"Get her to Will now!" The party pony galloped away.

"Don't yell"she complained.
Piper turned around quickly enough to see a party pony with a t-shirt that says "Party Pony Reunion: Trotting Miles of Fun in Miami". On his back were Rachel and Nico. To Piper's surprise, it was Rachel that didn't look so good.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Rachel killed a monster." Nico said matter of factly.
Piper looked shocked.
"Good," Rachel said, "I'm not the only one that doesn't believe him."
Piper looked shocked.
"Good," Rachel said, "I'm not the only one that doesn't believe him."
"Hey Nico, Rachel," Leo acknowledged from his cot/stretcher. "Am I getting new roommates in here?"
"Apparently" Nico sighed. Then he winced and took off his shirt. There was a huge slash across his chest.
"Where did that come from?!" Rachel cried.
"I have.... no idea" he said. He moved to suddenly and the cut started to bleed, flowing fast.
"Whoa, that looks bad," Leo said.
"It's just a scratch," Nico said nonchalantly but breathing harder than he should have been.
"Just a scratch!" Rachel exclaimed. Then under her breath, "Your mortal now, I can't lose you to a monster."
"It's just a scratch," Nico said nonchalantly but breathing harder than he should have been.
"Just a scratch!" Rachel exclaimed. Then under her breath, "Your mortal now, I can't lose you to a monster."
"Nothing'll happen. For now, just worry about yourself"
"Will!" Piper shouted. He came running. "Get Nico so bandages and ambrosia."
"I can't have ambrosia..."
"I can't have ambrosia..."
Piper looked at him funny.
"You haven't had ambrosia before? Do you not like the taste? Are you on a no-godly-food diet?"
"You haven't had ambrosia before? Do you not like the taste? Are you on a no-godly-food diet?"
"No," he said slowly, "I can't eat it. It would kill me."
"Nico, don't be silly, it will only kill mortals," pipe said.
"Exactly."
"Nico, don't be silly, it will only kill mortals," pipe said.
"Exactly."
(should I delete mine?)
(yeah, yours is better explained just lemme write the next part)
(I gotta go to bed!! Write great things without me!! But not too much ;P)
"Say whaaaaa?""I made a deal to get Rachel back. The price was my demigodishness, my godly side." Nico explained.
(I love the word demigodishness :))
"But you can get it back eventually right?" Piper said slowly.
"But you can get it back eventually right?" Piper said slowly.
(really have to go to sleep now. See you tomorrow, awesome fellow writers :))
((*bows* Thank you, thank you))"I don't think so. Nemesis is strict about her deals"
Piper stared at him with wide eyes. "You sold part of yourself to Nemesis? Holy Zeus do you KNOW what that means?"
"Ummm no..."
"It means Nemesis can now control you, becouse she owns half of yourself, and if your other half resists she can crush the half she has and you'll be a demighost!"
(Whoa did not see that one coming :))
Nico clenched and unclenched his fists. He felt in control of himself but it felt weird to know at anytime, Nemesis could take over his command system or gain access to his thoughts.
"Can you get Will to do something... I think I'm-" Nico started.
But suddenly his eyes glazed over and he heard this weird crackly voice in his head. Seek revenge on Perseus Jackson. He hurt my son in the Second Titan War. Your friend is right. If you will not oblige, I will crush your will and you will never see your little girlfriend again .

"Um, nothing?" It sounded like a question.
"Nemesis," he's aid stiffly. "She's in my head."
"Nemesis just spoke to me..she wants me to seek revenge...on someone." Nick frowned looking away from Piper toward the battle.
"She wants me to kill him, or she will destroy my soul." he left out the part about Rachel.
"I'm not going to do it!" Nico protested, as if he thought they were accusing him of going along with it.
"but why'd you make the deal in the first place!!!" yelled Piper
"It doesn't matter now, does it?" Nico stated with rolled eyes.
"Fine! Get some sleep, you too Rachel, we'll figure it out in the morning" Piper said. Rachel sat down in a bed across from Nico.
Rachel watched Piper go, and waited until Leo was fiddling with some gadget, before she turned on her bed on her side toward where Nico lay on his bed. "Hey, Mister gloom-and-doom, I know you didn't tell Piper everything, charmspeak or no charmspeak."
"What do you mean?" he asked nervously, worried that she'd figure it out."I told her everything."
"Uh huh. Look, being a Oracle? It kind of gives you this insight into people. You can't lie to someone like me." Rachel felt she could preen a little bit while pressing for the truth. It was only fair for Nico worrying her.
"Fine. She also told me I would never see you again""Nico, I-"
"Don't start with that!" he yelled in frustration. "Look, get it into your stubborn head, you're more important to me than my own soul, and I've proved it, selling away half!"
"I...I didn't ask you to do that for me Nico. But, for what it's worth, I'm glad you did!" Rachel flinched a little at Nico's yell, but stubbornly set her lips together in a determined line. "It's just. We've got to be able to fix this somehow, and we've got to work together to do it. We need each other!"
"I'm sorry, Nico. You know that the Oracle can't...love." Rachel said, whispering the last word.
Nico looked up at the supports of the structure they sheltered under, as if wishing it would all fall down and the sky would swallow him up."I know Rachel, I'm not asking you to. I can't help how I feel, that I want to protect you no matter what."
Rachel sighed and moved to the farthest bunk from Nico, avoiding temptation, his and hers.
Nico closed his eyes and knew that Rachel had made her choice and he had to show her for her own protection that it was the right one, no matter how much it hurt him. She had to stay away from him, not help him - and not put herself in anymore danger from Nemesis.He was sorry to push her away like that, but it was...necessary.
Nico went to see if Leo had some more bandages.(don't know what to do!)
Leo looked at Nico, narrow eyed."Girl troubles?"
(Where are you Jason, okay, let's say he flew Piper out of the Underworld following Blackjack, as we seem to have lost him. He couldn't have been far from Piper, yeah?)
************************"Um, help?" He asked the big girl, Clarisse, as he rapidly avoided blows from the monster.
Clarisse rolled her eyes, a sneer curling her lips as she did as asked, stepping forward swinging her golden sword back in forth. "Come on, come and get me. I've had a bad day." There was a gleeful glint in her eye as the monster turned it's head to follow the sword glinting in the sunlight.
Jason threw his coin in the air and catched it as a sword. Then he ran to the monster, called up electricity and stabbed the monster in its flipper, watched in amazement as he realized electricity made it bigger.
