Nico's POV

"Nico! Your phone!" Leo shouts. I glare at him, because he's right next to me. I pull out the black piece of technology, answering the ringing. There is a short span of silence.

"Hello, Nico di Angelo speaking." I answer. Dead silence surrounds me from my friends. Jason sets down his sword, and looks at the phone.

"Mr. di Angelo. We regret to inform you that your sister has had an accident. She was hit by a car, and she is now in the ICU." A calm female voice says.

Terror pumps through me.

Bianca? Car accident?!

"WHAT!? SHE-WHICH HOSPITAL!" I shout. My terror turns to rage. I swallow as everyone steps closer. I am trembling, waiting for the ladies response.

"Swanson General. She was asking for you.....before she went under treatment." The voice says, and I feel my heart racing. My blood pumping. I look around at my friends, my chest heaving up AMD down.

"Are you sure? Okay." I hang up, and feel So many different emotions ram into my skull, I'm surprised I stayed standing.

All twelve eyes are on me.

"Bianca. Its Bianca. She-She got............" My emotions crash down on mW again, and I collapse, sobbing, onto the floor. I am yanked into a memory. And not a good one.

"I wanna wanna wanna see da-da!" I sob, pounding my small fist against the seat. My mom sighs.

"We are almost there honey! Just, calm down, okay?" My mother says something to Bianca, who then turns and grins at me.

"Neeks! We are almost home! Then we get to see daddy!" She says, but I continue wailing.

"No! I wanna see him NOW!" I cry louder. My moms hands tighten around the wheel. Bianca turns back around, frowning.

"Nico, baby, we are almost home! Look, there's the house! See Nico!" She turns around and smiles.

"See-"

"MOM LOOK OUT!" Bianca shrieks, and then the sound of screeching tires.

"Ahh!" Mom shrieks, the windshield shattering, someone screaming.

"Mamaaaaa!" I wail.

"Its alright baby! Everything is okay!!" Mom says, hysterical. I clutch her neck as she carries me out of the broken car.

"Bianca, get inside!" She shouts. I hear the wails of sirens. I see.......mist. No trace of anything else.

Though I was five, I wouldn't have known better.

Two seconds. That's all it took.

Two seconds, and my father had been killed.

Or so I thought

".......what happened?" Percy is saying. I wake up a little. Then I turn around, facing him. My sadness, terror, hatred, everything sends me to do the only thing I can do. I throw myself at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. I bury my face in his shoulder, and Percy freezes under me. I notice my sword is gone, probably taken by one of the others so I don't hurt myself.

"Bianca......." I mutter.

"Percy, focus!" Annabeth shouts. He shakes himself out, then looks at me.
