A/N: sorry for the picture, if you are a hufflepuff, ravenclaw, or griffindor. I AM DA SLYTHERIN PERSON! YEAH! SLYTHERIN PRIDE! LETS GO! WHOOO HOO!

   Chiron POV:
  
          I was watching the unconscious figure of Will Solace in the Hades cabin. Nico had had a flashback only hours before, and therefor had accidentally attacked the son of Apollo. Will lost a lot of blood. He would be lucky if he lived.
          Suddenly, I heard it. A strangled sound, barely there, but I barely recognized the voice of Nico di Angelo from behind me. I whipped around as fast as I could in my wheelchair, thinking that what I would see would be just another thing to get the Apollo campers for, or an intruder, which was very unlikely.
          What I saw horrified me, chilled me to the bone.
          I saw the flickering shape of Nico di Angelo, outstretching his arms toward me, eyes wild. Every shadow in the room launched towards him at the speed of light....or darkness. The shadows from the wall that his back was to were now engulfing the ghost king in a torturous, deadly hug.
         I quickly got out of my wheelchair and turned back into a centaur, but before I knew it......
         He was gone.
         Just like that, gone. No trace of him ever being here.
         Where is he? Oh gods, who took him? Usually the shadows obey him... who took him? Oh gods... oh gods no... don't let him be dead. Please, I thought. Don't let him be dead.
          I slowly got back into my wheelchair. Then, I wheeled out of cabin thirteen.
         The sun was rising, looking all too peaceful to be on the morning that a camper went missing. The sky was a shade of pale blues,pinks,oranges, and the bright white blotch of light that was the sun rising on the horizon. I realized that I was still in my wheelchair and stood up, letting my back horse's end grow out of nowhere. I am and will always be amazed at how effective magic can be. This wheelchair allowed me to teach at Percy Jackson's school as a history teacher named Mr. Brunner before Percy had known that he was a demigod. See? Useful!
         Thoughts were racing through my still shaken up mind as I reached the dining pavilion. All of the campers were already dining, and Dionysius was sitting at the head table and drinking Diet Coke next to Rachel Elizabeth Dare who was eating a bowl of Fruity Pebbles cereal. I did not even think to grab myself a magic plate and start eating breakfast; I had to announce the disappearance of the son of Hades.
           "May I have your attention, please?" Every head in the pavilion snapped to me. And everyone seemed to notice the grave expression on my face. "I have some..... bad news. Just now, I was monitoring Will Solace when I heard Nico say "help" from behind me. I turned around to see the shadows consuming him, taking him. Then, the shadows took him, to the gods know where. Nico di Angelo is missing."
            Jason burst into tears. "MUY BABY NOOOOOOOO NICO PROTECTION SQUAD, LETS GO!!" Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Hazel, Reyna, Leo, (that's right, Leo is alive in this fanfic, and calypso is there too and the Romans are visiting) Calypso, and Coach Hedge took off running in all directions, crying things like: "NOOO MY BABY!" and "NEEKS WHY!" and Percy randomly screamed about not being his type and never getting the chance to ever be his type. Then, apparently, he started to scream and cry about a penguin pillow pet. Yeah, I know, Percy has the amount of brain cells as an empty paper bag.
             The most unexpected thing happened next. Reyna let out a blood curdling scream. The entire world seemed to stiffen and stop what they were doing. Right there, right now, as everyone watched, the shadows of the camp all raced towards the daughter of Bellona at the speed of light, engulfed her, and she was gone.
            Just like that.
            Gone, just like Nico.
            Suddenly, Rachel stood up from the head table. Immediately everyone in the pavilion was shook out of their trance of horror and shock,and turned to the Oracle of Delphi.
           Rachel's eyes turned green, and shiny green mist swirled around her.

A/N: okay. I know that you all are probably thinking right now that coach hedge is not close to Nico. But I will have you know, that when he, Nico, and Reyna were delivering The Athena Parthenos to CHB, Reyna and Hedge were the second and third person (and satyr) to know all of his secrets. When he was, you know, MURDERING Bryce Lawrence, the book specifically said that he screamed at Bryce saying: "You want secrets?!? I'LL GIVE YOU SECRETS!!" And then he just let all of it out and just. Let all of his secrets EVER just spill out and then he..sort of...well.... um... LITERALLY TURNED HIM INTO A GHOST.

Nico di Angelo is amaZHANG. HE TURNED A PERSON INTO A GHOST! SEE YA'LL IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! BYEEEEE!
