JASONS POV

 Nico had been missing for 24 hours now. The last time he was seen he was running into the woods all alone, tears in his eyes.

"I'll search the east, Annabeth you take the west, Zhang the south, and Hazel you take the north. Meet here in 2 hours we'll go out again after lunch.'' Jason had just finished giving these orders when all of a sudden they heard a gasp and Percy, obviously not dead but they didn't get that. Annabeth was the first to recover she ran over to him and bear hugged him. The others followed as soon as they recovered, but Percy looked around frantically, and asked,

"Where is Nico?!?''

"We don't know" Replied Jason wearily as if he had spent all night worried for the same reason.

Percy looked really bad when he heard that and all of a sudden, started crying, slowly telling them about the previous night, hearing Nico's plan about resurrecting him from the Underworld. He told them how Nico had traded  his soul for Percy's. The others didn't say anything when he was done but Hazel sobbed and ran to her tent and Frank followed her. Annabeth had sat next to Percy holding his hand as if he might disappear. Jason feared the same thing, but Percy seemed more worried about Nico.

Then with a start Percy said," When I was dead I heard Phineas was alive again and he was in Portland again but had been dipped into the Lethe and had no memory."

Annabeth sadly told him," Percy I know you miss Nico, but you can't play with death."

Percy said "But he's our friend... Yeah ok Annabeth your right I guess."

They went to bed shortly afterward.

When they had all fallen asleep ,or so he thought, Percy was awake, he slowly drifted off. When he was nearly asleep, Percy was slipping into the night, and no doubt going to Portland. I got up and followed him.  When I caught him it was light and he was almost home with Nico at his side. When they got back to the camp everyone was happy and everyone was doing good. They were doing even better when Percy and Annabeth  Said they were getting married. They said considering the fact that they were both 20 now they were going to do it. But this is a story for another time.
