Playing With Death

5

Victoria, Connor, Alpha, Boom, Scar and Twitch all sat at the large circular table in the main hall. The whole castle had the same colour coordinates. Blue and Black. With blue flames coming from the kerosene lamps that were patterned across the walls. Victoria looked at a large map, “we have till 6AM to get Sugar back..” she looked up at the others; Connor looked at her, his face painted with nothing more than confusion, “why 6? We only have like 8 hours to do this then?” he asked, looking at Alpha who had now completely gotten bored and decided to mess around with his magic. Only to be stopped when a pink trainer hit his shin bone, “we only have till 6 because..” Victoria presented a small clockwork device, cogs and such were functioning inside and a clock seemed to be ticking round the 360 degrees shape a little quicker than a minute.

Suddenly, a huge hologram of a website appeared from the clock into the air above them, “Pluton is trying to sell her off, seems like he's gotten someone who has an interest in her” she said, a disgusted face was pulled as her mouth made a very unpleasant frown. Boom’s face looked more disgusted than usual, “I'm a gold digger but seriously.. This is just despicable..” she shook her head. Suddenly, Hades walked in carrying a sleeping Axel, “what are you morons doing?” he asked, lifting a non existing eyebrow, he looked up and saw the hologram, “That son of a-” Victoria interrupted him, “do you know where he might be?”

Hades nodded, “i think it's in my office the address, the idiot thinks i don't know where he hides” he groaned, but smiled as he caressed the smaller skeleton’s cheek bone, he walked off with Axel in his arms, the others guess to his bedroom but he wouldn't do anything to the guy.. Right? No cause unlike his brother Hades was respectable and more sensible; even if it came to things like jobs, or being underpressure.

Victoria rolled her eyes at the idiot. She didn't mind her boss being gay. She was gay aswell, she actually likes women not men, she just didn't want all this heart stopper cringe. As the group got their thing together; Twitch reluctantly looked at Hades' door, “do i have to get it?” Connor looked at him and nodded, “yeah, i'm not going in there. The dude has some crazy weird things in there.” he groaned and followed the others to the front door. Twitch rolled his eyes and called after him, “says the guy who carries a giant mallet and wears basketball shorts everywhere” hoping to god Connor didn't really hear him, he quickly slipped into Hades’ office.

Connor was right; He did have some weird messed up things in that dark, horrifically clean office. He looked around frantically for the address due to the fact that despite his blindfold and lack of pupils, he could feel the voodoo heads staring at him, it was creepy. He looked on his surprisingly organised desk and spotted a small, rusty filing cabinet. One of the labels said “Members” so Twitch guessed it was in there.

He slowly opened the drawer and looked at the folders, mumbling the names, “Axel, Alpha, Boom, Connor, Scar, Victoria..” he looked at a folder that was covered in red marker with burn marks all over that read, “Pluton” so Twitch knew that was the one. He slid it out the cabinet and placed it on the desk- firmly. He opened the horrendous folder and a lot of photos and information fell out. Twitch looked for a small slip of paper with any address till he saw some writing on somepaper, “addresses?” he read out, he took it and looked at it, “oh this must be it”

Carefully putting all the things back into the folder and slipping it back into the cabinet he turned off the lamp and left the room. He ran to the front door and looked at Connor who was glaring at him, “i heard you, you little sh-” Once again victoria interrupted, “Connor, Twitch. Pack it in. Twitch did you find anything?” Twitch nodded and got down on one knee and presented the paper, “for you madam lesbian” Victoria rolled her eyes; she wanted to punch him. Boom laughed, “I'm so glad I'm half straight.” She then wandered out the door, her tail moving elegantly behind her, Hades walked out his bedroom just in time, “by the way, Twitch take this” he threw him a compass and a small lamp with blue fire, “it should help you out.” Twitch nodded and followed Boom, Scar and Victoria out the door. Connor stood there looking at his mallet, “is Axel gonna be okay?” he mumbled. Hades looked back at him, “he will be” he nodded, his flames slowly but beautifully ascending from the giant crack in his skull. His dark bones seemed to have a blue tint to them from the calming glow of the blue flames also known as hell fire, “just get his daughter back, okay?” Connor nodded and left the castle.

Hades looked at the door then sighed; he despised his brother. He really really really did. So much in fact that he took Envy and Want. His “children''. Hades thought it was quite nice, his brother managed to adopt two wonderful children, it's a shame they are so so very corrupted by human wants, desires and greed. He looked at the two children, one green, one blue. They are twins except the blue kid is younger by 4 seconds and shorter. The green one is 4 seconds older and really tall, but not taller than Hades. He looked at the two, clearly quite annoyed, “so you two are the infamous children my dimwitted brother seemingly adopted?” he bend down to looked at them eye to eye, “so idiotic” he mummbled, shaking his head. He always wondered why they are called Want and Envy. Want or by his nickname Pip, was so kind. He didn't seem so harmful or as much of a menace, unlike his twin sister. Envy was cruel, horrible, evil, murderous, savage, vicious, wicked, barbarous (you get the point). Envy was just awful. For a 15 year old she was heartless.

Envy looked up at him, growling, “you're so ugly” she sneered. Hades rolled his pupil, he hated humans.. And ghosts. Except for Scar (or Scared) he was a true warrior despite being Axe’s  dead brother he was incredible. And as a ghost he was and still is very useful. Hades walked away from the twins. He liked pip, just not envy. 

Meanwhile, in the depths of another AU called helltale, Victoria, Boom, Scar, Twitch, Alpha and Connor were all lurking around the streets, looking for the address, “so where are we heading?” whispered Connor; Victoria looked at him with a smile, “we are going to the “bank” well that's what it's disguised as.” she chirped, Boom smiles at her and walks next to her, “well that’s not very smart”

“Oh i know” she laughed, “the guy’s life is all about money, money, money- it's such a big give away” Boom nodded and turned around seeing the boys, “idiots” she said rolling her eyes. Connor and Scar were sticking their tongue out and flipping the townsfolk off and Alpha was bonking Twitch’s head with a stick. Victoria laughed, “they are just commoners” she smiled at Boom who returned it with her own. They stopped. The town suddenly got quiet and they now know why, “We are here” Alpha said, impersonating an old creepy man voice, only to be greeted with a whack on the back of his head by a tall blonde boy, “stop it moron” 

Scar looked around, his voice echoed and sounded distant. Yet, deep enough to frighten people, “where is everyone?” he asked, his green pupil looking left and right inspecting the area surrounding them; Connor let out a low chuckle, “probably found a better bank”

“Yall realise this isn't a real bank?” Victoria sighs, “plus this is the only building named bank in the area” She spoke, her voice sounded uneasy, “this is very odd..” Boom stepped towards the door and pressed her hand gently on it, “Alpha, set this door on fire please” Victoria looked confused, just as she was about to ask, Alpha already started summoning purple fireballs and chucking them at the door…
