As the Python Rises, so does Solangelo

Part 26

Mark POV
Snake ladies came, they came out of two buses. She yelled, a blast of sunlight exploded and killed 15 of them. She then yelled something in what had to be the language of the sun. Five sun soldiers came and helped us fight. She slashed and hacked at them. One of them struck her leg, the blade dripping in poison. She screamed and I yelled and charged. She tapped my shoulder and a burst of energy came threw me, she mouthed run and I did. I ran past the old van and saw am old car. They stopped and out jumped Connor. "Where is she?" He demanded. "I-I don't know," I stammered, "she gave me energy and told me to run," he let out a frustrated breath. Then a girl dropped out of the sky, landing--- meh. Her leg was bleeding. Connor had some ambrosia and gave it to her. She ripped off a small chuck and ate it, handing the rest back to Connor. "Apollo kids don't need as much," she explained. Already her leg was healing. The blood was tinted green and it honestly made me a little sick. "Oh that, well, my body is reaping the poison so it bleeds it out," she said. I nodded and she wiped off the green tinted blood with a cloth. Her leg was good as new. I'm not gonna lie, she was hot fighting monsters but I wasn't going to say that. She stood up and said, "let's go," Connor and I got in the back and Evaya flew ahead of us. Connor seemed pissed at me, which I didn't understand. The only reason, was if he too had a crush on her.

Nico POV a/n bet you weren't expecting that!
Ugh!!! It wasn't fair. I quest to save my boyfriend and I wasn't even allowed to go! I smiled briefly at the word boyfriend. There was a knock on my cabin door. "It's open Jason," I say. He walks in and sits down on an unoccupied bed. "Look, it's obvious that you're pissed that you can't go on the quest," he started. I glared, "No, it's because my pet goldfish died," I said sarcastically. Jason sighed, "but you have to remember, there's a reason you weren't spoken to go. Don't you think all of the Apollo cabin wanted to go?" He asked. I considered this. "Yeah but- it's --- ITS ALL HIS STUPID SUNLIGHT CONDUCTING SISTERS FAULT THIS HAPPENED!!" I yell suddenly. Jason looked confused, "Nico, it sounds like you're trying to blame her for this. I don't think she wanted her brother to be kidnapped and risk her life trying to save him," he said. I glared, "she saw this coming Jason, and she didn't do anything! " I half snarled. Jason sighed. "She probably did but she couldn't fight fate, and, cut the girl some slack, she lost her brother for five years, and now everyone's looking at her because she's all round Apollo. Think about it Nico," Jason said rising to go. After he left I agreed he was right. Annoying son of Jupiter. I looked at the shrine to Hades. Sighing I thought about a wish I had made. The last line of the prophecy, death shall stay away from all but one, I hoped it wasn't Will. As much as I despised his sister, I hoped it wasn't her either. A male death was definitely coming soon. I just couldn't tell who's it was.
