Ω |PART 8| Ω

In the morning we woke up with a loud banging on the door.

"WILL! WILL, WAKE UP!" A voice screamed from outside. It sounded like they were crying. I groaned and climbed down the bed. Since neither, Will or Nico reacted, I decided to answer the door.

"WILL- oh. Hi. You're the new Hades camper, right? I'm Lou Ellen. Daughter of Hecate. Is Will awake?" she asked, fidgeting her hands.

"'Mornin'. And no, he doesn't seem to be. What do you need?" I looked back. They were still asleep.

"I don't need anything. But I do have some terrible news" She looked at me with red eyes.

"Wait here." I said and closed the door. I went on Will's side, turned him around and slapped him.

"OW, WHAT THE- MARY!" He screamed. I think I hit him way harder than I wanted to.

"Sorry! Sorry! You weren't waking up. Lou Ellen is here. Says that she has terrible news" From what I read, I think I already know the news.

He looked at me blinking a few times, probably trying to properly wake up. He carefully untangled himself off of Nico and went to the door.

"Will! They-they disappeared. Nowhere to be found!" Lou Ellen cried.

"Who?" Will asked worried.

"K-Kayla and Austin." So I was right. They were two of Will's half-siblings, Apollo campers. The disappearing started. The Grove of Dodona started to kidnap demigods. I had to be careful. Keep an eye on Will.

"Apollo is freaking out. I think he plans to go after them. Enter the Grove." Lou said.

"Alone?!" Will exclaimed. I'm surprised that Nico didn't woke up already

"No. He's going with that daughter of Demeter. Meg."

"Meg is a 12 years old girl. Apollo is a 16 years old teenager with no control over his mortal body. They'll die instantly!" Will said. I wish I could've told them everything. But I couldn't. So, I decided to do the second craziest thing I've done since I got here.

"I'll go with them. I might not have the perfect training but I'm strong enough to survive."

"Even if, you can't. Apollo is not fully healed. He was to recover at least one more day." Will said.

"Will, your siblings will die! We can't wait for Apollo to get better. With every second that we waste the risk of them dying, raises." Lou Ellen argued with my dad.

"I KNOW! I know... but he's my dad and patient. I can't let him die. One. More. Day. One, Lou. Please."

I could see the desperation on Will's face. Same with Lou Ellen. They glared at each other. I suddenly felt like the fifth wheel, so I backed off. To my surprise and after all the screaming, Nico was still very much asleep. My pap' told me that he was a heavy sleeper but I didn't expect THIS. I decided to go to the bathroom, to talk with my pap'. Since they were yelling at each other I figured they wouldn't hear me. I also took my clothes to dress up. I chose some skinny black jeans, a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and a large black hoodie. Same make-up as the other day. I gave Will and Lou one last look before I close the bathroom door. I leaved my clothes in the sink. Since you can never be too cautious, I turned on the shower. After that I stood on the floor and pressed the button on the bracelet.
