"Hours before midnight"
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, so as Hades and Persephone.
A/N: This story is on the roll! I give my thanks to healme13 who gave the first review and sheshatescold for adding this story to one of her favorites. I know I had errors but I will try my very best to lessen them.(I'll improve along the way, I promise). I'll make it up to you both and the random readers out there.
I'm glad you had fun reading the first chapter. So here goes the 2nd. Enjoy:)
Chapter 2: A Pup for A Pal.
I don't think feeding that guitar to the souls is a great idea.
She murmured. Not that she cared about his Mick Jagger state but at least he has his fun. She wouldn't take that away. She prefers watching Hades get so crazy on his deafening music than seeing him seduce another woman. She became so possessive of him that sometimes she could knock herself out, seriously.
She lingered to the corridors. If only she could grab him away. Then she thought, maybe hanging out with Cerberus will ease her longing.
She teleported herself to where the enormous three headed dog is. She arrives to the gates of the Underworld when the swirling of petals came to a stop and fades.
She was chilled to the bone to see mortals souls kept on coming and counting. This is going forever. She thought. How sad, her Hades is working persistently nowadays. He really needs a break.
My Queen. Cerberus speaks in Persephone's mind in three voices, chorused. He moves out from the shadows and gave his three heads a bow.
Is anything bothering you? How may I come of aid? He asks in genuine formality, which is odd since formality had to be Charon.
Persephone gave a laugh.
"Oh come on, are you hanging out with Charon again?" she giggled.
Besides the souls? Who else? Cerberus rolled in exhilaration. Persephone smirk and rolls her brown autumn eyes.
But I did not munch his oar this time! Really!
"Keep it down." she warned in a hushed tone. For sure Hades heard that one, even from a far.
Oops. Sorry My Lady. Is boss having a hard time?
"Yeah. He needs a break, you know. But with these mortals souls coming." She pointed to the thousand souls, and gave a wave at Charon who is as gloomy and looking tired like the ones he ferries. "This will take forever." She continued, groan.
He's been doing this forever, is he not? Teased the three headed dog before one of his heads shoves Persephone's shoulder that causes her to stumble.
"Don't do that!" She was back at her feet. Letting her hands wiped away the dirt on her beautiful embroiled robe.
The dog whimpered in reply. Afraid that his mistress will instantly turn him into geranium or a daffodil perhaps. Like what she did to Nico when he angered her. What's worse is that he knows how much Persephone's rage scares him to Hell. Leuce and Mintha were some of the products. The heart of the huge, vile creature startled.
"Hey, chill! I'm just kidding! I wouldn't turn you into a plant for the love of Hades." She giggled. Cerberus roared in reply, now much loud than usual. Persephone laughs. Forgetting the Hades is in his banishment job.
"Ugh." Hades, on his throne rolled his eyes. What's up with Cerberus? He's like tickled to death.
"Alecto!" He yelled. In the mist shows Alecto, his most trusted fury.
"My Lord, you have summoned. What is your command?"
"Take charge." Then Hades fades to black
The mortal souls groan. Alecto gave a slight smirk and began to pace back and forth in front of the souls. Realizing that their boss is exaggerating to much effort to these demanding souls, she wanted to fury swipe them all.
Hades materialized himself to the gates. She looked up and Cerberus stopped laughing or howling or whatever it shall be called.
"I said: less ear hurting." He reminded, he stood and look at the souls that kept on coming. Oh gods, this is going forever .This job is worse than Tartarus! Hades thought.
Whoa, first time in a thousand years both of you came to visit! I love you, BOSS!
"ALRIGHT, I GOT YOU! Just stop it!" Hades yelp when Cerberus began soaking him with THE MOST UNEXPLAINABLE AND WORST SICKENING saliva ever there was in the cosmos. Persephone laughed so hard, she laughed like she never did before. She found the ground a good place to laugh.
"I can't breathe!"She said between snorts and giggles.
"Stop it you OVERGROWN PUP! Yours is even worse than Hydra's!" Hades demanded, he materialized himself and poof in a distance with himself already dried out from that gross licking session.
"OH! That was fun." She exclaimed trying to finish her giggles. Hades, on the other hand wanted to DROWN HIMSELF TO THE RIVER OF STYX. Cerberus is getting to his nerves.
"Well, I'm glad that's over." he cleared his throat, trying to brace control; he wanted to puke himself out for the love of corn!
"I won't be spending the rest of my day off soaked in saliva. Let's go, my dove." He clutched Persephone's hand. Gave the look to Cerberus that might said : YOU STAY. Or perhaps: I will slap your head off the next time.
HEY BOSS! What about me? Grant me a day off too! The three headed dog mandate before the couple come to fade.
"NOT IN ETERNITY." Hades retorted back and concentrated to materialize themselves out. OUT where? He haven't thought of that until now.
The dog whimpered. "In time Big Boy. In time." Persephone reassured before they faded in the swirls of dark mist.
A/N: Cerberus is an Overgrown puppy! (Yah, think? I need to disclaim that. It's not my line though. Found it somewhere.)I hope I still got your interest in the story. Next: Hades is not I-enjoy-sunny-meadows type of guy*cough* hate Apollo*cough*. Zeusy is not the guy he'll ask for help( they'll end up in bed discussions anyway)*facepalm* neither Demeter will do good(who wants nagging for a lecture).
Don't forget to leave a review, it means a lot to me:)
I'll update soon… Signing off for now…
