Chapter 18:Darla`s Secret.
Darla walked into a coffee house, she ordered herself some coffee then sat down and read the paper. An old looking man walked over to her. His grey hair was curly and long, he had wrinkles all over his face and wore a plaid shirt tucked into his grey pants.
"How dare you?" he said abruptly.
"How dare I what?" Darla asked.
"You don't know who I am, Do you?"
"Some creepy old man, who-"
"SHUT UP!" he yelled his voice turned deep and demined like.
"Hades….." Darla whispered shocked.
"Yes. You were supposed to keep that boy from finding out about who he is. What happened!?"
"I`m-I'm sorry. I tried but there was this monster and then Annabeth and Percy sent Dylan to this weirdo camp, now he is talking to us through this screen and fighting people, I tried though I told him that I would call child services if he kept telling his son all those stories. I told him he was making Dylan into a loon and-"
"This kid is a rare type of demi god, there are only three other known demi gods like him, they are very powerful and smart! He`ll be twice as smart because his mother is the daughter of Athena! He was for told to battle with a god that could be me! You begged me not to kill him! You told me you could keep him from knowing if I let you live again!"
"I kept him from knowing for 15 years!"
"THAT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH! You don't understand he will be more powerful than any other god or demi god! I should just kill you now!"
"But you won't. I`m the only one who can save you."
"….Get him and bring him home, get him asleep and convince him this was all just a dream."
Darla looked hesitantly at the ground.
"You don't want to become my enemy. " Hades told her. "I will end your life and force you to be tormented for eternity."
"…I`ll do it. But answer me a question, please. Is it because I let Dylan find out who he is that my sister was attacked?" Darla asked.
"No." he replied simply.
"Why then? I know you know I can see it in your eyes. Why was she attacked?"
"IT DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!" Hades yelled.
"She is my sister! I know it doesn't seem like it, but I'm not completely heartless. I care about Annabeth and Dylan…..and the other two slightly. So if you were the one who-"
Then he just disappeared.
