I exit quickly, knowing Hades would be waiting for me outside. He's waiting, leaning on the walls with his arms crossed, and his eyebrow raised. The darkness of the shadows seems to envelope him, making him almost invisible.
"Well?" He says, cocking his head as he asks the question.
"I'm in. I'm accompanying their quest. Now can I have the pleasure of knowing my own?"
"Hey, I'm not sure I like you with a soul, so much attitude. You know, I could always take your soul ba-"
"NO! I'm sorry, Hades."
"Good. Now, you're going to everything in your power to stop them from getting that lightning bolt. It was extremely hard to recruit someone to steal that for me."
"You did that!?"
"But of course, why do you ask?"
"I could go and tell Chiron right now."
A flash of panic traces across his eyes before he relaxes and smirks.
"Then say goodbye to your feelings." He raises his hand, and I feel excruciating pain.
"I… I… I won't tell, p…please." I say gasping for air and grabbing my chest where the pain is coming from. He chuckles darkly, squeezing his hand together tightly. The pain gets worse, it feels as if someone had just ripped my heart out of my chest. He lets go, and relief floods me instantly. I collapse to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Don't. EVER. Say that again." He states. I nod my head, unable to say a word.
"You are to stop them from finding the boat, direct them away from our lair. Do everything in your power to stop them from finding the bolt!"
I nod.
"Otherwise…" he murmurs, threatening to close his hand as a dull throb starts in my chest again.
"I will, I won't. I will do it, I won't let them find it! I promise."
"Let's hope so." He mutters, turning away and fading into the shadows.
I sink to the floor and begin to weep.
Unknown P.O.V
Aww poor little baby. How pathetic. How is she going to help us bring down Olympus!? Oh gods Hades, I sure hope you made the right choice.
BANG! I turn around, startled by the sudden noise. It's a stupid demigod.
"It's you?" He stares, his eyes bulging out of his head. I stare at him back, then do something I never would have done before. I kill him.
"Goodbye lovely" I whisper, giving him the kiss he always wanted. "See you in Tartarus."
I start cackling manically, and soon I can't stop. Tears of laughter roll down my cheeks as my lovely lies on the ground behind me, his eyes lifeless and staring into nothing, a trickle of blood dripping down his chin.
"You'll be next Chiron." I giggle. "Oh you will."
Lily's P.O.V
"What's happened?" I shout, alarmed by the sudden commotion.
That's when I saw Skye come up to me, sobbing.
"I saw him, I saw him. I went to early and they hadn't," hiccup, "covered him up yet!" She hiccups again and a fresh new flood of tears flow down her cheeks. I hug her tightly,
"Who?"
She stares into my eyes, her bright blue ones connecting with my golden brown ones. She gulps.
"Liam Stoll."
Enjoy lovelies.
