I decided to write this fanfic in a grammar class, go figure, and I found it amazing. I hope you guys like it too.
"Are you two really sure that this is a good idea?" a woman with dark chocolate brown hair asked her sisters after reluctantly agreed with their idea.
"Come on! Zeus' girl can't be that bad! I spend most days at Hades ' palace listening to his complaining and him and his son arguing. And don't even remind me of that depressive son of his!" her sister with big brown eyes said. After saying that, she pulled her black hair in a ponytail.
"It is your choice to stay there or not, Demeter" the woman pointed out. She had brown eyes like Demeter.
"Well, I wasn't going to leave my daughter at the lions' den, Hera!" said Demeter annoyed. She, like Hera, was reluctant about their oldest sister idea.
"That said "lion" is her HUSBAND" and with that the yelling started.
"Have you met Hades?" she said like it explained everything.
"Yes, I have, if I recall well, he is our older brother, married to your daughter and an unfaithful husband!" Hera hissed the last two words with anger and disgust.
"Yes, he is, but who are you to talk?" Demeter hissed back.
"THE goddess of marriage!" yelled Hera with wide eyes for her sister even asking the question. They didn't even notice a small figure letting out a tired sigh like the person saw this million times already.
"And how many times did your husband cheat on you? Because, if I recall well, a lot more than Hades cheated on Persephone" a smirk grew on her face knowing that she had hit a nerve.
"Not again" murmured the small girl and face palmed herself.
A loud smack echoed through Olympus, and then in seconds a fight between the goddess of marriage and the goddess of the harvest could be heard in all the Olympus. An it was left for the small girl to pull them apart, but the irony was that, the small girl was their oldest sister, but in a form of a eight-year-old girl.
"Sisters" the fight continued "Hera! Demeter!" no one listened to her. So she decided to pull them both apart by the hair.
"Ah! Let me go, Hestia! Let me beat Demeter so hard she won't feel her body for a century!" Hera yelled trying to get off Hestia's grip. However, the goddess of hearth was pretty strong for a looks like eight-year-old.
"I want to see you try, Hera!" yelled Demeter. Both goddesses were with golden blood on their clothes and their hairs looked like rat's nest.
"And that's exactly why I suggested the bonding trip!" Hestia said looking between the sisters she was holding. "AND you two are going no matter what."
"Even if we're going, how do you plan to convince our brothers and their brats?" asked Demeter calming a little. "Because Katie won't be a problem."
"Hera, you'll convince Zeus, and if you don't want to see Thalia and Jason before the trip, you make him convince them." Hestia said and stared at Hera with the look that the younger one didn't dare to defy.
"Fine" Hera said in a spoiled tone. "Now, if let me go, I'll try to convince Zeus to go in this trip" with that Hestia let her go and Hera disappeared in a bright light.
"Hades won't listen to me" Demeter stated.
"So you convince Poseidon. You know I'm Hades' favorite" said the older one while Demeter rolled her eyes.
"Should I say that it's an order from you and that he can bring Percy?"
"Basically"
"Okay. I'll try." Demeter said and disappeared the same way Hera did, but she left a smell of cereals.
"So, that leaves Hades to me" the eight-year-old murmured. "It can't be that hard…" she told herself.
One hour later at Hades' palace
"No" was his answer for the millionth time.
"Please?"
"No"
"Alstublieft?" she tried in Dutch.
"No"
"Por favor? Para sua irmã favorita que te ama muito…"
"No! Want to hear in Portuguese? Não!" Hades yelled. "Look, speak in Portuguese won't help. You tried in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, German and French" the oldest sibling replied annoyed by his sister's innumerous tries of getting him to agree to go in a 'bonding trip' with his children, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.
"Don't make me beg!" she said and Hades let out a loud annoyed sigh.
"Hestia, I said no!" with this, the girl kneed and hugged his legs like a child would do. Well, by appearance she was one, but that wasn't the point.
"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, παρακαλώ, παρακαλώ, παρακαλώ, παρακαλώ, παρακαλώ, παρακαλώ, παρακαλώ, please, please, please, please, por favor, please, please…"
One hour later
"-ase, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please…" she continued. A woman in a table nearby and a boy were just watching the scene with amusement.
"What do you think?" the boy with black eyes just like his father's asked "Should we help?" he asked pointing his head to the siblings.
"Which one?" the woman with multicolored eyes that resembled the seasons of the year asked.
"I don't know. Maybe dad?" the boy suggested.
"Nah, your dad is doing just fine" she said, "I wonder, how he didn't explode yet?"
"He's getting pretty good controlling his temper. He only yelled at me once today. Can you believe it, Persephone?"
"Nico, I was there and yes, he's getting better at it. But if you miss him yelling at you, I can yell at you as I used to before" she said smirking.
"Oh Gods! No!" Nico said and turned to see his father and aunt again "Actually, I'll just leave it. I will probably get blasted" he said and the Persephone nodded and both continued to watch the scene.
"-lease, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, plea…"
"Shut up, Hestia! I'm going, okay? Just shut up, I can't take it anymore!" Hades finally gave up after two hours. Hestia jumped in Hades, wrapping her arms around his neck, hugging him.
"Thank you, big brother! You're the best!" she said and he rolled his eyes at her. She let him out and he crossed his arms over his chest and stared at her "I promise I won't bother you with my crazy ideas for five centuries, okay?"
"A millennia"
"Seven centuries"
"Fine" he agreed and Hestia had a huge grin on her face.
"See you at Olympus in one hour, brother" she said and disappeared in bright light.
"I'm impressed, father. A eight-year-old convinced you to go in a bonding trip with your brothers and sisters"
"Nieces and nephews" completed his wife grinning.
"And hugged you. Be careful, my lord, someone might think you're growing soft" Nico said a bit cynical. He couldn't help it. His father never showed any emotion to him besides disappointment, anger and annoyance.
"Don't speak to me this way, boy" his father said angry and his wife let out a sigh.
"I'm so sorry, my lord. It won't happen again" the boy said cynic again. "I'm leaving, so I won't be bothering you. Don't worry Hazel will love to go in a bonding trip" he said.
"Bianca wouldn't speak to me this way!"
"Of course she wouldn't! Because she is the perfect daughter! She would do something faster, better. She would be stronger, more fearless, she would behave better, speak better, walk better, breath better, blink better. She should be alive instead of me! I get, okay? You don't need to remind me that everyday!" Nico snapped and disappeared in the shadows.
'Hestia is right, this family clearly needs help' Persephone thought leaving her husband alone with a shocked face because of his son's words.
