Chapter Six

In the morning, I sighed in the beautiful sunlight as it peeked through my curtain. My alarm never went off; meaning it was Saturday. I sat up to find a dark figure sitting in the shadows of my room. I gasped, jumping to the opposite side of my room.

"Ah." The figure breathed. "They've taught you well to fear my presence." I recognised the deep voice to be a male's and stood my ground, ready to fight. "Who are you?" I demanded. The dark figure took some steps into the sunlight. What I saw took my breath away.

"Hades!?" I exclaimed, backing away both in shock and fear. I finally reached my door. "No one's every gotten away from Hades if they ever met him." I remembered Todd saying. I growled. "What do you want?" I asked.

But instead of giving me an answer, he faded into a fine, black dust. And I knew he'd teleported back to the depths of hell where he belonged. I ran out of the cabin, rushing to Todd's. I was almost out of breath by the time I got there.

I banged on Todd's door, shock and fear still rushing through me. "Todd!" I screamed. "TODD!" I screamed again, continuously banging on his door. But, instead of the door opening, a hand was placed on my shoulder. I screamed in fright, turning around to see who the person was.

Todd stood in front of me, concern written all over his face. Tears spilled out to my cheeks and Todd pulled me close to him. "Angel, what's wrong?" He asked, pulling me as close to him as he could while I cried into his chest.

Todd walked me into his cabin and sat me down on the couch. I hugged my knees to my chest while Todd made warm tea to help calm me down; I was still crying.

I drank the tea in tiny sips, recalling all that had happened to Todd. He sat down and listened to me, holding his cup and drinking when I paused to breathe.

Eventually I found Todd sitting next to me, rubbing my back. I leaned on his shoulder, starting to stop crying. Todd looked down at me after I'd stopped crying. He glared out the window for a minute. He stood, walking over to the door.

I followed him and, right before he put his hand on the doorknob, I grabbed his hand. I shook my head, knowing what he meant to do. He looked at me. "Angela. Hades was in your cabin until you woke. He talked to you, but he never went to anyone else's cabin but yours! That means he wants you for something! You need to tell someone." He said.

But I nodded. "I already have, Todd. I told you. You are the only one who would listen to me. And I know how much you worry about me. And I understand. But I know what I can do. I know how to get some information out of him." I mumbled. Todd looked at me in shock. "How?" I pointed at myself. "I can change his emotion to make him tell me everything." I replied.
