Anyway! Here is the chapter!

Reyna

Getting knocked out by a coffee machine was not Reyna’s definition of fun.

Almost straight after she’d been dragged into unconsciousness, she was pulled into a nightmare. And not just any nightmare-a demigod nightmare.

Reyna stood alone in a dark corridor. The stone walls seemed to press against her threateningly and the sickening sense of ancient times and forgotten despair lingered sinisterly in the atmosphere.

“Hello?” She called. Her voice echoed throughout the corridor until it was no longer recognisable as hers.

“You must not fail!” A female hissed further down the passageway. “Gaia needs her sacrifices! You know what will happen if you fail to bring the girl to our mistress!”

There was a scuffle, and a male voice with a Middle-Eastern accent echoed throughout the corridor. “I will succeed. And besides, isn’t the boy more dangerous?”

“Do not fear, son.” The female voice cackled. “Perseus Jackson is being taken care of.”

Reyna’s breath caught in her throat as she crept forward, her dagger clutched tightly in her hand. She slipped round the corner and hid herself in the shadows as two people-one male, one female-argued as they walked in her direction.

Some instinct told her to close her eyes, and she obeyed trustingly.

She sensed them walk past her, footsteps firm and calculating.

“Hmm.” The male voice replied, not sounding satisfied. “I hope Gaia keeps her side of the deal. I want the boy alive before me, begging for mercy, his blood running down onto the cold, stone floor…” His voice trailed off.

There was a loud slap! “Keep a hold on yourself.” The female voice hissed. “Pasiphae herself controls this maze. She hears everything; sees everything; knows everything that goes on here.”

Reyna took a deep breath through her nose, trying to calm herself. A sickly feeling rose in her throat.

The ground beneath her rumbled gently.

“Gaia summons me.” The female voice announced. “You have a task to accomplish, Chrysaor. Do not fail me.”

The dream faded, replaced with a similar scene.

Reyna stood in the same corridor, but instead of stone walls, it was modern day brickwork.

“Let me go!” A familiar voice screamed. There was a loud crack! and a male grunt of pain.

Reyna spun round in a full circle, slipping her dagger into her right hand, ready for action.

“You’re going to pay for that!” A male voice growled-undoubtedly the same person in Reyna’s last dream.
