Reunited-A Reynico Fanfiction

[Chapter 13]

Previously...
  He locked the closet and sneaked out the window.

  He didn't know about Nico's claustrophobia.

  Nico had two strange dreams.

  The first one was about Aphrodite lecturing him about the power of love-but he didn't pay attention.

  Who would?

  In the second dream, he was back in the jar. That jar felt so real that he could touch the walls. Normally, he would wake up, but he couldn't. He was terrified and panicking. 'What if I really am in a jar?'

  Eventually, he fainted.

  He didn't know back then that the dream wasn't a dream. It was real, and he was locked inside the closet.

  When Hazel woke up, Nico wasn't in bed.

  She presumed that he went for a morning walk. Though the fact that Nico wasn't a morning person bothered her, but she just continued her day.

  At breakfast, Nico was nowhere to be seen.

  She was worried, but she decided to question Nico later.

  When she went back to her cabin after breakfast, she saw Nico's aviator jacket and his sword.

  Something was wrong.

  She went to tell her friends.

  Reyna woke up at 4 a.m.

  She looked at her desk and was reminded that she didn't have any work to do that day because Nico and Stefan had helped her.

  She glanced at the TV in her room.

  She shook her head and muttered, "Television can wait."

  Then she tied her hair in a high ponytail and unclipped her cape. And she went jogging around the camp with her armor on.

  That weighs like a sandbag.

  Her dogs ran with her. "Exercising is good for metal dogs." Ella had once said, and Reyna took her advice.

  Nobody was awake at the time, except for two very mischievous Stolls who were pranking Jupiter-knows-whom.

  After coming out of the shower after her morning exercise, Reyna felt very refreshed.

  Then she plopped on her bed.

  Her alarm clock beeped 6:30.

'Why did I even set the alarm if I was going to get up earlier than that?'

  There was a knock on the door.

  Reyna sat up and said "Come in."

  It opened to be Hannah.

"Um... Reyna, I need some advice on a boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? Did you have one? Why don't you ask your best friend, Lacy? She's a child of Aphrodite."

"Today is the third day of our relationship, and this is a secret. I can't tell anyone, not even Lacy. Plus, he's Roman."

"Go on."
