A/N: Sorry for not updating in a few days! I have been having writer's block. Hope you enjoy this chapter! Xoxo

Hazel

I rushed over to father. "Hazel, go away," he said.

"Nyx, get out of me!" he shouted as he said that over and over again. I looked around worriedly. Finally, night left him.

"All of you have to hurry, the summer solstice is in 14 days," Father urged. Everyone looked around, not knowing how should they react. "Leave. NOW!"

I rushed over to my friends-or at least my allies. I pulled Drew by her hand and shouted at the others to follow. I looked back, Nico was at the very back-right behind Reyna. Reyna seemed uncomfortable with Nico behind her and Nico was blushing profusely. They are so cute together, I thought. Yes, I just read TFIOS, THG and Divergent and now I'm shipping everyone. Hazel, focus.

"We can make it in 14 days with time to spare if we don't get interrupted by monsters on our way to Nyx's palace," Nico said.

"Should we start making our way then?" Clarisse asked.

"I'll lead. Clarisse, stay at the back with Hazel," Nico said as he held Clarisse by her shoulder. Clarisse nodded. Reyna looked like she was going to explode soon. Her face was red and her eyes were narrowed at Clarisse. Reyna gritted her teeth and her jaws were clenched together so hard her teeth squeaked.

Drew walked over to me. "Someone jealous," she said in a sing-song voice, eyes looking at Reyna. I smiled.

"People! Start moving!" Clarisse shouted as she gathered everyone. "Pair up. If you guys get captured, at least you have someone to help you."

Will started going towards Nico. "Nico and Reyna, pair up!" I shouted. Nico and Reyna stared at me like I just grew two heads and was holding a bag of McDonalds. They didn't say anything and just walked over to each other. Will and Drew paired up. Clarisse, Malcolm and I were just a trio.

We started walking with Reyna and Nico at the back, Will and Drew in the middle and Clarisse, Malcolm and I at the back.

"How long will it take to get to Tarturus' entrance?" Will asked.

"1 and a half days," Malcolm said. Everyone stared at him. "What? I read."

"It should be about half a day already. We can walk a little bit more before we take a rest," I said. Everyone agreed.

We walked for about half an hour more. I'm not really sure though, it is hard to tell time in the Underworld. Our surroundings got gloomier and started to look more dangerous-well...just more dangerous than the Underworld but less scarier than Tarturus. Find out yourself.

"Let's rest," I said. My legs felt like they were melting in my shoes. Drew slumped to the ground and pleaded with Nico with her eyes.

"Okay," Nico said.

We set up camp and some of us started to rest. Nico and Reyna took guard duty-I forced them too, along with Drew. And no. She didn't use charmspeak. With that, I drifted off to sleep, thankfully, I had no dreams.
