Nico X Reader - Lucky

Chapter 27

Nico's Pov*

-

A blue sky and sunlight which was partially covered over by some of the very few clouds that floated by. That's what I was first met with. I squinted and rubbed my eyes to relieve them of the tired soreness caused by lack of sleep and the bright light. My ears were ringing and I could faintly hear the sounds of people talking. My dizzy brain and I couldn't completely comprehend what anyone was saying or who was saying it. I stayed where I was and tried to clear my head and make sense of where I was and what happened. I blinked hard and stared another moment right ahead of me before taking in my surroundings. The second I lifted my head off the ground, there was a sharp pain in my neck like when I've slept in an uncomfortable place for too long. I ignored it and looked around anyway.

To my right, there were trees. For however far I could see, that's all there was. I was in a clearing of a forest it seemed. A small patch of the woods where trees decided not to grow. Still without a single clue where I was, but the area felt like it should be familiar. The smell was too. I couldn't quite place any of this, but I felt like I should. It was like having dejavu.

"Nico?"

To my left, was everything.

She was just there. Just sitting beside me on her knees with her (e/c) eyes boring into mine intently. She tilted her head and furrowed her eyebrows. "Hey, you alright?"

I looked around again. Me? After what happened. she wants to know if I'm alright? 

"Are you alright? What happened? Where is everyone?" I asked her.

I held her hand gently, but she just gave me an even more confused look. Good to know the both of us were just as confused as one another.

"Of course I am. What do you mean everyone?"

"Percy, Annabeth, Leo. What happened to them? How did we get here?" I questioned again.

She laughed a little bit like the answers were obvious. "They're back at camp. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be? How long have I been out?"I asked quietly.

She moved a bit of my dark hair from my eyes the quickly put her hand back down on her lap. "About half an hour. I thought you weren't going to wake up. We should go see someone just to make sure you passing out wasn't a sign that you're dying." She laughed a little towards the end of her sentence.

"Where are we?" I asked.

She gave me another 'duh isn't it obvious' looks. "Camp. You hit your head pretty hard, didn't you?"

"What?"

"You fell out of the tree and hit your head. Don't you remember?"

"No, I don't.... What happened to the enchantress? Is she gone?"

"Ok, we definitely need to get you back so we can make sure you're brain is still working right. C'mon." She stood up and motioned for me to follow.

I rushed to my feet but didn't move. 

"But is she gone?"

(Y/n) just looked at me. Still very lost and curious. "Neeks, I have no clue what you're talking about whatsoever. Who's this enchantress?"

I scoffed a little, thinking this had to be a joke. (Y/n) didn't seem to find it funny at all though. She crossed her arms and waited for me to answer.

"You're kidding, right? The enchantress that possessed you and tried to take over the world. Or ruin it... Not too sure which one. Remember? We went on a trip with Percy, Annabeth, and Leo and went to a bookstore where we lost you. Right before I woke up she tried to kill us. We killed her though."
