United Again (REYNICO fanfiction)

The Ghost and the Goddess

After slipping into the shadows they managed to make it to Kanas where they meet up with Mrs. O' Leary who greeted them with her kisses.

They make it to Arizona without any further attacks which Reyna was great full for. Maybe the gods have heard her prayers.

As they stand at the border going to make they next jump this time in Los Angeles.

"I can't take you." Nico said as Mrs. O'Leary whimpers and nuzzles him, "Go back to Camp Half Blood where's it safe promise me girl?"

She licks him then bounces over to Reyna doing they same which causes Reyna to smile, "We'll see you when this is all over."

And with the Mrs. O'Leary was gone and Reyna and Nico were they only ones standing.

"Should we send am Iris Message?" Nico suggested and Reyna shakes her head.

"No we have only been on this quest for two days. We can message then when we get to camp, and last I recall we can't IM for unknown reasons." Reyna said pacing the sun beating down on them, butting down on her lip.

Camp.

It had seemed not that long ago she was at the Wolf House.

But the closer Camp the more she was scared about her nightmare coming true. Nico dying. The blood bubbling at his mouth dripping into the sand.

She squeezes her eyes to keep the image out of her hear but the image burned brighter in her mind.

"Reyna?"

She opens then not starring at Nico.

There's something bothering you, tell me." He sits down on a boulder.

"Nothing." Reyna said her voice strong not quavering as she spoke.

A sly grin plays at his lips, "I'm not Shadow Jumping until you tell me."

She narrows her eyes, "You wouldn't."

"Try my daughter of Bellona."

It was silent for a good hour neither one of them budging until Reyna snapped.

"Di Angelo! I didn't not get attacked by Hellhounds, Harpies and Basilisk to stop when we are so close-"

"But so far that's why we need to Shadow Jump."

Reyna moves so that are so close she can see the darkness in his eyes hidden under his lashes, "Shadow Jump now."

"Make me." He whispered back and Reyna chuckles.

"Gods I hate you." She shakes her head with smiling, "We go if I tell you what's troubling me?"

He nods his head in a yes way.

"Fine. I'm just thinking about a nightmare about my past." She said which was partly true. She has been thinking but not about her past.

"Oh," He steps closer, "That wasn't so hard see? Now let's go."

They both reach out and grip each other's hand halfway. And not matter how many times Reyna did this. She could always feel the electricity and didn't want to let go.

.........

When her feet are on hard ground again the air is much cooler. She looks at the signature piece of San Francisco. The Golden gate bridge.

"I thought we were jumping to LA?"
Reyna inquires as she looks at the surrounds.

"I must have over estimated-" Reyna quickly claps her hand over his mouth as voices come nearer.
