Cosmic Love [A Nico Di Angelo Love Story]

Frozen

Don't start singing let it go...

Nico's P.O.V

I tried to ignore the burning pain that was coming from my shoulder and thigh. This was unsurprisingly hard, as it felt like hell- and believe me, I know what hell feels like.

My eyes darted over to Pietra's lifeless body, her skin so pale it blended into the ice beneath her. She was frozen on the ground, like a battered snowflake crumpled upon dry ice. A snowflake that was forbidden to melt.

The only movement that ensured she was alive was the flicker of her eyes, darting over to Khione with difficulty. There wasn't even a slight rise of her chest to ensure me that she was breathing.
Her face was frozen in a permanent cry of pain-
-and that was what hurt the most.

Khione's back was currently facing me as she sneered down at Pietra with clenched fists. I could feel Pietra's desperation to move coming off her in waves of energy as she tried to put up a fight. I grit my teeth, looking down at my own mangled limbs. 
I've had worse.
Way worse.
Not saying it doesn't feel like crap- but either way, I'm gonna have to deal with this.

As I pushed myself up, I choked on a scream that was rising in my throat, then heaved myself into a seating position as quietly as possible. Even though I was currently freezing my ass off, sweat began to drip from my forehead as my battered limbs cried out in pain with every inch of a move that I made. 

I just need to get to my sword- it was only 2 metres away- but every move I made felt like getting hit by a car over and over again.
It freaking sucked.
But nothing hurt more than when I heard a sickening crack erupt from Pietra's frozen body.
In the corner of my eye, I saw Khione launching a high heeled foot into Pietra's side. I winced, forcing my body to move quicker towards the sword.
Khione launched another kick at her side. Another crack.

By the next kick, I was holding my sword weakly in my shaking hand. I crept up silently behind Khione, Stygion Iron sword wobbling as I winced at every kick she made. I was just bringing my sword back to swing at Khione when something made me stop.

Crack!

Khione's blow to Pietra's gut had caused a crack in her skin. Not her ribs, but her skin. It was like she was made out of porcelain. Pietra let out a strangled cry as Khione (a satisfied look on her face) launched another kick at her ribs. Another crack appeared.

"NO!!!"

I swung my sword into Khione's side and she crumpled to the ground, taken by surprise and by a really sharp 'sucking soul' sword. Blood started seeping out of Khione's wound and a scream rang out from Lucas, sitting against the ice at the entrance. 

The scary thing was that I didn't even care.

Right now, all I cared about was the fact that my Pietra was physically shattering to pieces on an ice cold floor. I choked back a sob of desperation as I dove to Pietra's side, ignoring everything that wasn't her.

I examined her shattered side- trying to keep keep out the desperation that I was feeling,  switching my mind to business. I gently placed a hand on her cracked side, then recoiled in shock. Her skin, covered in ice, was burning hotter than fire. I slid my glance away from my hand and onto her body, gasping when I found my hand printed on her skin, releasing her flesh from the ice in only that print.

I flung my body onto hers, covering her frozen flesh with mine. My body was now burning in agony and I felt like I had been covered in paper cuts and then thrown into a pool of lemon and salt.

I didn't care that the pain that I was feeling was worse than anything I had ever felt in my life.
Because to be honest, it wasn't. 

The only thing that ever felt worse was the thought that Pietra might not make it. As I covered her body with mine- I was being pushed to the edge both in my mind and in my body. I was being driven crazy by the fact that the one person who had completely messed me up emotionally, mentally and physically, wouldn't be there to freaking stay with me to do just that for the rest of my freaking meaningless life.

Lots of people blurt out everything in their system when they are faced with death or extreme pain. And although I don't take anything back- I want to have an excuse. So if anyone ever asks about the thoughts that were running through my mind (and Hades knows how  you got a hold of them), I was being driven to the edge of sanity. And if they ask by what or who- punch them in the face.

Lucas' P.O.V

I wanted to warn her.
I wanted to save her.
I wanted to do something for her.

I wanted to show her that I can do great things. That I'm not a failure. That I'm not the weak link in the chain of Geia's warriors.

But as she crumpled to the ground, my scream tore out all of the energy I had left in my body.
But in my head I swore that I will make it up to her.
I swore that I would seek revenge.
I swore that I will be great.

 And there was one more thing...
I swore that we will win this war
