Chapter 12

Rose's POV.

I was beyond exhausted by the time we got back to the castle. Abby and I had more fun yesterday than I ever had in all my years combined. She took me around the big three-story building, showing me every nook and cranny.

She told me a lot about the underworld, and I told her everything I could about Earth, and most especially the witches. She told me to come over to the castle, I suggested. That way you can meet Sarah. She promised to talk to Nile about it. As soon as we got to the castle, Hades took me straight to our room, and I slept off almost instantly.

The next morning when I woke up, the room was empty and I was alone in bed, which was strange since to prevent me from wandering around the palace, Hades was always there. I sighed when I remembered that it was unusually quiet yesterday. I sighed again when I realized how tired I still was.

I sat up when there was a knock on the door.

‘’My lady, are you up?’’ Nana's voice called. I yawned.

‘‘’ Yes, come in.
