Nico's Lullaby

Nico's POV

Close your eyes, I know what you see.

The darkness is high, and you're in ten feet deep.

But we've survived, more terrible monsters than sleep,

And you know I will be here to tell you to breath,

Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)

La ragione per cui vivo (the reason i live)

Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)

Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)

Stumbling lost; the last choice of all that you meet

It's the cost of ruling those 'neath your feet

Paths you've crossed, and trust you're trying to keep

You're exhausted, listening for a voice that can't speak

(Ma Nico, mio caro)

Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)

La ragione ho vissuto (the reason I lived)

Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)

Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)

So you run; through shadows you roam

Seams undone by the love you thought you could own

But he's just one of many that you might call home

And maybe someday, the bitter will fade from your bones...

Eri il mio soldatino (you were my little soldier)

Ora un principe oscuro (now, a dark prince)

Ma anche per te, c'è una luce (but even for you, there is a light)

Che ad un'altra vita ti conduce (that leads you to another life)

I woke up crying and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and my breath caught in my throat. When I looked back into the mirror I didn't see my reflection I saw Bianca's. She was smiling at me so I smiled back. Then I saw her death. A malfunctioning Talos robot attacked. I saw Bianca go inside the machine to stop it, but in the process crashed the robot into some power lines...dying. I screamed in rage and punched the glass causing it to shatter in pieces all around me. I fell to my knees letting the glass cut me.
"I'm so so so sorry Bianca...I wish it was me who died." I sobbed, "I wish it was me..." I picked up a large piece of the glass and started cutting myself. I stopped cutting myself and positioned to piece of glass over my heart.
"Maybe they won't care...." I mumbled. I started to push the glass farther into my skin.
"Nico...No....Stop..."
I blocked out the voice.
"Nico, tu sei il mio soldatino, don't hurt yourself. Please."
I pulled the glass down and looked around.
"B-Bianca?" I asked.
"Don't hurt yourself. Remember Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)."
I was about to reply when the bathroom door slammed open.
"NICO!!!" Hazel said, "Are you ok?!"
"Yes Hazel I'm fine." I said.
"What happened?!" Percy asked.
"Are you ok?" Piper asked.
"Were you cutting yourself again?" Jason asked.
"Oh Nico..." Annabeth said. I narrowed my eyes.
"I can take care of myself!!!" I spat, "Stop treating me like a little kid!!!"
I shadow traveled away from all of them. To my mom and Bianca's graveyard. I walked over to there graves and sat right in between them leaning in the giant Angel statue.
"I miss both of you." I whispered. I fell asleep right in between there graves... alone.
