With Nerita passed out on the floor, was there really much I could do? Maybe, but no. My mind instantly focused on Artemis.
"Fools! You think a Truth Duster works on a goddess! Ha!" guffawed Artemis, eyes black as stone.
"You bear a lie, Enyo!" Mason says across the room.
Fiona clutches onto Mason's sleeve and gasps at the bloody goddess in front of us.
"True, I have accompanied Ares many a time . . . but, truth has it well! I'm sick of it, no one knows me and I'm nearly out of existence, my power is weak. But Harintok has given kindly, and I serve him and when we win - I will be powerful, honored, so much more important!" Enyo's jagged hair sharpens like knives and her hands grow red.
"You're mad!" I yell into her face.
"Haha! YOU are mad...ly in LOVE!" guffaws Enyo, swooping low and pokes a nail into Nerita and lifts her up.
"No," I mutter. I knew her plan.
"I don't care about her, you realize that, do you not? Her very soul could be out of existence, dead, not even in the Underworld," Enyo snarls. "Just . . . gone. With one flick of my stomach."
I gasp in horror. She lifts up her bony shirt, and from the edges of her stomach is a crimson whirlpool. "Tarturus."
"Very well, demigod!" Enyo laughs, and Nerita shrinks into size. "One . . . flick."
"NO!" I leap for Nerita and try reaching them.
"Is it what you want? Is it what you wish? For poor Nerita Grace to be safe? Well, I only will give you ONE offer, unless Harintok says else. You must slay all you passed out companions and cut Fiona Jackson and her little boyfriend there . . . until they bleed to pieces. Then, eat their heart, and crush their souls, I'll simply show you how! After all that, kill yourself, and Nerita will not go to Tarturus and . . . " Enyo babbles.
Her earpiece crackles to life. I catch a few words, "What . . . too much . . . Idiot! Now they'll never . . . my hands . . . weakling!"
"Fine. Kill yourself. Done," Enyo mutters disagreeably.
I wish I could, but it would harm all of us. How do I get out of this? My mom, Minerva, somehow spoke to me. Be wise of the wish, and wish of the wise, but the most wisdom is from within.
"Fine. But I like dying my own way. Take me to the Empire State. I like saying, when I die, my death should be memorable. If I have a certain death, then I should be jumping off a tall building and flying all the way until I die," I smile, and it was true.
"Harintok says to wait. What for, I don't know. But the offer will be met and you will both die!" she bursts into laughter. "Forget about what I just said."
She sprays pepper in my face and I black out into spheres and my vision is purple, then black.

I panick. Only man left. Gotta protect Fiona. Only man left. Gotta protect Fiona. Only. Man. Left. Liam's out and - blackness. Pure, bloody blackness.
