Chapter 13- Nico's POV-

After I exited the infirmary, I went to go see what Percy had needed. I pushed open the bunker door and I found everyone gathered around the coffee table, staring at the set of battle plans Desirée had given us.

Everyone looked uneasy and fidgety, like something was wrong. Well there was something wrong with this picture other than those things; Desirée wasn't here with me.

"What could you possibly want right now? I haven't seen her in two weeks!" I exclaimed, feeling a bit angry.

Percy winced and Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, Leo, and Annabeth all looked just plain confused.

I really didn't care and I wasn't all that surprised that Percy hadn't told them that Desirée was here in the camp.

"I know, but there's the part where Pericles escaped..." Percy trailed off.

I blinked and I scowled, until it all sank in. He escaped?! How the hell could he have escaped?! Why that stupid son of a..... Endless obscenities clouded my thoughts and I couldn't shake them off.

"If he went back to Gaea's army, the idiot could've blabbed to her about Desirée actually being on our side and not hers." I growled.

Who knew what Gaea would do if she got ahold of Desirée after Pericles told her. I've always hated Pericles.....

"I know, and that's what I'm afraid of." Percy worried.

Hazel stepped forward, with her eyebrows scrunched up together. She wanted to ask something, and when she did, she asked Percy.

Not me, Percy. It's like I don't even exist anymore! That's how much of an unloved brother I am. I couldn't stop the scowl that made its way onto my face.

"Wait, so Desirée's here?" She asked Percy, puzzled.

The ground shook and glass stuff fell from the shelves, like plates and coffee cups and things of that nature.

My ears started to ring, like they always did when someone close to me was about to die, and I went to say something about it to Percy, but I was interrupted before I could.

A loud noise had erupted, like the crashing of a building..... Oh for the love of all that's holy... the infirmary..... Impossible....

We all scrambled out of the bunker and we watched, helplessly, as the infirmary building collapsed... with Desirée inside.

"Oh for the love of all that's holy, I am going to kill Pericles once I get my hands around his scrawny little neck!" I shouted.

I startled everyone around me as I yelled angrily at no one in particular, and I felt like everything inside of me was hollowed out.

I felt like an empty shell, and my anger caused skeletal warriors by the hundreds sprout out all around the camp.

Many people must've died here, considering how many skeletal warriors appeared.

Maybe there was a breach in security and they were killed by monsters. Who knew what happened here...

I wanted with all of my soul to think that Desirée had survived the building collapsing, but I knew in my heart that she hadn't.

My right eye twitched in fury and I sneered. My fists clenched and everyone, except for Percy, stared wide eyed at me in shock.

Percy was hyperventilating a little, but no one really noticed, which would've worried me a little if I hadn't just lost one of the only people that I truly loved. I muttered obscenities under my breath.
