Don't drown (Nico di Angelo x OC) [discontinued]

VI.

Hellene's POV

"So, what are you doing here?" He asked after the awkward silence took over.

"I just... I don't know." I simply answered.

"If it's about Lotus--" Nico started but I shook my head.

"It's not that. It's just..." I stared at the river which - to me - seemed like it was glowing.

"Are you okay?" Nico asked a bit worried.

"Yes... Yeah. I'm sorry I got a little bit-" I started but was cut of by the sound of a sword cutting the air.

I looked up to see Nico bravely holding his Stygian iron sword against a Hell hound. He didn't hesitate even for a moment and kept charging at the animal.

"Shouldn't you ask someone for help?" I shouted at him.

"I don't need anyone's help." He threw back at me.

And because for a moment he wasn't consentrated the hound found it's way to him and bumped him in one tree. It was about to eat him as I reacted.

I closed my eyes not knowing what I was doing. Then, I stretched my arms and got the water under my control. It gently circled around me and formed a gazer-like waterfall. After that happened, I smiled and moved my arms so that they faced the giant dog. The water followed my command. It flew at the hound and the dog let out a scream and shadow traveled away.

"Are you okay?" I asked Nico after all that was over.

"I'm fine." He said breathing heavily. Then, he turned his head up to face me and his eyes were wide opened. He smiled. "Seems like someone got Camp's hero for a brother." He announced happily.

And without realizing the amount of broken bones in his body he laughed. I just stared at him because I've never seen him laugh.

"You made Nico laugh?!" I heard a voice as Nico's laughter stopped.

I cursed the person for coming and ruining the moment. It was nice to see Nico laugh.

"Yes, Seaweed Brain." Nico smiled devilishly at him as Percy narrowed his eyes at Hades' son. "Guess who got a sister!"

The last thing I saw was Percy's worried face and Nico's weird stare at me. Then, I drifted into sleep in Nico's arms.
