Will's POV

I had absolutely nothing to do. I know I should've been thinking of a way out, but I had given up on that already. I had total faith this would play through, and I would be fine.

After Niobe brought me my dinner, I went to sleep.

I was in a totally dark void of endlessness. I looked around to no avail.

Then Nico appeared.

"Nico?" I asked.

"Will." He said, relieved. "What happened to you? Where are you?"

"Well, funny story. Niobe kidnapped me, and is planning on doing something soon. I don't know what and when, but I'm fine for the time being." I said. He got a murderous look.

"We're coming to get you. Don't tell me not to." He said.

"I don't think anyone will try and stop you, Nico." I said.

In the time we were talking, we had moving nearer to each other, now we were face-to-face.

I pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too. Hey." I said, lifting his chin to look at me. "We'll see each other soon enough." With that I kissed him. We broke apart, looked into each other's eyes, and woke up.

Niobe was sitting in a chair near me.

"Oh, how touching. You know you mumble in your sleep right?" She asked.

"I'm aware." I said, coldly. We stared at each other for a minute. Then she narrowed her eyes.

"I have a job for you. Your sister did something to my kids, figure it out. You have three days with them." She said.

We stood up, and I followed her into a hallway. A guard was on either side of me. Okay, then.

We walked until we reached a door that had a lot of different kid-friendly stuff on it. Niobe pushed the door open, and walked in.

"Kids." She said. "This is Idalia's brother. I expect you to treat him with respect." Then she left, slamming the door, causing me to wince.

"So." I said, turning to the kids. "Why don't we start with names and ages?"

Nico's POV

We packed for our trip and hung out at the Big House until sunrise. No one could sleep.

Even Percy, Annabeth, and Piper joined us.

I was debating telling them about my dream.

"Hey guys." Everyone looked at me, except Idalia. She just kept her eyes locked on the ground. "I saw Will in a dream." This made Idalia's head snap up so it looked like she was looking at me.

"What happened? Is he okay?" She asked.

"He said he was fine. Niobe had kidnapped him, but she wasn't doing anything at the moment. Although, he said that she was going to do something to him, just not yet. He said not to worry." I explained.

"Yeah, just you know, not worry about my brother when he's been kidnapped by the lady who kidnapped me, and she's going to do something to him, just not yet, AND I should just not worry about the dream I had that he died in." Idalia responded, frustrated. Then she got up and walked outside onto the porch.

"I'll go." I said, before Amara. I got up, walked outside, and sat down next to Idalia.

"Sorry." She muttered.

"No need. I know it's hard, but we can do it together. Hey, at least he's okay for now." I said. Mistake.

"Yeah. For now. What if, at his moment, Niobe's hurting him?" She asked.

"Not possible. I can look at people's vitals. Will's perfectly fine." I said. She started crying again.

I know I'm bad at comforting, but give me points for trying here.

I scooted over to her, and wrapped my arms around her. I think that was all she needed at the moment. We sat there for about five minutes.

"Thanks, Nico." Idalia said, after moving away from me. "Just promise me that you'll tell me immediately if Will's vitals do something weird." I looked at her.

"Okay, I promise." I replied.

"Just don't break it now." She said, lightly punching my arm. "Because if you do, well, Leo can tell you what I'll do." We got up and went back into the Big House.

"Hey, Leo. What happens if you break a promise you made to Idalia?" I asked. He looked at me, a smile widening on his face.

"You made a promise to her?" He asked. "If you break it, you're dead, and that was before she could shoot a bow and arrows. Yeah, big mistake."

"Okay. I'll remember that." I said.

"So." Percy said. We sat there in silence.

"It's almost sunrise." Idalia said. I was about to ask how she knew, but she responded. "My dad is Apollo, I can tell when the sun is rising and setting."

We got up, got our bags, and left to the lawn. Apollo was waiting in his chariot. The girls shared hugs, and Percy and Leo, a handshake.

Idalia walked up to the chariot and got in like nothing was wrong. She had gotten really good at imagining where things were, and acting from there. It was impressive.

"Are you guys coming?" She yelled at us. Amara got in by her, Leo called shotgun, and I sat on the other side of Idalia.

"Buckle up." Apollo said. Great. I was going to have so much fun. We took off, and I found that it wasn't actually that bad.

Idalia and Amara fell asleep on each other, so I decided I would too. I laid my head on the window, and closed my eyes. After several minutes, I was asleep.

Sorry for the kind of short chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. Please review. If you want me to change the intro/outro, I will. I'm getting a little bored of doing this, but it's just easy. If you want me to put in extra work to figure something else out, I will.

Peace out.
