Daughter of Artimes (Nico di Angleo x reader)

Seventeen

Y/n's pov

"Hold still," Sara tells me as she does my hair.

Today was the day of the wedding and bombing. Today was the day where I would sacrifice true love to save countless lives. I met with Nico a week ago to tell him what's going on. He didn't take me saying yes well but he did understand that it would save lives.

Sara finishes my hair and gets up. "So what weapon goes with a wedding dress?" She asks her self. "Why do I need a weapon?" I walk over to the table with many different types of blades. "Because you never know if you'll need one," I laugh at her and grab my sister's old blade. A Katrina.

For those of you who don't know what Katna's are they are long Chinese swords that are deadly and hard to use without cutting a limb off. I take it and put the sheath around my waist.

The two of us walk to the place where the ceremony was taking place. I hear the wedding march music play and I walk down the aisle. Demigods stand up as I walk towards Astor. Taking a deep breath and I face him. Since we couldn't get a mortal priest one of the demigods was taking their place.

"Do you Astor take y/n to be your lawful wife. To love and to hold this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you apart?" Astor stars into my eyes. "I do," He says smiling putting the ring on my finger.

"Do you y/n take Astor to be your lawful husband. To love and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you apart?" I hesitate. This isn't what I want. I want to love Nico forever. But this is the right thing to do, right? Astor's smile fades a little. I bit my lip and decided that I need to save the camps.

Suddenly, I hear gasps. I look down the aisle to see Nico in the doorway. He's in a black tux and his hair is still messy. Our eyes make contact. I let go of Astor's hands and walk down towards Nico. "Y/n, what are you-" I cut Sara off. "Enough," I reach Nico and before he can say anything I grab this shirt and kiss him. Putting all of my emotion into that one kiss. We pull back for air. I look into his eyes. Completely ignoring everyone in the room.

"If you can't make your mind y/n then di Angelo and I will duel to the death for your hand," Astor says. I roll my eyes. "Not happening," I guess that got to Astor's head. "Because you know I'll win?" He asks. "No, you suck, I know Nico would win and it wouldn't be pretty," I hear a few people say 'oooh'.

Astor looks at me and I realize what he's going to do. I pull out my Katana right as Astor pulls something out of his pocket. Now, what is so bad about him pulling something out of his pocket is that what he pulled out was a button that if it's pressed the bombs are launched.

"Nico please tell me you brought back up?" I ask hopefully. "Of course he did," I hear a voice that's not Nico's say. I see Kayla, Will, Reyna, the seven, and a lot of people from the camps come over to me. I smile at them. Kayla pulls out a bow and pulls quiver. The one that our mother gave us. "Thought you might want something," I take the quiver and put it on my back.

"Y/n, how could you!?" Sara yells/asks me. "Sara, I'm sorry," I tell her. She looks at me in the eyes. She turns around and takes the button out of Astor's hand. "Sara, don't do this. You're better then this," I tell her. She doesn't say anything. "Well, I want to fight some people so let's go," a daughter of Ares says. A few demigods agree and all pull-out swords. "Let's fight," I say. Everyone stars fighting. Kayla and a few Apollo kids shot arrows while others fought with swords or other blades. After a while, we were more even but our side still lost a few fighters.

I get an idea that's completely crazy.

I'm going to dismantle the bombs.

I run out of the room, trying not to fall in the heels, and run downstairs.
