I've been in England for two weeks now and it's fair to say that the people here are crazy! First of all, what with all the tea? I hate it here I just want to go back to Long Island, I want to go back to Will. We've been iris messaging and when we run out of drachmas we Skype. It's great to talk to him but I miss the way he stroked his hand over my hair when I was sleeping or how I could feel the heat radiating from his body when we hugged. I miss that almost sweet taste of his lips that would dance across my lips for days after we kissed. Gods just thinking about him makes me sigh. I wish he was here or that I was there. He'd love it in London, it's so busy and in a different way to New York, but it's also grey and dark.
"Anyways, babe I gotta go. It's like 4 in the morning here!" Will yawned on my screen
"Yeah, I should get to bed too, school tomorrow." I exhale heavily and Will laughed
"On Sunday?"
"Yeah, I'm moving in. It's a boarding school remember" I roll my eyes and he laughs. The sound makes my heart flutter
"Come on Neeks" I smile just at the old nickname "it's not going to be that bad! Just persevere!"
"I just wish you were here, it would be so much better with you!" I frown at the webcam and Will sighs
"Ditto..." The silence seemed to linger a little to long before I coughed and Will looked up again and yawned
"Babe! I really got to sleep! Call me when you get settled tomorrow, okay?" I nod and he smiles, kissing his webcam
"I liss you!" He whispers. I laugh, Will drunk texted me when I'd first arrived and instead of typing I miss you or I love you, he combined them and since then it's become our thing
"liss you, too Will. I'll call you." I said hanging up. My room was so quiet, only the traffic outside to keep my mind constantly buzzing. I walked over to the window opened it and looked down. The seemingly constant drizzle was wetting the Tarmac below, a sea of black clothed body's and umbrellas flooded the pavements
"You should get some sleep, big day tomorrow!" Persephone's soft voice swaddled me, her arms cocooning my shoulders
"I can't, hotels creepy me out. Too much history with them." My eyes unfocus and I see the infamous lotus hotel and the endless arcade room which became my prison. Then I see the man... I shake my head to get the images out of my mind. I'm safe now, no one is every going to do that to me again, not ever.
"Would you like something to help you sleep?" My stepmother asks me, I shake my head.
"Okay, well if you need me I'm across the hall. I'm right here okay?" I nod again and as she turns to leave I turn and hug her. It doesn't feel strange like I'd expect it to, it feels right, normal even.
"I just miss him so much!" I sob and she coos and pats my back
"I know, I know. It's all been so sudden, so much change. I understand ,you know, what it's like being taken somewhere you never wanted to be in the first place." I look up at her and of course I know what she means, being abducted and held prisoner in my fathers palace. We spent the next few minuets in silence and when Persephone got up, I could see tears in her eyes
"Persephone?" I asked but she simply turned away
"You must get your sleep Nico, or your father will be very unhappy!" Her tone became almost bitter but was overcome by sorrow.
"Alright, I shall see you in the morning."
"Goodnight, child." She left the room and I changed, keeping my boxers on and pulling on Wills old camp t-shirt. It smells like home. I slipped between the crisp white sheets. The dream was equivalent to the ones I had had in the Hypnos cabin, first very thing was a bright white, I could feel warmth.
"Nico..." I could hear him hum, "are you awake?" He whispered, taking my bed hair between two fingers and curling around his hand.
"If I wake up, do you got away?" I asked, keeping my eyes closed
"Not if you don't want me to" his voice was so light, so easy. My eyes fluttered open and he was glowing. His blond hair ruffled up and him looking amazing. We were on a bed, I'd never been here before. Everything was white and clean.
"Is this real?" I asked as he kissed my neck and then my jawbone, lying on top of me
"That depends" he laughed, making me smiled my eyes closed again
"Oh what?"
"If you'll cry or not?" My eyes flew open, I was face to face with the man form the lotus hotel. I screamed, kicking and flailing and when he wouldn't get off me I just gave up and sobbed and turned my face the other way. Please. Please not again.
"Nico!" I shook my head, wanting him to stop saying my name, wanting him to just stop "Nico, it's me!" The voice was different this time, softer "Nico wake up, it's Persephone!" I opened my eyes, hesitantly. Not wanting to see his face again. But instead they settled upon the beautiful woman, it was Persephone.
"You're okay" she embraced me, holding me tight as I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to get the images to stop, trying to get him out of my head "its okay, it's going to be okay" her soothing voice rocked me and I hugged her back.*/Authors Note\*
