Hestia's POV

Once the dizziness stopped, Rihanna and I got up and walked over to the girl Rihanna said would put us all in the same wing.

As the ordeal ended, Rihanna and I strolled down the halls towards the courtyard. Suddenly, I spotted him. "Helios!" I cried out, rushing into his arms. He held me tightly as if afraid I would vanish." Oh, Hestia, thank the gods you're safe," he exclaimed in a voice filled with relief and joy.

After a bit, Helios and I pulled away from the hug. I turned to Rihanna, realizing I had yet to introduce them to each other." Right Helios Rihanna, Rihanna Helios, my brother, there you are now introduced to each other," I said quickly. I walked down the halls awkwardly, allowing them to talk as my fingers picked at my nail beds. Worry rushed through me at the thought that Belladonna was dead. I can't deal with that and hear her name being called out as her final goodbye. My fingers were stinging and bleeding as I picked at them when I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of weeping.

My mind blanked, and I just started walking toward the cries. I finally snapped back when I finally found the source of the cries, and it was Belladonna. She was alive, sitting against the wall, her legs tucked tightly into her chest, her sword on the floor next to her. "Bell," I called out to her; she quickly looked up when she heard my voice. "Hestia," she called back to me. I fell to the ground, stretching my arms out to her. She jumped off the floor and into my arms. I hugged her tight, making sure I was real and, if she was real, that both of us were alive.

I pulled away, brushing her short, curly brown hair out of her face, checking to see if she was alright. Once I was sure, I picked her up, grabbed the sword off the ground, put it around my back, and ensured she was comfortable. She clung to me, playing with the rubies of my neckless, her head buried into my neck as I whispered comfortingly to her as I walked back to Rihanna and Helios.

"Hey, there you are," Helios yelled out to me. I smiled, looking over to Rihanna. "Look who I found, "referring to the kid in my arms, who I was pretty sure had fallen asleep, but I was wrong as she moved her head out of my neck, looking at Helios and Rihanna, waving at them muttering a little hi tiredly before burrowing her head back into my neck. I rubbed my hand down her back, which had thankfully stopped bleeding." okay then, let's get moving. People don't want to be late. We've got people to see," Helos called out to us.

As we walked down the halls, jocking with Rihqnna and Helios, we were mindful of Bella, making sure not to be too loud and wake her up. When we finally made it to the courtyard entrance, we stepped into a crowd of people as we tried to make our way through to find Violet. As I felt Helios leave my side, I started to panic. My breath picked up, and as I clutched onto Bella tighter, their voices rang in my ear.

I flinched as someone grabbed my hand, telling me to breathe. Their face was blurry as my eyes glossed over, but I refused to cry. I started to calm down, gripping onto who I now recognized as Violet."You're okay, breathe, you're safe. I'm here," she said as I finally calmed down. "Thank you, Violet," I said quietly as I felt Bella move, probably finally waking up from the commotion.
