~~~A Deep Dark Secret~~~

Chapter 7: Jasmine

---Chapter 7---

Jasmine's Pov

          Nico didn't ask me any more questions, thankfully. Nico can't find out, I thought. If anyone does, they'll think of me as a monster! A freak! I cried at the thought. Nico wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.

          "Shhh, shh, it's ok," Nico chimed as he stroked my hair. I cried into his shoulder, probably soaking Nico's shirt. I looked up and saw his smiling at me, laughing actually. I looked at him questionably. "Now me shirt's all wet. Give me a second, I need to change," he said, chuckling. I nodded and wiped away the remaining tears. I watched as Nico removed his shirt and threw it on the ground. He looked at me a smirked. I turned away, probably blushing. Nico came up to me, and this time I couldn't help but stare at him. Nico's so hot! I thought. Nico, still smirking, said, "Like what you see?"

          I looked away and blushed. "Maybe..." I muttered quietly, trying to be as quiet as possible so he wouldn't hear. Of course, Nico heard it. He crawled next to me and looked at my eyes mesmerisingly again.

          "I love your eyes," he said, before kissing me. Our lips met, and once again the fireworks hit. Kissing Nico is amazing! I thought. He crawled on top of me and started kissing down my neck. I flipped us over so now I was on top of Nico. I traced his six-pack and started kissing his neck the same way. "No fair," he complained, moaning. I smirked and looked into his eyes.

          "Not everything's fair, Death Boy." I kissed his lips again. With a swift move, Nico flipped us over so that he was on top of me again. His hand started crawling its way up my shirt. The other hand was tangled up in my hair. I curled his hair in my fingers. The rest of the night went on, interestingly.  

-----------------------------Time Laps---------------------------

          I woke up to find myself in Nico's cabin. He was next to me in bed, sound asleep. I started to dress myself when I heard Nico waking up. He sat up and looked at me.

          Nico smiled and said, "Good morning."

          "Good morning," I replied, smiling as well. I remembered everything that happened last night. Well, nothing really HAPPENED because we stopped and remembered that we were at camp. Nico got up and started getting dressed, too.

          When we were both dressed, Nico wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear. "I love you."

          "I love you too," I whispered back, smiling. We went to the pavilion to get something to eat. Nico asked Chiron if I could stay in Nico's cabin since my godly parent hadn't claimed me. Chiron let me since I was new and Nico was going to help me around.

          After breakfast, Nico and I went to the canoe lake. He told me about his childhood, or at least what he could recall. Nico's mother, Maria Di Angelo, died when he was very young and he lost Bianca when he was ten. Nico talked about how he was from the past and got stuck on the Lotus Casino. Poor Nico, I thought. And I thought that MY life's hard. Nico told me about the Underworld and how he tried to bring Bianca back but she already chose to be reborn. Nico also mentioned how he brought back his half sister, Hazel, from the Underworld. After about an hour of talking, Nico asked me about my mom.

          "So, who's you godly parent?" he asked. "You already seem to know. Who is she?"

          I looked down at the lake. "If I told you, you'd think of me as a freak, a monster," I whispered the last part.

          "No, I won't. I promise. I swear on the River Stynx that I won't look at you any differently after you tell me who your godly parent is," he said.

          "If I told you," I said. "But you would have to promise on the River Stynx."

          He nodded. "I promise on the River Stynx that I will not tell anybody about who your godly parent is."

          I looked at Nico, a bit worried that he would break his promise. I stared at the lake and said, "It's a deep dark secret that you can't tell anyone about, understand?" Nico nodded. I took a deep breath and said, "My godly parent, the one that I love so much but everyone looks down on. The one that no one thought knew how to love. The one who cares so much for me. The one that the seven sent to Tartarus. My godly parent... is Gaea."
