A SLOW, ROCKING motion woke me. I sat up, stared into a dark room, rested but confused. I squinted, noting the shadows and spotting couches, tables, a mini fridge and makeshift bar, coolers and bottled water, and… diving gear?

“It was the only thing I could think of.”

I jolted a bit when I heard Thea’s voice so close to me. I turned on the couch, finding her sitting next to me. Her hair had tumbled from its not and her shoulders hunched forward. She looked exhausted.

“Where are we?”

“One of my boats near the dock. We’re back in Santa Monica. Away from the Olympians for now. I warded the boat, but… I don’t think it will hide us for long. My magic is still adapting to the Shift.”

My mind, fogged by the sleep spell, struggled to unwind.

“Is Derek here?”

Thea shook her head. “He… he was fighting the Olympians. Buying us time.”

I leaned forward and pressed my head into my palms. Of course, he was. Of course. I wanted to get away. But I also wanted to go with him. He wouldn’t have left me. Something would have stopped him. I knew that, and his safety was all I cared about.

But seeing him against after so long, I felt just how keenly I missed him. It had only been a few months, but I’d never been apart from him. It was a strange feeling, as if my heart had been loosened from its strings and didn’t quite fit in my chest anymore. I wasn’t sure I liked it. After being so close to someone for so long, needing them because they raised you and kept you safe, literally and figuratively fought your monsters when you couldn’t… it was hard to get away from that mindset.

In any other circumstance, I should have welcomed that freedom.

But this wasn’t any circumstance. Gods wanted my brother dead. Furies were sent to kill him. He might have murdered two gods. I didn’t know how to help him. Didn’t know what to do in the face of all this.

I wanted to be at his side again. Not just because he was my brother, but because I had control of my actions around him. I knew what I needed to do.

Now… I didn’t. Or maybe I did, and every choice just felt wrong.

Fabric rustled, and Thea shifted to sit on the couch next to me, breaking my troubled thoughts. Her leg and shoulder pressed against mine. I wanted to lean my head against her shoulder and pillow my face against her hair. Lose myself in the exciting feeling of being so close to a girl I cared so deeply for.

But this was the wrong time for that. For now, I was just damn glad to have a friend.

“I stayed back just long enough to see Athena and Persephone arrive,” Thea told me. “They’ll keep Derek safe.”

I nodded with relief, then paused. “Where are Mason and Corey?”

Thea shook her head. “I’ve tried to reach them, but they aren’t answering.”

“We need to find them.
