March 7th 1pn to midnight

After lunch we walked back to the office and to Chiron's request we already took a seat

"Would anyone anymore wish to say anything before we begin?" Chiron asked

I looked over to Bea whos leg was nervously shaking

"You say it" I mouthed

"Fine" she mouthed back then stood up clearing her throat "Uhh... I have something to say" she stuttered

"Go on" Chiron said, I redirected my vison to the back of the room where Mr. D was, he seemed calm which either meant he didn't know what this was about or he knew exactly. Normally Mr. D couldn't care less what demigods do but when it came to his own children he seemed to take an interest but this time he looked stone faced, which lead me to believe he'd been in on whatever Bea was planning

"Nicola and I volunteer to take the place of the people who escaped the underworld" she said, the room erupted into chaos and questions from everyone.

When Chiron finally got the room to quiet he called on me "Nicola is this true" he asked, I had never hated that word more then In This moment, it stung Expecialy as I met eyes with my father

I could feel Leo shaking my shoulder asking me why and I could hear my brothers asking me similar questions but I ignored them.

"Yes" I paused wiping a tear from my eyes "this mess is my fault so I should pay"

"Uh...Yes Like I was saying we volunteer this is all our fault" Bea replied she sounded more like child in a school play trying to remember their lines, and I think she thought I was just playing along but I wasn't lying this mess was my fault why else would only my siblings be coming back.

"Well if that's the case this will be much easier, although I'll have to wait until midnight when the doors are fixed so you'll have some time to say your goodbyes and all that stuff you mortals do" Thanatos said a bit annoyed before fading away and the chair was left empty again.

The room stayed silent and the air stood still for an uncomfortable amount of time, I looked over to Bea who was just sitting on the couch seemingly fine as if she hadn't just offered herself and I to die!

"No! Get him back here!" Leo yelled out, along with a few other screams and cries for others in the room not to happy about this, I wasn't to happy either, it was kinda seeing in what I'd just done and I didn't want to face that. I just hoped Bea was right and they had a plan because right now I starting to doubt it.

"I-I'm just gonna go check in Fenris" I said not even bothering to look at anyone as I walked out the door. As I walked to the back room where the old infirmary was I hear crying and sniffling at first I checked to make sure it wasn't me, but I felt so numb like everything that's happened was just to much, I definitely wanted to cry but I couldn't.

The crying came from the room where I was headed and I immediately thought the worst, I ran and swung open the door looking around to try and see what was wrong with Fenris

"Is he okay? What happened" I asked meeting eyes with Sara, she wiped away a tear and she looked embarrassed

"Dads not with you right" she asked nervously checking the doorway

"No" I turned back to check the hallway to also check for myself "no he's not I came here to ..." I wanted to lie I wanted to say I came here to check on Fenris but that wasn't true of corse I wanted to make sure he was okay but I knew that wasn't why I came here
"I just wanted to get away from them" I said

"Well I came here to get away from him" Sara replied  I knew who she meant, especially with all my brothers coming back I didn't want to be around him either it made me feel like he preferred them seeing him be so happy and excited that they were alive meanwhile I've survived this whole time and got nothing never even got a gift from him except for the ones I got as hand me downs when my siblings died or left.
