Nico X Reader - Lucky

Chapter 14

You were walking through one of the museums, next to Annabeth. Percy and Leo had started to lose interest already and Nico loved to admire everything in there. He had caught up with you and Annabeth and wrapped his arm around your waist. He looked at the painting you were admiring. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yea, it is... I just wish I knew what it was."

No disrespect to the artist, but it was like an explosion on the canvas. It looked beautiful, but you had no idea what on earth, or beyond earth, what it's supposed to be. Nico giggled lightly. "It's a lake with the reflection of the green, red, and brown trees. Then to see white spots are birds. The pink is flowers floating in the lake and the light green are lily pads." He explained while pointing at the painting.

"Ok, now I see it." You smiled and dragged Nico to the next painting.

~Timeskipy stuff~

We were all walking to the leaning tower of Pisa and you loved looking in the shops.your weren't that far from the tower, but you really wanted to check out this last books store. The boys decided to stay outside while you and Annabeth awed over books. You picked one off of a dusty shelf. The Wizard Of Oz. One my favorites. I placed it back on the shelf and walked to the next shelf that had some new books on it. You took your hand and ran it across the spine of the books and read them. Tiger Lily, The Thief Of Always, InkHeart, To All The Boys I've Loved Before, P.S I Still Love You, Dorthy Must Die, The Red Pyramid ~😉~, and a few others. They all looked so interesting. You were so lost in the maze of books that you didn't realize that Annabeth had left to go to the upstairs part of the bookshop.

You wre looking at a book, The Phantom of the Opera and you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned around and made a hmm sound, but found nobody there. You stood there and looked around the corners carefully, but still found nothing. "Nuh uh! Oh hell no! Not today!" You ran up the stairs in search of the blond headed bookworm. "Annabeth!?" You shout whispered. "....." "ANNABETH!!??" Still nothing. You searched all upstairs, but found that nobody was there. You checked downstairs, but still got the same results. 'Where is everyone?' You thought.

'Maybe I should ask the guys if she came outside.' So you left the bookstore. The weird thing was that you couldn't hear a thing. No talking, no people walking, no cars, nothing. You opened the door cautiously and gasped. There was not a single soul outside. You ran into the street but still found nothing. You checked live news channels. Nothing. All the people in the world just stopped existing. You started to panic even more now. You wanted to close your eyes and make everyone come back. Just wake up and have it all be over. But sadly when your eyes opened the world was still silent. Dead.

You sat on the bench closest to you and started to think. You realized you had started crying. 'What's going on? What if nobody comes back, ever? Where did they all go?' Thoughts kept pouring through your head with questions, but only one really scared you. 'What am I going to do?'

Annabeth's pov*

While I was on the second floor of the bookstore I noticed that it was getting late so I started making my way out. (Y/n) was nowhere in the store, so I figured she was outside. I went to the spot where we had left the boys and sure enough, there she was. She was sitting by the water fountain next to Nico, with her hand entwined in his. "Hey are you all ready to go?"

Percy attacked me with a hug and nodded his head. "You took sooo long. I thought you disappeared or something."

I giggled. "No, I just got lost in the books. There have some really neat architecture tip books there." I began telling Percy about some of them and he had a face that was like every word I said was gold.

"Well while you were gone, we all made wishes in the fountain. All except Percy. He said he wanted to wait for you so you could both make a wish together. It's so cute I could puke." Leo said while balancing on a ledge that was going over the water.
