🏹🏹Cody's pov🏹🏹

Right as Layla left out home, I rushed over to Nico and Will who were sitting together on the couch.

"Guy's we have a problem," was all I needs to say to get their attention and have them pause their movie.

I told them everything Layla told me and waited for their reaction at the end

"We have some options to go through here," Nico said

"She could be able to see through the mist, she could be a legacy, the daughter of a demigod, or she could just be a demigod," he said

~~~~~~

Now I was listening to music, Radioactive by imagine dragons to be exact when it was interrupted by Layla's ringtone as a text came in. I went to check it and my eyes widened.

'Please help,' was all it said. I re-read it about 30 times trying to figure out what that meant. I tried texting her but she didn't reply, and wouldn't pick up my calls.

this got me even more worried

I ran to the living room and before I could tell my brother I silently cooed at Nico who looked younger than me, curled into Wills side, his hair sticking up like mini bat wings.

Gods, focus Cody!

"Will, we have another problem, I think Layla's in trouble," I said and thought it sounded extremely cheesy as it came out of my mouth

"Why do you think that?" He asked confused and not wanting to wake his small boyfriend huddled at his side.

"She sent me this and then when I tried calling her she wouldn't pick up," I passed him my phone.

His eyes widened and he looked at Nico sadly, not wanting to wake him up. Then he grabbed his phone from beside him, took a picture of Nico's position and then shook him awake.

"Nico, wake up we have a problem," Will said and Nico grumbled and cursed in Greek.

"What is it" he mumbled

"Layla is in trouble, we don't know why. Now are you coming of not because we need to get over to her house,"

"I'm getting up, calm down," Nico said getting off the couch and stretching.

We were running down the street, I was leading them to Layla's house which was only a couple blocks away.

I rapidly knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked again and when no one answered I tried kicking down the door.

Now let me give you a heads up. If you are pumped full of adrenaline and feel that you can do anything YOU CANT. My foot smacked the door, which by the way didn't even leave a dent, and I lost my balance, fell over and landed on my butt in the middle of the porch. Not my best move.

"Calm down tiger," Will said stepping in front of me and picking the lock of the door easily. He stepped in and Nico helped me up so we could get in too.

I sprinted up to her room as fast as possible.

I opened the door and gasped seeing Layla on the ground, unconscious and bleeding.
