Ashton POV-
So school has been in session for two hours now and I have seen that Nico kid in both my classes. Apparently he's new and he's creeping me out. Why does he keep staring at me? Geez I know I'm not attractive but it's not nice to stare...it's not my fault I look like something a dog barfed up.
Now you are probably think 'ooooh girl he likes you!!!!' But no you haven't seen the way he's looking at me. He looks....complexed. Like something about me is making him think long and hard about a touchy subject... I just don't know what to make of it. And every-time I catch him and he realizes I'm looking he looks worried and then turns away only to look again when I'm not paying attention. What's his problem? What ever. He'll be away from you once he makes friends. 'And you still be all alone...' My mind squeezes into my jumbled thoughts. I tell my self to shut and focus on my school work. Which is just what I do.-----------------Time skip------------------
It's lunch time and I'm siting out side by a tree listing to MCR's song Black Parade. I don't eat a lot in hope on day it will finally kill me but unfortunately my body still stays healthy. That boy, Nico, comes and sits next to me by the tree.
"What do you want?" I ask pissy.
"What's with the attitude...can I sit next to you?" Be retorts mimicking me.
"Don't you get it? I'm the outcast. I'm trying to protect you from the jerks of the school."
"Oh I noticed. But I don't care....hey why aren't you eating..." He asked suddenly concerned.
"I already ate." I lied.
"Lier. You didn't. That's bad for you. It's unhealthy."
"Why do you care?" I say sassily.
"Because I don't want to see you get hurt..." He whispered.
"You only just met me. My health doesn't concern you."
"Hey babe!" A deep toned voice said in the distance.
I look up for a second to see Brice, the school football captain, standing above me with his buddies all smirking.
"What do you want Brice?" I said annoyed. Nico suddenly become quiet after hearing the words"babe."
"Who's this boy with my sweet sugar pie..?" He says everything in a calm voice that would make any average girl swoon besides for when he refers to Nico.
"A friend." I answer.
You also may have noticed why I'm not refusing the Brice talking to me like I'm his girlfriend, but if not I'll tell you. Brice is the guy that goes for the weak girls just to break them and won't stop "dating" then till they snap. I have tried to fake it but he always knows what is right and what is wrong.
"Come on Ashton lets go we have to talk again." As he says this he licked his lips meaning there was trouble.
"Go ahead Ashton...don't leave your boyfriend waiting." Nico said quietly.
I glared at Nico with all I had. But then Brice picked me up bridle style not waiting for his group.
"Brice let me go. We have been through this." I say entirely annoyed.
"I know but I can't. I need to satisfy my hunger..." He whispered.
As soon as I heard this I panicked. I tried to get out of his grasp but he wouldn't let go.
That's when I saw razor claws come at me. Next thing I know, I'm surrounded by darkness.
Nico's POV-
I was mentally slapping myself for not getting up and going after that Brice kid and Ashton. I need to protect her. That's what I'm here for. She's a demigod; a powerful one at that; and I have to get her to camp before it's too late...
I get up to throw my food out and follow them. I have a bad feeling about this Brice guy. 'Nobody can touch her...' I think to myself. After I realize I said this I instantly blush madly.
I find Brice in the back of the school, Ashton lying on the floor bleeding. Brice swiftly turns toward me. I see his face.
Houston we have a problem.
He was hairy and was snarling and baring his teeth at me. Then I noticed his claws. His huge, black, pointy claws, which books dripped onto the ground near Ashton's motionless body.
"Crap! I'm too late! You are going to pay!" I screamed at this so called Brice while pulling out my sword.
"Oh my my. Is the little son of Hades going to threaten me with a tinny Stygian Iron sword? What a failed attempt. Doesn't matter now I've already killed your precious demigod. I'll escort my self out." He stabbed himself with his claws and disappeared into golden dust.
I put my sword away and ran over to Ashton. I knew she would would wasn't dead. I didn't feel here soul leave her body. But I don't think I felt a soul before...I don't even feel one now... Oh no I have to get her to camp!
I shadow travel us to camp half blood. I see percy practicing and I scream out to him,
"PERCY! HELP! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!"
Percy turns quick to face me from the other side of camp and we both start running to meet each other half way.
On the way to meeting up, caring Ashton bridle style, I say to her,
"Don't worry it's going to be alright. I'm going to save you, from the inside and out..."
Percy takes Ashton to the infirmary and I get Chiron, Will, and Annabeth. Soon we all meet up to discuss about Ashton and call her parents to tell them not to worry that she's at camp. They already knew of the situation but we still had to notify them.
What shocked me the most was that they didn't even care. What actually happened at Ashton's home? Why didn't she have a soul? Why is she hurt? Could she be broken too...? If she's broken can I fix her even if I can't fix myself..? These are all questions in willing to find the answer to.
