Chapter 12: Mothers Brother
Teresa's POV
After the meeting I walked to the beach. I didn't like that look in Hades eyes. Someone put their hand on my shoulder making me just. I turned to looked at who touched me.
But it was just Nico.
"Sorry didn't mean to make you jump. But what was that about?"
I put my head on his shoulder.
"Its ok I was wrapped up in my thoughts. I cant tell you and trust me you don't want to know."
He moved so her could put his arm around me. Now my head was on the side of his chest.
"My father told me I have to bring you to the underworld. Do you know why?"
I shook my head.
"No I don't but he knows who my mother really is or was."
I said as I fought my dark side.
"What does that mean?"
I looked up at him. He was looking at me. I wanted to tell him but the fear of him knowing stopped me from telling him the truth.
"I don't know if I'm aloud to tell you."
I said slowly cause I had no idea what to say.
"I know you are hiding something but I will wait till you are ready to tell me."
I looked at him with tears in my eyes. Then I kissed him and that took him by surprise.
He fell backwards and I got on top of him. I looked into his black eyes and I could see the warmth of his soul.
"What are you thinking about?"
Nico asked me. I smiled.
"How warm your eyes are."
I said and his cheeks turned pink. I giggled softly and kissed his lips again.
"Get a room you two."
Percy said as he and Annabeth sat next to us. I rolled off Nico so he could sit up. "Why don't you two get a room."
Nico said and both of their faces turn a bloodred. I chuckled as I leaned against Nico.
"So who was that guy?"
Annabeth asked. And I knew that's why they came.
"My ex."
I said in a low voice. Nico put his arm around me.
"Oh. But what is he? I know he's not like us for sure."
She said.
"Its better if you guys don't know. The Gods don't want you guys to know."
I said and they all were looking at me now.
"Why not?"
Percy said but before I could say anything. Thalia and the big three came over and sat with us.
"Cause its to dangerous. Yes from time to time you guys will run into each other. But most of the time you guys don't know what each other is."
Zeus said as his son came over to.
"But we think you kids should know. Cause we don't want you to go looking for answers. And getting your self killed. It we Greek/Roman Gods are real. Then the other Gods from Egypt and other place are real to. But we try to keep to our selfs and don't bother with each other."
Poseidon said.
"When our kids and their descended's meet there is a magic that finds what you are to them. So that you wont find out what they are. They are not like us. They don't us weapons like us. They do magic and other things we cant do. But that's how they live." Hades said. I knew this already.
But the others took time to understand it. Annabeth had that look like she knew this already but didn't want to believe it.
"So your ex is a descended?"
Percy said and I couldn't help but to chuckle. Making them all look at me.
"Sorry but not his not a descended of the pharaohs. He is a god."
I said and Nico looked at me like he understand now.
"Which god is he?"
Thalia asked. I looked at her.
"He's Anubis is the God of funerals."
Nico looked at me.
"So that was him that came to camp?"
Jason said and I nodded.
"Wow I didn't think you like dog head boys."
Thalia said. But I was the one smiling.
"Its true he has a Jackals head but he can have a human head. But he only shows that to people he likes."
Then I pulled out a picture of him. I passed it around.
They all looked at it then gave it back.
"He's hot girl I don't know why you let him go."
Thalia said. I felt Nico and Hades get mad.
"He dumped me for a girl from his world. When he came today he wanted me back. Cause the girl dumped him."
I said as I put my hand into Nico's. He squeezed it and I smiled at him.
"I'm glade he broke up with me."
I said and Hades said.
"Why is that?"
My face turned bloodred and I had to put my face into Nico's arm.
"Cause I found someone like me and someone that I really want to be with."
I said softly. When I pulled back Nico's face was red and the others looked away.
I was awoke up to someone knocking on my door. I got up still half asleep.
Nico was on the other side of the door. He looked ok till his eyes looked me down.
Then his face turned a bloodred.
"Whats wrong?"
I said as I rubbed my eyes.
"Umm you. . .don't. . .umm. . .have. . .umm. . .a. . .top on."
He said as he looked up. I looked down and he was right.
"Sorry I go and get ready."
Then he left as I started to get ready. When I was done and walked out of the cabin.
Nico was waiting for me.
"So how are we going to get to the underworld?"
I said as I hugged him. His arms slid around me.
"Shadow travel."
Then he picked me up so fast that my eyes went crossed.
"Hold on tight."
He said as he started to run towards the shadows. As we went threw the shadows I started to get cold.
But as soon as I got cold we were in the underworld. We were standing in the shadow of a huge black palace.
The garden was beautiful as we walked into the palace. Skeleton guards were every were.
Hades was sitting on his throne waiting for us. Beside him was a dark skin guy with wings coming out of his back.
"Teresa this is Thanatos."
Hades said. Thanatos looked like my bitch of a mother.
"So you are my little sisters daughter."
He said in a soft voice. Nico was looking from his father to Thanatos to me.
He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"So you are my uncle."
I said and he nodded.
"Teresa I know about the darkness in your soul."
I looked at him.
"I can help you with it. After she died you are then next one to take over."
I looked away.
"I don't want to take her place."
I growled.
"You are coming of age. My sister was that age when she took the role. You will stop aging and slowly you will become a god."
I turned my back.
"I don't want it."
I said.
"You don't have a say in it. Like it or not it will happen. The sooner you except it the soon I can help you with your powers."
He said in a growl back at me. . . .
