NICO'S P.O.V

I awoke abruptly, the infirmaries light temporarily blinding my adjusting eyes. I felt washed out, beyond tired, my head swimming, struggling to cling onto something-anything.

"Nico?" I heard Wills soothing voice coming from the door to the room. I just managed to struggle my way into a seating position, catching sight of his worried eyes.
Will ran over, throwing his arms around me, "Gods you awake." He sounded so relieved, worried, I almost felt guilty for putting him through that.

"How long was I out for?" I managed to ask, as Will came to sit beside me, his arm draped over my shoulder.

"2 days." He replied, his voice sounding distant, before he shook himself back into reality.

"Don't ever do that again Nico!" He exclaimed, "Gods you had me so worried, I know you like saved our lives and all, but....." He didn't get to finish his sentence, before I planted a kiss on his lips, blushing profusely.

"Sorry." I said, staring at the pristine white sheets.

"How about we try never apologising for that again." He said in a firm voice.
It was then I remembered the cause for being in the infirmary, "Delilah," I went to get out of the bed, to rush after her, to stop her, but will ran over, restraining my arms, not allowing me to move, "Is in the infirmary, someone put her under some sort of potion or something, she'll sleep until she is given the antidote.
I nodded, satisfied with the answer, she could sleep for all eternity if I had my way, but then there was father to think about, I can't imagine he'd like his angel in this state, and, the reason why she was here.

"I'll deal with her tomorrow."I said, trying to get out of the bed, but nearly falling over with the lack of strength. I heard Will chuckle behind me, before he picked me up, dropping me carefully back onto the bed.

"Will" I whined, listening to him chuckle beside me.

"Aww come on, I want to go see Leo." Okay, that wasn't my intent, but still, it was an excuse.

"Watch out death boy, your starting to sound like a normal kid." I frowned at him, hitting him playfully on the arm.
Will laughed, hopping onto the infirmary bed with me, placing his arms around me in a hug. "

"Sleep, you'll need it, Leo can wait." He said, and just like that, the fatigue took over, and I was asleep.

Hey guys!! Just a short chapter for now, I'm in the process of writing the next major one where we find out Delilah's intent.
Thanks, Livs, xxx
