Annabeth wasn't looking for love. Percy wasn't looking for attention. Leo wasn't looking to stay. Piper wasn't looking for friends. Jason wasn't looking for a fight. Nico wasn't looking to be a hero. Thalia wasn't looking to be heartbroken. Frank wasn't looking to move on. Hazel wasn't looking to die, again. Now there's only one thing they're looking for. Surviving.

After that I only wore black. Black like the charred remains of everything I had once loved, black like the smoke billowing into the sky as my tears cut tracks through the black soot coating my face, and black like the little puppy that was squirming in my arms afterward, the only piece of my old life I had left. ~¤~ Four years ago, Nico's life was perfect. He had two loving parents, a caring older sister, and a beautiful house in Italy. Then a fire started in their house and everything Nico loved crumbled along with the walls and family photos.
