The Corruption of the Third World (DISCONTINUED)

CHAPTER THREE: HELP

NICO POV

       That was, by far, the worst nightmare that I had had in a long time. Ever since the war with Gaea, the seven, Reyna, and Will had helped to get rid of the nightmares,and helped me to eat more. I have no idea what had set this one off. Not one clue. Except..........no. Not now. Not after I had tried to become happier in the past year.
                  I was ripped from my thoughts when I felt warm arms embrace me in a hug. Then,just then, at the worst possible time,a flashback happened.
                 I was not being hugged anymore. I was being taken off by the giants, not the ones that were in the living world, but the ones on the place shat shall not be named. Tartarus.
                 Frantically I grabbed for my sword,then made a move to slit the giant's throat. It was one of the twins, Ephialtes. Great. It just had to be the more advanced and smart one. Before I got to his throat, he moved enough so that I only cut his forehead. I heard distant screaming in the background, and it sounded..... distant, desperate,surprised.
                 Stop,Nico, I scolded myself. Focus on the battle in front of you.
                   I cut Ephialites' arm when I felt someone—or something—grip my arms near my elbows and pull me back from the giant. I screamed,thrashed,kicked, and even swung my sword.
                Then,again,I was jerked back into the present.
                What I saw before me made me stop moving immediately. I stared at the unmoving,bloody body of Will Solace laying on the ground in front of me. I was gripping the hilt of my stygian iron sword,the black metal covered in my friend's blood.Will had a deep gash along his forehead,and you could see the bone on his arm.
                 I collapsed onto my knees,tears threatening to spill. I looked around me,into the eyes of Hazel,the entire Apollo cabin, And Chiron slowly making his way through the crowd of curious demigods outside of cabin thirteen.
                 "I—I...... I am so.....so so sorry...." At the sound of my voice,everyone's heads snapped to where I sat. "I—is he g-going to be o-okay?" I sent a silent prayer up to the gods,hoping that Will would not die.
                 I let the tears spill. Hazel gave me a hug,walking around to face me before doing so, learning from Will's mistake. The Apollo cabin set to work,giving their unconscious brother nectar and singing hymns in Ancient Greek. Soon, he was lying on a bed in the Hades cabin,his cuts and bruises from the flashback all reduced to scars now. Also,it helps that,even though Will did not inherit archery,or musical skills from his father,he got all of the medical ones,even self healing. That helps,too.
                 I was sitting on his bed on the other side of the room from where Chiron was working with Will when there was  a weird tingling sensation in my body,and, unwillingly, I was whisked away from my cabin and into the shadows.
                 I was able to make out one more strangled,gurgled word before I completely dissolved: "Help!"
