⚡ 010.
[Nico has been doing everything right. Sticking around Percy for the past few days, never leaving the room by himself, carrying his sword with him even though he knew it won't do much good against whatever this thing was.
He's doing everything right, but he knows that it isn't enough. And he's about to be proven right on that.
Two days cooped up inside the castle, and cabin fever is starting to set in. Nico's sitting on the extra bed that the ghosts moved into Percy's room, eating out of a bag of chips retrieved from the kitchen, when his shoulders tense up, and his eyes go wide.]
Um, Percy? It's... it's behind...
[He doesn't even have time to reach for his sword. No sooner do the words leave his mouth than the monster strikes, and with a strangled cry the boy falls backwards off the bed.
He vanishes before he hits the floor. The only noise remaining is a soft crinkle as the bag of chips falls to the ground.]
((ooc: and then there were... however many there were before, minus Nico.))
