A/N: This chapter contains just one fact from the book: the mention of the Stygian Lake, (which, in case you care, is where the band the Styx took there name). Anyway, you don't really have to know about it to enjoy the chapter. It's just a little added detail.

Canto VI

As I came out of my stupor, I noticed that I was at the edge of a massive lake. I was reminded for a moment of the pool of water in front of the hotel, where I had been standing just hours before.

"The Stygian Lake," Danny said, startling me, as he came up behind me, as if from nowhere.

"It's amazing," I told him, as I stared in awe at the lake.

"I bet you want to know where we are."

I nodded.

"The fifth Circle; for those who had wrath."

"You're not hurrying through this circle," I told him, noticing that he didn't seem on edge as he had before.

"I like the people here," he told me, as we walked a little further, toward the lake.

As we walked, we came upon two women. They looked as though they had once been beautiful, but Hell obviously hadn't been good for their looks.

Danny walked up to one of them, and, much to my surprise embraced one of them in a hug. I found myself a bit jealous, though forced myself to forget the foolish feeling.

Before I could say anything, Danny said, "This is my wife, Tess."

"Hello," I said, remembering the name Terry had used.

"And this is Isabelle. Him and Rusty were…"

"Romantically involved," Isabelle spoke up.

"Right," Danny said. "Romantically involved."

Rather than get into the details of these strangers' past lives, I changed the subject.

"Why are they here?" I asked, noticing that these women seemed nice enough.

Danny smiled. "Have you ever heard the phrase, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'?"

"Yes," I answered.

"Well, it's true. Me and Rusty may have made a few mistakes that may have caused them to get a little-"

"Very angry," Isabelle interrupted.

"Yeah, well, we made up for our mistakes," Danny said. "Eventually." He took a moment and then turned to me... "We should go."

Though I was curious to know why these women had been so angry with the two men, I decided that some things were best left unknown.

"Bye Tess," Danny said. "See you around Isabelle."

And with that the world became blurry again, and though I was used to it by now, the sudden darkness took me by surprise.
