A light in the darkness (solangelo)

Chapter 8: a sad anniversary

Time skip to December idk what day Bianca died so yeah I'm just gonna say she died on the nineteenth. If u know please tell me in the comments. Also it's another Nico POV. Yay! I should really come out with a chapter that's not from Nico's POV. Now I'm gonna start writing before this turns into an author note.

I woke up at 11:00 in the morning. Savannah was away right now so I had the cabin to myself. I put the pillow over my head and tried to go to sleep, hoping I could just sleep through today the way I had done last year. As soon as I closed my eyes my mind was fill with images of Bianca. I began crying silently. Sometimes I wish I could take her place, other times I just want her back. I should probably go visit will, but I just couldn't bring myself to leave the cabin. Eventually, it all became too much. I went into the bathroom, opening up a small locked box. A gentle tune began to play. I knew every word and so I sang along to it.

"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 breathe.

Tu sei il mio soldatino,
la ragione per cui vivo.
Non ti scordar di me,
io vegliero su di te."

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 trusts 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,
la ragione oh vissuto.
Non ti scordar di me,
io vegliero su di te.

So you run,
through shadows you roam.
Seems 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,
fade from your bones,
Oh.

Eri il mio soldatino,
Ora un principe oscuro.
Ma anche per te ce una luce,
che, ad un altra vita ti conduce," then, tears welling in my eyes, I pulled a delicate silver knife out of the box.

I began pressing the knife into my hand when I heard a voice cry, "Nico! No!" The knife was ripped out of my hand and Will was kneading down in front of me. He pulled me into a warm embrace.

I was crying my eyes out now. "Will, I'm sorry, I am so so sorry," I said.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here now. You'll be okay," he whispered. He kissed me gently. Then he began to sing to me.

"You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine.
You make me happy,
when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you.
So please don't take my sunshine away," he kissed me again. Then he whispered softly, "I love you Nico. I love you and i don't want you to ever leave me."

I blushed. "I-I love you too," I mumbled.

Will picked me up and carried me bridal style to the infirmary. He set me down on the bed and grabbed some bandages. He wrapped them around my hands. Then, he gave me a kiss. "Will, your shift is over," Maddie said boredly.

"Come on Sunshine, let's go do something," Will said. He took my hand and pulled me up off the bed. Then, we walked out of the infirmary. "So what do you want to do?" He asked.

"Could we just hang out in my cabin?" I replied.

"Okay sunshine, whatever you want," he said sweetly. Then, we walked hand in hand to the Hades cabin.
