A/N: Hey guys, I know a lot of you are enjoying the story and I love reading all of your reviews but the one thing that keeps popping up is stuff like why isn't it like book or it should be more like the book. Well this is why it isn't like the book. First I never read the book, I know shocker, but when it came out I didn't hear about it until the movie came out. Second when ever I want to read the book, it's always out at my library so I can't get until I go back to school in a month. Third I have the movie when the idea for the story came so I was like why not it have it the movie since I don't know that much about what happens in the book. So that's why it's like the movie and not the book. Also could you read and review my other stories and give me some ideas. One more thing I'm going to finish this story up in seven more days because that's my goal and I know you guys want me to, too. (If that made any sense.) :)
The drive was short and soon we were right in front of the Hollywood sign. As we walked across the Hollywood sign, I saw Greek writing that turned into English writing.
"Woe to all depraved souls." I read out loud.
After I said those words, a mound of earth collapsed in on itself creating a door way. Nico looked uneasy as we walked through the it making me wonder if his parent was enemies with Hades.
The inside walls were covered in human skulls and there was little light. Once we were inside the door way closed itself making it so we couldn't get back.
"Well, I guess there's no turning back now," Grover said as we continued to walk until we came up to a creepy looking man," Perce, who's that creepy guy with the hoodie?"
"That's Charon. He's in charge of the entrance of the underworld." Nico said as we walked up to him.
"Who are you?" the Charon asked turning to us.
"We need to see Hades." Nico said.
"Climb adored," He said. 'That was easier that I thought.' I thought as we climber on and started to go, "welcome to the under world." The underworld looked more depressing then I thought it would be.
"What is this?" I asked as different objects came by.
"Scrape heaps of human misery. Lost hopes and dreams. Wishes that never came true. All lives end in suffering and tragedy." He said as he brought us to the castle.
Nico looked even worse than when he faced the Chimera as we entered the castle. Then we heard a growling noise that made a shiver run down my spine. Then out of nowhere two huge cat like things popped out and started to walk towards us. Then a woman in a black dress came and commanded them away.
"What were those things?" I asked
"Hellhounds. Hey Nico, Finally came to visit your dad and stepmom."
"Wait, Hades is your dad?" I said a little shocked.
"I was going to tell you, but-"
"If your apologizing you don't need to. I don't care if Hades is your dad." I said
"Persephone! What could possibly be taking so long! Don't ignore me!" Hades yelled from somewhere.
"Or what? What could you possibly do? I'm already living in hell," Persephone yelled back before leading us to Hades, "We have visitors." She said as Hades turned towards us.
"Niece," Hades said as he saw me, "Welcome. You have your father's looks. Always the lucky side of the family."
"Wait your Hades?" Grover asked
"Yes."
"Sorry. I didn't expect you to look like this."
"Would you prefer if I looked like this?" Hades said before turning into the same monster that appeared at camp.
"No! Stay with the Mick Jagger thing, it works for you." Grover said before Hades turned back into his human form.
"You're very brave coming here. Come closer," I did as Hades said with Nico at my heels, "I can see the look of disgust in your eyes, but this existing was not my choosing. I was banished here by Zeus and your father. I am damned. My only chance of getting out of this place is to defeat my brothers and take control of Olympus. But, I'll need the Bolt."
"And I need my mom." I said.
"So, we have an understanding. You give me the bolt and I'll give you your mother."
"I need to tell you something. I'm not the lightning thief. I don't have the bolt. I never did."
"Then why did you come here?"
"Well, I was hoping that when you saw that I wasn't the thief that you'd let my mother go."
"Yes but do you think I'm an idiot! I'm Hade! Now, give me the blot or say goodbye to your mother." He said as he broke a sphere made out of bones. The broken bone turned into my mom. Without thinking I dropped my shield, ran over to her, and hugged her tightly.
"I thought I lost you." I said as tears streamed down my eyes. When I looked back at Hades, he was pulling the bolt out of the shield.
"Zeus's master bolt. Liar." Hades said.
"I swear, I don't know how that got in there. It's not even my shield." I said.
"No. Luke rigged it," Nico said standing in front of me, "Luke stole the bolt and used us."
"I think we're done," Hades said grabbing Nico, "Feed them to the souls," Then Persephone did something that made the fire place turn into a fire with people in to trying to get us, "Summon the hounds." Then the hellhounds were coming towards us again and Nico couldn't do anything about it.
'We're doomed.' I thought as me started to back away from the hounds but stopped because of the souls. Then the fire place turned back to normal and the hounds went away. The next thing I know I was in Nico embrace. Then I saw Hades unconscious on the ground.
"Why'd you do that?" I asked.
"Because he's cruel and abusive. The only thing that I look forward to is my time away from this hellhole. A war of the gods would put an end to that. And I'd be alone with only him forever. Go. Take the bolt and your mother." She said handing me the bolt as I pulled out the four pearls.
"Only four but there's five of us. One of us is going to have to stay." I said.
"I'll stay," Nico said, "I'm the son of Hades so I can get in an out of here on my own. I'll meet you guy's back at camp."
"Fine, but you better come back in one piece." I said before hugging him tightly.
"I will." He mumbled into my hair.
I gave everyone a pearl and we were about to go when Nico said, "Perci wait I have something I want to give you." When I turned around he kissed me right on the lips. When we broke apart I was in shock.
"Uh...thanks." I said not knowing what else to say.
"Okay guys think about going to Olympus." Annabeth said. Then we all stepped on our pearls and were out of the underworld.
