And so I just stood there. My mouth was slightly open in shock and my head had tilted to the side. Will Solace?! Of all the people on this earth, it had to be Will?! There had to be some kind of mistake. Surely it couldn't be the Will Solace that was kidnapped. Could it be? There was no way.

"Umm…" I started, "Is there anyone else?"

Aphrodite scowled. "What part of 'soul mate' do you not understand?" She asked angrily.

"Right… Well… We have a problem. You see, Will has been kidnapped by an unknown god." I told her.

"That's not my problem. I have the belt. Goodbye!" She shoved us out the door and we heard locks latching behind us.

"This sucks." Orion commented.

"Royally." I agreed.

Philana poked me with her cold, wet nose. I know who kidnapped Will Solace.

"Really?" I asked, "How long have you known?"

Since he was kidnapped… She said guiltily.

"WHAT?!" I exclaimed, outraged, "You KNEW this WHOLE TIME?!"

Shut it! She snapped, If I told you it was Persephone, you would have gone looking for him and wasted all your time!

"PERSEPHONE?!" Oh my god. Epiphany. "We wouldn't have to have looked for the belt if you had just told us!"

How was I supposed to know that Persephone loved him? Besides, once you go on a quest for the gods, you have to finish it, otherwise they will kill you without a moments hesitation.

"Oh, and she loved him. How fricken' sweet. Why didn't you just tell me?" I asked. I was totally angry by now.

I already told you. Now stop fighting me and let's go to Antarctica.

I sighed and agreed. I filled a very amazed Orion in and we all decided that Hartsfield-Jackson International would be the best place to search for a pathway to Antarctica, since there were obviously no flights to Persephone's temporary lair.

When we got there, night was just beginning to fall. We made our way to the place where we came out the first time.

"Okay, now what?" I asked.

"I don't know… Look for a hidden trap door, I guess." Orion replied. The two of us were on our hands and knees looking for the trapdoor when I heard a security officer.

"Hey!" He shouted, "No dogs aloud! Get your greyhound outta here!"

"I found it!" Orion exclaimed, waiving. I looked at Philana, who was frozen in fear.

"Come on!" I told her, and we ran for Orion. He was crouched over a hole in the ground.

"Get 'em!" The security officer instructed his colleagues.

He was too late, though. Orion, Philana and I had already jumped into the trapdoor. We were in the underworld. We climbed back up the bone ladder and opened it. There was a beautiful grassy meadow. "We're here." I said, climbing out of the hole. My friends followed.

Demeter immediately greeted us. "Oh," She said, "Thank goodness you are here. Do you have the name of my daughter's love? She hasn't left the side of that Will Solace kid since she kidnapped him!"

She didn't seem too happy about Will. "Well," I said, "You're not going to like this news." She furrowed her brow.

"What do you mean? Has my beautiful Persephone no match in the world?" She asked.

"She does have a match, but I don't think you'll be too fond on him." I explained.

"OH!" She screeched, "It's HADES! That SCOUNDREL! How dare he think he's good enough for my daughter!"

"Calm down, Demeter!" Orion said, "It's not him. It's Will."

"There are millions of Will's in this world." She retorted.

"Will Solace." I told her.

She sighed. "Well, it's better than nobody. I'll go break her the news."

"We'll come." I asserted.

"Fine."

We entered in a cute little hut where Persephone was cooking some delicious food. Will was lounging on the bed. He stood up when he saw us.

"Persephone, dear, your demigods have found your true love." Demeter said.

"Oh, wonderful!" Persephone exclaimed, "Who is it?"

I pointed to Will. Will raised his eyebrows. "No way." He said in disbelief.

"Yeah way. Now stop making it forever springtime." I demanded of his lover.

"With pleasure!" She exclaimed, "The temperature on earth will return to normal in a few days."

"Thank you." I replied.

"So, brother, why did Persephone kidnap you in the first place?" Orion asked. Demeter left.

"Because," Said Persephone, taking Will's hand, "I fell in love with him since the first time I saw him!"

"Aww! I love you, pookiebear!" Will said, kissing his new girlfriend.

"Not as much as I love you, sugarpie!" She said.

"Really," I asked, "in front of your brother?"

"Sorry, baby brother." Will said, walking over to Orion and messing up his hair. Orion looked traumatized.

"Well," Said Persephone, "I need to get back to Hades before the world explodes… literally. I'll visit you every summer, puddingface! I promise!" Orion, Philana and I turned and left when we saw Persephone and Will start their make-out session.

"That was disturbing on so many levels." Orion commented.

"I thought it was sweet," I argued, "true love!"

Orion rolled his eyes. I smiled. "Let's get back to Chiron. He's probably wondering where we are."

"Agreed." Orion said.

Hey, readers! It's not over yet! I'll have one more story chapter after this, followed by a chapter on the kidnapping of Will Solace. Then I'll have one more fluff chapter of Will x Persephone and that'll be it! Love ya! -Lauren

(Edit- I may make a sequel... who knows?) =3
