To Scared To Love: One Last Stunt

Leo's POV

I was in the hospital cabin for a while now. The burning had stopped mostly and had subsided to a faint sting. I loved ambrosia. The rest of the seven have been in contact with the hunters and they said Nico had made it back safely but I still wanted to see him with my own eyes. I still can't believe I was friends with that monster. Piper is taking it the hardest though. She refused to believe it was him. I heard the door to the hospital slam and footsteps running. My "room" curtain was pushed open and I was met with the distressed face of Percy.

"The hunters just go here." He sounded panicked.

"Why is that a bad thing?" I questioned. "What happened?" He couldn't meet my eyes.

"Jason pulled a stunt before they could fully restrain him." He murmured. My face paled.

"Why the hell did the hunters let him do that?" I hissed. This was a life we were talking about. A life that was more important than anyone's in the seven. For fucks sake if it wasn't for him Percy would've been dead before I even met him, Thalia wouldn't have become a hunter, and Kronos would've won in the first place.

"They couldn't control the lightning! Thalia tried but it ended up Nico got hit double. It was an accident." Percy explained.

"Double. He got hit with double the amount I got hit with." I said in a whisper. He nodded sheepishly.

"I'm gonna kill him!" A voice screamed. Hazel threw open the curtain and plopped down in the other chair. Her eyes were red and puffy. Frank slipped in and squatted behind her. He kissed her cheek and grabbed her hand.

"It's gonna be ok. He's not dead. He'll hold on." He cooed.

"Jason was already taken care of." Annabeth said from the "door".

"Well we know how Jason is! He's a golden boy that will escape somehow." Hazel wailed.

"Jason is taken care of. He's in the most secure prison known to the gods." Annabeth reassured her.

"Known to god?" Piper asked. When did she get here? Annabeth nodded. An Apollo kid wormed his way in.

"The boy, Nico, still isn't responding but we have his levels under control now and if he has the will power we think he'll pull through. Except for one thing. His leg was so heavily damaged that we don't think that it will respond ever again. It would be best to amputate it if we get one of his relatives permission." He explained looking at Hazel. "My dad, Apollo, is going to come and help Nico himself. After that it's all up to him whether or not he wants to wake up." He finished. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Apollo?" Percy asked. "Seriously? I mean guys this is awesome. Nico will definitely wake up now!" He exclaimed. Everyone else was silent.

"You're really not that think. Are you?" I asked.

"What? He knows him family is here." He argued.

"Please. Everyone in his family is dead. I'm only his half sister." Hazel put in.

"Do you know what kind of hell is life was?" Annabeth asked.

"I mean of course but now he's safe." Percy said.

"He's scared Percy. The first time he thought he was safe his sister died. The second time he was thrown in a bronze jar. The third time he was thrown into Tartarus, and now his abusive boyfriend, that we didn't even notice almost killed him!" Hazel yelled. "Do you really think he would trust us again?" Gods the kid went through a lot. Percy fell silent.

"Let's just focus on getting him ready to wake up." Piper said.

Nico's POV

I was in Tartarus again. No.No.No. I thought I escaped. No! I barely survived last time. Now I can barely walk the the fire water is miles away. I guess this is how it ends. It's funny. I thought I would go saving someone. A heroes death. But I wasn't a hero. I was a son of the most repulsive god ever know to man. He had the biggest ego I've ever seen and didn't give a shit about anyone. Like father like son. I deserved to die. Everyone agrees. I was the freak. The one who was always closest to death. For gods sake I can barely eat without feeling like a pig. Jason just confirmed my fears. I was a little slut that wasn't worth half as much as Jason. He was perfect. I wasn't. I crawled all over Percy and any other guy that was mildly cute. I layed down and let my skin burn. No one was going to help me anyways.

"Nico you little shit don't give up!" I heard a voice shout. Leo! I shot up and looked around the barren wasteland.

"Come on!" He yelled. I got up and looked around again.

"You can't give up on me!" His voice was everywhere.

"No. You're not leaving us!" No! Where was he! I had to find him.

"Just come towards my voice!" I grabbed my hair and screamed,

"I want to find you! but you're everywhere!" Just then a hand rested on my shoulder and everything went away. Leo's voice. Tartarus. The pain. I turned around and saw Bianca. Oh gods.

"Bianca!" I called.

"Hey little brother." She started and let a tear fall down her face, "you helped me, now I'm gonna help you. That way." She pointed to the ground. I looked down after a minute of staring at her face. I forgot how beautiful she was. A small trail of rubies had popped out of the "ground."

"Now go get him." She sniffled. "And make sure to summon me. I get lonely down here sometimes. Ok?" She asked. I nodded and hugged her.

"I'm sorry." I sobbed.

"Shhh. It's ok. You were a little busy saving the world. I get it. Besides I got to meet mom. You will to. Just not today." She cooed. "and you have a winner back in life." She winked and gave me a small shove. I nodded.

"I love you!" I called.

"I love you too Nico." She waved and I was on my way. I followed the rubies until there was and emerald. I picked it up and a white light surrounded me. Here I come.
