Interesting Encounter

Chapter twenty five

Nico

I watch Hazel talk, listening to her voice and the way she walks and plays with her hair her beautiful beautiful hair... She was so pretty, the way her eyes sparkled and her laugh, oh gods that amazing laugh. Shit I sound like a boy in love, and I am, but just not with my sister. My sister. 

"Nico," Percy said but I barley heard him, I was watching Hazel. "Nico!" Percy said again waving a hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my trance and turned to him. "Nico, are you sure that's Hazel, I mean, wasn't she like one when your dad...?" Percy said looking nervous, he knew he was treading on thin ice bringing my dad into this. 

"Yes Percy, that's her. I'm positive. I'd recognize her anywhere. Recognize her eyes, her hair, her facial features, her voice, that's her Percy." I spoke softly as to not let anyone hear. "Yes but Nico, I mean... Come on! What's the chance that she would just magically show up a this school and like...?" Percy said sound doubtful. His words filled me with anger, this was my sister. My sister. Why couldn't he just be happy that I found her?

"Are you saying I can't tell my sister from just any other girl?! Percy do you even understand this!?" I said aggravated. "No, no, babe calm down. I was just saying that it isn't likely that a long lost relative would show up here. How can you be sure it's your sister?" Percy's words made sense, they calmed me down.

 I reached my hand into my pocket and started rummaging around, looking for a very old picture. Percy looked at me confused until I pulled out a crumpled picture. I took it and showed it to Percy, the picture was of a younger me holding a baby Hazel. "There. Tell me there that's not Hazel." I said slowly.

Percy took the picture carefully from my hand and stared at her, even though it was sepia you could tell it was her eyes, bright bold and gold. Not like anyone's else's you would ever see. And the Hazel here, she had those exact eyes. Not a shade different. Just like I remembered them.

Percy sighed "Yea, she has the eyes but..." I glared "But what Percy?! But what?!" "But I don't think you should jump to conclusions, at least see if her dad and your dad have the same name."  I sighed, he was right. But if her dad's name was Hades, or even Pluto... I swear to god.

"Will someone tell me what's going on?! Nico, you have a bunch of sisters I didn't know about?!" Leo said. "Actually, no. Only one sister you didn'y know about, and it's... It's kind of a sore subject." I said quietly "can we talk about this some other time? All you need to know for what I have planned, is that Hazel Levisque is my long lost sister, she most probably doesn't know this herself, and if she doesn't know it then we are pretending we don't know it either."

 Percy looked as though he was about to say something else on the topic when Hazel herself walked up. "Hi, I'm Hazel. I am going around and introducing myself to everyone, so, hi." She said a small smile. Everyone turned to look at me expectantly. Oh sure, cause I'm the real talkative social one. I stood up and held out my hand for her to shake saying "Hello, my name is Nico Di Angelo." I was hopping against hope that she would recognize me.

She looked at me as though she had never met me, my own sister had a look in her eyes as though I was a stranger. My own sister. She doesn't know who I am. It broke my heart, to see her not even give me a second glance as she went around the table shaking hands and exchanging jokes. I just stood there like and idiot starring at where she had just stood.

I could here Hazel talking to Percy fantly from behind. "Oh, your Perseus, your dad founded this place right?" "Yeah." "Oh cool, how is he?" "I...I wouldn't know. He died, a few years ago. I never met him." "I am so sorry! I..." but the voices where getting quieter and quieter.

 I started seeing spots in my eyes. I wanted to blink to make them go away, but my body didn't seem to be responding to my thoughts. I wanted to move and sit at the table, pretending that my sister wasn't sitting in front of my like a normal person would, but my limbs didn't seem to be responding either.

"Nico?" A concerned voice echoed in the far distance, I wanted to yell back to the person in the different but it seemed even my voice wasn't working. I could barley hear the person talking, but one word seemed ot be in there every sentence "Nico?" "Nico you okay?" "Nico!" "Earth to Nico!" Nico. What's a Nico?...

I wanted to ask, to ask what a Nico was but my lips wouldn't form words. Nico. It sounds so familiar. Did I once know something called Nico? Nico. My mind pondered the word as the spots in my eyes started to grow. I barley felt a hand on my touch my shoulder as they grew.

I was able to form one word witch was "Percy." before the spots in my eyes grew even more taking over my vision. The blakness filled my eyes, opened or closed they made no difference. I felt a tremer rush through my body. My limbs went limp. I could feel nothing. And some how, everything went even more black then it was before...

A/N: haha I'm really layering on these cliffy's here aren't I? What do you think? Yay nay? don't say nay just cause Nico blaked out, hehe plot twist!
