Chapter Sixteen

Tristan

“Where the fuck is she?” The rage in my voice shook the house. I searched everywhere for her in this palace and she was nowhere to be found. One minute things were going great in her dream, and then I watched as she was ripped out of my life by some powerful force. Her body, that was lying next to mine, was gone.

I was barely keeping myself under control, trying to figure out what happened. I sensed power, but it was being masked by something else. Someone was here, and left with her. My roar of rage brought everyone out from their rooms and asking me what happened. I told them through clenched teeth, and was ten seconds away from leveling the home of the gods and looking for her myself.

Then a mist started to descend from all the openings in my home.

“What the fuck?” I looked at everyone and saw the look of confusion in their eyes. Something was happening right now. Something not good.

“Grab something to cover your nose and mouth!” Orion spoke up and they all ran to grab whatever they could. Which was mostly dish towels.

“What is it?” Lacey’s voice went up an octave. I moved my hand through the mist and felt a little sting but nothing that could harm me permanently. I wish I knew what was happening right now, with long strides I moved to the window and opened it. But then more mist just came in.

It filled my lungs, and I tasted a hint of Raspberry Leaf and Arsenic.

“We’re going to have to wait it out.” Leander said as he tried to use his coin to escape, but couldn’t. That was strange. I attempted to shift out of the house but couldn’t. I was grounded until the mist vanished.

“Fuck!” I cursed. We were stuck in this house, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before the arsenic would start to get to the demigods. They were in for a long day of feeling like shit. And I still didn’t know where Thalia was. I was torn between relief and anger that she wasn’t here with me now—while she wasn’t here being poisoned, she could be anywhere.

The only true solace in this moment was that I could tell she was still living; I could still feel her soul. Healthy, but stressed, and alive.

It was maybe another thirty minutes of exposure to the mist before one of the demigods started having stomach cramps, then puking. Then another joined them. I sat on the couch,
