Darkness {Sequel To "Nightmares"}

Future

A.N: So, real quick, before I start the chapter, I wanted to let you know that there will probably be only two-three more fluff chapters before sadness starts. The ending of this book will be the final, final ending, and, well.... Good luck. (Also: The media above is way sadder if you read it backwards.)

Nico's P.O.V

I nervously twisted the promise ring Will had given me around my finger. It had looking since took the place of my skull ring... It felt better, happier...

Other than being blind, my life must be going great, right? I've got a loving boyfriend, caring friends, a too-sweet-for-her-own-good half sister, random visions of countless people dying in gruesome ways...

That last one? Yeah. I already explained my little "vision" problem... Well, it seems that whenever I see these things, it's literally the moment they're dying. Nothing I can do. I don't even know these people; I'm just watching them die...

"You okay?" Will's voice pipes up from the silence. Dammit... You got lost in thought again...

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I smile falsely, lying.

"Oh, no reason. I've just been talking to you for the past few minutes without response..."

"Alright, alright." I put my hands up in surrender. "I zoned out. Sorry for not listening to you explain in horrifyingly vivid detail how to sew up a wound, or cut off an arm..."

"Well, I was actually talking about surgery... But, fine. What do you want to talk about?" He asks, nudging my shoulder. We're sitting side-by-side on one of the bunks in my cabin, talking. We do this in our free time almost everyday, now, sometimes he'll take me out to a café... He once accidentally asked if I wanted to go to a movie with him... 'Oh, yeah! I've really been looking forward to listening to that one!'

I shifted my weight, rolling onto my back and placing my head upon his lap. "I dunno." I shrug. "The future?"

There was a small pause. "Like, "flying cars" kinda future, or "our future as a couple" kinda future...?"

"Well, I was thinking our future together, but if you wanna talk about flying cars, then be my guest." I laugh.

"Couple-y-ness it is." He laughs. "Well... How long do you want to wait?"

"Until what?"

"Marriage, I guess.... I mean, we are going to get married someday, right?" He somewhat nervously inquires.

"I was expecting so... How about after I'll twenty-one? We can't have a wedding without alcohol, now can we?" I jokingly wink at him.

"I guess we can't..." He leans over, kissing my cheek. "So, you promise to marry me once you're twenty-one?"

"Unless if I die." I kid.

"No dying allowed."

"Well, in that case... I do." I smile brightly, sitting up and hugging him. Heh returns the favor with his warm embrace, wrapping his toned arms around my waist.

We kiss.
It's nice. Kissing my boyfriend without interruption every now-and-then is nice. But, the universe doesn't want me to have nice things.

"Hey!" Hazel swings the door open, scaring both me and Will so much that I fall off the bed.

"Ow..."

"Oh... Were you two having a moment? Sorry...." She shied away from us.

"It's okay, Hazel... C'mon in, it's your cabin too." I motion her in.

"Well, I was actually sent to let you two know that lunch is about to start, so... Yeah...... I'm gonna go, now."

"Wait!" I call to her. "Don't you dare tell anyone we were in here, well... Making out." I scratch the back of my neck. "Will's only supposed to be in here for medical reasons...."

"Don't worry." She laughs. "Your secret's safe with me."

A.N: Sorry for the short-ass chapter... I just wanted something sweet and fluffy for right now... Seeya next time!~
