A lot can happen in three days

Chapter 55

Nico's POV
After a bit we left the archery range but Will insisted on carrying me saying that I needed to conserve my strength, not that I was complaining but I wouldn't have chose to be carried in his arms like I was to weak to do anything. Half way back to camp I fell asleep in the swaying of his arms.

In my dream I was running through the woods dry leaves crunched under my feet and on either side of me, I decided that I was running along two people. To my left was Blake he had his bow in hand and claw marks on his stomach and a slight limp as he ran. Will was to my right, his blonde hair was caked with mud and matted to his face his left arm was bandaged the whole way up blood stained the dirty cloth on his forearm and right above his elbow.

I scanned around me carefully but couldn't see Crystal. What happened to her why would we all be out here but her did something horrible happen to her.

I was to focused on finding her that I ran straight into a tree. Blood trickled onto my shirt a I knew that I had just broke my nose or worse. I tried to stand up but my right leg was engulfed in pain, I let out a cry of pain and pulled my self up using both the tree and my sword for support.

I loud snarl echoed the air an a large shadowed figure lurched towards me about to pounce.

Then I was whisked out of the dream and back into reality when my head his the bed frame a little to hard.

"Sorry Sunshine didn't mean to wake you" Will kissed my forehead sitting beside me on the bed.

"It's okay" I whispered then sneezed.

"Nico you have the cutest sneeze, like a little kitten" Will coed and tapped my nose.

"I am not cute nor do I sneeze in said way" I scold him slapping his hand away.

"No you are adorable and you so do sneeze like a tiny kitty"

"No I-I *sneeze* I am a deadly weapon I am not cute I am horrifying you should fear me!!!"

"No I think that may be impossible you're to adorably cute" he smooches my cheeks.

I sneezed once more before slamming my head into my pillow seeing as the conversation was going nowhere.

"Aw poor Neeks so adorabloodthirsty" he pinches the crook of my neck making me squeal and curl into a bowl.

"Stop Will ah I'm tired let my lie down" I try to push his away.

"But Nico I want to cuddle" he pouts, smashing my face against his neck.

"But Will you are being so clingy and it will impossible for to fall asleep, now let me up"

"But whyyyy?"

"I have to take a shower"

*************************************
I dried me dark hair and walked out of the cabins small bathroom, the cold air stung my bare chest as I had neglected to put on more than boxers and pajama pants.

Crystal and Blake must have come in while I was washing up because they were watching TV. Well Crystal was watching TV Blake was asleep with his head in her lap. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

Will was sprawled out as wide as he possibly could asleep on my bed. I sighed grabbed a blanket from the couch and chose I small open spot underneath his right arm and curled into a ball using the rest of the huge blanket as a pillow.

Will's POV
When I woke up surprisingly my shirt was dry and I was freezing. I knew it was about one in the morning and that I also probably won't get back to sleep. I stretched my arm and tried to lay them at my sides but my right arm bumped into Nico who apparently slept on a little smidgeon of the bed instead of sleeping on the bed his sister was not occupying since she was laying on the couch.

He started shivering because the blanket he had on him was only under his head, the rest was hanging of the bed. I smiled and pulled him closer to me, resting his head on my arm on covering both of us in the blanket.

"HEY WILL" Crystal's sleep heavy voice whisper yelled from across the room,"ARE YOU AWAKE?"

"No" I say closing my eyes and Nico squirmed in my arms.

"I can't sleep"

"Then wake up Blake I'm sure he would love to stay up with you"

"You're no fun why can't you just talk with me"

"Because I'm still tired and know I won't be able to to sleep past eight unless I become deathly sick"

"Whatever party pooper"
