the mistake

I dedicate this chapter to CiskavanDijk
(My first reader) :)
Hiya! Indie here! I know that (Now) only one person is reading this, but i just wanted to post a new one! So let's go!!

Trigger warning: mentions of suicide. (I think so, if not or if i forgot something, please comment!)

Will POV:
Austin opened the door of the surgery room. It cracked a little before opening. When it opened i ran inside. What i saw was horrifying.

It was Nico. He had cuts everywhere. There where a few gashes and scratches. There where some little ones, but the most where very deep. He had passed out and he would have looked peaceful, was it not for the combination of still flowing and dried blood on his face and the pale color of his skin. It was even worse than after the shadow travelling of the Athena Partenos!!

But, there was no monster here right? Then it hit me. We have just been to tartarus and i still had a lot of nightmares and episodes. Even when i didn't told anyone. So it... It was probably self-inflicted...

I walked carefully to Nico, not wanting to wake him up. "Oh, no..." It looked even worse up close.

"Kayla, get a painkiller and some sleeping pills for Nico!" I said to Kayla. "Austin, get water and sterile wipes!" " Got it!" They both said at the same time. Right after Kayla and Austin left, i looked at nico again. He was loting to much blood, i need to stop it. I laid nico further down on the infirmary bed. Some wounds were infected and i desperatily needed to clean it. On that moment Austin came back in and gave me the sterile wipes and a bottle of water. On that moment nico startled a bit in his sleep and murmured, 'will?' " Yes neeks, i'm here." I reasured him. I tried to stay calm but it was hard. Then kayla came in with the a pack of painkillers and a sleeping pill. I grabbed them and said to Nico "eat it neeks, you need it." Nico opened his mouth and swallowed the pills. Just as he was dozing off, i said: "It will all be okay nico, trust me." Then i started working.

First, I cleaned nico's wounds, then, i started healing. I put my hands on his, extremely attractive chest. 'Shut up, will! Not now!' I thougth to myself. Wow, you can see the abs through the t-shirt! STOP WILL!! IT IS JUST A PATIENT, NOT YOUR EXTREMELY CUTE BOYFRIEND!! and i continued working with on my mind: This is just a patient. Well, it was more like trying to have that on my mind....

After a few seconds, my hands started glowing. The wounds started to close, but it was not fast enough. So, i sang a hymn to Apollo. Some minutes later, most wounds were healed. But i kept going. I didn't want nico to still have scars.

Suddenly, i felt much stronger. A sort of power surge got through me. I kept my eyes shut so that i could focus. "Will stop!! You're gonna use to much power!!" Kayla said. Her voice sounded far away. I opened my eyes to look at her. "Kayla i have it under control!" I said, but i wasn't so sure myself.

On that moment we heared from another room a " Can someone help me?" From another injured camper. " Come kayla, We will look what it is" Austin said. They walked away and Will looked at the now closing door.

What he didn't knew, was that when he looked away, something happened. The yellow healing beam that came from his hand, turned green for a few seconds. It was right on Nico. And that little mistake that he made is gonna change his whole life.

Well, what did you all think of it?
Comments are appreciated!
Hopefully till next time!
