There is a bit of fOrEsHaDoWiNg in this chapter. Have fun rEeEeEEeEeEeEeeeEE

By the way, I double checked this online, but, to quote the Riordan Wiki, 'Nico can sense death as it happens or when it is coming; when a person close to him dies, it comes as a ringing in the ears.' soon thats about to ImPoRtAnT

Also the time zones-I checked everything and Piper's house is on the west coast, while Happy Harbor is on the east coast. So I'm just gonna guess that dawn is around 6am on the west coast, and at the same time its gonna be 9am on the east coast.

After my talk with that kid, I shadow traveled into the school. Best place to hide out for now. Not forever, but enough. I found myself in the men's restroom, on which floor I couldn't determine.

As Caty hopped out of my arms, I rested my back against the wall, taking a deep breath. This is so fucked. 5 weeks ago I had a loving boyfriend that I loved, and who I thought loved me. A whole relationship wiped out in a matter of seconds. Or months? Jason said 7 months ago it started.

Part of me wanted to say fuck this and to waste away, prove to the world that it was my decision and they can't control me.

Hot tears rolled down my face and immediately I tried blinking them away, wiping them away with my sleeves.

The thought of what happened throughout my life sent a bitter taste to my mouth, my heart feeling as if it was being ripped apart with razors.

I slid onto the floor, burying my head into my arms.

I felt something tap my arm. I glanced up and saw Caty looking at me. I sighed, sniffling and reluctantly stood up from my crying session and took her in my arms, leaving the restroom only to find it locked. I got an idea in my head. I reached out my hand, and attempted to manipulate the lock into unlocking by controlling it's shadows. After a minute of concentration I heard a click. Alright. I walked out and shut the door behind me, locking it once again.

The school was kinda freaky at night, but i've seen worse. Walking around the school, I thought of a few isolated places that probably wouldn't be checked as soon as the school opened. The light booth above the auditorium(I'm just basing this off my own school and places I think would be a good place to hide, but i've only just seen that area above my school's auditorium, i've never been inside.), the orchestra and band room, the area above the stage that you have to climb up to, and the locker rooms. Preferably not the last one.

In the end, I chose the stage area. I walked over there, unlocked then relocked the door, and quickly climbed up to the platform above the stage and set up an area for me to sleep.

With Caty curled up beside me, I fell asleep.

I woke up early, with a bad feeling in my gut. Something bad is gonna happen today, and I quickly made sure to sneak down to the locker rooms to take a shower. Checking the time on the way, I saw it was 5:58. Whoever's here this early is crazy.

I kept the majority of my clothes in my locker, and decided to go get them cleaned after school. I walked out to the gym, where I proceeded to get bored and do my homework, which took me quite awhile to do because the words decided to be little shits. I checked the time again. 7:15. Jesus that took awhile.

Looking out the window, I saw that the first person had arrived. It was a man, short and lean. Probably in his early 60's. He had a coffee in his hand and was rushing into the school, holding his bag close. He looked like he was about to pitch a new idea on what type of product to sell.
