Chapter 11 (Sierra's P.O.V.)
Harry and Danny had built us a small campfire on the beach. We all sat in a circle around it, trying to stay warm and try to forget the fact that Lou is gone, but I always felt so uncomfortable. It felt like someone was watching me. I looked to my left where Harry was warming is hands and Dougie sat next to him, watching me intensely.
"Sierra, are you alright?" I looked to my right, removing my attention from Dougie and to my dear friend Felicia.
"I'm fine."
"You sure don't look like it." Tom added. I rolled my eyes. Why do they act so alike? Why don't they just get married already? I looked back at Dougie, but he wasn't looking at me, he was now staring into the fire. I don't deserve to be loved, not after the sins I've done.
"So what do we do now that Lou is gone?" Danny asked. I looked at Felicia who looked as clueless as me.
"I'm not sure, Lou was still helping us…oh god, how are we suppose to rescue Aphrodite's daughter." She covered her face and Tom pulled her into a hug.
"It's alright, we'll find a way." He told her as he rubbed her back. Oh what I'd give to be loved by someone like that, but I don't deserve it.
"So that's it, we just give up?" Dougie asked. We all looked at him.
"What do you expect us to do? We have no magical assistance, and our weapons aren't the best to fight Hades." Felicia said.
"But we have the gods, they know we're trying to save Aphrodite's daughter. They should be willing to help." He responded.
"Mate, they hate us. Why would they come here and help us? What could possibly get their attention?" Harry asked. Then it hit me.
"Shut up! You're just scared to face the gods!" Both Harry and Dougie's jaws dropped open. "You were never willing to save the daughter of Aphrodite!" I yelled at Harry.
"What?" I jumped on to my feet.
"You're nothing like your father. You're scared and weak…you're a coward!" I pushed him into the sand.
"Sierra!" Felicia yelled at me. I ignored her and continued with my plan.
"You and your father are weak. You both will always run from battle!" I yelled at him as I hovered over him.
"What is she doing?" I heard Danny ask.
"All you do is bully, you have no bravery."
"SILENCE!" Bingo. I stepped away from Harry and turned to the ocean to face a dark tan man with black hair. He had leather clothes with a duster over them, and a pair of black shades that covered his eyes. Ares. "How dare you defile me and my son." He said angrily. I rolled my eyes.
"Like you really cared, you're a god! None of you care about your children." A spear appeared in his hand and he charged at me.
"STOP!" Dougie yelled as he stepped in front of me to protect me, which surprised me. Why are you protecting me? Ares stopped and the spear vanished.
"You got a lot of gut to stop me kid." Ares said.
"Yeah and stupid." I said under my breath.
"Sierra clearly bullied Harry because she knew you'd appear." Felicia spoke up.
"Oh and how do you know that?" Ares asked her.
"You have a soft spot for kids." I said. He looked at me and glared.
"And a soft spot for the woman you love." Ares turned to Tom.
"How do you know I love Aphrodite?" Ares asked and Danny scoffed.
"Mate, you're a god, people write stories about you all the time, revealing your love life." Danny explained.
"Well what do you want?" He asked me.
"Help, our guardian, Lou, was captured. We need assistance to rescue Aphrodite's daughter." I said. Ares became quiet.
"Come on dad, can't you help us a little?" Harry finally spoke up. Ares turned to him. I could tell Harry was giving him the puppy eyes. Ares sighed.
"Alright, but only a little."
"Yes!" Tom and Danny said as they high-fived each other.
Ares waved his hand in front of him and a shoe box appeared in his hands.
"For Tom, he gets his father's shoes." He handed Tom the shoe box and Tom opened it. A pair of black high top converses shot out of the box with wings on the sides flying a 150 miles per hour.
"Amazing." Tom said with a smiled and he grabbed the shoes and put them back into the box.
"For Danny, his father's shield and sword." He handed Danny a gold shield with a sun engraved into it, and a golden sword.
"For Dougie, a pack of bolts." He handed Dougie a black container that was at least four feet long.
"Bolts?" Dougie asked with a confused and scared look, but Ares didn't answer.
"For my son, my own spear and magic armor." He handed Harry a silver spear, with a golden point, and a golden chain bracelet.
"What's the bracelet for?" Harry asked.
"It's magical armor that protects you from physical, mental, and magical attacks." Ares answered.
"Cool, thanks…dad." Harry said, smiling at his father. Then he slipped the bracelet around his left wrist. Ares continued passing weapons out.
"For the daughter of Athena, her spear and shield." Ares handed Felicia a silver spear and a small shield with an owl engraved into it.
"Thank you sir." Felicia said, bowing her head. Then he turned to me and I looked away.
"I know. I don't receive any of my mother's weapons." I said.
"Wait…" I looked up to see Dougie speaking to Ares. "…she deserves something from her mother. It wasn't her fault Hades tricked her." Ares looked at him with a surprised look and Ares turned to me.
"Hades tricked you?" Ares said. I looked away. "I must inform this with Zeus, but first…" He pulled a bow and a pack of arrows off his back and handed them to me. "Artemis would want you to have this." I looked up at him with a confused look.
"Wait…why would she want me to have this?" He didn't answer. He turned to Harry.
"Until we meet again, my son." Harry nodded. Ares turned away and waved his hand in front of him. A red portal opened and he stepped into it, disappearing in front of our eyes.
"Well he was nice." Tom finally said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, for once." Felicia said.
"Maybe it was because he saw Harry." Danny suggested and Felicia shrugged.
"Maybe." Felicia turned to me. "Sierra, you okay?" I looked from my new weapon in my hands and looked at Felicia.
"Um…yeah." I slipped the pack of arrows on my back and put the bow over my shoulder.
"Well, since we have these weapons, let's go save the damsel in distress..." Harry said with a grin. Tom, Danny, and Felicia nodded.
"The door to the Underworld lies in the 'H' of the Hollywood sign." Felicia said.
"Alright, to the giant 'H'!" Tom said in a cheerful tone. Felicia led the way, followed by Tom, Danny, and Harry.
Before I followed, I looked down at the sand. Mother, why would you want me to have your weapon when you don't care about me?
"Sierra?" I looked up and saw Dougie. He looked worried.
"Let's just go." I turned away but he grabbed my arm.
"She does care about you. That's one more person who loves you."
"But I did lose two." I said not looking at him.
"Lou will be missed, but I'll never stop loving you." Tears trickled down my face but I didn't let him see.
"Let's go." I tried to walk but I couldn't move I was afraid he'd see my tears.
"Sure." He took my hand and led me to the others.
