Nico POV

For some reason, Hinata didn't mind about shadow traveling. She actaully liked it, which I think it's odd for the daughter of Apollo. I mean all of the Apollo kids like light and everything bright, but this one is way different. I'm thinking Hinata might be a black sheep in the family, which is find for me. As we got to the Underworld, Hinata's eyes widen with amazement.

"It's not much here," I said. "but it is the Underworld and my home."

"I think it's brilliant." Hinata said

My face turned red. Okay she's the first girl who ever said the Underworld was brillant. I'm not sure if that's normal, but I've just got to go with it. Hinata can surprised me sometimes. I wonder what else she thinks is brillant...I think I should take her to a graveyard and see what she thinks. I laid Hinata down on a black bench. Hinata whinced as if the pain of the poison is coming to her. I've got to hurry, or else, all I'll be seeing is her corpes and spirit.

"Okay, I'll be going into the palace," I said. "Just stay here and don't eat or touch anything, becaues if you do, you'll stay in the Underworld forever."

Hinata nodded. "Don't worry, I won't do anything of that."

I held Hinata's hand as if it was the last time i'll be seeing her. If I don't make it back by sun down, I'm not sure what to do when she dies. Apollo thinks I can't save her on time, but he's wrong. I will save Hinata before sun down. I'm not loosing her again.

I went inside the dark palace hoping father wasn't too busy to help me. If father doesn't understand about this situation I have, I have no choice, but to either threaten him or just steal the flower. As I went inside the palace, father was having his Undeworld lunch. When he saw me, his expression was still the same as always.

"Ah, my son," Hades said. "What are you doing here in this fine home of ours?"

"Well, you see, I need something from you." I said

"What is it?" Hades asked in boredom.

"Um...can I have the black gem flower?" I asked. "I need it and it's very important."

"No." Hades answered straight away.

"Why not?" I shouted

"Becaues it's the last one." Hades said as if it was obvious

"But I need it! It's very impotant!" I protested.

"Then tell me already!" Hades snapped.

I narrow my eyes. I couldn't believe I'm going to explain this to him. "Do you remember the girl I was talking about?"

Hades nodded. "Ah yes, the girl that you fell in love with."

I sighed. "Yes and she's actually a demigod and she got hurt by manicore poison. I already got two flowers: Ambrosis and the fire flower. Now I need to black gem flower. Please, father I really need that flower to save her."

"Let's see..." Hades said hesitately. "No."

My mouth drop open. "What! You can't be serious, father! Have you ever want to save the woman you love?"

Hades's face darken. "Yes...your mother, but I did try to save her by trying to convince her to go to the Underworld with me. Like I told you, she didn't want that and look what ahppened now! She's dead! since the woman I love died, your woman will meet the same fate!"

"Father, that's not fair!" I shouted angrily.

"Life isn't fair!" Hades shouted back.

I couldn't believe this. My own father won't even help his own son. This is just not fair. Hinata is going to die and my father won't give a crap about it. I can't just stand here and let my father win this argument. If I can't talk to him about giving me that flower, then I have no choice, but to steal it from him. Even though I don't know how to steal stuff, but I could try. In the distance I could hear a fiant scream of pain. It was Hinata. This isn't good. It must be halfway 'till sundown. I might not make it on time.

"Fine," I grumble. "You win. Can I at least get something to eat?"

"As long as your stepmother doesn't see you here at the Underworld, be my guess." Hades replied.

"Okay..." I said as I slowly step back behind my father.

Hades went back eating his lunch. I went up to the kitchen door and open it. I closed the door, but I didn't went inside. Instead, I quixkly went to the other direction in the palace. I could sense, Hinata in pain by the poison. The poison is now affecting her really badly and I may not have much time left. I knew where Hades kept his medicine herbs and it's a good thing that I know where it is.

I ran as fast as I can to get to the palace's medical room. I know it may be weird for my father having a medical room in his home, but he does have one juts in case. You can't blame him. He didn't have a throne at Olympus and now he does.

When I finally got to the medical room, I open and door and went inside. I closed the door behind me and locked it. I turn on the lights and try to find the black gem flower. I had to pull out my sword and break every glass in my way. I don't care if my father hears it, I don't have time! Jars of medicine broke all over the flour and liquid was flooding the room. I don't care what happens, but I just don't want the girl I love to die. Then, I saw something black drop onto the floor. I look down slowly and saw it was a flower. It was a flower and it's petals were covered with black gems and so was the pollen. This is it! This is the flower!

I quickly took the flower and shoved it into my pocket. I grab myself a bowl, a wooden grinder, and necter, just in case if I need it, which I porbably will, since Hinata might know how to make the potion. I quickly shadow tavel out of the room and came to the garden where Hinata was lying down on the bench, moaning in pain.

I need to know if the sun is going down or not. I got out some black Underworld dusk from my pocket and toss it into the air. I held out my hand.

"Show me the outside world!" I command

The black dusk swirled around and in a few seconds later, it showed me the mortal world. My mouth drop. The sun was begining to set. I shook my head. No! This isn't happening! This must be a lie.

"D-Do...you...got the...f-flower?" Hinata asked in a almost fiant voice.

I nodded rapidly as I picked her up in my arms. "Yes, now we're just going back to camp, right this instant!"

Hinata open her mouth to say more, but I shadow travel right away before she can say anything else. I didn't have time to explain her why can't we do the potion here. I need to have my proof to see if the sun is setting and if it is, then I might be too late!

We arrived to camp on Half-Blood Hill. Everyone was having their dinner at the Mess Hall. Even though, I am hunery, but I don't have time to get a snack. I look over at the firework beach and saw the sun. My eyes widen with shock. So it wasn't wrong.

The sun is setting and I only have ten seconds left.
