"Marry me," Hades repeated. "C-can I think about it?" Hades smiled and got up from his knee. "Of course," he stated happily. He kissed me on the cheek and then vanished. I fell onto the, or my, bed. I stuffed a pillow in my face and screamed. All of a sudden someone pulled the pillow out of my grasp. I sat up and looked around. I sighed to myself when I saw the culprit. "Are you even allowed to be here," I asked Apollo. He flashed his pearly whites, "Nope." I rolled my eyes and hopped off the bed.
"Whoa." Apollo's jaw dropped. I looked at him skeptically, "What?" Apollo smiled even brighter, "You look hot." I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Well, you do. You should wear dresses more often." I slapped him on the shoulder. "Watch it, mister. I'm almost taken." He arched an eyebrow at me. "Oh, really?" I nodded my head. "Yup, Hades proposed." Apollo's eyes practically popped out of their sockets. "He what? I thought you were dating his kid! What's his name…..is it Nick?" My heart panged in my chest. I felt like I was going to throw up. "It's Nico," I whispered. "Yeah, Nico! Since when have you and Hades been…? I mean I know you had a crush on him when you were going through your 'rebel phase' because he had the leather pants and facial hair but Deadly, you're going to marry Hades?"
I felt someone's arm go around my waist and Apollo's face dropped. "What are you doing here?" It was Hades. "I came to check on Deadly," Mr. Sunshine replied. "Well as you can see she's perfectly fine," Dr. Death stated. "She's not fine," Apollo sneered, "Her boyfriend's father just asked her to marry him. How the hell could she be fine?" I was startled by Apollo. He doesn't really stand up for people because he's too full of himself. Hades turned me to face him and gripped my shoulders. "Deadly, is this true?" I thought about it for a moment.
Was it true? Nico and I were not boyfriend and girlfriend. We've never even been on a date. Plus he thinks I'm a brain dead Barbie doll. But what were Snake and Spike talking about before I set them on fire? I remember it had to do with Nico and love, maybe? Why did I throw fire at them again? Okay…so they were talking about Nico and love. Nico and love don't really mix but oh! They were talking about who Nico was in love with! Yeah, and they were about to say the girls name and then I threw fire at them but why? Why didn't I wait to hear the girl's name? That would have been perfect blackmail! Wait, the girl's name began with a D that's why I threw fire at them! I didn't want them to say my name! Well, let's think over this. There's a girl named Delilah from the Hephaestus cabin but she's never talked to Nico. Hmm, there's a Dana from the Demeter cabin but she's all flower power. Then there's …..then there's Demetria.
"No, it's not true. Nico and I…we're barely friends." Hades smiled at me and I forced one back. "Have you come to a decision," he asked a bit shyly. "Well, just answer me this," I took a deep breath, "why do you want to marry me?" Hades cleared his throat, "You are beautiful, smart, and you can kill a monster with a pair of shoes." Apollo, Hades, and I all laughed at the last part. "I'm going to have to say yes." Hades smiled brightly, "Really?" I nodded my head, "Yes, really!" Just as Hades was about to kiss me, Apollo pulled me into a bone crushing hug, "My little girl's getting married!" I rolled my eyes and hugged him back. Then I shoved him off just as fast.
Before Apollo could protest Hades gave me a kiss. "Now when will this event take place," my fiancé questioned. I pursed my lips and thought about for a moment. "Is two weeks too soon?" Hades shook his head, "No, it's perfect." I smiled and gave him a hug. day. "So, Deadly, can I be your Male of Honor," Apollo asked. I rolled my eyes. He is so not stealing my spotlight, especially on my wedding day!
