I grabbed my blade and started dragging it across my wrist. I had done that about 10 times when I heard a knock at the door.
'Just a second.' I say throwing on a sweater.
Just then Nico walks in.
'Hey, you can come outside today if you feel up to it.' He tells me.
Then you see him stare, and stop talking.
'Crystal, why is there blood on your sweater?' He asks.
Crud. I think.
'I'm a clutz?' I say even though it sounded more like a question.
'Pull up your sleeves.' He demands.
I look down and slowly pull them up. You can hear the gasp, from a mile a way.
'Why?' He asks.
'Cause all the guilt has caught up with me. I've cause so many deaths Nico, and to top it off, I almost got you guys killed.' I reply, tears welling up in my eyes.
'We didn't die, even if we did, it wasn't your fault. It was the fates. Whose death did you 'cause'.' He says with air quotes around cause.
'I caused 15 demigods to die Nico. They went on a quest to save me from Tartarus, and the all died. I didn't know until I escaped myself, with the help of a guy named Luke. I blame mself for their deaths. Cause I trusted Kelli.' After I explain, I'm swept up in a hug from him.
'Did you ever ask if they forgave you?'
'No, I can't summon the dead, only cause the pain and death.'
'Let's go summon some dead people, so they can explain it to you.' He says.

As we dug a hole, I kept crying. My mind was trapped in a flashback of being captured and tortured, then being blamed for 15 deaths. I think Nico noticed because he called my attention and started talking to me.
The topic could have been better.
'Who all are we calling?'
'Zoey, Leon, Trish, Xavior, Cal, Cearra, Caila, Gianna, John, Dawn, Anya, Renee, Brian, Brad, and Chris.'
'That's a lot of people. There's no way your responsible for that.'
'I know I am.'
'We'll see.'
Nico did he chanting thing and they all appeared.
'I'm so sorry guys.' I say.
'It's not your fault, we went on our own free will.' Said Leon
'Why did you go?' Asks Anya
'It's is my fatal flaw. Trusting all.' I reply to her.
'We thought you were a traitor at first, then we reviewed the quest and it changed most of our minds.' Says Brad.
'I'm sorry I killed you all. I should have died down there.' I say.
'Please don't blame yourself.' I hear Zoey say.
'Don't do anything stupid because of this.' Says Brian.
'Too late for that.' I hear Nico say.
'What do you mean? Crissy, what have you been doing?' Asks Leon.
'I started cutting and have become very depressed, I don't really eat, I just wanna die.' I mumble, hoping they heard me.
'Please stop for us? If we see you down here, we will not talk to you.' Says Leon.
'Move on. And forgive yourself. Only you can do that.' Says Dawn and Cal.
'I'll try.' I respond.
'We have to go back now. So please recover for us?' Asks Leon.
'I'll think about it.' I respond.
'Ok.' They say with a sigh.
'Bye Crissy.' They all say in unison, as the image disappears.
I fall to my knees, balling my eyes out. Nico comes and consoles me.
'Let's head back to the cabin, you need to rest.'
I nod my head, and he shadow travels us back to the cabin.
