**Song: Wall by Good Kid**
**Solana's POV**
We get there just as Luna collapses into the chair. I can't take it. I run straight towards her, holding her in my arms for a good five minutes. I can't let her die, no matter what.
"Get out of here!" Will yells at me. There's a look of pure terror on his face as I see Nico attack Circe head on. I carry Luna out of the palace. The deserted island is no longer looking welcoming, as it's nighttime with the withered trees and plants. Was it all just a trick? A simple illusion to mess with our minds? I stop myself from thinking about it. Luna's still my responsibility. I need to make sure she's safe. She's becoming pale. I'd estimate, best case scenario, she'd die in maybe a couple of hours? Worst case, she'll be dead in 20 minutes. I check her pulse. It's growing weaker, but definitely still there. Even though her heart is fine, her breath is very thin. I begin rescue CPR.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJuU7KIlEk
Out of the corner of my eye, I see the battle. It's becoming more gruesome by the second. Circe is taking debris from the island and using it to attack Nico, while will is trying his best to give Nico ambrosia and nectar between attacks. There's blood spilled over the floor, and I don't even know is it's Nico's. That's saying something about Circe's character there.
I test Luna's pulse again. Her lips are beginning to turn blue as she grows even paler than I thought was humanly possible. Her breath is less shallow, though I don't know how long she will last. Her pulse is becoming stronger, though her complexion isn't agreeing with it. I don't know what's happening to her, and it's frustrating. I can't seem to fix the person that I love most. Time is running out and I'm still trying to find a solution to this problem. Dang it, fuck you dad! Why can't your power be more useful?
I begin CPR again. Will's begun fighting for his life now, too. Both of them are beginning to look bloody and out of breath. I wish I could be there to help them, but it isn't what they want. They think I'm just another 12-year-old who couldn't possibly handle this. Even if I want to, I can't help them anyways. I have too much on my plate with helping Luna already. I can't let there be more blood on my hands.
Circe slashes Nico's side, knocking him down. I see a look of panic on Will's face. He might have to choose between fighting and helping Nico at this point. Helping Nico could get them both killed, though Nico would probably take a long time to recover from the wound is Will doesn't help him. I can really relate to how Will's probably feeling at this point. Why does every battle have to come down to this decision. Will takes another moment looking back and forth between Circe and Nico before making the decision. He tosses his first aid kit to Nico before going back to battle, doing everything he can to kill Circe. There's this look of pure anger on his face as he hits Circe with a sharp piece of debris.
I look at Luna, but she doesn't seem to be doing okay. Her pule has dropped dramatically. She has a newfound strong breath, so I stop the CPR. Her condition is worrying. What if she dies? I can't let her. She's the person I need most in this world, and I can't let her go. No way. She's going to pull through. She has to. I can't imagine living without the reason I wake up in the morning. She means too much to me. Her death would darken the world to too many people for that to happen. I grab her hand, hoping that maybe I'll be able to make her pule stronger. It seems to work, so I let go after a couple of minutes. She's stable, and that's a huge relief. I just need to find the antidote to her poisoning. (Insert antidote here) should cure ricin poisoning. (Insert ingredients here) are what I need to find in order to make said antidote. I go to find (Insert antidote) which is easy since Circe has a lot of potion ingredients in here. I find (every ingredient except the last two) In her garden. The last two, however, are rare. There was a window garden in the kitchen, but I don't know if I should try to get the ingredients while there's a huge boss battle currently commencing. 12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizU3WulPwl
I decide to try and sneak in. When Circe isn't looking, I run behind her. I manage to grab the last two ingredients with ease and run back out. I go to make the antidote, but I don't have something to mix it in. The only bowl near me is in the kitchen, but it's the one the poisoned food was in. I can't use that, it will only poison her more I'm afraid. 12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmYil55a3n
I give up and run back to Luna. Her breathing is stopped, causing her pulse to be weak. Shit. I go back to CPR, trying and best as I can. I begin to question whether she will make it or not. She has to make it, no matter what. I can't possibly believe that my best friend is dying in my arms right now, and I'm unable to do something. It's the worst feeling in the world. I'm powerless, and it's tearing me apart piece by piece.
The boys aren't doing so hot, either. Nico definitely got some ambrosia, but he's still clutching his side as if he were to bleed out. That's never a good sign, especially not to demigods. To humans, that can mean a number of things. Things such as cramps or stomach issues. To demigods, nine times out of ten you got badly hurt in any way, shape, or form. You never want to see a demigod complaining about pain. Just, never.
I look at Luna. Thank the gods, some of the color has returned to her face. Still, she definitely isn't in a good enough condition to be considered satisfactory. While her breathing and pulse have gotten better, she is not doing too hot. After all this time, I can't possibly let her die. Damn, I hate how easy it is to give all of yourself to a person.
I hear a scream come from the battlefield, and I immediately register it as one from Circe. What's happening?
"FUCK YOU STUPID DIANGELO" Wow, you can always go wrong underestimating the yell of an immortal. The pure shriek that followed shoo. k the ground of the entire island. I glanced over for second, spotting a gold substance (Obviously Ichor) draining from Circe's chest.
"Give up now or else you will be bleeding from several other places." Will obviously said this to back Nico up. I looked over at them, noticing that Will's fingers were intertwined with that of Nico's. It was cute and gross at the same time. I honestly kind of wish that would be me and Luna someday.
I suddenly remember that Luna is possibly dying right now. I test her pulse. Oh shit no. It's barely even there. She's not breathing. I do CPR, hoping that it will somehow revive Luna's dying breath.
"Fine! I give up! To you and your other demigods, just leave me the fuck alone!" And with that Circe disappeared, never to be seen again. Or, hopefully. Nico and Will ran over, bloody and bruised like normal. I was frantically trying to revive Luna, when I got a thought. Someone is going to die on this trip. It was cursed from the start. I now know that in order to save one person, another has to be sacrificed. I look over at Will and Nico, their faces looking grim. They also seem sort of like I'm a little child crying over a goldfish that's died.
"Stand back." My voice is shaky, but firm. "Cover your eyes." I don't know what's going to happen, but I know that it will probably kill them if they saw. No way. I'm not letting them go along with me. Heck, I don't even know if it's gonna work. All I know is that Luna is going to live. Even if it takes every cell in my body, I will not let her die on my watch.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wlAmQ9gyV
"Solana?" Will asks, but I'm focused. I grab Luna's hand firmly, making sure that I have a good hold. I close my eyes and begin to heal her. Envisioning the problem in my mind. Fixing it. I begin to glow, and feel myself burning up. So this is a burn up, eh? Well I guess I would've felt it sooner or later. Suddenly a cool, dense wave of calm washes over me. I saved her. I feel at peace as I black out, never to be seen again. I love you Luna.
