Mary was walking to sword fighting, when suddenly someone pushes her back, making her fall face first into the floor. She turns around and sees Sofie with her 3 friends.
"What did you do that for? I thought we were friends?!"
Mary asked. She laughs.
"Friends? Friends! Are you joking? Why would I be friends with a girl who stole my one and only?"
Sofie snapped. Oh, that's what this is about.
"So?"
Mary asked. She didn't get up from the floor, because she knew she would do something to her.
"I'm going to get you for that! He was supposed to be mine, and you just stole him from me!"
She yelled.
"Jealous much?"
Mary asked. She growled at her.
"And I didn't steal him. He asked me to date him, and I said yes."
Mary protested. Sofie smiled evilly at her.
"So what? You still took him away from me. And everybody has been noticing that you never scream! I wanted to be the first to find out."
She said. She laughed again, and brought out her dagger. Yep, she's crazy. Mary scooted back, staring at the shiny, sharp, and lethal dagger that shined in the hot sun. Sofie slashes at her, and Mary winces.
"Come on, scream already!"
She whispered angrily. Her friends gave off worried and sorry glances at Mary. All Mary did was glare back. Sofie gets out her poisonous whip.
Mary's eyes widened.
"Wo, Sofie don't you think that's a little extreme!?"
One of her friends ask.
"Whatever! She can heal herself!"
Sofie sad back. Mary couldn't heal herself from that type of poison.
"Not from that!"
She yelled.
"No well!"
Sofie shouts. Sofie whips at her, and Mary dodges to the left. My friends and I hear the sound, and come running outside. Everything happens way too quickly. Sofie whips at Mary again, and this time hits her leg. I knew the pain was unbearable, by the facial feature on Mary's face. And on instinct, Mary screams. The ground rumbled from underneath me, and a large and deep crack forms.
"What the!"
Sofie shouts, jumping in surprise. Mary gets up slowly, tipping over a little.
"You weren't supposed to find out. I know I will get judged for who I am, so I guess I can become what my dad wants... Turn evil. Nobody will care."
Mary says. Confusion swirls in my head. Dad?
"Wait dad?"
Sofie asks, backing away. Mary cracks her neck and a growl escapes her mouth.
"This is my second life bozo! I'm 130 years old! My mom was Hecate... I was reborn into daughter of Hades!"
Mary shouts. She raises her hands and skeletons escape from the cracks. My mouth drops. Oh no.
"Kill them all!"
Mary says in Greek. The skeletons grab there weapons, and rush towards us. Campers screamed, and sprinted to get their weapons. Mary's eyes were all red. Red as blood. She laughs and all you hear is an evil, dark laugh. Not like her at all. Mary suddenly grows wings, pure black wings.
"Mary!!"
I shouted. Running over to her, my friends following. We battled our to her, knocking down skeletons and crushing the bones under our feet.
"Foolish girl! You can't stop me! I'm only doing what my dad wants! Why be nice if all you will be called is a freak?! Blame Sofie for what I have to become!"
Mary yells.
"But you don't have to! Your independent and this isn't you! People love you Mary! They respect you and always will!"
I yelled back. Mary shakes her head.
"No. They did, when I was a one goddess girl. Nobody likes a child of Hades. They always treat them differently! I can't take anymore abuse!"
Mary yells.
"Nico was excepted! Just like the books for told! They loved him and all he did was push people back! Don't become him Mary! He lives a full life right now. I full happy life and he's the son of Hades! That doesn't mean you will be any different!"
I yelled. Mary hesitated.
"I. Don't. Care."
Mary said. My heart breaks, and Mary grows talons and her hair grows into fire. A fury. Wait what? She grows two inch fangs. No.
"Mary don't do this! Don't leave me!"
Evan yells.
"I'm sorry."
Mary says.
"No! I just now got your acceptance! I don't want to loose another person I love!"
Evan said. Mary walks up to him. She morphs her face back to normal... Leaving everything else as it is... And kisses Evans forehead.
"I love you."
Mary whispers. She turns back to evil, and flys away. The skeletons vanish, once she is out of sight. People stare at Evan and the ground. Sofie is frozen in her shock. I run up to her, but Caleb grabs one of my arms.
"Come on girl! Let's finish this!"
I yelled. Trying to scratch her with my hand. Caleb pulls me towards him as I growl.
"You need to calm down. We will get Mary back."
Caleb whispers into my ear.
"Will whip wear off?!"
Evan says running towards her.
"Hey Evan."
Sofie says dreamily. Evan pushes her to the ground, startling everybody.
"Will it wear off!!"
Evan shouts louder. Sofie flinches.
"No. It's poisoning her slowly. But we can have a shot now!"
Sofie says. I slapped my forehead. She can be so stupid sometimes. Ice forms by Evans feet, and starts trailing towards her.
"You... I would never be with."
He snarls. He picks her up by the shirt collar. Tears sparking his eyes.
"I would stay out of my way if I were you."
Evan whispers. He pushes her again, but Sofie regains her balance.
"We need to find her."
Evan says, looking at me.
"Did you know about this?"
I asked.
"Yes. That was her secret."
Evan says, sadly.
"She's the daughter of two gods. She's twice as strong as us!"
Caleb groans.
"I know... Which means the poison is killing her quicker."
Evan says.
"She's heading too..."
Dion sniffs the air and his eyes widened... Well. That can't be good.
"The Underworld."
He says.
"Wait what?"
I asked.
"She's going to her dad of course."
Evan says. Mr. Dis comes running over to us.
"What just happened?!"
He says.
"Sofie..."
I tried to explain everything that happened, in one really quick sentence. I was so angry and worried do didn't know what to do!
"Ok Skyla, your missing some parts and don't forget to breathe!"
Caleb said shaking me.
"I've heard enough. Sofie, hand me your whip."
Mr. Dis says.
"M-my whip...? But Mr. Dis I-"
Sofie stutters. Evan smiles.
"No back talk to me young lady! Hand it to me now! It seems like it's too strong for you to handle. And think they were your friends... All because of jealously."
Mr. Dis says, shaking his head. Some campers step back. They have never heard Mr. Dis yell like that before. Sofie glanced at Evan, who glared in exchange.
"Can I at least go on the quest to find her?"
Sofie asked.
"Absolutely not!"
Mr. Dis yells again.
"Evan, Skyla, Caleb, an Dion will go on the quest, no questions asked. And when they come back, you will not be joining the party Ms. Dander."
"What?! But-"
"Hand me your whip and go to your cabin!"
Mr. Dis yells. Sofie hands him her whip, and runs to the cabin. Mr. Dis never acted so fatherly before either.
"How long before the poison kicks into her heart Mr. Dis?"
Evan asked.
"Only a week. You must pick 6 states or countries o go around in and find the door to the underworld. Hades would have put some types of traps over there. So be ready."
"Why only 6 states or countries?"
Dion asked.
"Because it should only take a day to get Mary back and make her healthy again."
Mr. Dis says.
"Then we should train. When does the week start?"
Caleb asked worriedly.
"Tomorrow. Which is Monday."
Mr. Dis says.
"Ok then. Let's eat and then train."
I said, trying to act confidently.
