Meet the future, Solace-di Angelo

Part 18

A/n: I hope this part isn't confusing, and that I explained everything right. Enjoy!

~~PART 18~~
"So, this is probably going to confuse you, like, a lot." He started. "But you need to know. He has kept you in the dark long enough."
"He?" I asked.
"Your father. Nico."
"What about my other father? Will?" I frowned.
"He has no idea. Poor him, when he'll find out he'll be devastated." He looked down.
"Find out what?" I leaned forward, supporting my elbows on my knees.
"Do you know Nico? Do you know the man who helped raise you?" He sat in the same position as me.
"Yes. Of course. But, answer my damn question." I tightened my jaw.
"Wrong. You don't know him. From now on you will forget everything you know about him, because it's not real." He pointed a finger at me.
"Yeah, Nicolas had always been an excellent actor." Katrina intervened.
I opened my mouth to correct them, since my pap's name is Nicolai, not Nicolas. But the man spoke before me.
"Yes, we know you think his name is not Nicolas. But it is."
"Oh, fuck you! This is fucking bullshit! Quit with the god damn suspense! Tell me now what you want to say or get. me. back. to camp." I abruptly sat up, almost knocking the armchair over.
"Do you think this is easy?!" He rose to his feet. "Do you think I have the smallest clue how to explain this to you?" He glared at me.
"Well, since you brought me here, I figured you had some kind of plan in mind!" I pointed a finger at him.
"I didn't brought you here! Katrina did! They told me last minute! Will you just SIT DOWN and let me TALK." He took a step forward.
"You can talk to me while sitting up." I smirked.
"Do you really want to have concussion? Cuz, girl, you will pass out." He chuckled. I crossed my arms and dropped back into the armchair.
"Gods..." He sat down, too. "You're really difficult, you know?"
"A descoperit Johnuț țăranu America." I whispered.
"What?" He frowned.
"No shit Sherlock. Will you go on?" I asked.
He cleared his throat. "Right. Katrina, I think this is your part." He nodded at them.
They grinned. "Eyes and ears on me, this is going to blow you, and not in a good way."
I snorted.
"As you know, my name is Katrina, Katrina Demoastus. I am a witch. And so are my other members of my family. My dad's name is Damostas, or Damon, my other dad's name is Lanciastus, or Lance."
"You have two dads?" I smiled.
"I mean, remember what i told you. We don't really have a gender. We were here before this 'gender' shit." They rolled their eyes.
"How old are you?" I frowned.
"Patience. Then, I have five more siblings. I am the first born. Then comes my sister Raia, my brother Oranus, brother Magnus, short for Magnastus, brother Aros and finally my favorite, brother Nicolas."
"Nicolas..." I muttered. "Wait. Some of those names sound familiar." I pointed out.
They chuckled. "Yeah. Obviously. Some of us still remain in the human history, while the others wanted no part in it, such as my parents, Magnus, Nicolas and I. The other ones, you might know them under different names. Raia is Gaia. Oranus is Uranus-"
"He really didn't give a thought to that name, did he?" The man laughed. Katrina nodded.
"Anyway, Aros is known as Eros. He didn't think about his name either." They laughed.
"You said you had no gender. How come you're using he and she?" I asked.
"Personal preference. When we last talked, about... 800 years ago those were their preffered pronouns." They shrugged.
"Eigh- eIgHt- what? Wait. Your sister is GAIA?! But she's the Earth Mother! She was the first!" 'They're on drugs' I thought to myself.
Katrina started laughing, silently. "Bravo, you discovered America." They kept on laughing. I remained there, gaping at the both of them.
"Ah, kid, you're killing me. Yes, my family is as old as time. We were 'born' about 1000 years after the Earth appeared."
"I feel like in a Wattpad story." I looked at the man. "Are you gonna try and kill me, but I'll fall in love with you. Then we get married and I discover you're the devil and I'm queen of Hell?" I blinked two times at him. He laughed awkwardly.
"Well, something like that? Without the love part?" I stared at him.
"Brother Nicolas is in charge of all Hells." Katrina said. "Yes, Hells. There's Tartarus, Helheim, Edom, etc. etc." They responded to my unspoken question. "He.. hired? all those rullers cuz he didn't like it anymore. His 'job'. Lucifer, Lilith, Hades, Beelzebub, Hel, Pluto, the list goes on. All hired."
"Stop please. What does that have to do with me?" I pointed at myself.
"You're his daughter. Nicolas's child." The man said.
"No. No.Simply NO. I am not some type of  Y/ n, you got that." I raised my eyebrows.
"Eh..." He smiled awkwardly.
"I don't even have blonde hair!" I threw my hands in the air. "Hold up. Back up. I'm whose kid?" I finally realized what he said before.
"My brother's. Nicolas." Katrina said.
"I will start crying. I don't fucking understand." I put my head in my hands.
"This is your part." Katrina nodded at the guy.
"Bianca. Look at me." I lifted my head. "I am Nicolai Minos di Angelo, son of Maria di Angelo and Hades, god if the Underworld. I had sister named Bianca. She died shortly after we escaped the Lotus Cazino. Or so I was told. Did yout father tell you how we escaped?"
"Yeah. Uncle Percy saved them."
"Well, he left out a detail. When the manticore attacked, it was a perfect time for a diversion. Their brother-" He pointed at Katrina. "-Nicolas, snatched me and took my place as, well, Nico. As he is very powerful, a little under Katrina, he managed to shape-shift into me. To look like me. He took Bianca's death as an opportunity to change the way I acted. To create his own character out of me. Going back to when he took me away, at first he was going to kill me. Later on, he changed his mind. which was a bad decision. He brought me here, to the Sanguis Luxuriae Domus, and let Katrina raise the eleven year old me, while he was out there, playing with everybody."
"You're- he's-?" I tried to connect the dots.
"I am Nico di Angelo. Your father is Nicolas Demoastus. He pretended to be me..." He stopped.
"- because he wanted a normal life." Katrina intervened. Nico looked at them confused.
"I never told you this, but when you were around 14, my brother paid me a visit. It was just after the war with sister Raia. He- he wanted me to wipe every memory of who he was and replace them with Nico di Angelo's real memories. He said he finally got a chance at happiness, a chance at peace and our family would only ruin that. I didn't believe him at first. He was always the most troubled of us. That's why father let him in charge of Hell. He admired him, for his determination, loyalty,... lack of conscience. Once I realized he was dead serious, pun intended, I hesitated. Over the years our family has fought more than a lot. He was the only one I knew I could rely on. I didn't want to lose him, too. But the look in his eyes... tricked me. I wiped his memory. Of course, the moment it was done, I regretted it. I quickly brought him back to Camp. I could not bear to see him, knowing he didn't remember all the shit we're been through. I kept myself occupied with raising you, Nico." They paused for our reaction.
"So, my pap'. Ni-nicolas. God it feels strange to call him that. Anyway, he has no idea of all this." I moved my hands around in a circle.
"Ah, not yet." They said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Nico asked.
"I didn't feel like it was necessary."
"What was the reason?" He looked at the floor.
"Hm?" They frowned.
"What was the reason he wanted his memory gone?"
"Will." I said. "He fell in love with Will." I sighed.
"Oh. I wish I would've met him." Nico spoke with a lower voice.
"Please don't tell that now you want to waste your time on relationships and love." Katrina crossed their arms.
"Well, I couldn't exactly have the experience, since you've locked me in this cage!" He glared at them. I stood up.
"Let's not fight. We still need to clarify some things." I said. "How did you end up in Hades's hands if you are so powerul?"
"I was vulnerable. My brother is my only weakness. Therefore, when Hades found out he was gone and could no longer harm him if he did something to me, he waited for the perfect chance to take me away." Katrina explained.
"But- but that would mean you spend just a few months in the Underworld. When I first met you, you seemed out of your mind." I frowned.
"Once Hades got me, he also stole the book. The one you freed me with. He knew the language, Nicolas did the mistake of teaching him back in the day. He added a spell that would make me think one hour is a decade. That's why, when you came back to life, I wasn't there. I was breaking that spell so I could think properly."
"But what is the point of all this?" Nico asked. "Why us? Why me? Out of all people?"
"Nicolas is the only one who know the answer. I never understood his motives. As for the point, what else are we supposed to do? We're immortal. We have seen and experienced everything in this world. We have witnessed all wars, empires falling and rising. People destroying each other for idiotic reasons. We're just trying to find, to feel something new." They shrugged.
After that, silence took over. There were still a million questions in my mind, but too many information at once is not very useful. I managed to find the courage to break the silence.
"What now?" I ask, quietly.
"Now, we go and wake up my brother. We fix this." Katrina got up.
"What about the others?" Nico followed her actions.
"We're getting them back too. Every single one of them." They smirked.
"As in the rest of your family? What happened?" I frowned.
"The gods happened. Like always." Katrina chuckled. "Take us home, Bianca." They took my hand. I sighed and took Nico's hand. I thought of home, my brother who I missed dearly, all the good times. Then poof! in a cloud of darkness we disappeared. Katrina was kind to lend me some strength.

A/n: I just realized, since I've started this story, I haven't read it. Like from Part 1 to this part. I don't even know if it makes sense 😂.
Tell me if you find any mistakes, it seems that my inspiration comes only after 1 am.
