Chapter 6

"That was delicious! Thank you." I say, scooting back from the table.
"It was a pleasure, Kyra." Persephone says, with a smile.
It was only the three of us. Hades had been called away, much like last time, to a meeting of sorts concerning Underworld business.
"So how long are you staying?" she asks.
"I'm not sure. We might just head to camp a little early. I wouldn't want to burden you." I say.
"Oh, it's no burden at all! Do you know how boring it gets down here? The only girls are the maid servants and they don't even talk." Persephone pouts.
"Yea. I kinda ran into that last summer." I say, remembering when I screamed bloody murder because the skeletal French maid had woken me up in Nico's bedroom last summer.
"As much as I hate to break this conversation up," Nico says, "We should figure out where exactly we're going or staying."
"Okaaayy." I sigh, dramatically.
"I must get going as well. I have some things I need to take up to Mother. That's the only reason I'm here right now." Persephone says.
I hear Nico say something under his breath but I don't understand it.
"It was nice meeting you, Lady Persephone." I say.
"Oh, no need to call me lady. Persephone works just as well. Being called lady just makes me feel old." she says, grinning.
Nico starts to open his mouth to make a smart-alack comment, but elbow him hard in the ribs. It would do us no good for him to be a dandelion today.
"See you two later!" she says, wiggling her fingers and walking out of the dining room.
When she's gone, or at least out of earshot, Nico says, "Do you know how tempting that was?"
I shake my head and roll my eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.
"What did you say? When she said she was down here to get some things for Demeter?" I ask.
"Things for Demeter my ass." Nico says, smirking.
"Come on. Let's go figure out our plans." I say, grabbing his hand and dragging him away from the bacon.
A/N:
Short and a little silly. Last night I was nearly having a panic attack. I had changed my password Sunday night and had completely forgotten that I had changed it until I tried to unlock my computer last night and ended up entering the wrong password. I was freaking out, because EVERYTHING is on my computer, all my fics and stuff, and to make the situation worse, it was Monday night and I was going to get everything ready to post today's chapter.
I finally remembered it at about 11:30 and I was in the middle of singing along to a song by Lit. Go figure. Anyway, I opened up my computer and entered it in and viola, it unlocked. I felt like such a fucking idiot. I made it the most simple thing to remeber... Well, simple to remember in my mind. But, all is well now and here's your chapter!
XOXO,
