Do You Still Love Me? (Solangelo) (Completed)

Chapter Thirty-Two

Nico's POV...

Percy's not here. Well I can't see him so I am going to assume that he is gone, but I'm not going to call out. I get out of bed and start running, dragging my hand against the wall. I can feel blood soaking my hand, but I don't care.

I take a deep breath before I ran out of the cave. I am instantly soaked. I start swimming up. I can see the sun above the water. I can't hold my breath much longer. I keep swimming. I have to get to Will I have to.

My head brakes through the surface. I take a deep breath. I can see camp, I can swim there. I am in the lake. I feel weak and exhausted from swimming this far, but I am thinking about Will. Just past those woods Will Solace, my fiancé, is there. He must be worried sick about me.

I have to keep swimming. I have to force myself to keep going. I start swimming and I am getting closer to camp. I feel like my lungs are going to give out. I keep swimming. I feel hope and happiness. I am not scared anymore. I can be free. I am free. I am going to see Will!

I feel something wrap around my ankle. I start to panic as I take a sharp breath. Suddenly I am pulled under the water and spun around. I see Percy floating in the water next to me. He wraps me up in his arms and his lips crash into mine.

"What part about staying with me forever do you not understand!?" Percy demands, slinging me on the bed. "I hate to do this but I have to punish you."

I can hear my heart pounding louder than ever. I am scared to cry, move, or even make a sound. He rolls me over and he has the dagger in his hand. My eyes widen and I start shaking. I cry out in pain and sadness as the blade pierces my stomach...
