The Stolen Jewel of Hecate

Chapter 42

This boy really wants to play with two girls? Says he likes one then goes to another and says he likes them too. Ugh. I hate men. "I need to transform, but where am I going to find Hephaestus?" I asked myself out loud. Next thing you know my necklace starts to glow. I pick up my pendent in my hands and look at it. What's it doing? It starts floating out of my hands and into a direction, pulling my neck along."Hey!" I shouted. I was trying to pull my pendant back so it would stop pulling my neck, but it was too strong. I wouldn't be surprised if I have a bruise after this. It's pulling me down taking lots of different turns down different alleys. It seems the farther we go the brighter the necklace got. It got super bright when we got to an abandoned building on the outskirts of town then all of a sudden the pendant stopped glowing, stopped pulling away, It regained normal form around my neck and let gravity work again. Am I supposed to go in? I open the creaky door and start looking around. The only light I had was the light coming through the windows that were boarded up. This would be a great time for my pendant to be glowing. I turn a corner and I start hearing some sort of struggle. I see a purple light shining under a closed door as I got closer to the said door the struggle got louder. I grabbed onto the rusty doorknob and slowly open the door. What I saw was scary. Hephaestus tied to a support pole struggling and a man laughing. The rope did not look normal. If it was he would be out of that in seconds. It was all black and it had some type of purple aura or something around it. The man on the other hand dressed in a purple suit with a large purple cape draped behind him. He had his hair slicked back under a black trilby hat. He had a torch in his hand and it was glowing purple to match the rest of his outfit. He was floating a solid foot off the ground. He was surrounded by the same purple mist that was in the classroom. Is this the guy who stole it? I looked back at Hephaestus who noticed me by the door and he was trying to silently communicate with me. I pointed to him then at the necklace and nodded hoping he understood that I wanted to transform. He nodded at me so I hope he understood. I whispered "Hephaestus give me strength," and he was set free into my necklace. Sadly the man noticed the bright light coming from me transforming and he turned around and stared me dead in the eyes. His face of concern for what's happening turned into a smug look. "We finally meet properly Sparks," he said with a grin. "Or should I say, Sam," he said as he took a few steps closer. My blood was boiling and my fists started tightening into balls. "You son of a bitch!" I shouted. I lunged towards him tackling him to the ground. I was on top of him holding both his arms down, scanning his body for the brooch. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said with a low chuckle. His eyes turned black like the monster's eyes outside and a huge blast came out of thin air. I flew off him and landed with a huge thud. "Did you honestly think it would be that easy to get this little ol' thing back?" he asked with a smirk dusting himself off. He opened his jacket to show me the brooch. It's so close. I let out a growl and stood back up. I lunged at him again to tackle him again. He waved his torch in front of him, and nothing more. Odd, but I'm not complaining. I jumped ready to land on him when I landed on a hard surface. It was a stupid force field. It glowed purple from underneath my body showing it was there. "Again, did you think it was this easy?" he laughed from behind the force field. I got off and stared him down. "Why are you doing this?!" I shouted in his face. Then his face twisted in confusion. His mouth opened and closed like a fish. He wasn't giving an answer so I guess I can attack now. I threw my whip towards him wrapping him up. It seemed to burn him enough to make him work up a sweat. "I don't know!" He shouted. I tilted my head in confusion. What does he mean he doesn't know? The purple aura came around again around his head. He looked like he was struggling like he was trying to get something out of his head. He struggled for a minute then his head fell. I loosened the whip and walked closer. I walked slowly with caution until he raised his head. His eyes opened and they were black as night. "You. Must. Die!" He shouted in a dark voice. He sounded almost possessed. I stepped back and this giant ball of magic went around the guy. It was growing and eventually, it exploded. I was shot in the sky along with bits and pieces of the building. I threw my whip in the direction of a hanging light pole so I could safely wing to the ground. I did just that and I stared at the giant cloud of dust in the sky. It was raining rocks, drywall, anything that was in that building is now falling from the sky. I see close by the monster lady is still wreaking havoc on the city and as much as I want to go help out I need to get that guy. I just don't know where he went. "Come to me my creature!" scratch that. That was him. Me, the boys, and the monster in question turned to the tallest building to see the same man on the roof with a giant speakerphone. Like the size of a tank. I started swinging around to try and find the boys to come up with a plan. I see Hightide, Cyclone, and Dolostone running in the direction of the tower. I landed on a building so I could grab them all at once with my whip to talk to them. They all scream in shock when they got grabbed and pulled into the alley near them. I kept a hold of them as I jumped down from the roof, landing on little landings on the way down. "Well look who decided to show up," Dolostone said rolling his eyes. I gave him a death glare to tell him to shut up. "I'm pissed off right now, so I can turn the heat up on this thing and turn you into charcoal or you can shut your trap and listen up," I said sternly and all the boys did as I asked. "Before you lose your shit on me, do you want to know what I was doing? I was working my ass off trying to fight that man on my own. I found him and do you know what he did? He kicked my ass and he blew up a building if you fucking noticed, which I was in. So you better not even say a word about me not doing my job or not helping out because I was doing so much more than what you guys were doing," I almost shouted at them. They all looked at the ground mumbling an apology for thinking I was doing something important. "So what now?" Cyclone asked. "We need to be careful. We can't hurt him," I said and all the boys looked confused. "What do you mean can't hurt him? That dude is the reason people almost die!" Hightide shouted at me flailing his arms around all pissed off. "We can't! He isn't in control of what he is doing! He is being hypnotized by Hecate. I don't know how, but he isn't willingly doing this," I said getting pissed off back at him. I took a deep breath so I could continue calmly. "Second, if we take the monster down he is just going to make another one. Before, if we beat his creatures he would just go and try again. Now that he is in the open he has nowhere to run and re-plan his attacks. He is just going to make something else appear. So focus on getting the brooch. It is in his jacket on the right-hand side. Grab it and run. Everything he's done should disappear and we can all go home," I said sternly They all nodded. "What's our plan?" asked Dolostone, and I shrugged. "Us three could attack him, while Sparks goes up from behind and steals it," Said Cyclone. I nodded with excitement. "Yes, this is perfect!" I shouted. We can finally be safe again. Won't have to hide anything anymore. We set the plan in action. The boys went back out front and center while I went deeper into the alley, trying to find a way to go up the side of the building without being noticed. I see Hightide distracting the lady while Cyclone and Dolostone take down the man together. Not going to lie the man has some skills in combat, but he is going down. I went to the back of the building and went inside. I quietly was making my way up the stairs, hearing more sounds of the boys fighting the man on the roof. For every step I took, I felt more confident that this would be over soon. I was on the final floor, in front of the door to the roof. I open the door, and now something I thought was so close to over might not be so close anymore
