Author's Note: Okay! This is the chapter for this week! Oh and oh! Its Nico's POV! :DDD
The witch kicked me out of her house after destroying her tea set and yelling at her. I know it's not exactly nice but when you're being ask to hand over all of your memories of your older sister who just recently died. What Is up with that witch… I hate Hei Ye.
Hei Ye, that witch she always asks for payments for her services. She loves playing tricks to her costumers often people say yes due to her offers but this time I just have to say no to that witch. It doesn't matter now anyhow. I'm just going to go back to the alley where I left Mary and if she isn't there then she's in trouble and I'm going to save her and if she's there and all the better. I do hope she's really there though. I don't want anything bad happening to her especially after what Hei Ye said about the shadows not being part of my father's domain.
As I walk towards the alley I get more nervous and nervous as if I was expecting that Mary wouldn't be there that some thugs or what so ever kidnapped her or worse monster saw her then tried to eat her. I don't want any of that to happen. I did tell her to scream my name if she ever gets in trouble and she hasn't screamed it yet or I'm just so deaf I didn't hear it… Mary please be safe.
I reach the alley and found it empty except for the occasional trash. I was about to yell Mary's name when suddenly someone grab my arm. I imagine a big wall of skeletons coming from the ground and punching whoever grabs my arm and it happened. I jumped back a little and saw that I have 5 thugs to fight and they sure didn't ran after they saw the skeletal wall that I built. These guys know about demigods..and they aren't normal thugs..I doubt they're even human.
"Just come to us like a gullible child and we promise we won't do anything to you or your sister." One of them said. They have Mary…I need to think of a plan in order for me to rescue Mary without these thugs catching me..or should I let them catch me so I could figure out where their hideout is? I got it! That's exactly what I'll do.
"Fine I'll come with you." I said. They smiled and then someone approach me got my sword and threw it on the ground. Another one grab my arm and then he started dragging me, starting the journey towards their hideout.
They might think that I'm as weak as Mary is but they sure are wrong, because the moment I see Mary they are so toast.
Their hideout is nothing that I have imagined it would be. The thing is I thought it would be some old abandoned chinese house but instead it was a big mansion. Who is this man who wants Mary and I? What does he want with us?
"Go in!" One of the thugs said as I stopped to gather everything that I was seeing. I quickly followed his orders as to not raise suspicions. The thugs led me to a labyrinth of doors and hallways and the next thing I know we are walking downstairs towards a basement. The thugs knocked at the door and a girl wearing an all-black dress with a blonde hair and dark brown eyes to match her clothes greeted us.
" I am expecting you Nico di Angelo." She said with a smile on her face. She let me enter her basement room. The first thing that I saw upon entering it was the dolls. The room is filled with dolls in every corner, staring at me as if they were alive. At the middle of the room sat Mary, her eyes are closed and her hands are tied to her chair.
"You see Nico di Angelo this past few months I haven't been able to sleep nicely and all that is because of your shadow traveling. Do you know who I am hmm?" The girl asked while raising one of her eyebrows. She was looking directly at me with her eyes.
"I do not know you and I can't see the connection between you sleeping soundly and my shadow traveling." I replied.
"Well..Nico di Angelo..Why don't I explain it piece by piece so that even a dog like you would understand hmm?" She said and once again she has one of her eyebrows raise and her eyes staring at me with a cold icy stare. I'm starting to hate this girl and worst of all..she called me a dog.
"Let me start by introducing my name. I am KimKi Yu, my mother is a chinese business woman and of course my father is Erebus. My father is the personification of shadows. He and his wife control everything that has something to do with darkness. It is our duty to make sure that there is enough shadows, enough darkness when there is light. We balance the world. Do you know how hard that is? No, of course you don't you're just a dog of the gods after all. I am here to take the price of what you have to pay for taking for granted what is not yours and that is your father's most beautiful daughter. From what I heard her mother is the famous Agnes. I use to fight with Agnes when I was young but of course she got older and I stay the same, such a pity that is."
"What are you talking about? What price? I haven't use anything that isn't mine for granted!" I said.
"Oh really? You are always shadow traveling are you not?" She asked and once again one of her eyebrows is raised.
"That has nothing to do with this!" I demanded.
"You are very wrong about that Nico di Angelo because that has a lot to do with this!"
