A Cinderella Demigod? (Nico Di Angelo/ Cinderella

Chapter 13

After numerous books and websites I finally found out what was wrong with nico and it wasn't just a cold/flu. It was all because of a spider. I always hated spiders.

This spider was called a black night spider (made up) and when It bites you your body goes through these stages. The first stage is when you start vomiting and have fevers, this would usually go for 6 hours.

The second stage is straight after the first stage with strong hallucinations of your worst fears. This is said to be for 2 hours and if you're not awake to experience them, the hallucinations turn into nightmares, nightmares that felt and looked so real it could easily make you insane.

And if you survived that, for the next 16 hours your personality changes into the complete opposite of you.

Looking over at Nico's sleeping form in the water I started to wonder when he would get the hallucinations and when he started to get them I don't want him to still be in the bath when it happens. I got up from the cold black tiles that spread across the floor and moved my stiff body towards Nico.

I gently tapped my hand on his shoulder and he jerked awake, his dark gloomy eyes boring into mine. The shocked expression relaxed back into his normal one.

" hey how you doing" I said stroking his forehead to check if he had a temperature. None. I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad one.

"fine" he managed to croak out.

"here lets get you back into bed" I helped him out of the bath and dried him and he got dressed in nice fresh pjs that I set out for him. He hopped back into bed and rested his head on the head board. He smiled at me which I found strange since he never really smiled any more but his eyes were bright with happiness and his smile showed his pearly white teeth.

"what are you so happy about?" I asked with a small chuckle.

" I had another dream about her, about Madi" Why was he suddenly remembering his past? Why not earlier? Nico carried on talking about her, well actually me.

" She had these black rimmed glasses and she had sea blue eyes and in my dream it showed me the first time I met her. She was sitting all alone at the back of the class room and she was reading a book or something and I was forced to sit next to her by the teacher and she didn't like it and after that we were sitting together for lunch and I taught her mythomagic and we played it and and and" He started to giggle a bit.

What is happening to him? Did he miss the hallucinations and go straight to the personality change 'cause that's what it looks like. He was like a child on a sugar high. He now seemed lost for words but then regained them as he looked into my eyes.

"do you think she is in camp half-blood she could she said she was a bit ADHD and she sometimes had trouble reading and maybe I could see her again" Suddenly his smile was wiped of clean from his face and there now was a frown. "Why am I only remembering her now"

"Maybe something happened, like when you were dipped in the river lethe maybe not just your childhood memories were wiped out" I said trying to not make it to obvious that I knew exactly what happened.

"Maybe, but I will remember and I will find her" he said it with so much determination that you knew he was serious. I wanted to scream at him that I was madi. He reached under the covers and slipped himself in and rested his head on the pillows, soon you could hear the soft snores of the son of hades.
