This is about two months after the soda/energy drink inicdent at Sam and Gabe's place.


"Monster"~Skillet

The secret side of me,

I never let you see

I keep it caged but I can't control it

So stay away from me, the beast is ugly

I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls

It comes awake and I can't control it

Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head

Why won't somebody come and save me from this,

Make it end?


Adam could hear a Sick Puppies' song start to play. He hadn't turned off Leslie's iPod, though she fell asleep hours ago.

"Define your meaning of war

To me it's what we do when we're bored

I feel the heat comin off of the blacktop

And it makes me want it more

Because I'm hyped up, outta control

If it's a fight I'm ready to go

I wouldn't put my money on the other guy

If you know what I know that I know

It's been a long time coming

And the tables' turned around

Cause one of us is goin'

One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin', it's a little different now

Cause one of us is goin'

ONE OF US IS GOIN' DOWN!

Define your meaning of fun

It's a fuckin'drug and a gun

I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop

So get ready for another one

Let's take a trip down memory lane

The words circling in my brain

You can treat this like another all I'm saying

But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain

It's been a long time coming

And the tables' turned around

Cause one of us is goin'

One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin', it's a little different now

Cause one of us is goin'

ONE OF US IS GOIN' DOWN!

This is hardly worth fighting for

But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore

When my fist hits your face and your face hits the floor

It'll be a long time comin'

Bet you got the message now

Cause I was never goin'

Yeah, you're the one that's going down!

One of us is going down

I'm not runnin', it's a little different now

Cause one of us is goin'

ONE OF US IS GOIN' DOWN!

One of us is going down."

Adam rolled his eyes as the black-haired Demigod who was snuggling up to his side in her sleep. "Dude, where's Kaleb when you need him?" He asked thin air, knowing he wasn't gonna get an answer. Adam sighed then looked at the girl again as she buried her face further into his black t-shirt. They really were a messed up couple, even though there wasn't anything going on between the two. He flipped through the channels, looking for anything good.

There was an X-Men movie on, he just couldn't tell which one. Leslie loved these kinds of movies, but he, for some his-soon-to-be-father-in-law's sake, didn't want to wake her up. Leslie had a rough month, being hung from Apollo's charriot and all. He still didn't know who had finally informed Apollo about the whole thing, but he wished they had done it sooner, because Hades was ready to skin hisass alive, since she had been kidnapped on his watch.

Adam still wondered who did it, since Gabriel wasn't doing that anymore, Hermes, well he was doing his job, and well, Hades' poor kid was the victum. Probably one of Zeus' spawns though. Like father, like child.

Leslie stired against his side, her blue eyes blinking open. "Hey, this is a good movie!" She exclaimed, sitting up straight now. "Sorry, was I sleeping on you again? I need to stop doing that.

"It's ok Les, I don't mind," Adam told her, meaning every word. "You were strapped to the bottom of Apollo's charriot for a month. I don't think Gabriel would mind if you slept on Sam with what you went through." Leslie laughed at the latter comment, there was no way in Hell, Heaven, or Earth that Gabriel would let anyone besides himself and their kids sleep on Sam.

Leslie's cellphone started to play the chours of 'Move Your Body' by My Darkest Days.

"But the devil can hear you when you say, C'mon and get up (Get up), Move your body, use your body, Lose control, Rub it right up (Back up), Against my body, Take my body; make it yours (So get up), We're gonna light this room on fire, Yeah you and I will burn it up tonight (So get up), The two of us are gonna fuel this fire, No way in hell we're slowing down tonight."

Leslie pulled the black phone out of her bra and answered it before it got anymore disturbing. "Yeah?" She asked.

"This Hades' spawn?" A male voice asked from the other end of the line.

"Depends on who's asking?" She quipped, now drumming her fingers on Adam's thigh.

"I can tell you who chained you to cousin Apollo's charriot," the guy told her. Her hand froze in place and Adam stared at her.

"Who's kid?" She whispered into the phone, terrified. It was either Demeter's, Poseidon's, or one of her very own siblings. There was a chuckle on the other end of the line. "Catch on quick sis. Of course, you did get our mom's wits," The boy laughed.

Leslie swallowed dry air. No way it could be him, he was suppose to be dead.

"Dylan?" She whispered. It was more of a statement than a question. "You're suppose to be dead."


I feel it deep within,

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become,

The nightmare's just begun

I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster
