Angels and Demons

Nico

A/N: Hello! I decieded to not a part 2 of Valentine's special and continue with the story because knowing me, I'll turn this into a oneshot book. Anyways, on with the story!

A knock interupts me from my thoughts.

' Come in!' I shout.

It's Reyna.

'Hey.'

' Hello'

' Your father is calling you for dinner and Persephone said that if you don't come for dinnmer immediately, she'll come to your room and personally drag you out.'

I chuckled. I'd been missing out on meals a ,lot and Persephone doesn't really like that and neither does Hazel, my half sister. I don't get to see Hazel a lot and the times that I do see her are very rare.

I nodded my head and left  along with her. Reyna and I went on a quest together and later became friends, so it was kinda like a forced friendship, but I don't mind. She's my only friend in the castle apart from Hazel so it's okay. Personally, everyone here thinks it's kinda weird that a prince should also take part in milatary duties but I like it. It gives me a time to forget the things that have been bothering me for a long time.

As soon as I enter the dinner room, something knocks into me with a giggle. 

 I looked down to see a swift of curly, cinnamon hair and hazel eyes.

I look at the six- year-old with a smile on my face

' Hey, Hazel.'

'NICO! I haven't seen you in a long time . Where were you?'

' Sorry, Hazel. I've been helping with the war.'

' I don't like war.'

'Me neither.'

'Then why do help with it?'

' Because I have to.'

She thought about it for a while.

' Why is there war?'

' It's too hard to understand.'

' Nico?'

'Yeah?'

' Am I going to die?

I wasn't expecting this. When the war was announced, Hazel didn;t understand it, so I explained it to her. Unfortunately, I didn't leave out the bit about demons and angels dying and she spent half the night crying about not wanting anybody to die.

' Of course not Hazel. I'll keep you safe and we'll win this war.' 

She smiled and said,' Promise?' holding out her pinky finger.

' I promise.' I said, taking her pinky finger with mine.

'On?' she asked again, her smile widening.

I rolled my eyes and said, ' On the River Styx.'

Then, we walked over to the table where Persephone was waiting.
