Chapter 32

Pit's POV:

I am so happy that Y/N actually agreed to come with me! 

I row faster, realising that finally there could be a happy ending. Y/N can finally see daylight and she can see the joys of being a living thing. 

On the down side-

I can't believe that I just confessed to her! Why did I do that?! She probably thinks I'm weird! Pittoo is right- I AM stupid! I can feel my cheeks get warm at the realisation of what I just did.

I take a glance at Y/N. She's sitting with her back facing me, her eyes looking at the back of the gondola. She hasn't talked since I asked her about what I said.

I wish I was like Aether- or Pittoo! They understood her. Y/N trusted Pittoo enough to tell him about that thing- Messorem- in her oar. Y/N has never trusted me that much... The fact that she trusted Pittoo more than me makes something burn deep inside me.

Y/N runs her hand on some writing along the hull of the boat. It says 'Phobos is better than Deimos' "I've always hated, Phobos..." She says. I don't know how to answer, so her words just echo in the darkness of the river.

She looks up at me, her eyes still don't give off any emotions. "Pit?" She asks, I smile eagerly- She's still talking to me! 

"How am I going to get out?"

Y/N continues "Won't Messorem just drag me back?" she doesn't smile back, so my smile fades away.

"Oh, Lady Palutena has that sorted out!" I answer. Lady Palutena and I have had a few conversations during Y/N's bout of silence- and luckily she has a way we can get out without seeing Messorem!

"Really?" Y/N straightens up "How?"

I shrug "I don't know! She's probably just gonna use her divine magic or something-" Y/N's interest falters. I hurriedly add "But she said it would work! And you won't have to see Messorem!"

Y/N nods, satisfied. And with that, we fall into another bout of silence. 

Thankfully it's not complete silence, because we can still hear the sound of the murky water splashing against the gondola and lapping at the grey, sandy shores.

Why did I do what I did?

Deimos's POV:

After Pit left, hell broke loose.

Phobos and I live in the spare room- which is basically Hades's basement. Life sucks here, I don't blame Y/N for wanting to leave the underworld. I mean it 's hell, after all.

Hades had me imprisoned for a day once he realised Y/N escaped. But luckily, Persephone came to my rescue. "Why would Y/N have hit Deimos on the head if they were in cahoots?!" she had said. That was a smart move Y/N and I had made.

I don't know why I'm protecting her so much. But my days in prison have taught me much. Yeah, yeah- I know I sound like those old coots you find at the bar in Mount Olympus... but hear me out!

I think it's called love- either that or I've been reading too many plays by Aristothenes. 

Nah!

Maybe it's because I've been enlightened? Who knows? The point is- 

Because of what I did for Y/N, my life is screwed. But for some reason, I don't mind!

Hades has been complaining because Nike told him that Pit is still alive. Yeah- I mean I saw him a few days ago! The underworld security system is pretty shabby to not have caught their lord's worst enemy.

You can hear Hades raging right now from the basement.

"HOW?! HOW DID BOTH PITTY-PAT AND Y/N ESCAPE MY CLUTCHES?! HOW PERSEPHONE?!?!HOWWWW?!?!!?" Jeez! My ears hurt.

And Persephone, being the motherly one always tries her best to make him chill "you tried your best...! It's not your fault that Pit keeps beating you..."

I know I'm a side character. Everything is evolving around Y/N, Hades and Pit. I'm just the side character with mommy and daddy issues.

What am I doing right now? Oh, I'm just chilling here in the basement. Phobos has gone to flirt with Atropos, Lachesis is bawling her eyes out in her room and Clotho is upholding their jobs by cutting, Allotering and sewing all the strings.

I'm just lying on my mattress and staring up at the grey ceiling and questioning life. Why is everything so grey here?

Out of everyone here, I think I like Clotho best. EW! Not in that way! I mean, she's the only down to earth, genuine person here. Apart from Y/N...

I wonder where she is now...? Did Pit find here? Did he persuade her to go with him?

I can't explain it- but I just don't like Pit. He never did anything to me- or to anyone else- unless harassing Hades counts. 

Sometimes I wish I could change things.

Phobos and I.... we haven't been close lately...

ever since the showdown at our labyrinth he thinks I've gone soft. I never wanted to kill Y/N- or see anyone die for that matter. Why is that soft?

How is not wanting bad things to happen going soft? Well, I like to call it empathy. It has a nice ring to it. Phobos is just an emo sadist. 

I wish I could show Aphrodites, my mother, that I wasn't a killer anymore. That I'm not a bad guy like Phobos or Ares, our father. But, my mother just has me labelled as a villain- and there is nothing I can do about it.

Most days, I spend my time listening to Hades and Persephone argue, hear Lachesis cry, watch Clotho spin cloth or see Phobos flirting with Atropos. I ship, to be honest- They're both idiots.

I don't know why I'm spending the time here talking to nothing but- look man, It's 3am and I haven't slept for six consecutive nights.

So cut me some slack!
