Nico X Reader - Lucky

Chapter 19

I jumped. I felt airborne for probably only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity. I felt my feet hit the water and soon my head was in engulfed in the water. I heard the sound of rushing water in my ears as I floated in the water. I waited a moment before resurfacing and taking in a breath. I examined my surroundings and saw a shore nearby. I swam to it and crawled out of the water. I looked to the cliff I jumped off of but didn't see the enchantress. She gave up that easily?

I shook it off and took this chance to run. I ran as far as my feet could go through the dense forest. It seemed to go on forever. I stopped to take a breath. A little farther ahead, I saw what looked like an opening. I gained my energy again and ran to it. Once I got there I found something that made me stop dead in my spot.

It was the house again.

I turned around and ran the other way. I ran the distance that I had to get from the lake but when I got there all I found was the house. I ran in every direction possible but they all lead back to that house.

The last time I ran into the house I saw her there. She was standing at the door, leaning against it, with her arms crossed.

An evil grin crossed her face. "I wouldn't let you get away that easily."

Leo's pov*

"I'm already dead."

"How are you dead?" I asked.

"Because I died." He responded sarcastically.

"Really? Thanks Sherlock. How would we have figured that out without you?" Percy retorted.

"Ok, yes I'm dead. But I'm here because I was sent."

"By who?" Percy asked sharply.

"Nico Di Angelo."

"Where is he? How and why did he send you. Who even are you?" Percy shooted.

"Ok one question at a time... He's stuck, he summoned me, because he's in trouble, and I'm someone who knows what you're up against."

"What are we up against?" Annabeth asked calmly.

"An enchantress. She's taken over or possessed (y/n) and is trying to kill all the gods and demigods."

"Why?"

"A long time ago she started using her magic for bad things so us demigods did what we thought was best and locked her soul in a house. That house later became a bookstore which (y/n) visited in Italy. Since we burnt the enchantresses body, she possessed another one. Which by the way, we didn't know she could do that."

"So where is she?"

"Italy, again."

"Are they at the bookstore?"

"No, she took Nico to some house in the middle of a wooded area."

"I have a question." I said, raising my hand slightly.

They all looked at me. "Why did she take Nico?"

"My guess is that Nico was getting suspicious of her and she didn't want him to tell all of you." He responded.

I nodded then went back to just listening.

"How do we stop her?" Percy asked. He had his fists clenched tight and his face had an angry and determined look. Like he was ready to kill anyone.

"We can't really do anything. Most of this relies on (y/n). She has to kill her and banish her from her mind or something. It won't be an easy task, but I think she can do it. She's a very strong person."

"Ok, I have one more question." I said again. "Why did Nico send you personally?"

"Because I've delt with the enchantress already. I was the one who sent her to the bookstore and burnt her body."

I nodded once again then shut up.

There was a short silence before Percy broke it. "Well, what are we waiting for? We need to go to Italy."

~Ok. This was a bit of a shorter chapter. I thought I had published this part about a week before Christmas, but apparently I didn't. So here you go. My next update will be sometime around my birthday is think.

Getting close to the end so be prepared.

Since nobody has given their opinions on if they want a sad or happy ending yet, I'm doing both!

Yep, both. I'm going to make two ending chapters that has one ending sad and the other ending happy. It can be your choice of which you want to read.

Well that's all I have for you guys, thanks so much for reading, ily!~
