IN BETWEEN (Nico di Angelo) Percy Jackson Fanfic

Chapter 10

Words won't come out of my mouth. They gave us privacy, Daniel crouched down and took my clasped hands in his.

"Tell me, princess. Please" He begged.

I dragged my eyes to meet his and I couldn't help but sob again. He immediately wrapped his arms around me and ran his hands through my hair, his way of soothing me.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry" I cried on his shoulder.

"Shhh... its fine"

"No!... I'm sorry. Terribly sorry! I-I should've been honest with you, Dan" I hugged him tightly.

gods of Olympus! I love him so much!

"It's not your fault, princess" He kissed my forehead.

He keeps on telling me that it wasn't my fault while I keep on nodding my head to assure myself. Once I calmed down, a water bottle was passed down by the demigods with us. Preferably Persassy.

"Give me a smile, princess" Daniel says, grinning at me.

I gave him a small smile and he immediately grinned from ear to ear.

"That's my girl!" He kissed my cheeks before kissing my lips. I closed my eyes and savored my boyfriend's lips.

I heard a gasped from the distance and followed by a grunt.

"What was that for, Piper!?"

That was Nico. Shit! I almost forgot about us. I'm so freaking screwed up. Daniel pulled away and stared deeply into my eyes. I caught myself staring into Daniel's now violet eyes.

"I love you, my princess Seraphina" He said. Holy Hera! I'm starting to melt!

"I love you too, my guardian angel" I replied.

When I looked at our friends, they were in awe manner. Expect Nico. He looked at us like he was in pain, his eyes told me his every saddest, painful and darkest memories.

Damn this connection between children of the underworld!

My breathing hitched the good thing was Daniel was oblivious about what was happening to me. Or else there will a lot of explaining to do.

Hazel seemed to pinched Nico cause he jumped up.

-----

"I thought I was first!" Nico exclaimed.

He pulled me aside to 'ask' me about my health, honestly it was asking for answers.

"Obviously, my siblings lied to you"

"And you didn't even care!?"

"Why should I care? As if you like me" I whispered the last phrase.

"Of course I like you! Can't you see?" He said, I met his eyes and saw the pain in his eyes and the memories of him reading to me, feeding me, in McDonald's and kissing me on the roof flooded inside my head.

I have to be strong.

"No, I don't" I answered firmly.

"You don't mean that" He scoffed.

"I mean it. Daniel Grigori is my boyfriend and that's all that matters" I stood my ground.

Heck!!!

Nico walked away angrily while I took deep breaths before walking back. We were inside an English restaurant called 'Paul', it was cozy with English designed chairs and tables. Since it was afternoon, they ordered the tea set. The demigods were having a good time with the Fallen.

Children of Greek and Roman demigods having a good time with the Fallen angels of Heaven.

Holy Guacamole! I wanted to faint!

Lucinda Price was Daniel's lover but this time instead of choosing Daniel, she chose Cameron and that was fine by me since I got Daniel for myself. Daniel was shattered when Luce chose Cam over him and I was there to watch. At the time, Neither of them knows about my heritage and I was the one who put Daniel on his head on track again.

I am his princess and he is my angel.

The Throne gave Daniel what he wanted since they granted Luce's wish. He was happy with me, he was curse less. Yet, I have a curse on my own.

I always choose the wrong person.

That sucks, right?

Anyway.... They all greeted me with bright smiles when they noticed that I'm back. Daniel asked me if I was fine and of course I told him I was. Andrei asked me as well.

"He was angry" I answered in our private conversation.

"Of course he was! Everything's going to be fine, sis. Wendy didn't stopped her rapid mouth on talking" He grumbled.

"Don't blame it on her. I know we should've been honest with all of them"

"That will only anger father"

"At least they know! I'm a mess!" I whined.

"No you're not. If you're a mess, I'm a mess as well and you know I don't like when people think that I'm a mess. I can take it if it's 'Troublemaker' because that's what we're known for"

He winked at me and I giggled. We ended our conversation and my boyfriend whispered to me.

"Will you go back to that camp?" He whispered.

"If I don't go back, I'll die" I answered.

"I understand your situation but promise me one thing" He pulled my chin up to meet his violet eyes.

"What is it?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"Don't let the son of Hades catch you again" The jealousy in his voice was enough for me to know what he's asking me. It happened to Luce, Cam managed to pierce their hearts together, leaving Daniel alone and broken.

He's afraid of losing me.

"Can I be friends with him?" I asked since there will always be a time that the children of the underworld will need each other's arms.

"Just friends and nothing else. Promise me that, princess"

"I swear on the River of Styx" I swore demigod style. It means a lot if you're a demigod. He rose an eyebrow and I grinned.

"The way of demigods and gods, not the capital G, of promising. It's binding and it means we're swearing on our lives" I said.

"I like the sound of that" He chuckled.

-------

"Chiron!!! Can I go!!!??" I asked cheerfully, Chiron let the Fallen enter Camp Half Blood and he's watching us all.

"Seraphina" He said in a warning tone.

"Please!!! Pretty pleaseeeeeee"
