Will POV:

Ok that was unexpected I thought as I saw Madi kiss Darrian, I quickly averted my eyes and stood there silently as they had their moment. I couldn't help but let my mind wonder to when I first got together with Nico and I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face at the memory I probably looked like a complete fool just standing there looking at nothing and smiling like an idiot but I don't care I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Madi and Darrian talking in hushed voices I caught some of the conversation but only bits and pieces like "—tell him—I can't do it" Madi must've said that because Darrian nodded and said something I didn't quite catch then they both turned to me and Darrian said

"Ok Will what I'm about to tell you cannot leave this room no matter what ok?" I nodded

"Ok, you can trust me" at this Madi jumped in

"Can we?" I was a bit taken aback by that question whatever they were going to tell me must be really hard for them

"Ok then, there is only one thing that I can think of to convince you. Have either of you heard of an oath made on the River Styx?"

"Yes" they answered me at the same time

"Right well then you know that if someone breaks an oath they make that there are dire consequences like worse than death dire consequences so I swear on the River Styx that what you tell me I will not repeat to anyone unless I have no choice." I said thunder rumbled and I looked at them waiting for them to tell me what had happened. They seemed hesitant so I continued

"Take your time but I do need to know" they both nodded. Madi looked at Darrian and said

"Tell him, please just tell him. I c-can't" Darrian nodded and started to recount the story when we got to the part when he saw the two girls side by side in the hallway and the part where he realised that it wasn't just blood he was kneeling in I could figure out the rest but let him continue knowing that he had to finish while he was describing what condition he found Madi in I briefly looked over to her and saw she was silently crying when she saw me looking she quickly buried her face into Darrian's shoulder one of his arms was around her lower back, I saw his arm tighten around her when she buried her face into his shoulder her own shoulders shaking with silent sobs. My heart went out to her the same way it does whenever I hear stories like hers because I've heard a fair few much to my disgust, situations like hers unfortunately happen a lot more than you would think. I turned my attention back to Darrian who was explaining what happened in the ambulance, I listened carefully when he was talking about her waking up screaming similar to what happened last night, I nodded telling him to keep going. When he said a woman came up to him I asked him to describe her

"Curly blonde hair, tallish, she had sort of a regal vibe coming off her, oh and she had these stormy grey eyes that reminded me of Madi's" Madi jumped in at the mention of the woman's eyes

"Wait! I know who you're talking about—"I cut her off

"You do?"

"Yeah I saw her outside my hospital room, I don't know who she is but I remember seeing her"

"Oh so you don't actually know who she was?" I asked

"No I have no idea" she responded

Should I tell her, I mean I've only seen her once or twice but there's no way it could be anyone else. I must've looked pretty out of it because Darrian clicked his fingers in front of my face
