I walk back to the Hades cabin, feeling hopeless.
I sit down on my bed. No more were the beds in the Hades Cabin coffin-shaped and the sheets blood red. Thanks to Will, of course. Over the summer we had remodeled it so it didn't remind me of a morgue. The Hades cabin also now has windows as well.
I walk over to my bed and reach towards the drawer in my nightstand. I pull out all the items in it.
I pour over every item. Will gave them to me for my last birthday, and I nearly cried when I saw them. Photos of us. Us holding hands, me falling asleep on his shoulder, him kissing me on the cheek as I blushed. Notes he had written me, small gifts he gave me. He had a photo of me smiling, leaning into him.
He even had photos of me laughing, right after he discovered that I had ticklish ribs. The only one who ever knew that I was ticklish was Bianca. When I was a kid she used to tickle me to make me laugh when I was in a bad mood.
I lean my head backward. Now is not the time to shed tears for Bianca or Will. I may not have saved Bianca but I can save Will.
Nico, I imagine him saying, you need to sleep. I can wait.
Tomorrow I would search for Will. And I would find him.
