You & I - A Nico diAngelo Love Story (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Attacked

We kept kissing for what felt like hours, but turned out to be minutes. Our lips softly brushing against eachother, not to rough or hardcore, but... nice.

We had to stop because we heard something.

We heard a bang from the east.

I cocked my head up in surprise. "Nico... what was that?"

"I don't know..." He answered.

We scuttled ourselves up and we tookout our weapons; mine being my bow and arrow.

Quickly, we ran over to see what had happened. When we got there, we stopped, staring at what was in front of us.

The woods, or at least the half where we weren't, was burned.

The cause? Greek fire.

Greek fire was a powerful and harmful substance that could literally burn anything.

And anyone.

It started traveling towards us, and both of our instincts kicked in: run.

"Nico, where do we go?" I screamed over the cackling of the fire.

"I don't know, just stay close!" He yelled back.

We ran to our abandoned part of the forest and the greek fire followed.

We were cornered, face to face with it.

Someone, it had to be someone, shot a flaming arrow towards us, flaming with greek fire.

It was headed straight towards me.

"VANESSA!" Nico screamed, and jumped in front of me.

The arrow hit him right in the leg, and he dropped to the ground.

"Nico!" I caught him before he could fall.

As soon as he was shot, the fire stopped burning. I quickly took a glance at the arrow, and it was the exact same as mine.

"Nico, Nico wake up!" I shook him, sobbing quietly.

Singing. Singing could heal him.

"Hey, hey, hey... look at me..." and I started singing.

"When you feel my heat, look into my eyes."

"Thats where my demons hide, thats where my demons hide."

He wasn't moving. Not even blinking.

"Nico, Nico please stay..." I finally started crying. "HELP HELP! SOMEONE HELP!!!" I screamed as loud as possible.

Will, Hazel, Frank, Percy, Piper, Jason, Annabeth, and Leo came rushing through the burned branches.

Will looked at me. "Oh my gods are you okay?" He asked, pulling me in for a hug.

"Yeah," I sniffled, "Yeah, I'm fine, but Nico isn't! Someone shot a flaming greek arrow at me, and he stepped in front."

I leaned to Will's ear. "And my singing didn't work."

He lookeat me, distinctly shocked.

Hazel came trudging towards me, furiated.

"You! You did this to my brother!" She shoved me.

"Hazel, calm down..." Frank tried to approach her, but she shoved him away.

"NO!"

"Hazel, I-I wouldn't ever," I said defensley, "Nico is fantastic!"

"Oh, really, you would never?" She asked mimicking my voice.

"Then how come this arrow is the same as the ones you use? Huh?" I looked at the arrow.
