The Two That Went Missing

“ NICO!” I screamed, watching as he took a hit that could kill him and got swung through a wall. E swung the ball and chain again ready for a second victim. Right before it hit me, I pressed a final key and the ceiling above us opened up and Julia quickly came up from behind him and slashed his ‘achilles’ heel. He fell, obviously in pain because his leg couldn’t take anything else, gold blood was pouring out of cuts all over him. I walked over to Julia, as E pulled himself to a table with a bunch of glasses on it. Julia pulled out a bottle, filled with a white liquid and said
“ Get him to drink this, it will wipe his memory” She said, holding her head still in pain from the impact with Nicos own head the wall and the refrigerator. I took the bottle and ran over to the table, staying out of E’s sight, I couldn’t get close enough without him noticing. An idea popped into my head
“ Julia, give me your bow and an arrow” She pointed to her bag across the room. I ran over and got what I needed
“Can you shoot?” I asked, she shook her head, then held her head in pain, the ambrosia hadn’t kicked in yet. I sighed, notching the arrow, I was pretty good with a bow, but I’d take any help I could get, I prayed in my mind to Julia’s father and his sister, Apollo and Artemis, just incase and then throw the bottle so it was just over the table and then let the arrow fly. It hit it exactly where it was supposed to and shattered the bottle allowing drops of liquid to go all over E. Definitely got some help from the gods on that one.

E didn’t seem to notice, he licked his lips and started to lick his fingers, then stopped and his face turned confused. He looked down at his leg and screamed bursting into tears and then falling to the floor and rolling around like a baby. Just then Draken hovered over the opening and landed on the ruble. I turned to the hole in the wall Nico made and Julia spoke up
“ Go make sure he’s not dead, I got this.” she smirked, the ambrosia definitely did its job. I turned and began navigating myself around the room through that stacks of rubble. In the distance I could hear
" Where am I? What's my name?" He asked.
" Your Billy and you're in a cemetery." Julia said .
" I'M DEAD!" he screamed rolling around sobbing, until Julia said
" No you're alive you just ... " she picked up a nearby broom and threw it at him
"You work here. Yup that's it." ‘Billy’ then said satisfied
" YES, I AM BILLY AND I WORK AT A CEMETERY! " He screamed, when I looked back, he was posing like a superhero with his hands on his hips.
Their conversation faded and a climbed through the hole into the other room and ran to a limp body on the floor, Nico.
Once I got to him, the first thing I did was check his pulse, I grabbed his head and placed it in my lap and then place two of my fingers on his neck. After a while I felt a very faint single pulse. I reached into my pocket and realised that I didn’t have any ambrosia or nectar.
“ JULIA” I screamed “GET SOME NECTAR, QUICK!” Within a couple of seconds, Julia appeared in the hole and bolted over to me. She then kneeled next to me, poked him and then turned to face me
“Is he dead?” I shooked my head
“ No, but close, help me get him to drink the nectar.” She nodded and took out the canteen out as I lifted my legs up slightly so his head we elevated. Julia grabbed his face trying to get him to open his mouth, I sighed slapping her hand away
“ We’re trying to save him, not kill him”
“ His stupid mouth won’t open.” She said. I sighed and grabbed his lower jaw so his mouth was open and then looked at Julia who frowned and whispered as she poured the nectar down his throat
“I loosened it.” She poured a little bit more until I stopped her saying,
“ Any more will just do him worse.” So she recapped the canteen and we waited in silence as I held my fingers to his neck, waiting to feel his pulse pick up. After a while, nothing happened so I brushed his hair away from his eyes and then lifting his lids up to try to see if you had any eye movement or dilation … nothing. Julia and I exchanged a look, she was frowning and then pursed her lips to the side and screamed
“WAKE UP YA NITWIT” All of a sudden his pulse spiked and his eyes fluttered open and then closed as he groaned in pain. I smiled at Julia and then whistled to Drakon and he poked his head through the hole in the wall. Slowly but carefully Julia and I lifted Nico, I had his head and she had legs, until she sneezed and dropped him. I managed to hold him up by linking my arms under his armpits, however he still groaned leaning his head back in pain.
“ Julia!” I scolded.
“ I was looking for a bless you, its really dusting in here!” she said as she picked up his legs and hauled him to Drakon’s back. Once we place him down he began to roll off, now moaning in pain. We stopped him from hitting the floor and then rolled him back up. I was in the front and was trying to lean Nico onto Julia so he wouldn’t fall off, when we started to go into the air, she pushed him and said
“ Ew, I don’t want him.” Nico moaned, Julia groaned
“ We get it, you're in pain!” I gave her a look and she sighed
“How ‘bout this?” She arrange us so Nico and I were back to back. I nodded
“ Fine, just don’t let him fall.” She nodded
“ Yes mother.” I smirked and turned back to face forward
“ Let’s go Drakon” We looked back at ‘Billy’ who was sweeping, his leg obviously healed.
"See you later Billy!" Julia screamed, as we flew off towards Hawaii.
