Nightmares (Solangelo)

Goodbye, New York.

A.N: First off... HOW THE HECK DOES THIS P.O.S. I ONLY WRITE WHEN I'M TIRED AND CAN'T SLEEP HAVE OVER 1K VIEWS??!?! I love you all so much... Everyone who reads, votes or comments. I love every one of you, and thank you so so much for reading my story. I'm literally on the verge of tears right now I'm so happy, thank you all so much!~ (^///^)

Bad news is... I begun this story with three intentions of leaving you all with wounded hearts, because I'm an ass... But now I really like you guys and would feel way too bad if I did that.

So, what I'm gonna do, just for y'all, Imma write my sad ending wait maybe a week or so, then publish the last chapter... So basically I'm leaving you with a cliff-hanger. But, I'm making this end happily, just for you guys, so maybe you'll love me as much as I love you.

Okay. I'll start the chapter now.

Nico's P.O.V

"Morning, sunshine." I wake to hear Will's beautiful voice. "...Ready for our 'mission'?" He asks me, somewhat hesitant.

I groan, sitting up from my coffin. "Ugh... I feel like Count Dracula..."

"You look like him, too." Will comments.

"Oh, shut up. Like you slept any better." I look up at him, and boy was I wrong. Well duh... He's an Apollo kid.

Of course he looks perfect in the morning, with what little sunlight that makes its way into my cabin making him appear practically glowing... The light in his eyes themselves, basically light up the room itself. Not to mention his perfect smile...

What the heck does a guy like that see in... Me...? ....Maybe he has really bad eyesight...?

"You're staring." He remarks, chuckling lightly. Damn it. I'm going to have to eat my words...

"Hm? Oh, sorry. I zoned out..." I lie, keeping a straight face...

"Uh-huh. Sure you did." He states sarcastically.

"Sarcasm. That's original."* I say, sarcasm dripping from my voice. He laughs.

"Anyway... You should get up. Remember, today's the day we leave for our mission!~" His smile's so big and happy... I hate to bring it down, but...

"Why are you so excited for this?! No two people have ever come out of that cave alive..." I look down, sadness welling up inside me.

"But we won't let that happen. You know I won't let you die, and I know you won't let me." His smile was only gone for a second. It's back now, though... I don't know how he's so positive...

"What if I'm not strong enough...? What... What if I let you down?!" I'm pretty sure there are tears on my face, but I really don't care at this point.

"'What if?! What if?! Well what if your nose fell off and the sky caught on fire?!'" He quotes.

"Are you seriously quoting Disney right now?" I ask incredulously. "WE COULD DIE OUT THERE!"

"Hey, hey. Calm down." He pulls me into a tight embrace. "Nobody's dying on this quest, okay?"

"O-okay..." I nod, wiping my tears off. I pull away from the hug and he immediately kisses me, pulling me closer to him.

"I love you. You know that, right?" He whispers after our kiss breaks.

"I had a hunch." I rest my head on his shoulder. "I love you, too." I smile slightly, saying those words is nice... Mostly the 'too' part... The fact that I know he actually loves me. Maybe someday we can be happy together...

"Now c'mon. UP!" He yells as he drags me out of my nice, cozy coffin and onto the cold, hard floor.

"But Wiiiiillll!" I whine.

"But Niiiicoo!" He whines back.

"Ugh." I get up and start picking out some clothes for the day. "Screw you." I mutter, barely loud enough to hear.

Chiron had explained to us a couple of days ago why he had chosen us for the quest. He thought it would be better to have two people who'd do anything to save their loved one. He also thought having a trained medic on the quest would be great, I guess his reasoning makes sense... I just wish he hadn't make me feel like I was in such grave danger...

I finish getting dressed (Yes, we change in front of each other. No, we haven't "Done it," you pervs.) and walk with him to breakfast. We eat while Chiron explains how we're getting to Arizona, where the cave is. He said a plane would be a terrible choice, because... Underworld child... I suggested 'shadow tra-' before Will cut me off with a stern 'NO.'

So, apparently we're going by train. Yay.

A four day trip, by train, to Phoenix. I have nothing against Arizona, it's just... The heat sounds unbearable. But, I have to go... So, again. Yay.

We packed all of our necessary supplies, extra clothes, weapons,extra money, weapons, blankets, weapons, flashlights and... Weapons. Will probably packed some medical supplies as well...

"Ughh... Why don't we just call up your dad and hitch a ride in his Ferrari?" I ask as we tread down the sidewalk, nearing the train station.

"My dad has a Ferrari?!" He cocked his head at me.

"Ferrari, bus, sun chariot. Whatever you wanna call it."

"Huh... That sounds a lot quicker than a train. But I highly doubt he'd wasn't to help in any way." He pauses, taking in the view of the locomotive and its station. "C'mon. Let's get some tickets." He drags me inside.

"Dammit, Will. Stop dragging me everywhere!" He stops and looks back at me.

"Awe..." He's sad for about a millisecond before he grins a mischiev grin at me. "Fine." He says as he scoops me up off of the ground, holding me bridal style.

"WILL! I am not a *bleep* Disney princess. Put me down. NOW."

"But you look so cute!~" He laughed, walking up to the front desk. "Two tickets to Phoenix, please." The lady at the counter nodded, giving us a really weird look. About a minute later she hands us our tickets, and Will walks to the train, with me still in his arms.

"Will." I growl.

"Yes, Deathboy?~"

"Put. Me. Down." I demand, giving him my worst death glare.

"If I have to." He said, dropping me onto a comfy seat. "This can't be too bad. I mean, we get to spend four days together!~" He slides into the seat next to me and kisses my cheek.

"Yeah. I guess." I sit back, looking out the window next to me. "Goodbye, New York."
