A/N

Before you read this I need to tell you that there is some suicidal thoughts if you do not want to hear it skip to Andromeda's point of view.

Nico P.O.V (finally)

I drifted off to sleep hoping to see madi again. She was still blurry but I could make out some details like her fiery red hair sea blue eyes and her black glasses and that she loved reading and was super smart. Maybe she could be a daughter of Athena but usually Athena spawns would have blonde hair and grey eyes like Annabeth. Maybe A daughter of Aphrodite she is really pretty but she didn't act like one. So I was hoping to dream about her but it was something different this time. It was the moment Percy Jackson had told me my sister had died on the quest then to the time in tarturas, me crawling across the sharp jagged rocks being chased by monsters. Then be captured by the twins and being stuffed in a jar with only pomegranates. A wave of emotion was going through me. I was terrified, scared, and angry. But one thing stood out most it wasn't a memory but it was still as worse.

A group of people stood in front of me they all had a blank face on them, like they were dead. There, standing in front of me was Percy Jackson, My sister Bianca, My father and Andromeda. Percy spoke up but not in his usual normal voice but with a dull emotionless one.

"you just pathetic, you think anyone would be your friend. You're just the loner son of hades that nobody likes" My eyes started to water as the person I once looked up to and really still do, said to my face. Next came my sister, which I didn't want to hear but I couldn't move. I was paralysed and my eyes were glued to what was in front of me.

" I can't believe I was stuck with you I mean mother could've done better, You should have been the one to die not me. I was the more loved one, you were just the loner that carried stupid dolls around" She sneered at me. The tears were threatening to spill and I wanted to wipe them away but I still couldn't move except for the fact that I was trembling so badly. My father was next.

" You again, You know I would prefer you sister. You're just so annoying and you never leave. You know what I disown you. You are not my son, I refuse to have such a disgrace as my child. You couldn't do anything I told you. Pathetic." My cheeks were now wet from the tears. Andromeda walked up to me with a bright smile. Maybe the dream/nightmare would change, maybe Andromeda will say something to make it all better. Her fiery red hair swayed back and forth when she walked. When she approached me her expression changed and was replaced by an evil smile.


"Did you really think I could like you? You thought that the princess of the sea, commander/leader of hades army would ever like you. You don't deserve anyone. All you do is hide because you're a coward and why would anyone like a coward. Anyway I have found someone new. His name is leo valdez, you know one of the seven who actually did something." Suddenly out of nowhere Leo was next to Andromeda. They turned to each other and kissed and with that I couldn't take it, I fell to the floor in a heap and cried. I felt like I was just being stabbed over and over again.

They all circled me and started chanting words.

"Pathetic, loser, worthless, loner, emo" they just repeated those words over and over again. As I cried I started to realise something. They were all correct. I am pathetic, I am a coward, I am a loner and if I died no one would care. No one would notice. I'm just a pathetic human being that doesn't deserve to live. My breathing was getting shorter and shorter and soon I was gasping for air but I couldn't breathe. Suicidal thoughts were suffocating me. I was having I panic attack in my sleep and nothing could save me from it. I couldn't focus because of everything that my mind was shouting at me. I would die. But I actually didn't mind. It's not like I will be missed. I was slipping away. But then an angel came.

Ok I know it sounds really cheesy and cliché but really an angel came and saved me. She had an angelic voice that reminded me of my mother singing to me when I was younger. I felt warm arms wrap around me and I instantly felt safe. Soothing words were whispered to me and one by one the figures started to disappear. I felt exhausted but I felt like I needed to wake up or else they would come back.

Opening my eyes was hard, the light was blinding my vision but when I opened my eyes I saw Andromeda on top of me with her face right up to my face. I could feel her breath against my lips. Hmm minty. Her blue eyes were so beautiful. Why, why did I have to have these feelings towards her. Wait what no, I do NOT like Andromeda like that. But her she was and it was taking all my will power not to blush. I know right, the dark son of hades blushing. Not me, but then again I felt a bit different. A bit tingly. Looking into Andromeda's eyes I couldn't help thinking about what happened in the dream. The voices were coming back, but it was just Andromeda's voice playing over and over. Each word she said hurt so badly. SNAP OUT OF IT, my mind was screaming out at me. Mentally shaking my head I felt myself pulling away again, slipping out of conciseness. But this time into a dreamless sleep.



Andromeda P.O.V

Seeing Nico like this was heart breaking and I just wanted it to end. Not to mention the fact that there was another stage to this madness. It has now been an hour since he went back to sleep from his little "episode". What horrible things has he gone through to have that much fear in his eyes? I didn't even want to know.

I left the room thinking it would be best if I had something to eat. That was my first mistake. Coming back from the kitchens and finding that nico was not in his room scared the living hades out of me. My hand instantly flew to the handle of my sword while I scanned the area. Nothing absolutely nothing. That was until I heard a clatter and a smash. I instantly ran towards the source of the sound and came upon a servant. Plates were smashed everywhere and he looked shocked.

"Masters Son" he spoke quietly but that was all I needed. I raced down the halls. It was easy tracking him down, just look for the startled servants and BOOM you found him. I reached the outside of the palace and scanned the courtyard. My eyes fixed on someone skipping away. Skipping, in the underworld. No way. I noticed that the boy had black hair and he was in what looked like skull PJs. NICO.

So his change of personality is happy/bubbly. Well this could be funny to watch. I lowered my sword that I had brought out and leaned on it with the blade digging into the ground. Nico was getting further and further away. Shouldn't he start to turn back know? Where was he heading anyway?

From here It looks like he was heading for the river styx. THE RIVER STYX. My eyes widened and I got off my sword and raced on after him. He wasn't in control of himself. He could do anything and he wouldn't know he had done it until he woke up. If he woke up.

For a boy, he could sure skip fast. I was covering ground faster than he was though. This is all my fault. I should never have let him out of my sight. His father is so going to kill me. The styx was close now and I saw him near the edge of it. Sprinting as fast as I could I stood between him and the river. He was about to step in. With all my might I pushed him away from the river. He flew into the air and landed not so softly on the ground knocking him out.

This was when my second mistake came. Since I pushed a bit to hard, I lost my footing. I tried to take a step back but there was nothing. I fell back into the river styx. The acid water burning me. I couldn't take. I was not strong enough. It was burning me. I could not breathe. I had not been prepared. I felt my eyes close and I slipped away.

Sorry. Oh I am evil.
