Nico had Iris Messaged Will to see if he even bothered looking for him. He watched in horror as he heard Leo exclaiming how they were going to look for Nico on a tracking device. Nico listened in as Leo explained how it worked. Wills coming looking for you. He's loves you, Nico, he's coming back because he loves you, he's coming back to punish you for leaving without letting him have the satisfaction of breaking up with you.

Nico slashed through the Mist and ended the Message without Will noticing him.

Nico wandered the streets of Venice, each turn bringing back old memories from over 70 years ago. The buildings had changed in that time, making the town almost unrecognizable. Almost. Nico stumbled across an old building, still in ruins after 70 years. An old hotel. Remains of ashes still there. The hotel that Zeus struck in an attempt to kill the di Angelos, killing Maria di Angelo. Hot tears were streaming down Nico's pale face.

Almost 5 hours had gone by, and Nico had finally found a forest that he would probably be staying in for the rest of his life. Nico took out his Stygian Iron sword from his belt and placed it on his wrist, horizontally. No! Don't do it! Wills coming, help is coming! It's not going to do any damage, it's not vertical, it's not cutting the whole vein, just a bit of it. Just do it. Nico cut, only once, he decided it would do it once every day until he was happy again, which probably will never happen. Blood was dripping down his arm and tears were dropping down his face.

He decided to Iris Message Will again to see if they were in Europe to find him.

"There are two dots!! He's in Venice!" Nico heard a familiar latino voice exclaim. Will turned around as if to be looking around and saw the Message. Nico yelped, startled by Wills stare. His arm quickly ended the Message...again. Faster than Nico could think, he shadow travelled, not knowing where he would end up. All he remembered was landing in the middle of an al girl crowd, a red haired girl rushing towards him, black spots taking over his vision.

Rachel's POV:

Rachel stopped short, watching as a small boy appeared out of nowhere, girls forming a circle around him. Rachel tried to looked over the girls to see who it was, and as soon as she saw the brown jacket, Stygian sword, and dark hair, she rushed towards the dying figure.

"Nico? NICO!!" Rachel and Nico weren't close, but they knew each other. The first thing Rachel did was check if Nico had a pulse...he did.

"Thank gods," she muttered, "GET TO CLASS EVERYONE, NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" She yelled to the surrounding girls. Some of them shrugged, but all of them continued on to class. Except for Holly. (She's an OC) Holly was a daughter of Hecate, she was the only one who actually knew Rachel as the Oracle of Delphi. She rushed towards Rachel.

"Do you know him?" Holly asked.

"Yes, he's a son of Hades. His name is Nico di Angelo." Rachel answered. "He's passed out, probably from shadow traveling too much, can you Iris Message Percy Jackson, please?"

Holly nodded and ran to the bathroom.

"Oh, Nico," Rachel whispered, examining his cut, "what happened?"

"Hey Rachel! Come here!" Holly yelled to Rachel. Rachel picked up Nico, who was surprisingly light.

"NICO!!!" Percy yelled through the message.

"Percy, what's going on! Where are you!?"

Percy explained how Nico disappeared and how they were looking for him. Rachel explained how she found him.

"Wait, Nico has a boyfriend?" Holly asked.

"Yeah, and as soon as you called, he rushed to the school. He's probably almost there, since his dad took him."

"His dad being..." Rachel asked.

"Apollo"

Almost on cue, a bright light shone through the windows and a tall, tan boy with blonde hair and blue eyes rushed through the front doors of the school. Rachel stepped out of the bathroom with Nico laying lifeless in her arms.

"Nico!" The boy shouted, presumably the boyfriend. He darted towards Rachel and took the scrawny boy from her arms.

"He appeared here only a few minutes, then passed out. I-I found a-a cut on his, um, wrist. Sorry." Rachel explained.

"Nothing was your fault, thank you actually, for calling and finding him. I-I just," the boy couldn't continue, he started crying. Apollo walked into the room in his mortal form.

"Hi Rachel! Hi Nico! You found him! Oh what happened?" Apollo saw our sad expressions, and Nico's cut and frowned too. "Well, my little Oracle, my gay son, Will, I think we need to heal Nico, do you have anywhere we can?"

Rachel ushered Apollo, Will, and Nico into the girls bathroom where Holly was waiting. Then she locked the door.
