Nico and Bianca: An Alternate Ending

Nico and Bianca

The room lit up. "Bianca, are you okay? You were crying. You seemed upset." Nico said. Wait...Nico? "Nico?" He walked over and stood over me. "You okay?" "But how? You're dead!" He looked confused. "Dead?" I nodded. "And where's Hazel?" Nico looked more confused. "Who's Hazel? Bianca, are you sure you're okay?" I nodded. "Are you?" "I'm fine. Maybe I should take you to the infirmary..." "No! I'm fine! Okay? I'm fine!" "Okay...." How was Nico here? He was dead! Could it have been a dream? No...Was I dead? Could this be Elysium? "Nico, how long have I been asleep for?" Nico shrugged. "Well, you went to sleep right after he war. 8 hours, maybe?" What? How could I have possibly had that dream in only 8 hours? I couldn't have! It was too much. "What about Will?" I asked. "Will as in my boyfriend?" I nodded. "He's fine...What are you talking about?" "The army, you died, rebirth, Hazel, the jar, Will, the Hades figurine..." "Bianca, what's wrong? What are you talking about?" "Nothing. But that couldn't have been a dream. If it wasn't, then what? I can't be without you for another day!" "Bianca! You were never without me!" This couldn't have been a dream! If it was, then I was asleep for more than 8 hours! "Okay, I'm gonna lie down." I closed my eyes. I opened them again. I saw Hazel talking to Piper and Annabeth. "Where's Nico?" Annabeth looked at me. "Bianca, he's been dead since the war with Kronos." So this wasn't a dream. Nico being alive was. I wish I could dream forever.
