The Two That Went Missing

I walked down the tunnel, at first the walls were bare, but then they changed into the inside of the very place that I was stuck with Bianca for years, The Lotus Hotel. Shivers ran up and down my body. I shook my head as memories started to come back.
I forged through the tunnel, pushing all thoughts of my past out of my mind. Including Bianca and Hazel, I had to focus on getting out of this tunnel and then the things ahead. After a couple more yards, I came to a room. A room, like the tunnel, started out bare, but soon changed and not for the better.
The walls were divided into tunnels, each displaying a scene on the door, one showed my mother dying, her being struck with lightning in a fancy hotel, while Bianca and I were protected by a big black wall, by our father,
the next showed Bianca dieing in the ‘land without rain'
The one after that showed Hazel dieing, everyone I knew crowding around her, and finally passing away,
On the next door showed my time in the labyrinth, the time in the underworld when Percy said he didn't trust me and my confession with Cupid.
I swallowed, violently started shaking, I couldn't move, I just looked at each door, each scene repeating over and over again. So many horrible memories, I tried to suppress for so many years, played in front of me, like movies. I broke down, tears streamed down my face, things that were my fault, things that all connected back to me and hurt me the most.
A shadow opened up in the ground, my father climbed out, he was wearing a long black robe, that showed nothing, beside his face.
“Nico” he said in a raspy voice, I backed up against the wall now, this was too much to comprehend.
“I am going to give you one chance” He said, staring at me with cold eyes,
“You can pick one door and go back to that time and stop it from happening” I caught my breath, I can save Hazel, Bianca and my mom! Stop those situations with Percy or Cupid.
“Choose wisely” Hades said, I gulped, I can change everything, grow up not hating myself! But which door... Hades looked at me impatiently, I bite my lip. I know what door. I can change everything if I save my mom, we wouldn’t have to deal with Percy and all the quest, everyone dieing! I went to walk forward and stopped,
“Am I going to remember everything that happened?” Hades smiled,
“If you want too” I nodded, I could get Hazel out of the underworld, warn everyone years ahead about Gaia, come back and get Pandora’s jar. I walked toward the door with my mother dying, Hades put his arm around me,
“Wise choice” we slowly walked to the door, then Hades pulled it open, to a black tunnel.

We were about to walk in, when there was a high pitch scream, I went to turn around, Hades grabbed me,
“Don't bother, come on” I stopped, that was Julia, she was in trouble, everything rushed back to my head. This wasn’t my reality, I had to help Julia and Sarah,
“Come on, they don’t matter, everything will change” I didn’t move, but they did matter, as of now, they were the closing thing I had to family. I had to leave my past behind me now, it was time to look forward. “Hades” went to push me forward, but I was too quick, I ducked under him and pushed him into the tunnel and quickly slammed the door. I slide down the door and closed my eyes.
I just gave up everything, I could of changed my whole life, but I-I couldn’t do it, those two girls, they knew how it felt, just like me. I can’t change it know, I have to give up on going back, I need to move forward.
I opened my eyes and the room was made of marble, it had the tunnel I came through and one on the opposite wall, so it was a trick. I wiped the tears away from my face and got up, Sarah and Julia could be in trouble and I was going to help them. I sprinted down the new tunnel, I hope Sarah is ok, wait why was I-
The tunnel finally came to an opening, I ran out of it full speed, then saw Julia and Sarah sitting on the floor, staring at me was I tried to stop, but the glass floor didn’t let and I fell face first onto the ground. I groaned in pain, as Sarah ran over to me and Julia strolled over,
“Are you ok?” Sarah said, helping me stand up, her eyes were red, from crying was my guess.
“I’m ok” I said, brushing the dirt off my hawaiian shirt.
“Are you ok?” I asked, Sarah shook her head yes, I looked at the nonchalante Julia,
“Did you scream?” Julia glared at me,
“I don’t scream, Nico” She said, slightly blushing and looking at the ceiling,
“No, I definitely heard a high pitch girly scream” I said, I tired to fight a smile, Julia’s eyes started twitch,
“Yeah, I heard a pretty girly scream too” Sarah added, she tried to hide her grin, Julia gritted her teeth,
“ I. DO. NOT. SCREAM.” She said, Sarah looked at her,
“I don’t know..”
“It sounded awfully like you” I added, we broke her, she tackled Sarah and I to the ground.
Sarah and I laughed as Julia laid ontop of us,
“You guys suck” She said, then the further most wall started creaking, we all watched.
Soon, part of the wall disappeared and left a dark tunnel for us to go down.
