"-cause the body to produce antibodies, which can be used to fight the virus in the body... Oh, it's 10 already. I guess we'll end the lecture there. Have a good day everybody." Dr. Valenti said to the lecture hall, where he was teaching biology to the medical students. A blond boy with blue eyes started to get up and grabbed his notebook and pens when Dr. Valenti sped up the stairs to the boy's row. "Will, can you stay back for a few minutes?"
"Sure, Dr. Valenti." Will said happily. Dr. Valenti was his favorite teacher, he was a half-mexican surgeon from New Mexico. [Is that just Kyle Valenti from Roswell New Mexico? Why yes, it is.]
"I know I shouldn't say this but... you are one of the best students I've had. I just wanted you to know, I'm planning on recommending you to the medical program at Willow University." He said, standing in front of Will's desk.
Will was completely shocked, Willow University was one of the hardest schools to get into. "H- how? Um, I mean I'm flattered... but, it's... how?"
Dr. Valenti laughed at Will's utter shock. "My wife, as you should know, is the Psychology professor. One of her former students is actually the founder of Willow. I have some sway over the recommendations."
"Oh... that's cool." Will said, still not knowing what to stay. "Who was the student?"
"I'm trying to remember her name... P- Penelope? No... Phoebe? No that wasn't it. I know that her last name is Jackson. If that helps." he responded with a smile.
Will could feel the color draining from his face. I couldn't be. Could it?
"Was her name Percy? Short for Persephone." He said, quietly.
Dr. Valenti snapped his fingers, "Yeah. That's what it was... are you okay? Will?"
Will grabbed his bag and started running for the exit. Dr. Valenti grabbed his shoulder. "Is everything okay, Will?"
"I thought she was dead... I saw her die."

"Nico! Nico!" Will yelled, out into the open space of his and his fiance's apartment.
"Will? Hey, hey. Will, it's okay. What is it?" Nico said, walking out from the kitchen. Will put his bag down and felt Nico's tattooed arms wrap around his neck.
Will calmed down and wrapped his arms around Nico's waist. He took a few deep breaths until his heart beat reached a human speed, then whispered in his fiance's ear.
"Percy's alive."
