Unknown P.O.V
"I've decided to hire a new apprentice." Hades says to me.
"What? Have I done something wrong?" Dread fills me and I start trembling slightly. No one comes back from a Hades job… I'm going to die.
"Don't be stupid." He says coolly, "you're just going to have a helper."
I sigh, visibly relaxing in relief. "Oh, thank the high gods."
He chuckles slightly, sensing his good mood, I ask cautiously, "so, who is it?"
He leans over and whispers in my ear, his cool minty breath tickling the curves of my ear lobe.
"Bianca Jones."
I gasp, "This is going to be fun."
Jessica's P.O.V
Oh my gods! I can't believe I did that. I grin madly. How did I seem so confident?
'Ahhhhh! I can't believe I did that. Why am I feeling this way? What is this feeling?' I think to myself.
That's when I see the crow. It's meeting time. I slip away from the dining room and meet Hades outside.
"Why are you so happy?"
I gulp. What do I do? Lie? Truth? Lie? Truth? Lie? Lie.
"Oh, the group's getting along great, that's all. Not too well though, I should be able to defeat them easily." I didn't mention Lucas' strength, or the fact that he seemed to be growing on me.
He nods, lost in thought.
"Good." He murmurs.
"Well, I should be going." I say clearing my throat. "Wouldn't want them to notice I'm gone."
"Yeah, you go. Watch for the crow."
I nod, but before I can say a word he melts into the darkness...
Gone.
