- just like that u-?]

5 feet off-target. Wow. Mental slow-clap. [i- i dont even know-]

By the next 5 minutes I was still about 1 foot away from my target, though I was improving. [im emotionally exhausted from how stupid my writing used to be. and it's been like less than 500 words i think,, lmao]

I shot again, and this time it hit the skull. Bullseye. [no no no, bullseye would be hitting a small part of the skull- like the eye, or mouth, n all. all you did rn is just hit the target.]

After another 30 minutes I was pretty darn good. Ot as good as children of Apollo or hunters of Artemis, but I was decent and it didn't take 1 whole minute to load an arrow. ["Ot" PLS BRO ITS "NOT" JKDHSLAKKJHKUWEQGHIUWGBEDUKSGBRUEKEFGYRBURED * SC R E A M * JHDUKAS FUCKFUCKFUCK STJOS=WDOHFEIWDSHWEJD SA JUST FUKCINBG DIEE MAN WHAT THE EF CU K ]

[so....i had an anger stroke. dont blame me, im on my period.]

Nice work. [no you.]

Then I realised that about 40 minutes ago, I was going to eat. Wow, I get distracted easily. I ate an apple, and a bunch of grapes. Enough for now. I thought. [*literally shaking- no like irl- tho that might be the AC* is- is that my idea- is that my way of writing ADHD-?]]

Chapter 3: Yay, I have to stay with the hunt |' ^ '| [oh. OH, THERES A CHAPTER THREE I FORGOT TO HIGHLIGHT. THANK GODS. I CAN STOP NOW. THANK THE FUCKING GODS.]

[i think i broke.]

anywayyyyy i hope you enjoyed reading as i had several anger strokes for honestly no reason at all. 

c ya!
