I quickly grabbed Luke's hand before travelling us back to camp.

"So what's our plan?" Luke asked as we ran up from the beach.

"What plan?"

Bianca, where are you?

Arena. Her voice was weak. So either she's hurt. Or just shaken up.

Let me murder him Lee!!

No! Zoë don't!

I've got her!

"Scratch that. Our plan is to hurry up so Zoë doesn't kill everybody."

"Good plan."

We quickly made it to the arena. Where I could see Dakota yelling at an injured, crying Bianca.

"Dam. I'm gonna kill him." I mumbled.

"Save some fun for the rest of us." Luke mumbled in my ear.

"I'll give you a ten percent chance of that happening."

"I'll take it."

I summoned a little bit of water...and subsequently blasted it at Dakota.

Who was knocked back against a wall.

"Bianca you okay?" I rushed to her side.

She nodded, tears still streaming down her face, and tried to stand.

The key word being tried.

She immediately fell back down, but thankfully I managed to catch her.

"What happened?"

"Pretty sure I have an injured leg. Maybe a hairline fracture or something. It just hurts really bad." Her voice shook, badly. I've never heard it this bad before.

"What did he do?" I growled.

Bianca reached her hand out and touched my forehead.

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

I skimmed through her recent memories.

And yep. Murder is a very viable option.

"Thanks Bianca. Now..." I stood and glared at my partial brother.

His buddies were helping him up, with Dakota obviously in pain.

Good.

"Alpha. Can you handle this?" I said, glancing back at my boyfriend.

He smiled and cracked his knuckles.

"How much can I hurt him?"

I sighed. I want to murder him but...

"Don't kill him. I'll have to talk to the gods and Chaos before we could even do that."

Sighing Luke shook his head and walked over, punched the two goons and dragged Dakota away.

Completely ignoring the goons attempts at fighting him.

"I'm going to pick you up okay Bianca?"

She sniffed and nodded.

"On three. One.. two...three." I lifted her bridal style and started towards our cabin.

Groaning, she rested her head on my shoulder, as I started walking.

Schist.

"Sorry Bianca."

"It's okay..."

I sighed. "Do you want me to make you fall asleep?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Okay... This might hurt." I shifted her, causing her to yelp. Then I opened the door to the cabin.

As I walked in I yelled over my shoulder. "Thanks for the help!"

"Well, I'm still restraining Zoë...so unless you want her to get charged with murder..." Lee said.

I sat my cousin on the couch gently. She whimpered.

"Shh. It's okay shh." I brushed hair out of her face.

"I swear he is gonna die!" Zoë struggled against Lee's grip.

And she broke free.

Lunging for the door, she was tackled to the floor.

"Lee! He hurt her! Nobody hurts anybody on this team!" Zoë cried.

I sighed and lightly patted Bianca's face. "You're okay right?"

She nodded. "I'm good."

I know that's a lie. From what she showed me...

I know how she feels.

"Zoë...calm down. Luke is handling it." Sighing, I looked at the former Huntress. "Come here."

Lee hesitantly let her go, and Zoë walked over and knelt at the edge of the couch.

"Hey, Luke's being the crap out of-what happened?" Ethan walked in, followed by Micheal.

"I'll give you two guesses."

"Dakota?"

"Ding ding ding." I moved away from Bianca. "Michael can you try to heal her? Some of it is physical but...I might have to get my dad down here..."

He nodded and moved over to the daughter of Hades.

Dad?

Hey Percy. What's the matter?

Can you come here please? Bianca...she...

I'll be right there.

A small noise and Dad appeared.

"What happened?" He questioned, wings spread protectively.

Then he noticed the tears.

"Bianca...come here honey." He strode over to her and knelt, opening his arms.

Despite the fact her leg was still being worked on she sat up and leaned into Dad's arms, sobbing.

"There we go. Shh. You're safe. We're here. Nobody's going to hurt you."

Can we use your room?

Sure. Should we tell Hades?

Dad mentally sighed. I don't know. What happened anyway?

I was silent. And he could guess what that meant. He pulled an arm away from Bianca and allowed me to enter the hug.

"Okay, I'm going to take us to Percy's room. Are you fine with that?"

Bianca nodded.

Dad warped us and we appeared on my bed.

"You're both safe. They can't hurt you...I won't let it happen again I swear." A tear fell down his face.

I nuzzled into his chest, one hand clutching his shirt, the other holding Bianca's hand.

"Percy...you-" She looked over at me and I cut her off by nodding.

"Don't tell anyone 'kay?" I mumbled.

She squeezed my hand.

Dad pulled our trembling frames closer.

My vision was fading to black, but Dad gently shook me. "No, baby, we don't want that."

And thankfully I snapped out of it.

There was a slamming noise from the main room.

Causing us to both jump.

Dad's soothing motions slowed for a second before resuming. "It's just Luke. Percy do you-"

I nodded.

"Okay..."

The door opened and Luke stepped in. "Percy..."

Pulling away from Dad I practically threw myself at the son of Hermes.

"Sh. I've got you." He sat on my bed, me on his lap.

"How badly did you hurt him?" Dad questioned.

"Not as bad as I probably should have."

Sighing softly, Dad used his wings to pull Luke towards him.

"We can't kill him. He's a son of Poseidon. And we need everyone we can get."

U-Uncle Hades?

What do you want Perseus?

C-Can you come to the Chaos cabin? My room?

Okay...

He's so confused.

I looked towards the corner of my room as the shadows thickened before revealing the Lord of the Dead.

His eyes widened. "Bianca?"

He rushed over and Dad handed her off to him.

"What's the matter Princess?" Hades asked softly.

Man what's with them and nicknames?

Bianca didn't respond verbally, instead choosing to melt into her father's form.

"Bianca, answer me."

"Don't- Don't press her." I said softly.

"Why not?"

"Just trust me. Don't press her on this. Please."

He hesitated but nodded. "I'm going to take you to your room Bianca. That okay with you?"

Not receiving an answer he sighed before shadowtraveling.

"Just this once, will I leave you two alone like this. Cause I need to go calm down Zoë." Dad said, then he got up and walked out.

Luke laid up on my bed and pulled me against him, spooning me.

Despite all the emotions, Luke made me feel safe.

He's my safe place, as stupid and cliché as it sounds.

But it's true.

Slowly, as he mumbled sweet nothings, I fell asleep.

Honestly had no idea where I was going with this

But I think it turned out well

And if you don't know what spooning is, it's where one person lays with their back against the others front.

Literally like a smaller spoon and a bigger spoon.

So uh...

Blizzard bags...those are NOT fun.

So uh...see yah
