„See you tomorrow" my ass! He had been asleep for about 30 hours now, but he really needed it. And I kind of needed it too, to think about what he had told me. I mean, Tartarus? No wonder he didn't want to be touched. But still, whenever my hand laid on his arm, I had this feeling... like a million butterflies were flying around in my stomach. I rejected the thought and got ready for archery class. As I walked towards the place for archery, I thought about what Coach Hedge had asked me to do. Mellie had just had her baby and he took me aside. He told me about what Nico had done to himself with that shadow-travelling. "If you see him, help him, boy. Maybe he doesn't know it, but he really needs help." I'd nodded, determined to help Nico.
The archery lesson was a disaster. Maybe I was horrible with a bow, who knew. Sometimes I really wished I could fight like everyone else, like Nico. He'd knocked out six armed Romans, in his state! I jogged back to the infirmary and went to Nico's bed. I took a moment to just watch him. Him and the dark hair that fell into is closed eyes. I slowly reached for his shoulder and gently touched his shoulder. „Hey death boy, wake up!"
And then he freaked out.

I know I told you this would Not happen again. But my mental state said nope, I am sorry. I will try to come back to every two days. I hope you can forgive me, I put my drawing of Samirah in here.
