City of Olympus

Chapter 3:

Percy's POV:
I woke up to the sound of hundreds of feet hitting the floor. There was a blindfold over my eyes, and I could feel that my hands and feet were handcuffed to a chair.
I tried to remember what had happened before I passed out. Something to do with darkness, and Annabeth, she is involved in this. But her eyes, what had happened to them? They had been completely black, the entire eye, not just the iris.
What in hades name was happening?
In my frustration, I strained against the handcuffs, but only managed to hurt my wrists.
To my left, I heard a door open and someone walk in.
"Hello Perseus Jackson" Annabeth said.
"ANNABETH!?!?" I said "What's going on? Why am i here?"
She laughed "oh Perseus you can't seriously believe that I'm really Annabeth? She would never be smart enough to come up with such a clever plan!"
"Annabeth is way smarter than you'll ever be!"
She laughed again "oh Perseus let's see if you still think that after you see what I am about to show you."
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!!!" I screamed, my first concern is Annabeth as always. Why did this person sound exactly like her?!
"Oh, the girl? She fine dear. But she is awfully worried about you." She laughed, which made me really really want to strangle her.
"Now we don't i give you a tour of the place!" She clapped her hands "Gaurds!"
I heard heavy footsteps as the guards entered the room. One of them pulled the blindfold off of me, and I swear to the gods I almost screamed.
Standing in front of me in a small metal room was my girlfriend with demonic black eyes, flanked by two 6ft tall monsters made completely out of shadows.

Wills POV:
I was seriously starting to regret my life choices.
Why couldn't I just be like every other one of Apollos children and shoot arrows and recite poetry?
No, of course the one thing I was good at was being the camp's doctor. Of course I had always thought that the job was pretty rewarding, but after delivering Coach Hedge's baby.... I wasn't so sure.
And then there was Nico.
It was just like me to have a thing for the most reckless guy in camp.
Piper and Jason had returned from the mission carrying an unconscious Nico and three strangers (one of which was unconscious too).
There hadn't been any time to find out what had happened, Nico and the unconscious girl (a short redhead) were rushed to the infirmary for me to take care of them.
Two hours later I finally managed to stabilize them. I was just pulling up a chair over to Nico's bed when I heard a commotion outside.
"I don't care who the hell you are!" A boy's voice shouted "I want to make sure that she's ok!"
The next voice I heard belonged to Chiron, the camp's director. "The girl is in good hands. Now why don't you sit down and we can talk about..."
The first voice cut him off. "I DONT WANT TO TALK! I NEED TO SEE HER!"
"Jace!" A new voice said "Maybe we should talk about this..."
But the boy, Jace I assumed, barged into the infirmary and without even glancing at me, he strode over to where the red head girl was.
"Wait!" I called out, running over to him. "You can't disturb her! I bandaged her up and used the best medical supplies we have, but I'm not sure how to treat those burns."
I looked down at her. Her arms were completely covered in bandages where the worst of the black burns and cuts were, but the rest of her skin was covered with them.
The boy glared at me like I was an idiot. He was tall and had golden hair that matched his golden eyes and skin. I had only just met him but so far he seemed like an arrogant asshole.
I kinda wanted to punch him.
"Those are demon wounds. Of course you don't know how to treat them, you're a mundie."
"Excuse me?"
"Someone who's not a shadowhunter, a normal human." Said the other boy, who had just walked over to us.
He looked a little like Nico, except that his eyes were a piercing blue. He walked with a slight limp, probably from the battle.
"What's a shadowhunter?" I'm asked
"We are shadowhunters." Said the golden boy, who was now holding the redheads hand as she slept "we hunt demons, and the occasional evil downworlder."
"Downworlder?"
The blue eyed boy sighed as if he had expected me to know this already. "A fairy, vampire, warlock, or werewolf."
"Okayyyyyy...." I looked back at the girl before turning around to see Nico in his bed. "Do you now how to help them?"
"No" the blue eyed boy said "but I know someone who does."
***
I finally got my break, and spent it sitting next to Nico while he slept. It was so hard not to get emotional. To keep myself together and act like I knew how to help him. But really I just wanted to sob and lie down next to him. Thankfully the blue eyed boy, whose name I had learned was Alec, was calling someone who could help. Since we can't use phones, Piper went with him to contact this person via iris message.
I sighed and rested my head down on the bed, I was so tired.
"Hey will!"
Silently groaning, I turned and saw Jason heading towards Nico and I.
"How is he?" He said, pulling up a chair and sitting at the other side of the bed.
"He's stable for now. But he needs professional help."
Jason nodded, how could he be so calm?
"Do you mind explaining what happened?" Jason nodded again and started to recount the events of earlier this evening.
As he described the monster, I studied Nico. His skin was paler than usual, which made his inky black hair stand out against his forehead. I couldn't help but think that when he slept, the son of Hades looked like an angel that had fallen from heaven and couldn't care less.
Jason was getting to the part of his story when Nico got hurt.
"So clary, the girl over there," he said gesturing to the red head "was clinging on to the monsters foot to keep it away from Alec and Jace, but it didn't work and the monster lashed out at them. But then Nico just jumped in front of them and got hit instead."
"WHAT?!?!"
"Um Will?"
"How could he be such an idiot?!!?!!?" I screamed not caring that I was shaking or that tears were threatening to spill. I grabbed Nico's hand "why are you such an idiot?" I whispered before finally letting all my emotions pour out. And so I sat there, sobbing over an unconscious boy while Jason awkwardly patted my shoulder.
"It's uh okay." He said
Wow thanks for that assurance I thought
"Um.... Sorry but my friend is here." I turned around and wiped away my tears to see Alec standing awkwardly in the doorway.
"Really Alec? Your friend?" Behind Alec appeared the most glittery person I had ever seen. He had dark brown hair that was spiked with gel and dyed purple at the tips. He had matching glittery purple eyeshadow and wore a purple tank top and studded leather jacket. But the strangest thing was definitely his eyes, which were green gold with slit pupils like a cats.
"Magnus Bane" he said stepping into the room " high warlock of Brooklyn."
