Chapter 10: Everything Goes Horribly Wrong

"Don't worry, you're safe with me," My dad told me. I still wasn't sure but I followed him anyway. We walked into the majestic doors into the most magnificent room you'll ever see. I looked down as I walked in and could feel the looks of hatred glaring at me. I dared a glance at the gods and the looks I received confused me. I couldn't blame them if some of them were looks of hatred though. I had just tried to destroy them.

Apollo was red in the face and he was gripping his chair tightly. He was the one who hated me most of all because I was Elizabeth's boyfriend. Aphrodite was the only one who looked happy to see me. She was smiling at me. She looked just like Elizabeth.

"I know you see me as Elizabeth," A voice said in my head. I knew it was Aphrodite and she smiled even more when I gave her a shy smile.

Poseidon was looking at me curiously. I guess he didn't know what to think of me. I was his daughter's fiancé but I had tried to destroy him.

Artemis looked at me with disgust, but she looked at every guy like that.

Demeter looked at me coldly.

Dionysus made some vines grow around my feet but with one look from my father, Dionysus immediately made them disappear.

Zeus looked at me with a blank face.

Athena studied me critically; I knew she was sizing me up. Her expression softened a little after a while.

"I see why Elizabeth loved you so much," Athena said in my head. I smiled weakly to her.

Ares looked like he wanted to pulverize me. He didn't like anyone, but he liked Elizabeth because she was a favorite of Aphrodite, plus she was a fantastic fighter.

Hephaestus didn't really know what to think of me I guess. I had never really done anything to him.

Hera looked at me with a glare that sent shivers up my spine.

"Hermes, you're here. You'll probably have to go retrieve Ms. Banks from the Underworld. She's in shock right now," Zeus commanded. My father nodded and I turned my head. When the light died down, I opened them and he was gone. I stood awkwardly in front of the eleven gods… that were all looking at me… who all wanted to kill me except for Aphrodite. Great. Could they kill me? I was already dead wasn't I?

"Did any of you know she was going to the Underworld?" Zeus boomed. Everyone shook their head solemnly.

"How would we know? We can't even get it out of her why she loved this little twerp in front of us," Apollo muttered.

"Oh hush Apollo. You're just mad that she chose him over you," Aphrodite scolded. Apollo gave her the death look.

"She deserves better," Apollo mumbled. I felt my face get hot.

"No, she and Luke are perfect for each other. He is just right for her," Poseidon declared. Apollo rolled his eyes and played his IPod as I stared gaping at Poseidon. "I hope she's okay."

"What do you mean you hope she's okay?" I questioned suddenly. It was the first time I had said a thing. Everyone looked at me.

"She didn't take your death very well. She just caused a volcano eruption in Japan. We still need to figure out how she does that," Zeus told me. Poseidon and Aphrodite glanced at each other and I knew they knew why Elizabeth could do that.

"Luke, go over to Hestia's for now," Zeus ordered me. I decided to follow his directions. I backed up and didn't turn my back until I got to the doors; I cautiously turned around and opened the door and exited the room. I was out in fresh air again. It was kind of chilly and only then did I realize what I was wearing. I was wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, mocks, and a black jacket. I decided I needed to find Hestia's house fast before I froze to death! Of course, I had no idea where it was…

"Follow me Luke," A voice said. I turned my head to see who had said that and saw Hestia standing on my right.

"Lady Hestia." I bowed and stood back up.

"You've changed Luke Castellan." I winced when she said my name. I still had bad memories of my mom and her… never mind. As if Hestia had read my mind she said, "Your mom is fine now. She doesn't have any more of the visions. She just misses you terribly. Come now. I think you would like to see certain someone's."

Hestia turned and I followed her. We walked for a really long time until we reached a quaint house. We walked inside and the smell reminded me of the thing I longed for the most: Elizabeth. Hestia's house smelled like Elizabeth's perfume. I'm not sure what the perfume was called but it made me nuts when she wore it (which I just realized is probably the reason she wore it all the time).

"The house smells like your favorite smell," Hestia told me. I swear she had ESP or something going on.

"Oh, okay," I replied.

"Follow me." Hestia motioned for me to follow her and we entered a room with two cribs and toys scattered all over the place.

"Why are-" I started. Then I realized why she brought me here. "L- Logan? Cl- Clara?"

The twins turned to look at me and they stared at me with bright and inquisitive blue eyes.

"DADDY!" They screamed. I dropped to my knees and they came crawling over as fast as they could. I embraced them. Their little hands were wrapped around my neck. I picked them up and turned to Hestia.

"Thank you," I whispered. Hestia smiled.

"Elizabeth put them into my care when you turned into Kronos. She was in hysterics when she gave them to me. She really missed you… and so did they," Hestia explained, looking at Logan and Clara.

"Hestia? Am- am I in a dream or am I-"

"You're alive Luke Castellan. You don't remember any of it though and that's completely normal. You were supposed to be a surprise for Elizabeth but she was a step ahead of us and we didn't know it. And because of that, she might destroy half the coastal cities in the US before she calms down enough."

"What do you mean?" I inquired. Hestia's face turned grave.

"Poseidon and Aphrodite did the unimaginable. They had a good reason but it is costing us dearly. I'm the only one that knows."

"What did they do?"

"They turned Elizabeth into a goddess."

Elizabeth's POV

I felt numb. I was in shock. My temper was out of control and I knew I was creating devastation somewhere. I didn't care. I was in a forest and came out at Camp Half-Blood. How did that happen?

I saw a bonfire in the distance and realized they were having their bonfire. I ran over to the Poseidon cabin.

"Going somewhere?" A voice said. I turned around and saw Ares. He didn't look mad. He looked sorry. For once in his life, I think Ares actually felt bad for someone.

"Yeah, away from everyone else," I shot back.

"You need to come with me," Ares told me. I laughed.

"Make me," I fired. I changed into my true form and landed in the tunnel that the Poseidon cabin lead me to. I ran down the tunnel without stopping and opened the hatch that led outside. I ran over to the cliff, laid down on my stomach, and cried. I cried uncontrollably. I felt a little earthquake and knew I caused it. I didn't care. I had been so close to getting him back and he wasn't there. How could he not be there? He had already been reincarnated, that was it. Unless the gods decided to make him live again and I know they would never do that.

"Elizabeth?" A woman's voice asked. I looked up through my tears and saw Athena standing behind me.

"What do you want Athena?" I managed to ask.

"I've come to get you to bring you back to Olympus. We need to talk to you," Athena told me.

"I'd rather go to Tarturus than go there right now," I spat. Athena looked at me solemnly.

"Come on Elizabeth." Athena walked over to me and tried to pick me up. I did a back handed slap and before I knew it, I had Cyclone pointed at her throat and a replica of Aegis on my arm.

"I told you. I don't want to go there!" I breathed heavily. Athena looked at me wide-eyed in shock. Then I realized other Olympians had appeared. I looked at them, encouraging them to come and try to take me to Olympus, except for Hermes, Hades, Apollo, Poseidon, Zeus, Hera, and Aphrodite. I had fought Hades, trying to find out what happened to Luke and had cut him up pretty well. Apollo was healing him I guess.

Dionysus took a step forward and I kicked him in the gut. He bent over and I punched him, sending him flying backwards.

"Who's next?" I challenged. The gods looked at each other. Hephaestus stepped forward. He took out a hammer and shield. He delivered hard blows but I blocked every one of them. I faked a block and cut him on the arm. Ichor started to flow down the gods buff arms. I slammed my shield into him and he joined Dionysus in the ground.

After that, it was all a blur. I fought Demeter who was easy defeat. She wasn't much of a fighter. I fought Ares who was pretty tough but I pulled a move that Luke had taught me and disarmed him. I punched him and slammed his head into my shield. I fought Artemis who was quick on her feet. I beat her by faking tripping her and when she was in the air, I slammed my shield into her. Only Athena was left. She took out Aegis and her sword. Our swords met in mid-air. We fought hard and long. It was all a blur. We battered each other. I didn't know if she knew I was a goddess. I could use that to my advantage if she didn't. I felt a tug in the bottom of my stomach and created a wave that reached fifty feet, not including the ten feet from the cliff's edge to the water. All the god's eyes turned big and Athena backed away.

"Tell me what happened to Luke, and I won't send this wave after you. Don't and you know what will happen," I growled. They all looked at each other.

"We came to take you to Olympus to talk about Luke, Elizabeth," Athena said. I looked at her, my nostrils flaring and my heart pounding.

"You better be telling me the truth," I warned them.

"We are," Artemis declared.

"I'll go to Olympus but if you're lying, then, well, you don't want to know what will happen."

"We believe you." Hephaestus held up his hands. "I'll take you there."

"That's okay. I can get there myself," I told them. I changed into my true form and ended up at Olympus in front of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Hera, Hermes and Aphrodite. Zeus, Hades, Apollo Hermes and Hera looked at me incredulously while Poseidon and Aphrodite smiled at me. The other gods showed up and took their seats in a daze.

"How in the world did you do that?" Zeus demanded. Poseidon cleared his throat. Zeus turned to look at Poseidon.

"That would be me and Aphrodite's doing," Poseidon admitted. Zeus looked like he could kill Poseidon and Aphrodite right then and there.

"We did what we needed to. She is part of the reason our side won the war," Aphrodite spoke up. I could feel a change in the air and I believed her. I shook off that feeling and realized she was Charmspeaking. It worked though. Zeus' face softened as he turned to me.

"Why did you go to the Underworld?" Zeus asked.

"You seriously haven't figured it out?" I inquired.

"You went to get Luke," Apollo mumbled. I looked at him and then back at Zeus.

"He's right," I told Zeus. My temper was rising. I wanted them to get to the point.

"I see. Elizabeth, be careful, you're temper is rising and that usually causes destruction."

"Make me," I fired back. Zeus looked at me with a shocked look.

"Elizabeth, maybe you should go to your house and rest," Poseidon suggested.

"Fine," I mumbled. I hesitated then said, "Poseidon, Aphrodite, tomorrow, go to Hestia's and ask to see Logan and Clara. They will tell you what you need to know. Only you two can go though." I turned around and headed to my house. Then I changed my mind. I turned around and headed in the opposite direction. I opened the door to Hestia's house. She wasn't there. I walked to the fridge and opened it. I contemplated what I wanted to drink and chose a diet Dr. Pepper. I was past the uncontrollable crying stage and now I wouldn't talk at all. I went in to check on Logan and Clara. They were tucked in and fast asleep. I went and sat down on the couch. I changed the channels and couldn't find anything. So then I put in romantic movies and watched them. I cried through all of them. First it was the Notebook, then it was The Way We Were, then it was Valley Girl, and then My Chauffeur. When I was done crying and could see again, I got up and went to my room to get use the bathroom.
