2 days after last chapter--
Thalia's POV~
I was taking first watch when Y/N stumbled up the stairs and ran over to me. I steadied her before she fell and asked "What's wrong?" She panted and said "Annabeth said to find you and tell you something." I nod sending a clear message of go on.

"Annabeth found out where the goddess is located and...well it's isn't pretty," Y/N started, "Malcolm and I have to go..go to the Tartarus." I look at her to see if she is joking but she says "I'm not joking. Percy was in tears when Annabeth told me."

"No. You can't, I won't let you. I'm not losing you." Y/N bites her lip and says sadly, "Just tell Valdez to go to the Rome. That's the nearest one way ticket to hell." I crush Y/N into a hug and say, "Just don't die." She nods, "I have to go get ready," She turns away from me and continues, "Also tell Percy I love him and when me and Malcolm make it to the Tartarus, don't, don't tell him." I couldn't see her face but I saw a teardrop fall. She didn't want me to see her cry. She walked down the stairs and I went to tell Leo to go to Rome.

Malcolm's POV~
I was packing three bags of ambrosia and bottles of nectar for the...trip me and Y/N have to take. I was still pretty nervous because...Hades we're going to the Tartarus!! Y/N walked in and said "Hey Malcolm." I quickly said hello and double, and triple check that we have enough supplies. I thought out loud, "Okay, so I have three bags of ambrosia and bottles of nectar. I also have extra daggers and weapons." I looked around and said "Should I bring first aid stuff too. Yeah yeah, that would be smart." I didn't hear Y/N calling my name until she yelled "Malcolm!" I turned around and said "What?" She laughed and I felt my cheeks heat up. I have a crush on this certain daughter of Poseidon. I smiled meekly and said "Uhh...sorry. I'm just nervous." She smiled softly, "I know. I am too. I'm really frightened that I may not be the best for this mission." I forget about my crush on her and embrace her.

"Shush, your the most outstanding person to lead is quest, ever. Your brother would be proud." I claim and she looks up and asks "Really?"

"Come hell or the Tartarus." Y/N beams, "You know Malcolm, you are really giving me a chase here." I roll my eyes.

"For what?" I question and she grins like a madman, "To see if you like me. Cause right now, you acting like you do." I bite my lip and blush red and Y/N kisses my cheek lightly, "You're so cute sometimes." Then she walked out. I swear if the Tartarus doesn't kill me, she will.

Y/N's POV~
I grabbed my sword and walked to tell Hazel the news. I walk to her room and stop to knock when I hear voices.

"Haze, you have to somehow do something to make the ship now reach Rome. If Y/N and Malcolm make it to Rome, two people are going to die." I familiar voice says softly. I hear Hazel sigh and say "I can't. This is her first quest and I know it's dangerous but she will make it. The prophecy says a mother will kill someone-" The voice cut her off and said "It also said that they have to find the down fall to life. Hazel, please do something." I knock quietly on the door and Hazel says "Percy, cut the Iris-message now." My eyes widen and think 'Percy wants to sabotage my quest, why'. The door opened and Hazel said, "Y/N, what brings you here?"

"May I come in?" I ask. She nods and I walk in and sit on her bed. She sits down across from me and I say "Hazel why is my brother trying to sabotage my quest to the Tartarus?" She looks shocked then quickly lies "What? Percy's trying to sabotage your quest?!" I sigh and say "Hazel, we need to work on your lying skills." She frowns but nods, "I know. Leo and Percy are trying to help me." I smile and say "I heard the whole conversation. Why, Hazel why?"

"Percy, doesn't want you to go down to that....place. He's trying to protect you." I sigh and say "Please don't sabotage the trip, Haze. I have to do this." Then I get up and say, "Please. While I'm down there, don't tell Percy." I walk out and I hear Hazel sniffle a sob. I feel terrible but I go to my room and fall asleep.

Hey my demigod friends! Sorry this chapter was short, but I have so much homework because of 4 quarter and recent monster attackies. I hope you all are are okay with this. Most updates will be during the week. Schools got my mind going in overtime, all the time. Also recently, my step-sisters have been not the best. So forgive me. I will probably be in trouble so also I'm sorry. I gotta go, there is a empousi eyeing me through my window.

Bye~Bye!
