When I've Fallen Too Deep

Chapter 10- The Masked Demon

UNEDITED

Wills P.O.V.

"NICO!"

Within second at least 6 other people are crowding Nico and the brown haired girl.

"Back up, back up! I'm trying to save his life and all so he doesn't die a slow and painful death so I'll appreciate you would for the love of Hades bACK UP!" She shooes them away, and continues working. They watch from a distance in horror at the boys nightmarish state.

"Someones, I don't give a dam who it is, just go get another Apollo camper to lend me a hand here"

Immediately Annabeth eyes lock into mine and she starts speed walking over to me. Having a tight grip on my wrist, she drags me over to his bed side. I look at her in complete confusion as she says "Here," And hands me a roll of bandages.

"What? He needs a profes-!"

"So you want him to die?"

"No! That not what I'm saying! I-"

"Then get to work."

I decide it's best to shut my mouth judging from the deathly look she gives me that says "save-him-or-ill-kill you".

I look down at Nico and get down on my knees to be at level view . Taking a deep breath while closing my eyes, I start wrapping the wounds.

________________________

When everyone else left the clinic, (besides the other sleeping patients ) I go to the edge of the bed next to the black haired boy waiting and hoping that his eyes will flutter open.

He looks so fragile laying there, but I know he is so much stronger on the inside. He had handled all of this, yet he still here. Still fighting. Against the odds.

I look out the window to see the night stars shinning brightly in the clammy black sky. My mom should be home about now and is probably worrying I am. I need to find a phone of somewhat to tell her I'm not dead.

I make my way to the door when a shift of a bed sounds the room from right behind me. When I turn my body to look for the sound, I see a none other than Nico with his eyes open and looking around in confusion before it sets in were he is.

His wondering eyes finally set on mine. I put my eyes up in surrender, not wanting him to run away again and get hurt. "Look, I'm not gonna hurt you. Okay?"

He looks at me wearily. He fumbles with his hands, not taking his eyes off mine, until they rest over his skull ring

The door nob jingles grabbing both our attention and ending our silent stare off. When the door opens, a girl around the same age as me with curly black hair and bright blue eyes stand before us.

"Chiron told me to go get someone named Will and tell him where he will be sleeping for the night." She whispers, not wanting to wake the other sleeping inhabitants of the building.

"Um, yeah thats me. I actually need to talk with him for a few minutes and clear somethings up, and sorta tell him Nicos awake and all"

"Okay, follow me" she turns around and out the door.

I looked at Nico once more, squeezing all my emotions toward him at once. Instead he just looks away quickly, apparently not wanting to make eyes contact again. I couldn't blame him.

I turn my body back around shamefully, and follow the blue eyed girl

Nicos Past P.O.V

I really should take a break on the shadow traveling...

Sighing, I tiredly walk over to my favorite tree and sit. Resting my back against the arch of the tree and looking up at the beautiful array of colors mixed up in the sky as if a child had taken their paint jar and scattered it across the heavens.

(Look at me trying to be a professional hehe...)

I simply can't process what happened today. Will Solace is now able to find me twenty four-seven. He can penatrate my walls even easier, in which I have spent years building. They were ment for people like him, yet apparently they aren't strong enough. Their walls are breaking. And when they shatter, I shatter too. Broken pieces can't pick themselves up either. There lost and in need of mending, yet no mending can be done to help them cause the damage is too far done.

********

I jerk my head up when I hear a loud sound erupting from somewhere nearby. Looking around in confusion, I get up and start looking around. Maybe leo wanted to make a grand entrance once again.

Instead, I got a nasty surprise. I stumble backwards in pain as red crimson seeps from the back of my left leg. What the living Tartarus.

I hold pressure to my leg, making sure no more blood finds it's way out. It looks like a sword or a knife cut. Before I even get to question how, and figure drops down from the tree above me. Now I'm confused as fuck.

"I've came to deliver a message" the hooded figure states confidently looking straight at me. I can't see anything but their dark brown eyes. The rest of He/She face and body is covered. A hooded mask covers their face,as black gloves hide the hands. Dark green tights and a large but moveable jacket on the rest of the body.

They walks over me and cuts my arm deeply. "I have been waiting days for the right moment ." A feminine voice says cutting me once again. I wince.

"You see, I have been in contact-" she cuts me for the third time making me back away untill my back touches a tree. "-with a darker force." Getting close enough were I can feel her breath on my face, she puts a dagger up my face, and slowly drags in downwards. The cold air makes the blood freezing. Soon enough she starts doing this non-stop on my whole body, stopping to say something in between.

"Their power has been brewing for months now. Now all we need is the element need. Need of revenge. The need to save. But as you can see, when they told me to deliver the message I could see the flaw in their plan. You not telling them. So you being on your death bed will make them suspensions." She ends. My eyes flutter close as the pain and blood loss becomes too much
