A/N: I don't know much about Greek mythology so forgive me if I get things
wrong. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except Lori.

Puck's POV

I hid behind a broken pillar. If I was spotted, Hades would surely kill me. I stayed hidden, listening as he tried to get Lori to tell him everything. "Oh, come on. Don't tell me you miss your little redheaded boyfriend. What is it you call him? Roberto?" I peeked my head out to find him stroking her beautiful brown locks. No one touches my Lori!

"It's Robbie. And I already told you, he's not my boyfriend." She grumbled. AWWW! What is wrong with me? This girl's in serious trouble and here I am hoping she likes me. I'm messed up.

"But as my witches have shown me time and time again, you wish he was. Don't you?" I hope she did.

"No." she crossed her arms. Awwwwww. That's when I noticed the bruising on her face. I growled. They had hurt her before.

"Don't lie to me, you fool!" He struck her, sending her sprawling across the floor. "I deceive others! Not the other way around! Now, tell me the truth."

She tried to get up by pushing herself upwards with wobbly arms. He pulled her by the hair so that she would look him in the eyes. She cried out in pain. His eyes narrowed and he spoke to someone over his shoulder. "Put her in a cell, Ragba. Then we'll see if she would like to tell me the truth."

The same demon from earlier picked her up and stuffed her into a tiny container that resembled a birdcage. She barely had room to change position. She was curled into a little ball, sobbing. I couldn't take it anymore. They were torturing her.

I watched them, and shrouding myself in the shadows, followed them until they put her down. I could hear the wails of the dead behind me; it was creepy. Hades reached in and struck her a last time. This time he caused her lip to bleed. She wiped away the blood and continued to sob, harder this time. I made sure they were gone and then went up to her cell. I used my dagger to try and pick the lock. I almost had it. I opened her cell and tapped her shoulder. "Psst. Lori, come on." She looked up.

"Rob? What are you doing here? Hades will kill you." She hissed.

"I know but, uh, call me Puck."

"Why?" Her voice filled with panic. "You don't mean- are you?" She gasped.

"Because my name is Robin Goodfellow. Most of my friends call me Puck and- oh! There's no time!" I hissed while pulling her out and to her feet. She gave me
a hug and followed me into the shadows. I pulled her behind a pillar and was about to tell her something when I heard Hades' furious voice.

"Where is she? I need that girl! Find her! Rip apart every nook and cranny of every dimension if you have to!" Shortly after I heard a creak and deafening roars rang out as Hades let loose the worst monsters imaginable. They all flew up into the air to the human and faery worlds. I heard a feminine voice.

"Hades, I am willing to lend you my minions as well, as long as I get an equal share." Uh, oh.

"Eris, of course I'm willing to give you an equal share. But you must convince the girl to wed me." what? No way dude! She's mine! Lori whimpered and pressed against me. I reached back and squeezed her hand reassuringly. She nodded softly and wrapped her arms around my stomach, pressing her face into my back.

"Deal. Minions! You know what to do." there was another creak and screeches rose, as did their owners. Eris' minions mixed with Hades' monsters, not good.

A/N: Lori: *gulp* Hades? Of all people and psychopaths, Hades? Really, Naynay?

Puck: Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.

Me: Just you wait. Things will get worse.

Lori: What the he-

Me: *interrupting* Review to see what happens as to the budding romance and
some unexplained melodramas.

Puck&Lori: *at same time* Budding romance?

Me: Mwahahahaha *evil grin* Don't you just love me? But seriously, review.
