Professor Jackson and the Winged Warrior

Chapter 15: You were young

Blake pov (draco)

Nico, Hazel, and Frank were teaching Percys class. Nico and Frank were sparring while Hazel was on the side pointing out different techniques. "That was an attempt at a Roman disarming maneuver." She said as Frank tried to disarm nico. "Nico blocked it with a Greek disarming block. They don't always work on the roman techniques but obviously sometimes they do." She continued.

That's when things went downhill. Nico paused and Frank cut his arm. Then Nico started to sway. Finally he just fell to the ground. Frank caught him as the wizards began to scream. "EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Piper yelled. Everyone went quiet. The wizards were looking around, confused. "It's called charmspeak." Piper stated. "Come on guys, let's get him back up to the common room." She said.

Frank carried Nico out of the room as Piper turned to the class. "Once again class is dismissed early." She said, shaking her head, then turned and walked out.

The rest of us demigods went out behind her. We all ran up to the common room. Frank was already there, sitting in his chair next to Nico who was laying on the couch. We all sat down in our chairs. When it was revealed that Lily, Claire and I were demigods three new chairs popped up. Claire walked in a minute later.

We were all used to Nico and Percy collapsing so we just waited. Eventually Nico began to say things. "Annabeth" He said but it's not like he was crying out for her it was like he was demanding she do something. Then he began to toss and turn. "No," he said. Then he winced. Then he began to shake. He shook for five minutes. It was like he was having a seizure. At one point during it thunder boomed in the distance. We were all very worried. Finally he stopped shaking and bolted upright. "Dang it Percy!" He yelled and punched the couch. "Uh hey nico." Jason said. "Oh uh hey. How long was i out?" He asked. "About an hour," I answered. He nodded but looked worried.

"I'm tired. Being in Tartarus drains you. Even if you are passed out. I'm gonna go to my room. No one disturb me. at all. Not even for dinner." He said. "Um okay" Lily answered.

Nico pov

I got up and walked to my room. As soon as I shut my door I grabbed a bag. I filled it with Clothes and some ambrosia I had in my room. I zipped it closed and ran over to a shadow in the corner of my room. I Thought back to when Percy told me where They were.

Flashback

Percy just defeated the third group of monsters which was three cyclops. "Congratulations Perseus. I will send Nico back now. I felt myself fading but it stopped when Percy yelled something. "Wait! I need to talk to him!" Tartarus groaned. "Two minutes. Starting....now" He said. Percy was still on the floor of the area while I was on top of the platform, on my knees. Percy groaned and began running towards the wall. Before he actually hit the wall he jumped and vaulted over it. He continued to vault over monsters until finally he was standing next to me. "30 seconds," Tartarus said. He was glaring at Percy.

"Nico swear on the styx you won't tell the others this." He said. "I swear," I answered. He leaned in and whispered next to my ear. "Clarisse is in trouble. When I wake up I won't be much help. Right now we are in Holland grove. It's like a day away okay?" I nodded.

Flashback over

I shadow traveled to Holland Grove and when I came out of the shadow I saw clarisse fighting two dracanae and a hellhound. She looked about ready to drop and she had cuts all over her face, arms, and legs. "Wake up Jackson!" She growled.

A hellhound was about to pounce but I ran forwards and stabbed it in the back. She turned to me with a surprised look. The last Dracanae was right behind her, about to slash her with its claws. "Duck!" I yelled.
