Hayden's pov

Hayden woke up to the squabbling of Pain and Panic. It seemed they were outside her door fighting over who would knock. "Move out of the way, you idiot!"Pain screeched. "Lord Hades told me to wake up Hayden!" "He did not!" Panic shrieked back. "He told both of us and I beat you to the door so I get to knock!" The girl rolled her honey colored eyes and got out of bed. She trudged to the door and opened it find Pain holding back Panics hand as he tried to knock. Both were shouting insults at each other. "I'm up", Hayden said. "What do you losers want? I never wake up this early", she said crankily. It wasn't necessarily early, actually, it was about 10:45 am. School at the Dragon Hall started at 8:00am but its not like she even went to school. Hayden's father, Hades never let her leave the big creepy castle they lived in. Why? Because apparently she was a goddess. An immortal goddess. Hades always said that if she left the castle and interacted with *gasp* actual people, then she would become mortal. "If you were a boy like I wanted, you would be able to go outside and remain a god", he would say. "But you're much too weak, just like that mother of yours." He spoke about Hayden's mother like he had never even known her. She sighed. " Lord Hades said you have to meet him in his evil lair", said Pain, snapping her out of her thoughts. "oh! And look presentable!" Piped up Panic. "Hey! I was gonna say that!" Pain yelled. " Too late now!" Cackled panic. Before they could brake out in a fist fight, Hayden slammed the door in their faces. She began to process what she had just been told. "why the heck does he want me to meet him in his lair, of all places, right now?" she wondered. She could think of three things wring with this situation.
1: Hades never woke up before 2:00 pm
2: She had never been allowed to enter or even go near her father's evil lair
3: She had never, in her whole life, actually been told to "look presentable" by her dad
Of course she got dressed anyways, even if she never left the castle, but Hayden knew her dad could care less if she never changed out of her pajamas'. Nevertheless, she did exactly what Pain and Panic had told her to do. She put on some washed out black jeans, leather platform ankle boots , a gray shirt with a breast pocket, and and unbuttoned blue and white plaid flannel. She didn't bother to brush her long blue hair, but tied it in a single messy braid going down her back. After putting on a flower crown of sunflowers that had long since died, she walked out of her room. Hayden hurried through the winding hallways of the broken down castle with one thought going through her head: Is he actually gonna let me go outside? As she reached the door to her father's evil lair, she braced herself for the usual criticism and knocked on the door. As soon as her knuckles hit the old wood, it burst open, revealing an irritated looking Hades. "Took you long enough", he grumbled. "If you were a boy like I wanted, you would have been ready 10 minutes ago." Hayden said nothing as she looked at the ground, hoping to hide the hurt that shone in her eyes. Hades had been criticizing her like this for as long as she could remember. she was used to it by now, but it still stung knowing that her father would probably trade her in for a son if he got the chance. "Come in, come in." Hades ushered his daughter through the door. Hayden didn't know what she was expecting, but as she looked around the room, only one word came to mind. "Lame" she muttered. "what was that?" Hades genuinely hadn't heard what she said. "O-oh nothing", Hayden lied. " Just clearing my throat." The girl looked around the room once again. Tables filled with jars of of weird smelling substances, probably failed attempts to make potions. Crumpled pieces of paper littered the floor. Hayden spotted a bottle in the corner of the room filled with what she hoped wasn't pee. And last but not least, a dartboard with a badly drawn picture of Hercules taped to it. Hades hadn't just lost his power when he was banished to the Isle. He had also lost his dignity. "Soo..." Hayden started. " What exactly did you need when you called me here?" Her father began to speak. " Well, you and four other brats have been chosen to go to school in Auradon..." Hades continued to talk, but Hayden wasn't even listening anymore. "Auradon?! I was just hoping to step outside the front door for a few seconds and now I'm gonna go to school in Auradon with a bunch of people that probably hate me! What ever happened to baby steps!?" She thought. " I wonder who the other four kids ar-" " Are you even listening Hayden!?" Her father shouted. "No" ,Hayden answered truthfully. Hades face contorted and for a second Hayden thought her was gonna change again. She had just started to panic when Hades ran his fingers through his blue hair. " I'm cool...Im cool", he said, talking to himself. Hayden let out a quiet sigh of relief. "Anyways" he continued. "I was saying that Maleficent 's kid had been chosen too. And she's probably got some evil plan to try and get revenge., but I have an even eviler plan. I need you to play along and do whatever good ol' Maleficent says, but at the last minute, you got to turn on those little brats and do whatever you can to got me on top!", he said in his best evil voice, finishing it of with a cackle. "Capeesh?" "Capeesh", Hayden answered. "Now go and pack a bag. Be ready a little faster this time would ya?" Hayden nodded and made her way back to her room. She was determined to prove to her father she was good enough. He didn't need a son. She really didn't understand the concepts of good and evil, in fact she really didn't understand the concepts of anything humane, since she'd only ever known her dad, Pain, and Panic, who weren't even human. But she did know one thing: If her father wanted her to be evil, the evil she would be.
