Nico feet ached. His heart raced. His eyes stung with tears. His head hurt. He wished he could curl up and sleep and never wake up. He wished this was all a nightmare. He wished he could wake up at camp half blood, and go see his friends. He wished things could just be easy, for once. But that was something that would never happen. Life was never easy. His life was never easy.
For some reason, if he tried to shadow travel, he could only go 100 miles at a time and each time he did he felt weaker.
As night fell Nico was having trouble breathing. His head was spinning. His knees buckling. He was only in Tennessee and he had 17 hours left.
His mind raced. How would he find Annabeth once he got to Maine? How could he explain the logic behind his choice? How could he tell Annabeth that he had let her boyfriend die. How could he ever look at her again? He pushed the thoughts aside. He had to save her. That's what Percy would want.
Nico pressed on. The icy wind ripped through his clothes as he passed through each state. Slowly making his way, to save Annabeth.
By the time the sun rose again, he was crossing the Ohio state line. 8 hours until the deadline and he was stile miles away.
"I'd have to shadow travel the rest of the way or I won't make it," he thought.
He mustered all his strength and just as he felt himself move, he collapsed.

HEY! How's it hanging?? Good? Any tears? Yet? No? That's ok, I'll get you later. 😏😏😏
