Chapter III
After dinner they sat around the campfire together. They all told stories of their past years and told jokes and sang songs. It was then did Percy realize Nico sitting under a tree in the distance staring at a photo of something. "Guys." He tapped Annabeth's shoulder and she followed his gaze. Immediately they all seen where Percy was looking and got up. "Hey Nico!" Percy patted Nico on the back. Nico was too distracted looking at the photo to care. Percy realized the photo was of Nico and Will Solstice. "Hey dude, what's up?" Nico continued to ignore him. Hazel sat down next to him and gave him a hug. He still didn't budge.
"Why don't you come to the campfire, we are making s'mores."
"Not hungry."
"Nico...what's wrong?"
"What makes you think something is wrong?"
Hazel looked at him until he finally looked at her. "Okay fine. Will went on a quest for Apollo two weeks ago and still hasn't come back. I haven't been able to get a hold of him over Iris message and it is beginning to make me worried."
Hazel hugged her brother. "Will is a tuff guy. I am sure he will do fine, Nico. But you can't get yourself so worked up over it. Come on, let's eat some s'mores."
"No, I am not hungry."
"Please Nico," Hazel said "For me?"
Annabeth came over and gave him a hug. "And for me?"
Soon everyone tackled Nico in a group hug. He tried to get mad but he couldn't help but smile. "Alright fine." Nico and the demigods walked back to the campfire, arm in arm, ate s'mores.
