(A/N I am up at 12:51 writing this for thou all, so it might not be very good.)

I went to sleep a few hours later feeling exhausted. Ron just doesn't get anything. But who knew faces could get so red from embarrassment?

"Did you see his face?" I whispered to Percy. "I didn't know anyone's face could get that red."

"Well," Percy said, "Zeus can get pretty golden. And there was this kid in my class once that looked like an apple. But I've never seen anyone get that red.

"Hey, Harry," Ron whispered.

"Yeah, Ron?" Harry whispered back.

"Who do you think they're talking about?" Ron asked. There was a moment of silence.

"Ron, mate," Harry said, "they were talking about you."

Ron's face got even redder than it had been in Dumbledore's office. Everyone who had heard the conversation tried to restrain from laughing as to not be mean.

Percy and I eventually got to sleep, but our nights were far from over.

~•~

I opened my eyes.

I couldn't see anything. Where was I? What time is it? Who am I? Where's Percy?

I calmed myself down. I am Nico di Angelo. It is. . . I saw a clock. It is 12:00 AM. Midnight.

It is? Or it was? Writing books are hard.

Oh. . . whoops. Sorry, fourth wall.

(A/N *rolls eyes* RebuildingThe4thWall can thou come here please?)

Anyway. . .

I was Nico di Angelo. It was midnight. As for where I was. . .

I looked around wildly. I stood up and tried to walk away, but then I heard something rattling. I looked down to see metal gleaming in the darkness. Only then did I realize that I had chains on my arms and legs.

I am Nico di Angelo (ugh. Still don't know whether it is am or was), and it is midnight. I have no idea where I am. Don't freak out. Stay calm. Don't panic.

But where's Percy?

Where is Percy?

I looked around, trying to find Percy in the darkness. Maybe he was here too, bound in chains that sparkle like Dumbledore's annoying sparkly eyes.

I mean, who's eyes are that sparkly? I could stare into Percy's swirling eyes that constantly changed between the different shades of sea green all day long and never get bored.

Percy.

Right. Back on track. Where's Percy?

"Percy?" I whispered. "Percy? Percy!"

There was no response.

Nico vaguely heard a heavy door open and someone slither in.

(A/N Or did they Slytherin?

No? Okay.)

He called out Percy name a few more times, his thoughts only on Percy.

Percy, he thought. Where are you? Where are you Percy? Percy Percy Percy! Percy? Percy? Percy? Where are you? Percy, where are-

Why is there a noseless person standing in front of me?

(A/N Merry late Christmas, thou all.)
