Nico

I woke to find a hand around my arm and a soft humming sound floating through the air. I quickly pulled my arm away from whoever was holding it and the humming stopped. I reached towards where my sword should be but only found air. A face appeared above me. Tan skin, blonde hair and blue eyes shining down at me.

"Nico" The boy said "Let me bandage your arm."

"Who are you and where am I?"

"I'm Will Solace, head of the Apollo cabin. This is the infirmary. You passed out just after you got here." He reached for my arm again

"Don't touch me." I said yanking my arm away again

"I need to bandage your wounds. Please let me."

I sighed and held my arm out to him. His touch sent a shock through my body but I resisted the urge to pull away.

"All done." He said passing me a glass

The glass was full of nectar that tasted like ash. It was disgusting but I choked it down.

"How do you feel?" Will asked

"I'm fine." I said pushing myself up into a sitting position

I could see the room clearly now. Nearly everything was white. It was very small and made me feel claustrophobic. I began to rock back and forth back and forth. The jar. It reminded me of the jar.

"Nico are you ok?"

"The jar. Can't breathe. Too tight." I stammered

Will seemed to understand. He grabbed me and led me out to a much larger room. Inside was one singular bed with a clipboard laying on it. He pushed the clipboard aside and lowered me onto the bed. The room was much better and I calmed down slowly.

"Is this better?" he asked

"Yes." I whispered

"You talk in your sleep."

"What did I say?"

"You kept saying Bianca. Who's that?"

Tears welled in my eyes and I blinked them away.

"Bianca is, was, my sister" I whispered

He seemed to understand it was a hard topic and left it at that. He walked towards the door.

"I'll be back later to check on you." He said and left
