Two Odd Princes ~A Solaneglo AU~

Will and Nico crept down the hall, making as little noise as possible. Neither of them had uttered a word since they left Will's room. Bianca's room was near the end of the wing of the palace while both the boys had come from near the entrance of the same wing.

Soldiers patrolling the halls made it had to maneuver around. They had doubled security in the west since the lockdown started. It seemed that King Hades did want to keep all the children safe even if he didn't like one of them.
Nico paused when they were about to enter the last hall to his sisters room. He heard footsteps coming so he pushed Will back further, trying his best to hide both of them in the shadows. Somehow, it worked and the guards continued down the hall they had come from. When they had passed, Nico checked again, gesturing for Will to follow.
Both the boys stood outside Bianca's door. Nico made the first move to knock. When he did, he heard a shriek from inside; no doubt from Hazel. Before he spoke up, he looked around, making sure no one else would hear. "It's Nico."
The door opened and reached out, grabbing Nico's shirt. He managed to grab Will's wrist before he was completely pulled in. Once they were in the room, Bianca locked the door and faced them. Her face held many emotions; concern, anger, relief. When she spoke, it was anger.
"What are you two doing," she shouted, then lowered her voice a little. "You're both supposed to be in your rooms where it's safe. Sneaking around when the palace is under lock down is not good, so why do it," she sighed, done with scolding them for now. "I'm just glad you guys are alright." She gave both of them a hug before remembering Hazel was still there.
Hazel hid under the bed as soon as there was a knock at the door. Bianca had to crawl under the bed and lure her little sister out, telling her that Nico was here to play.
Hazel smiled, running over to her brother, hugging him. Nico hugged back right away before Hazel went to get one of her toys to play with. While he waited, he turned back to Will and Bianca who were now sitting on the bed about a foot in between them.
It wasn't till then did the older princess remembered what Will had said earlier, and, just like that, her mood turned back to anger.
"About that comment earlier," Bianca said, glancing over at Will. He gulped, putting more distance between them. She noticed how he was slowing moving away and decided to corner him against the bed post. "Make another stupid suggestion like that again and I will make sure one of my arrows is the last thing you see. Understood?"
Will nodded, lost for words. Bianca walked over to where Hazel and Nico were now playing with some dolls, leaving the other boy in the room to accept how his life may or may not end. Will made a mental note to watch what he said about her for now on.
