Nico di Angelo POV
I sprinted down the tunnel. I needed to get to the underworld before she stepped into the Lethe and forgot me forever. I didn't like that she chose rebirth. I needed her. She was my only family-besides Hazel. She'd been there after we lost our mother. I needed her.
"Im coming Bianca, " i muttered. "Im coming. " i ran faster, faster than id ever run before. I saw light coming from somewhere at the end of the tunnel. I ran towards it and i emerged on the other side. I didint slow down. Not even when i say Bianca on the edge of the Lethe.
"Bianca!" I cried so loud everyone in the world probably heard me. It was too late. She stepped it right as i called to her. The floor started to crack under me and i realised what was happening. I tried to run but the floor gave way. My body slid against the hard dirt as i struggled to find a hand hold. I felt blood drip down my cheeks. I couldn't find a hand hold.
"No, no, no , no" i muttered realizing where this hole led to. It led to Tatrarus, home of all monsters. I wouldn't stand a chance down there by myself. I finally found a hand hold but i couldnt hold on. My fingers were all scraped up and bloody. One of my hands slipped. I dangled by one bloody hand over the pit that would drive me insane. My heart was racing with adrenaline. I could barely breath. My hand slipped and the last thing i remembered was praying to Hades that i survived this. Praying i didnt die, that i made it through Tartarus and kept my sanity. Thats when i blacked out.
