Chains was the first thing I felt. It was the first thing I felt. I ,Ashley was a daughter of Hades and I was chained. I was on my knees. My hands were chained to the stone ground. It was a cold dungeon. I had so much power. But I knew being in the hands of Arachne. It was the first time I've got a captured. I knew the traitor thing was a serious offense to the earth but perry had persuaded me and so did Jason. What am I saying the roman and Greek demigods told me.

Now that I was captured what are they going to do about it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Dylan had promised to take me away from all this. Never did he. He was blinded by the other treasure. far far away.

"Well Ashley is is good to be back with me "

"Never Arachne"

"Well then"

The chains weren't chains anymore. There were the silk of a spider's web. Did I mention that I was afraid of spiders? She crept toward me. Her tattered hair was brown and around her face. Her spider body was laid on a body I couldn't see. I was trembling. The spider web shook along with me. She crept toward me. her hairy legs sensed my trembling.

She took her hairy leg and stoked my tattered black hair. I was frozen stiff.

" Now there's no way to be like that"

I didn't say anything. If I said something she would turn me into a spider snack. Or she would put me in her mirror where I would have to tell her how 'beautiful' she was. She demanded attention. If she put me in her dresser mirror I wouldn't have to talk to her too much. But if in her pocket mirror then it would be all the time. She began to wrap me in spider silk. I trembled.

She wrapped me in the spider silk completely. I struggled against her silk. I heard the man yell as he had his blood sucked from him. I could feel his pain.I felt her pick me up in her mouth. It was warm and the silk around me turned wet around her spit until it dissolved. She was left holding me in her mouth. I could feel her tongue licking my side. She was tasting me. She dropped me in the mirror. I felt the magic around me. There was a single chair and vast empty darkness.

" Ashley NOW"

I sat on the chair. Her ugly face filled the screen.

"How beautiful am I ?"

I started sputtering words.

It is a blessing to see your face,I'm blessed to be in your presence. you have qualities that give great pleasure to see, hear, think about,you delighit the senses or mind

"That's enough for now"

She dropped me on the ground when she heard swords out there. I heard a wail from Arachne. A speckle of monster dust fell on the surface of the mirror. I saw some of Gaea 's demigods. They didn't notice me. So I was just there. I saw the ceiling and nothing else. The dust piled on. I felt something pick up the mirror. I got off the chair. I saw a guy. He had blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a white t-shirt with jeans. He had a cute smile when he smiled at the mirror. He pockted me in his
