《A Daughter of Thanatos( Nico di Angelo )》Chapter 37

"Don't press it too hard." Nico said.
"Uh, okay, um, like this?" I pressed a bit lighter than last time and Nico smiled at me. "Good."
"Okay, then. I need you to press there." He points and I groan. "Ugh, so many 'pressing.' I do not ike this at all."
"If you wanna be able to drive, gotta go through it all." He gives me a smug grin and I press on the breaks fast. "Shit!"
"Don't worry, I know you are." I give him a sweet smile and get out of the car.
"You're never gonna be able to drive if you give up!" He shouts from the car. I flip him off and walk away. "I'm taking a break. My legs need to stretch!" I do some lunges and tie up my hair.
"Okay, dickhead, I'm ready now." I hop back into the car and grin. It's been a month since we've confessed to each other and things are running..... smoothly? I mean we do our regular bickering but we make up eventually. Nico has been much less annoying these past few days and I don't roll my eyes as much.
Andy and Cole have been annoyingly sweet as always. They feed each other, walk together, act like children together, I find it hard that they didn't sleep together yet! Don't worry, I just meant the regular kind of sleeping not the, uh, 'bow-chika-wow-wow.' Oh, Gods, that would be awkward. Great, I've got the shivers now.
Shadow actually has a dude she's interested in. After eating a whole bunch of carrots she's been fancying the guy that grows them. His name is Scott. Her mouth won't stop. Seriously, guys, I'm scared that she might turn into a carrot if she doesn't end this. I'm really worried for her... Advice would be great.
Now, Leo and Irissa... Oh, gods, THE FREAKING PUNS WON'T END. Irissa sadly has learned from the best the worst of puns a person could ever say. You know what they said to Andy on her time of the month? "Menstruation jokes aren't funny. Period." If you guessed that it didn't end well, you'd be correct. It ended bloody.

"CLAREEEEEE!" Andy screamed. I accidentally honked the horn making Nico jump in his seat. "What the hell?!"
I giggled nervously. "What's wrong?"
"Hmm, I don't know... Maybe it's because my girlfriend hasn't let me sleep in a while." He glares at me. I pat him on the shoulder. "You should talk to your girlfriend about that."
"CLAREEEEE!!!" I hit it again and Nico screams. "Get out the damn car already!"
I honk the horn some more before leaving.
"What's up Andy?" I ask. Before she responds I answered, "I didn't mean the sky." She pouts glaring my way. She too has learned 'he-who-knows-how-to-annoy-someone-quite-easily.' It isn't Nico by the way.
"Help me escape from Cole!" She whispers. Huh? "Why? Did something happen?"
Let me take back that they were really sweet with each other.
"We're playing hide-and-go-seek!"
Let me take back that they weren't really that sweet.
"Oh, well, why don't you hide behind Shadow's pile of carrots, since you hate them." I walk away from her. She pinches her fingers. "He maybe coming this way already though. I did scream pretty loud."

"You're on your own. See ya!" I run away from her and she doesn't bother to chase after me.
I decide to head over to Shadow's cabin, hopefully she'll be there.
I was walking, and walking, and walking, and walking. BASICALLY JUST WALKING.
I mean really, camp isn't that exciting. Unless there's a party and an attack.
By the time I get there, Shadow had already turned into a carrot and a boy started to shoot lasers at me. Nico suddenly appeared in front of me taking the laser. As I held him in my hands I said, "My Dear reader, this is not real. I just wanted to say something really crazy (this is not really that crazy)."
But shadow did turn into a carrot.
Her face was orange and had that look in her eye. That 'I-wanna-rape-you-but-I-wonder-if-im-actually-going-crazy.'
She was looking at a carrot. A CARROT.
If only her gran was here... I wouldn't have witnessed this.
"Shadow, what the actual hell are you doing?!" I take away the carrots and she starts clawing at me. What is wrong with her?
"Clare, please give me my carrots." She held out her hand, expecting me to hand them over. I gulp. Shit...
"I-I can't Shad. Your carrot obsession is becoming dangerous. You might get hurt. We can't continue this." I say it slowly hoping she'll understand. "Don't you dare, Clare! I need these carrots to survive, telling me to live without them is like telling someone to live on the moon without any protective gear. Crazy, stupid, and dangerous."
Um... You guys also know that that isn't a healthy thing to be saying, right?
"Fine, I'll give them back." I was about to hand it to her, but I ran out of her cabin. "HAHAHA, SIKE!!!"
I laugh while running away with the carrots, making sure not to bump into some people during the process. I feel bad, but this is the best for Shadow.
"CLAREEEEE!!!!!" She growled. She got closer so quickly that I almost pissed myself. She can be quite scary sometimes...
"COME AND GET YOUR CARROTS. VERY GOOD FOR THE EYES!!!" Shit. Shit. Shit.
"Don't you dare sell my carrots, you evil demon lady!" I stick my tongue out and run faster. (More like gasping while jogging.........) I make a sharp turn and bump into.... Eric?
"OH! Hey, Eric!! Can you hold onto these carrots for me? Okay, thanks! Big help, big help." I say, shoving the carrots into his arms. I start 'running' again and thought about how hard it is to be such a wonderful friend. I do so much for her yet I get the beating? Messed up.
"Clare, give me back my damn carrots!" She shouts.
I have no idea what to do now. I can face Shadow head on and die, or keep running and let her find out that I actually led her far away from her precious carrots and then die. Very, very tricky. Oh yeah, I haven't seen Eric in awhile... He seemed really familiar the first time I met him. Maybe I had an encounter with him before I went to camp.
I was too caught up on thinking of him that I got distracted and tripped on a carrot. I fell boobies first and may I just say, "OW! Fucking bitch!" The booby pain is real. The booby pain is not a myth. I think I might cry.

"Dude, give me a break! Please!" I cursed some more holding onto my boobs. Damnit, she's already here. My arms cross into an 'x' to protect my boobs. She frowns, but gives me time to regain my posture again. Shadow's eyes are sympathetic as she looks down on me.
I sit up and groan. "I don't have your carrots." I say. She stiffens and hardens her gaze. "Then, where the fuck is it?" I cross my arms again. "With Eric, the Apollo dude." She grabs onto me and shakes the living shit out of my soul. She screams bloody murder into my face. She really shouldn't do that though, some of her spit went onto my face.
I scrunched up my face. She lets me go and runs off to gods know where. I wipe my face and just walk away.
I'll let Andy take care of the carrots next time. No way I'll do that again.
I find Andy and Cole happily holding hands while he tries to feed her carrots. Gross.
Who the heck does that?
A couple shouldn't be allowed to be all cute together unless they've farted in front of one another. I've farted in front of Nico, yet I'm still not use to being cute.
I like farting in front of Nico. Before you ask, no, he does not try to make a larger fart bomb. He just acts like nothing happens. Or he tries to guess what I had earlier. He has the nose of a hound dog.
"Hey, stupid, why didn't you come back?" Nico flicks my the side of my head. "Shadow turned into a carrot."
"Oh... okay..?" He nods his head thoughtfully and starts using my shoulder as an arm rest. I am short. If 5 feet is considered tall, then oh yeah. I'm hella tall. Sometimes I feel crappy about my height, but once I remember that tall people can't hide under tables or a tight space to avoid things hitting their head, I feel better. If you guys are pretty tall, please try not to use your friends as an arm rest. It my be relaxing for you, but not for the person who has to carry your damn weight for you. Just sayin.
"What are you thinking about?" Nico asks. "Nothing, just about how rude you are." He raises an eyebrow and smirks. "Sure..." I squint my eyes up at him. "You got taller." He nods. "Yep. Two whole inches." I glare at him. "Wow... A few more months and you can finally ride the big boy rides." His smirk gets even wider. "I don't think I would mind, to be honest." His eyebrows lift up in a mischievous way and his eyes begin to go up and down my body.
"Uhh....?" He leans his face down to me. "What would you do if I told you that I am already big enough small enough for the big boy rides?" I raise my eyebrows. "Hah! You are still pretty small."
"Okay... Whatever my little shorty says..." He sighs and shrugs me off.
"Shorty, huh? I really do believe that it isn't appropriate to keep bringing up your dick in the middle of our conversations." He puts a hand over his heart. "How hurtful. You haven't even seen him yet. He's pretty average." I placed my hands up in surrender. "I mean... you never showed it to me but, fine."
"Are you still pissed about that?" He laughs and shakes his stupid head.
"Um, of course! You showed Will Solace, but you can't show it to me?" I huff and turn to look at him properly. He stares at me with a stupid look on his face.
"You do realize that was because you pushed me into a bush with poison ivy and he had to put ointment on my entire body."
"Fine, everything is my fault!" I throw my hands up in air and stand up.
"Just relax, you can see it one day." He pats my back and I dust his hand off. "Let's stop talking about it then." I sigh quietly.
"Thank gods." He puts his arm around my shoulders and we start walking to his cabin. "Can you believe it's been more than a year already?" He sounds amazed, as if it's such a shock that I stayed with him.
"Well, if the author didn't forget her password, she would have been able to finish this story."
Nico nods his head. "Yeah, but stuff happens, y'know?"
"Yeah, you're right, I guess. I'm just happy that we still ended up together. I hope we can stay like this for a long time..."
"Yeah... I do too." He pulls me to his body and I'm engulfed by his scent. "I love you."
"I love you too, shorty." He smiles and I lightly hit his shoulder. "Sometimes you are really annoying."
He pets my head and looks into my eyes. "That's why you love me, right?"
I give our hug a little squeeze and smile. "I guess you are right. I really, really like you."
"We are back to liking? What happened to you loving me?" He raises his right brow and I giggle. "You called me shorty again."
THE END.
Hi guys! I know a lot of you hate me for leaving this story like that for a long time. I am really sorry, but I logged out of my account (which I never log out of) and I forgot my password. I tried to reset it but I also forgot my email password.... I am so sorry, but I was really shocked when I searched up my book and I saw that people were still reading this. After I found out that Nico was gay, I was really happy that he came out. I really ship him with Will so I am not broken hearted. I am so happy for them.
A really BIG thank you to everyone who supported this book and kept on rereading my story even though none of you guys knew what happened to me. Again, I am really sorry that I left you guys hanging there for almost 2 years. This concludes 'A Daughter of Thanatos'
I will be doing a Q&A and answer your questions about anything. Leave any questions you guys have in the comments section. Thank you!
