Hylla parked her car and stared at the garage in front of her. She had made it to city hall, only to find no one there. The door to the room that Reyna and Thalia had been in was open, and the room was empty. Hylla had found the security feed and watched in horror as the two were taken.

Hylla had tried to go through the cameras of the nearby streets, but none of it showed her what kind of car the two had been stuffed in or where it went. Then, she received a text on her phone. It was from Thalia and had an address in it. Hylla rushed there without caring for anything else. All that mattered was her baby sister.

Hylla got out of the car and slowly walked towards the garage. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. Hylla took a step back and let out a shaky breath. Then, she slammed her shoulder into the door. It fell open, and she stumbled into the garage.

The first thing Hylla did was dive into cover. She tried to focus on her surroundings, but the only thing she heard was crying. Hylla slowly peeked out and stared. Bianca was sitting next to her father and crying over his corpse. Bianca looked unharmed, but feral sobs wracked her body.

Thalia was sitting next to Bianca. Her face was pale and almost gray. Her pant leg was covered in blood, and her eyes drifted open and close. Thalia looked at Hylla and then focused back on Bianca. One of her hands was resting on Bianca's shoulder. There was one body that looked like it belonged to Charon.

Hylla didn't care about them though. She vaulted over the cover and ran right to Reyna's side. Reyna was laying on her stomach. Her face rested on the ground, and there was a small pool of blood beneath her head. Hylla increased her pace.

This could not be happening again. Hylla was not going to lose Reyna. Not again. She couldn't, and she wouldn't. Hylla slid next to her sister. If Reyna was dead, Hylla would not be able to live another minute. She could not go through it again. Hylla placed a hand to Reyna's pulse, and a cry left her.

"Oh god, Reyna. Why do you have to scare me so much?" Hylla whispered. She closed her eyes and focused on Reyna's steady pulse. "Can you hear me?"

Reyna's eyes flickered open. She stared at Hylla for a few moments and then closed her eyes. Hylla spoke in a whisper, "Reyna, stay awake. Okay. Stay awake. Does your head hurt?"

"Fine," Reyna slurred. She tried to move, but her face paled. Hylla gently placed a hand to her back. "Fine."

"You're not fine," Hylla whispered. She gently tried to help Reyna sit up. Reyna's right arm grabbed onto Hylla's shirt, and she blinked rapidly. A bloody bandage was wrapped around her forearm "What's wrong?"

Reyna placed her other hand to the ground like she was trying to steady herself. Her eyes were glassy and unfocused. Hylla cursed and gently laid Reyna back on the ground. She spoke, "You just rest, okay. Just rest. I'm going to get help."

The grip fell away from Hylla's shirt. Reyna slowly placed both hands to her head and groaned in pain. Hylla stood and moved to Thalia's side. She spoke, "Reyna needs a hospital. You do too."

"No. We can't call an ambulance," Thalia muttered. "The press will find out."

"I don't care," Hylla snapped. She took an angry breath. "Reyna's in bad shape, and you are just a few drops of blood from bleeding out. Even if they see the corpses, we'll lie. We'll spin the story around."

"What happened at the meet?" Thalia slowly asked. She tried to grab Bianca, but the girl didn't let go of her father's corpse.

"I don't know," Hylla answered. "When you two didn't answer your earpieces, I rushed to find you. When I got the text, I came right over."

Thalia nodded and closed her eyes. Hylla heard a retching sound and turned her head. She stared as Reyna vomited up what little food she had eaten over the last few days. Hylla cursed and moved back to Reyna's side.

"Sorry for this," Hylla said. She pulled Reyna to her feet. Reyna stumbled and collapsed against her. Hylla carried Reyna towards the other two and sat with her. She cradled her sister's head. There was a nasty gash near her temple that seemed to be the source of the pool of blood. "We're going to get you to a hospital."

"Bianca needs time to grieve," Thalia began. Hylla looked at her and nodded. She still grabbed her phone. "They'll take his body away!"

"The living are more important right now," Hylla snapped. She opened her phone with one hand and cradled Reyna's head with the other. One of Reyna's hands gripped her shirt tightly. Reyna's other hand rested on her jaw. Hylla leaned in close. "Just stay awake. I know it's bad. You just need to stay awake."

Reyna didn't answer. She just stared ahead with those glazed over eyes. Hylla looked and kissed Reyna's cheek gently. She spoke, "Just stay with me. I love you so much, Reyna. Just stay awake for me. We're going to get you to a hospital soon."

"You should have something to drink," a voice said. Hylla's eyes snapped open, and she slowly looked up at Kinzie. A cup of coffee was handed to her. Hylla slowly took the cup and rubbed her eyes. "Reyna's in her room. The doctor wants to speak to you."

Hylla slowly took a sip of her coffee and nodded. She stood and followed Kinzie. After making it to the hospital, the first thing Hylla did was call Kinzie. She had almost cried upon hearing Kinzie's voice. After telling her everything that happened, Kinzie rushed to the hospital.

When Hylla saw Kinzie, she collapsed into her arms crying. It felt so good to see her once again. Hylla glanced behind her. Bianca was sitting in a chair next to Hazel. Neither were talking. Frank and Leo sat near them.

Jason was in surgery. Apparently, Letus had him in a death grip and was killing his organs. Annabeth then slammed a car into Letus, just in time to keep Jason from having his organs completely and utterly destroyed. There was still organ damage though. Jason was going to need either another freak with healing powers to step into the light or a few organ transplants if he was going to make it. Luckily for him, they had both.

The three remaining Olympians stood around the lobby. Blood covered Venus from head to toe, and she looked exhausted. Vulcan sat near her and stared at the blood on his cane. Minerva paced around and seemed to be lost in though.

Hylla wasn't sure what exactly had happened at the meeting. She just knew that the three old ladies with canes had been killed. Vulcan eviscerated Theia with the shotgun in his cane, Venus had beaten all kinds of information out of Oceanus. The most important thing was the name of the healer that had helped bring Reyna back to life. They were going to get that healer to save Jason.

Annabeth was sitting in a chair next to Percy. Near them was Piper, who just stared at her mother. Hylla watched them for a few moments and then followed behind Kinzie once again. A sigh left her. Pluto's friends had given their lives for Pluto to escape with his daughter, only for his daughter to kill him. In the end, Pluto failed. He didn't kill anyone else at the meeting place and purge Olympian Plains of its so called tyrants, but the damage had been done. Sometimes, being the survivor was worse than dying.

There was only one person Hylla cared about though. They made it to the doctor. Hylla spoke, "How's my sister?"

"She's going to need surgery for her jaw, but with how severe her concussion is, we don't want to put her under anesthesia just yet. Her arm was stitched up, but we still haven't figured if she needs surgery or not" the doctor answered. He eyed Hylla warily. Hylla lifted her chin. "There will be some brain damage as well."

"Define brain damage," Hylla said quietly. She swallowed painfully.

"I'm not sure the extent yet, but the frontal lobe was damaged," the doctor answered. "It could vary from her memory to her emotions."

"Is there anything we can do?" Hylla asked. She felt Kinzie grab her arm tightly.

"It's just a matter of rest and seeing what happens. These matters vary from patient to patient. There is a small chance she may recover fully," the doctor explained.

"Can I see her?" Hylla asked. The doctor nodded and led her down the hall. Hylla felt sick to her stomach. She was grateful that Reyna was alive, but this was still Hylla's fault. Why did she drag Reyna into this world of heroes and villains?

That was something Hylla would never forgive herself for. She walked into Reyna's room and studied her. Reyna was sitting back against the bed and staring ahead. Upon seeing Hylla, a small smile came to her face.

"Hey," Hylla said softly. She walked towards Reyna and sat by her. "I know you're not suppose to talk or move your head. Just grab my hand if you're okay."

Reyna gently grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. Kinzie sat by them and spoke, "I've been taking care of your dogs. They miss you."

Reyna's smile widened, and she sighed. Her gaze focused on the door, and her question was clear. Hylla answered. "I think Thalia's still in surgery, but it looks like she'll be fine. You need to just rest and make a full recovery."

"I missed you so much," Hylla continued. She sat by Reyna and kissed her cheek gently. "I am not letting you go again, okay?"

Reyna rested her head on Hylla's chest and closed her eyes. She relaxed against her. Kinzie spoke," We'll be there together."

"Together," Reyna whispered in a soft voice. She barely moved her jaw, but Hylla still gave her a look. Reyna made a laughing noise and then relaxed. Hylla cradled her sister. It didn't matter if the world ended then and there. Hylla was with her little sister, and that was all that mattered. "Love you."

"I love you too," Hylla said. She looked down. "If you want to stay here, we can. I was just scared before. Scared of what would happen if we stayed. Now, I just want to be with you."

Reyna didn't answer. She just stared ahead and sighed. Kinzie rubbed Reyna's back and spoke, "Don't forget about me."

"We won't," Hylla promised. She smiled. "You two are my family, and no matter what happens, we can get through it together."
