Solangelo Love- Last Moments (Percy Jackson Fanfic)

Chapter 3: Nico's POV

After Will put the laundry in, he carried me bridal side to the living room, where we fell asleep in comfortable silence.

When I woke, I wasn't on the couch anymore, I was in a strange, dark room and I couldn't move.

I was restrained. I couldn't feel my legs, or my arms for that matter.

This was real, I wasn't dreaming this time.

I called out, "Will! Where are you?" No answer came. All I heard was heavy breathing. Where was I? Who took me?

A low, raspy voice answered all my questions, " I am Strigae, it brings me great joy to steal children. You were left unattended, your husband left to go shopping. I'm sure when he notices you're missing, he'll be worried sick. As for where you are, you're somewhere no one will ever find you."

I struggled to remove my restraints as the rustic voice of the Strigae consumed me, "Nico di Angelo, you will never escape."

I tried to shadow travel, but despite how dark it was, I couldn't muster a single shadow.

The shadows wouldn't obey the Ghost King. They should show some respect.

My thoughts at how to escape, were interrupted by the horrible scratchy voice of the Strigae, "Shadow proof chains, can't get out that way either... Death Boy."

Now I was angry. Nobody called me that, but Will. I yelled, "Don't call me that! Call me anything, but that!" The Strigae chuckled, "Did Will call you that?"

I was furious now. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Don't you speak his name! If I hear it come out of your mouth one more time, when I get out, so help me... I'll kill you."

The Strigae laughed once more, "Why musn't I speak his name?" I whispered, "Because Will Solace is the most amazing person I know. He deserves to have his name spoken by only the best. I don't deserve to speak his name and you don't even deserve to breath the same air as him."

The Strigae squawked, "Well, well, well. Nico doesn't feel worthy of this great being? You feel lower than him in every way, don't you?" I let a tear streak my face, "That's right, now shut your mouth."

The creature cackled loudly, "Do you know what I am?" I snapped back, "You're a witch." The witch spoke through what seemed to be a smile, "And do you know what witches do?" I gulped, "They eat people."
