Drew Tanaka and Lacy woke up when they heard screaming. Nico was thrashing in the mattress muttering things like Bianca and Tartarus. Shadows covered the walls and the ground was rumbling. The sisters looked at each other and went to him.

"Nico."

"Nico."

"NICO!"

He woke up gasping. He sat up and put his head in his hands. Drew looked at him. 

"Nico, what was that about?"

"Tartarus."

"Why would you dream of that place?" Lacy asked, not wanting to believe her theory.

"Percy and Annabeth weren't the first, I was and I was alone. They got the watered down version and I, as a child of Hades, saw it in all of it's horrifying glory. I went to look for the Doors of Death, hopefully close them. I couldn't. I got captured before and was tortured and later imprisoned in the same bronze jar Ares was trapped in without air. I survived for a week eating one pomegranate seed a day and entering a death trance where I would meditate and use up no oxygen."

Drew and Lacy listened horrified. They hugged him. 

"You aren't there anymore. You're with friends now."

He gave a small smile and they went back to sleep. This time he dreamt of rainbows and sunshine which made him want to throw up. He woke up a few hours later and got ready fro school. He skipped breakfast and entered the car.

Carter Kane walked to school with Sadie, Zia and Walt. They went inside and noticed Drew corrupting Lacy and the new kid. The girls seemed to be teasing Nico about something while he turned red until he finally decided to go off to the office to get his lock and locker number. He came out and ran to his locker while Drew and Lacy just laughed. Lacy noticed them and went over to Sadie.

"Hi Sadie!"

"Hi Lacy. Why were you with Drew?"

"I wanted to talk to the new kid."

"Oh okay."

"Are you all still coming over today?"

"Yup. Soccer tryouts are today, right?"

"Yeah. I'll be staying behind to watch someone."

"Who?"

"Surprise."

"Okay."

The bell rang and they all went to their first class. They entered, noticing Drew and the new kid. Nico seemed to be glaring at Drew and he turned away. She giggled. Lacy went to them and Drew told her something. She laughed and looked at the goth boy. He crossed his arms and pouted. The Egyptians noticed the similarities between him and Anubis. Anubis had black hair and black eyes and always wore black kinda like Nico. but that was where the similarities ended. While Anubis had tan skin, Nico had creamy, pale skin with a hint of an Italian heritage. His long, black eyelashes framed piercing onyx eyes that spoke of great suffering and pain but they were also the eyes of a genius or a madman. They looked like they were looking through your soul. His glossy hair was pitch black, as dark as night. He had high cheekbones, but not overdoing it. He had full pink lips which was probably the only color on his face. His pale elegant fingers were long and thin. Other than that, he was mainly black and white like a photograph in the 1930's. He had tight black jeans and a black shirt was kinda tight and you could see muscled and well defined abs. His petite frame, however, was lean. If you looked at him at a certain angle, he looked like an angel. He wasn't cute and not really hot, he was beautiful. A beautiful cold angel. He would probably be the interest of some 9th grade girls and even a lot of boys.
