A/N- Hey! Sorry that this is so so so late! I've had a lot going on in my life with Christmas coming up and everything! I just want to say that the next update will be on New years eve!

Nico POV

My first thought when I woke up was 'Will!'. He was in Tar- the pit, he was in the pit. And most likely as bait for me. That thought just made my mood worse.

I opened my eyes and looked around me, I seemed to be in the infirmary, not at camp, but Hogwarts.

And Will wasn't here.

I sat up, and realized that I wasn't alone, Percy and Annabeth were sitting on one of the beds, hugging each other, tears were streaming down Annabeth's face. She must have had a nightmare.

Then I recalled on my nightmare I'd had when I passed out.

It had been terrible, one of the worst I'd had yet.

It was only then that I noticed the tears running down my face, I hadn't even realized I was crying.

It was strange, ever since we had arrived at Hogwarts, I either had no nightmares, or the worst ones. Ones that made me cry, scream. It must have been the same for Percy and Annabeth.

"Nico!" I heard someone call from behind me, I turned around to see Hazel running up to me, crushing me in a hug before I could do a thing.

"Hey Hazel." I said, my voice cracked and throat stinging.

"Nico!" She said again, "I thought you were in a death-trance or something!"
"Why?" I could tell she was on the verge of tears.

"Well, after Hermione said that word, you-you sort of just- well, your eyes went all weird, and you turned really pale, and you started stumbling, and then-then you fell into the fire!"
"How am I not burnt then?"
"I caught you, and then your eyes were completely black, and it was the same with Percy and Annabeth," I turned to look at said couple, and found that they were fast asleep, hugging each other tightly, "Their eyes went black, and they fainted, and then Jay's eyes went all weird, they turned completely blue, and he had this aura around him, and then he was claimed!"
"Who's his mum?"
"Hecate."
I looked at her for a moment, before trying to stand up, only to find that made my head to dizzy to even think.

"Nico!" Hazel cried, catching me as I fell.
The last thing I saw before my vision once again faded to black were Hazels blue eyes looking down at me- wait, doesn't she have golden eyes?..

Will POV

I still had no idea where the Hades I was, or how to escape. But I did know I didn't want to be anywhere that Phoenix had been. That, that thing would pay for what he had done to- no, no thinking about her, never again.

I breathed out, before curling up into a ball and trying to sleep, every-time I did, I got nightmares, nightmares of places I had never been to, and never wanted to go. Places like Tartarus. Those were the worst, I always had to see Nico suffering in those, and I could never help him.

"Solace!" I heard a shout, and shot up with a start, only to see none other than Phoenix Edge grinning maliciously at me.

"What do you want Edge?"
"Oh, so we're back to last names now?" He faked a frown

"You're the one who started it. What do you want anyway?"
"Why would you assume I want something?"
"You have me locked up in a prison cell, who-knows where, I'm bait, and you hate me."
"Good enough reasons." He smirked at me, "My master wants to see you, he has a game for you to play."

I stared at him in shock, before standing up and saying, "Bring me to him then."

"My my, aren't we brave? What happened to the shy, innocent Will Solace that I used to love?"
"He died, along with my feeling for you, so stop flirting with me and take me to your 'master' already."
Phoenix grinned, "Follow me oh lord Solace." He bowed mockingly, before grabbing my arm and dragging me along.

Time meet the 'master'.

Jay POV

I still couldn't believe it, I had been claimed, Will was in Tartarus, Nico, Percy and Annabeth were still knocked out, the golden trio knew about us, Arya was a daughter of Apollo, so much had happened in the past few days, and it wasn't even Christmas yet!

Gods he was tired.

He had been working with Reyna, Leo and Hermione, trying to think of a plan to get Will out of Tartarus, but so far, nothing.

It seemed like a hopeless task, yet they stuck at it, working away into the nights, getting barely any sleep, and Hermione and me didn't even know Will very well! For me it was more for Nico, though I still couldn't believe he hadn't told us about dating Will! I mean, I thought we were friends!
Nico, Percy and Annabeth had been out for 3 days now, waking up occasionally from their nightmares, Percy and Annabeth would hug whilst they cried, where as Nico just sat there, curled up in a ball, crying. It was terrible, watching but not knowing how to help.

Madam Pomfrey couldn't help, it was obvious that what they needed was a demigod child of Apollo, preferably Will, but Arya had hidden herself away from the rest of us, trying to hide for a reason he couldn't understand.

So he was going to find her, and bring her out of hiding.

Maybe she was ill?

Depressed?

Hurt?!
Shit! What if she was hurt! None of us had seen her since the room of requirement after all...

Now it was just even more important to find her.

He checked his watch, 9pm, they had decided to take a break from the planning meeting until the three survivors of Tartarus had woken up. Reyna had told me what she knew of Tartarus, and I never wanted to go there. We needed to get Will out as soon as possible.

I grabbed my wand from my bed-side table, my cloak from the end of my bed, and the ambrosia that Hazel had given me yesterday.

Then I left my dorm, walking down the stairs, saying hi to Katie, Reyna, Leo and Piper as I left Slytherin.

I walked quickly, arriving at the Gryffindor common room just after 9.

"Jay? Is that you?" I heard Hermione whisper as I gave the password to the portrait.

"Yeah, are Harry and Ron there too?"
"Yeah, come in." I stepped up through the portrait and took in the scene in front of my eyes.

Wow.

Harry was lying upside down on the back of the sofa, while Ron was trying to through sweets in his mouth, and Fred and George were trying to explode the sweets, and Thalia was trying to explode the twins.

Wow.

"OK, cool." I said, trying not to laugh.

"They're mental, I swear they're three years old." Hermione sighed, before sitting down on a different sofa and inviting me to sit.

I sat down on a chair next to her, and she passed me the map and cloak.

Harry had told me about these a few days ago, and now I would use them to find Arya.

"Still no sign of her?" The worry was evident in my voice.
"None." She too sounded worried.

I looked down at the map, before taking my wand out of my pocket and muttering, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good."

I opened the map and immediately saw her name, it was moving by the womping willow, and, gone.

"Where is she?" Hermione asked hopefully.

"The shrieking shack." I looked up at her.

"Crap"

A/N- Hey! I can't believe I finally finished this chapter! So so so sorry about the long wait, as I said at the beginning, I've had a lot going on in my life with Christmas and all... The next update will be either on New years or before. Hope you like this chapter! Thanks for all the support and reviews!
