I was writing nonstop yesterday, and now I am uploading all of these chapters because I will not be able to for a long while or so. Please comment and review!

"We're here." She said, and I felt the pain in my gut subside. Then I saw where we all were, and my heart started to pound.

I knew we were going to Tartarus, but I hadn't expected this much darkness. The ground itself was rock, obsidian cut and pointed all over. Before us, in the darkness of the abyss, stood an enormous structure, a mansion of sorts, all in red. Astraeus' favorite color.I thought sadly. Selene pushed me forward as Nico did the same to Percy.

We entered through blood red double-doors, Astraeus' name etched onto the top of the doorway. We entered a hallway, and Selene guided us through the maze.

She frowned. "Something isn't right. He isn't alone. Take out your weapons, you'll need them." She let go of me and I grabbed my sword, my dagger in my left hand. Percy uncapped his ballpoint pen that turned into a sword, Anaklusmos, Riptide and he held it lightly, still unsteady by the faces of his two friends behind him. We entered and archway and we found what she had mentioned.

He wasn't alone. Beside Astraeus, stood Hyperion, a knife against Astraeus' neck.

"Seems like a family meeting, doesn't it?" Hyperion grinned. I had no idea how I knew it was him, but somehow I could sense which titan was where.

"Astraeus!" I yelled out when Hyperion shoved the knife harder against the soft skin of Astraeus' neck. I almost ran to him, but Selene grabbed my arm and held me back. Helios held his sword in his hand tightly, the Stygian Iron cold around him.

Hyperion's eyes went to me. He laughed, a horrible sound compared to Astraeus' melodic voice. "You must be Janus, Astraeus' favorite. He is very fond of you, and I saw that you both shared a very romantic moment." I felt my face burn as the others looked at me with shock and surprise. "Do not try to deny it. I could show the others how it went, if you like." My mouth went dry. If they saw how I held onto Astraeus, how I kissed him, they would see me as a traitor. He took my silence as an answer. "Very well. Now, the reason you are all here is because I want you to eliminate the gods for me."

I felt myself suck in a breath."How? I don't know how to fight." He shook his head at me, coldness washing over me more than before.

"You will not be joining the battle, dearest." I felt my stomach tighten. Astraeus called me that once, and I hadn't minded, but the way Hyperion said it made it revolting. "I want to see what he sees in you, and have what he wants."

I gulped back terror. "And what does he want, oh mighty Hyperion?" I said, my throat dry and making it hard to speak, but he hears me, and again he smiled.

"Oh you know, you. All of you." I couldn't stop the feeling of revulsion pulse through me. He wanted my body. He wanted to touch me and mess with me and do everything that I would never do with a monster like him. He kept looking over my body, licking his lips, and I started to shake. "He will be able to spend time with you if you agree, and only if you agree." My head snapped back to look at Astraeus, the pain in his eyes, in his body, ruining the melodic posture he always seemed to carry. If I could talk to him, then what else could be worse. "Every other day you will spend with me. The alternate days you shall spend with him, knowing fully well that you are mine. So, do you agree to the terms?"

I tried to swallow down any retorts. "On one condition." I didn't really think that he would grant me it, so I was surprised when he even looked at me.

"Which is, my dearest?" I hated the way he said it, I hated the way he looked at me, I hated him, I hated everything about him. But I had to do this.

I walked towards him and knelt down before him. He was surprised by it, and waited for my answer. "I wish to spend the first day with Astraeus."

me: pretty intense, huh?

Jasmin: I hated it.

Annabeth: Same, mostly because I couldn't do anything.

Thalia: Wait, so you liked Astraeus, and you never told me?

Jasmin: *steps back* um, i can explain-

Selene: Calm down, she didn't tell anyone until now.

Thalia: *raises eyebrow* Oh, and how do you know?

Selene: *sighs* you will find out later on. It wasn't because she wanted us to though, it only happened because it had to.

Thalia:Rright. I believe you.

me: come on girls, don't be arguing at the end of every chapter, or else my brother will-

Thalia,Jasmin,Annabeth, and Selene: NOOO!

me:*pauses* Okay then, stop.
