As Kinzie pulled into the driveway of Hylla's house, she let out a tired sigh. Dealing with her family was absolutely exhausting, and she hated going to their annual family reunion. The only reason she did it was to see her mother, who had a full time job as a pilot. Kinzie was lucky to see her mother once a month.

Seeing her mother was the only, and she did mean the only, reason that she endured the rest of her family. If Kinzie had to once again explain that she wasn't going through a phase and that her relationship with Hylla was very serious, she was going to lose it. There was also the millions of questions about Reyna's death. Her family wanted to know everything, but it was too hard for Kinzie to tell them

Kinzie put her car into park and laid her head back. Hylla's car wasn't there, which was odd. Kinzie had called before she started the drive back, and Hylla had sounded irritated. She mentioned something about a broadcast that Otrera made, but she wouldn't go into detail. It didn't explain why Hylla wasn't home though.

Kinzie frowned and turned off her car. She slowly got out and looked at the front door. It was wide open. Kinzie's heart almost dropped to her stomach. If Hylla gone anywhere, she would not have left the front door open. There was only two possibilities. The first was that someone had broken into the house. The second was that something had happened to Hylla.

As she slowly made her way closer to the front door, Kinzie's mind started to race. She remembered seeing the news that the Titans had once again broken out of Tartarus. What if they had found Hylla and hurt her? What if someone had actually broken into the house when Hylla was there? If that was true, where was Hylla's car?

Kinzie glanced inside the house. Only the light in the kitchen was on, and everything looked normal there. Kinzie slowly made her way further into the house, keeping an ear out for anything that was out of the ordinary. Something brushed her leg, and she barely kept from yelling in surprise. Kinzie looked down at Aurum.

The dog's fur was bristled, and his ears were pressed against his head. He made a whimpering noise and walked further into the house. Kinzie stared at the burn mark in Aurum's back. She grabbed a knife from the kitchen and slowly followed Aurum into the living room. Kinzie stared at the scene in front of her.

Argentum was laying next to someone. They wore a mask and had both hands pressed against their side. Kinzie took a single step forward. The person was too short to be Hylla, but the two dogs weren't attacking them. It wasn't Thalia either.

A soft groan escaped the person, and they slowly rolled onto their back. They placed on their hands to their face and slowly grabbed their mask. As they pulled it off, a small gasp escaped Kinzie. Reyna slowly looked at her and quickly tried to sit up. She cursed and collapsed back to the ground.

"Hey. Take it easy," Kinzie whispered. She hurried to Reyna's side and knelt by her. A million questions ran through her mind, but she only focused on one. How was Reyna alive? Kinzie had watched Kronos shoot Reyna in the head. She watched him kick her body over the bridge. How was Reyna alive and in front of her right now? "Take it slow. Are you hurt?"

"Hylla," Reyna began. Her eyes slowly moved around, and she tried to sit up. Kinzie gently grabbed her and helped her stand. She led Reyna towards the couch and sat her down. "They took her. I have to find her."

"You need to take a deep breath and calm down," Kinzie said. Reyna looked at her and placed one hand to her side. There seemed to be a nasty bruise near her temple. Kinzie hurried towards the freezer, put the knife down, and grabbed two packs of ice. She hurried back to Reyna's side and placed one to her temple. Reyna slowly placed the other one against her side. "Who took Hylla?"

"We were attacked by three women," Reyna said. She looked down. "They had some kind of whip that caused you to lose feeling in your limbs if you were hit by it. They said that the Olympian wanted Hylla. That means Zeus ordered for Hylla to be taken."

"Why would Zeus want Hylla? That doesn't make sense," Kinzie began. Reyna studied her for a few moments, and there was a suspicious look in her eyes. After a moment, Reyna sighed and looked down. "Reyna, what's wrong?"

"I know that the Olympians are threatening you and Hylla. The Titans told me that," Reyna said. Kinzie stared at Reyna in confusion. She blinked a few times and tried to process the words. The Titans told Reyna that the Olympians were threatening Hylla. A sick feeling settled in Kinzie's gut.

"Reyna, how did you survive getting shot in the head?" Kinzie asked. She gently adjusted the ice that was pressed against Reyna's temple. Her gaze focused on the scar on Reyna's head. It was impossible for her to quell her worry. She had a small, terrible feeling about what Reyna was going to tell her.

"After Thalia shot me in the head and left me for dead, Mnemosyne saved me," Reyna answered. Kinzie remained silent and tried to keep her face expressionless. Her worst suspicion was confirmed. The Titans had Reyna brainwashed. "I helped break them out of Tartarus, and they told me to come find you before the Olympians could do anything to you. I wanted to come sooner, but I got sidelined for a few days."

"The Titans saved you," Kinzie repeated. Reyna nodded. Kinzie knew that Mnemosyne had the power to manipulate memory, so she had no doubt that Reyna's memory had been manipulated. Reyna seemed to believe with all of her heart and soul that the Titans had saved her, and maybe, they had, after Kronos shot her in the head. The Titans had to be planning something, but what could it be?

Kinzie looked down and slowly thought her way through the situation. Reyna believed that Thalia shot her in the head and that the Titans rescued her. It was probably true that the Titans did rescue Reyna, but Kinzie knew what she had seen. Why would Kronos want to manipulate Reyna's memory though?

"How did you get sidelined?" Kinzie asked. Reyna slowly looked at her. She was clearly in pain and looked disoriented. "Actually, don't worry about answering. You need to lay down and rest. You can answer my questions later."

"No," Reyna said quickly, and her eyes narrowed. Kinzie was only concerned about Reyna, but something told her that Reyna did not see it that way. "I have to get going."

Kinzie wanted to argue with Reyna. Instead, she looked down and spoke, "Alright. I have to tell someone that Hylla is missing though."

"You can't," Reyna said quickly. She tried to stand. Kinzie grabbed her gently and helped her stand. Reyna studied Kinzie for a few moments. "There isn't anyone that we can trust, Kinzie. You need to come back to the Titan base with me."

"I need to stay here," Kinzie said. Her real thought that there was no way in hell she would go anywhere near the Titans. Reyna was like a caged animal though. "If the Olympians did take Hylla, they will be suspicious if they know that I left the house. How would I know that they were involved, without anyone telling me?"

"I can keep the Olympians off of your back," Kinzie continued. Reyna stared at her for a few moments. "If Zeus sent someone to capture Hylla, why would he do it now? Why would he wait all of this time? I think there is a little more to the story, but I can help you. We can figure this out, together."

"I know you're paranoid," Kinzie said. She was sure that she was being too blunt, but this had to be said. "You need to trust someone though, and I can help you. Hylla and you are like family to me. We have to trust each other."

"You're right," Reyna muttered. She slowly sat back on the couch, and her two dogs curled around her legs. She gently ran her hands through their fur. "I wanted to visit you and Hylla three days ago, but Kronos wanted to enhance my powers first. I didn't wake up until a few hours ago."

"Did it work?" Kinzie asked quietly. Reyna nodded but didn't elaborate. Kinzie looked down and tried to think. She knew that Reyna was able to take someone's powers to use for a limited amount of time, so what would enhanced powers do? "How?"

"Don't worry about it, Kinzie. I have it handled. Just promised me that you won't tell the Olympians that you know Hylla is missing. I need time to figure this out," Reyna said. She looked into Kinzie's eyes.

"I won't tell anyone," Kinzie promised after a moment. She gently grabbed Reyna's arm. "I'm here for you. I promise. Before you go anyway, put the ice back on for a few more minutes to get the swelling down."

"Yes mom," Reyna muttered. Kinzie rolled her eyes and pressed the ice to Reyna's temple. Reyna gently pressed her hand to the ice and then placed ice to her side. Kinzie sat down and looked at her phone. She had no messages from Hylla, but there was a few notifications from her news app. As Kinzie read the words, her heart froze.

"Reyna, do you remember Otrera?" Kinzie asked. Reyna looked at her and shook her head. "She is a reporter, and apparently, she made a report earlier today saying you were alive."

Reyna's eyes shot up, and Kinzie showed her the phone. Reyna studied the phone and nodded slightly. She focused on the ground. Kinzie spoke, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to have a chat with this reporter," Reyna said. She placed the ice on the couch and slowly stood. Reyna petted her two dogs. "You two keep Kinzie safe. I'll be back. I promise."

"Stay safe," Kinzie began. Reyna looked at her and nodded. Then, she suddenly hugged Kinzie tightly. Kinzie hugged Reyna back.

"I will get Hylla back," Reyna promised. She pulled away from Kinzie and met her eyes. "I promise."

"Be safe," Kinzie said. Reyna nodded and turned away. She left the house without another word. Kinzie sat down and took a shaky breath. Reyna was alive, and she was working with the Titans. Hylla was missing, and Reyna seemed to think that Zeus had ordered for her to be captured. Kinzie looked down at her phone and tried to think. She had made a promise, but if it meant finding Hylla and the truth, how quickly would she break it?
