Chapter twelve
I am absolutely horrible at leaving cliffhangers. cause then I get excited and wanna write more so you cant suffer then. lol
Percy's POV
After I nearly killed my ex, I ran to Nico. But as soon as I did, he slumped forward and blacked out.
No no no no no. He cant go like this.
I wouldnt let him. I didnt take him to a hospital, I couldnt. They would ask what happened and by the looks out the cuts, I couldnt say he got in a fight. I took him to our bathroom and cleaned up all thw blood on him and bandaged up his wounds. I put him in his pjs and laid him in bed. After cleaning the blood on the floor, I changed and snuggled up next to him. I held him close and wouldnt let him go all night.
What if you didnt make it in time?
No. I cant think like that. We are ok. We are safe.
How do you know she wont come back?
She cant hurt him. Im never leaving him again.
What about when you work? He will have to be home.
No no no.
Unprotected.
Stop.
Alone.
Stop.
Vulnerable.
I cant stop.
Unsafe.
It wont leave my head.
Dead.
I woke up sweating with tears rolling down my face.
*Time skippppppper to morn*
Nico stirred next to me as I tried to get breakfast ready. I got up, more slowly, and made waffles with nutella on them, his favorite. Then all of a sudden I heard a huge
Thunk
coming from our room. I ran in to see a arrow right above his sleeping head. Inches away. There was a note attached to it.
Next time I'll aim.
I started freaking out. Was she serriously sending death threats? I looked out the window. How did it get open in the first place? I looked outside and all around. I saw a building directly across the street from us with a wondow open. How the heck? I kissed Nico on the forehead, shut the window, and threw out the arrow. I didnt know what to do about the hole in the head board though. I needed to find out what happened. If I wait too long they could leave. But if I leave Nico, he could get hurt. But if I bring Nico, he could get hurt. Gosh. I had to take my chances and I left him a note.
I rushed out of the building and ran across the street. I ran to the elevator and went up to the floor across from ours. I knocked on all the doors that were across from our room. They were all empty. Except for one. Someone answered the door. Someone I did not want to see. I looked passed the bitch in front of me and saw a bow and a few arrows along witb her window open.
"What. The. Fuck? DO YOU WANT ME TO FREAKIN KILL YOU?!? DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH OR SOMETHING?!?"
She stared at me in horror.
"I... I didnt expect y-"
"DIDNT EXPECT ME TO COME? REALLY? YOU THINK I WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHO TRIED TO KILL HIM?"
"Its... Its too late anyway. You made a mistake leaving him." She said with a smirk.
I stared in horror as I saw a figure standing over the bed across the street. I shoved past her, knocking her to the floor. I heard her maniacal laughter as I ran down the halls. I ran down the steps, the elevator takes too slow. I bolted across the traffic filled street. I jumped up and over a car and continued forward and up the stairs and down the halls to our apartment. I bursted through the door to see a spirit hovering over Nico as he lay cowering on the floor. I swung my sword at it and watched it dissapate. I dropped my weapon and craddled Nico. He was sobbing against my shoulder whimpering something about his dad.
"Shhhhh.... its ok. Its over. Im not leaving you alone again. No more things are gonna touch my little angel."
A/N wow. that put me in tears as I wrote it.
