ITS BEEN WHAT LIKE TWENTY NINE CHAPTER ALREADY? BUT DID YOU KNOW I AM NOT RICK RIORDAN. *GASP!* WHO WOULD OF GUESSED?
CHAPTER 29 - NICK P.O.V.
"But that's not possible," Tessa said.
"Yeah, Daedalus died, gave Mom his laptop and Dad his dog, and the whole Labyrinth died along with him," I said.
"Wow, there's a brain in there." Silena smirked.
"Wait wasn't the Labyrinth considered a living, growing, moving, thing?" Ava didn't wait for anyone to her answer. "Well maybe it regenerated just like monsters do , and it came back."
"Can I touch it?" Tyler asked. Everyone stared at him. "I mean to you know see if it opens," he cleared his throat.
"Go ahead Ty," Ava said. Tyler carefully walked over to the triangle and pressed it. The bottom of the wall slid open halfway, making a really small door way.
"Cool!" Sammy said.
"No not cool at all," Haley said.
"Um, should we like go in?" Jasper asked.
"Ya we should," Bex said. Tyler stepped aside to let Sebastian and Haley walk in first. Silena started making her way towards the entrance so I follow and Jasper followed me.
I had to really duck under to get in. I'm not fat, its just I'm strong, I have mussel.
Ava came in after with Tessa, and Ace trailing behind.
"Tessa," Ava whispered.
"What?" Tessa whispered back. "And why are we whispering?"
"I don't know? But is that really Daedalus's laptop?"
"Yes, Mom gave it to me on my first night of camp. Its to complicated to use. The only thing I really figured out how to do on this is how to get to the internet, and watch movies."
"You are using Daedalus's laptop to watch movies?!"
"Ava you want to touch it?" Tessa asked sarcastically. My sister looked like she was going to faint when Tessa handed her the laptop.
"I thought it got lost in Tartarus, but for years, I've been studying blue prints of it. If I just―"
"Ava you have to move out of the doorway," Tyler said annoyingly.
"Just one―" she mumbled off getting absorbed into the laptop.
She didn't even objected when Tyler picked her up to physically move her. "Av, don't just one minute me. One minute in Ava land it forever." Sammy and Bex came in right after Tyler cleared the doorway.
The laptop shrunk down to the size of a tablet. "I got a map of the Labyrinth, and the map changes as the Labyrinth changes."
"We should have recruited her a long time ago," Ace said.
"No kidding," I said.
Ava handed the new made tablet to Tessa. "Its your quest. Not mine."
Tessa looked at the map, "We should start by going straight, wait no, we should um! Gods I can't read this map for the life of me!" She handed the tablet to Bex, who tried to come up with a plan, but ended up handing it to Silena.
Silena looked at Bex and Tessa like they were crazy. "Well twiddle dumb and twiddle dumber the map is upside down!"
"Well would you care to lead?" Bex asked.
"Okay lets go. Follow me everyone, we're going to have to run, the walls are changing fast." We all started running towards the left, we went left again, and then right. We stopped for a second.
I turned around, "Silena you should see this." Only Ace and Tessa were there.
"Where is―" Silena started. A wall behind her started moving and it look like it was going hit her head.
"Silena watch out!" I yelled. She ducked right away. When it stopped moving she stood right back up like nothing ever happened.
"Where is everyone?" she asked.
"I guessed we lost them?" Tessa said.
"Thank you for pointing out the obvious," I said.
"What's that?" Ace pointed down the tunnel. "That light."
"Outside?" I said.
"Well lets go," Silena said. We ran towards the light. (A/N hahaha, not literally they are not dying.)
We came out into a stadium like place. I looked around there there were two other tunnels like the like we were coming out of. Sebastian, Haley, and Ava were coming out of one, and Tyler, Sammy, Jasper, and Bex were coming out of the other one.
I turned to Silena, "What's this place?"
"Um," she looked down at the tablet for a second. "I think we are in Antaeus's arena."
"Bad or good?" I asked.
"Bad, very very bad," she said. I looked back out into the arena, Tyler was starting to walk out of the tunnel he was in. He must of triggered some kind of trip wire because alarms started blasting, and the room started shaking.
Tessa grabbed onto Ace. "What in Hades name is going on?!" she yelled.
"The monster frequency, we are right in the middle of it," Silena yelled.
"WHO IS IN MY ARENA?" a voice yelled. I stepped forward.
"That's Antaeus son of Poseidon and Gaea," Silena said through her teeth. "Nick you are going to get back here."
I ran into the middle of the arena. "I'm here...with my friends/"
Antaeus laugh, "Well they are not going to be your friends for long."
I turned around, looked at every tunnel. Everyone was being pushed out of their tunnels by monsters.
"No," I muttered.
"Now lets have some fun! Pick five of your best fighters."
"WHY?" I yelled at him.
"You'll see," he disappeared.
"I'll go," Sebastian said.
"Me too," I said. "Silena?"
"I'm in," she said in her serious warrior voice.
"I'm going," Tyler said. "Ave are you up for a real adventure?"
"Nice try, Ty not happening," Ava said.
"Me, for sure," Ace said.
"And me," Jasper said.
"Silena take my mom's invisibility cap. You might need it," Tessa said.
"We got six!" I yelled out.
Antaeus reappeared. "Okay now the rest of you, please walk over to the stands to watch your friends die."
"SEB!" Haley yelled.
"Hey don't worry Hales, I promise I'll come back to you," he pulled her in for a long kiss.
"Hey what he said," Ace said to Tessa and kissed her.
"I love you and if you don't come back alive, I'll kill you," Tessa said.
Bex, Ava, Tessa, Sammy, and Haley were pushed to the stands.
"Now you six what to do, what to do?" Antaeus tapped his chin.
"You don't know what you are doing?" I asked.
"Of course not. I'm making up this game as I go along. Pair up that will be fun."
"Nick?" Silena asked.
"Isn't there anyone else?" I said.
"Fine I'll ask Jasper."
"Silena haven't you ever heard of sarcasm? I always want to be with you, you know that."
"Okay," Silena laughed. Sebastian and Tyler parried up, and Jasper and Ace partnered up.
"We're ready," Sebastian said. Antaeus smiled evilly and everything went black.
