A play of light and shadows.(solangelo)

•chapter 1•

☀️Will☀️

I remember it like it happened just yesterday. It was winter and snow was slowly falling from the sky. There was this huge light, and then something crashed into the camp's lake. Breaking into the surface was a school bus that looked like it might as well be made of light. There were melted canoe all around and steam came from the water.

I was just thanking the gods there was no one in the lake at the moment when several people came out of the bus who some of them I recognized as hunters of Artemis. Thalia was glaring at them looking furious as ever while Grover was comforting Percy who was radiating with worry. I didn't understand why until I noticed that Annabeth wasn't with them. I was sure that Thalia was seeping with wory too, she and Annabeth were very close after all. It's just that, that some people tend to hide emotions like this with anger. Later turned out that Annabeth went missing.

Then I noticed a boy who looked around my age.He had olive skin,dark hair and brown eyes. He was running around with some mythomagic cards and excited sparkles in his eyes.

Later that week he went missing. I allways look at the edge of the forrest where I saw him go after the incident with Bianca-his older sister. And sometimes I see him there, standing looking right at me.

Other campers tell me that what I saw was most likely just a play of light and shadows.
But I could swear it was him.

💀Nico💀

"Soooo three days huh?" I asked as Will led me through the infimary. We passed a bed with a camper on it, and I already knew that he wasn't going to make it. Will must have sensed it too because he had a pained look on his face and honestly it was weird to see him like this, he looked so sad that it hurt to watch. Not that I cared about him or anything. But before I could ask if he was ok he put on a bright smile and we continued our walk.

"Well basically yes," he said like he just now realized that I said something. "But it can be more ,depends on you and in how much of a bad health state you are in." I was about to complain but he beat me to it. "And don't even try to think about arguing with me di Angelo. I said that you owe me at least three days in the infimary, not only three days."...." Doctor's orders." He added after a while. I groaned. "Why is something is telling me that you are going to overuse that phrase?" "Because I am." The son of Apollo said with a grinn on his face. I sighed.

Those stupid skeletal butterflies.

We arrived to an empty bed and Will gestured me to sit. I did as he shut the curtains . Then he turned around to face me. "Okay so I'm going to get all the things I'm going to need. Untill then stay here and please get off your shirt so I can give you a check up , okay?"

"Um okay." I said and blushed for some reason.

Great you look like an idiot.

Shut up.

Why, I'm just saying the truth.

Shut up.

It's sad that such an emotionless person like you can be so-

"Shut up"

"Huh?" I mentaly slaped myself.

"Uuuuh nothing."
Good job.

"Okay, anyway I'll be right back." Said Will as he dissapeared behind the curtain.

He came back a few minutes later with a bunch of....medical stuff.
What, I never saw most of these things before and you want me to name them? Anyway he gave me the check up and told me about the injuries that I have and how to treat them while doing so.

Curently he examined the wherewolf scratches with his way too warm hands. Really no one has the right to be this warm.
"You're lucky, whoever sewed this did a really good job. I don't even need to remake it and it looks like there is no infection , however I'm still going to desinficate and bandage it so there is no risk of being one and so it can heal better." He says as he does so.

He finnishes wraping the bandage and stands up. "Ok so as I said before three days of rest in the infimary with a lot of sleep, eat more no underworldly magic or training for a month-"
"But-"
"No. Doctor's orders." I glared at him.
I'm gonna wipe that smile of yours off of your face someday Solace. Just you wait.

But you like his smile.

Yes, but this is different.

He looked down at me with his deep blue eyes and smiled sweetly." Ok I need to go now to take care of other pacients but if you need anything you can call someone anytime. Now get some rest death boy okay?" Then he rufled my hair and left.

"Do-don't call me death boy!" I heard him laught. That little-

Since I had nothing better to do and felt extremely tired I lied down and let the sleep consume me.
