Ryan Ahrens Part 2

A/N Here you are. I was the one to suggest another part, so you shall get another part. I love y'alls comments so much, a few almost made me pass out. Thank you for giving me an utter RUSH of serotonin. I swear, if I get one more "He's as straight as a circle" comment, I will unequivocally die from laughter. <3

How could I get him back? How could I do anything without the Gods hunting me down?

The real question was: How was I supposed to escape the Fields of Punishment? It felt like an eternity down there. Especially with all the silence ringing in my ear. The only remotely noisy thing was the giant wasp, about the size of a leech that drank way too much blood.

Hades wouldn't let me escape on his watch. I'd hurt his son, somehow. There was no way he'd simply let me go.

And there weren't any doors. Had I honestly ever tried to escape? I just thought someone would come and pick me up, taking me back to Earth to destroy Nico. Isn't that how the fates work? (A/N lmaooo)

I decided to escape, I needed to kill the wasp first. It was increasingly the size of a balloon when I tried popping it. It wouldn't die. Why wouldn't it die?

For some reason, there was a stick. I tried sharpening it, but no matter what I would put it on, the stick would stay dull and pointless.

I somehow pinned the wasp to the wall while it stung me vigorously, trying to stab it to death with an unsharpened stick.

Nothing worked, until I pulled the stinger out of its body. Hades wasn't too smart, was he?

I popped open the wasp with the stinger, but blood didn't come out. Maybe that was because I'd died already. I still wasn't too focused on Greek Mythology during my stay in the Underworld.

The wasp wouldn't leave me alone. Even after I'd tried to kill it. It just wouldn't die, like that one annoying spider you stomp on seventy thousand times.

It didn't have a stinger any longer, so It just decided to play around in my hair, itch me everywhere possible, and annoy the fuck out of me.

"Give up-"

I swear the wasp whispered that in my ear. Maybe I was just going crazy from the eternal punishment. I couldn't really tell.

"Never-" My voice was extremely cracked and dry from not speaking for a while, making me sound like a little kindergartner when someone tries to take your crayons.

"You won't escape on my watch," The wasp hissed at me, flying into my ear and causing a ruckus.

I stuck my finger in there to get it out, which might've been my best idea.

Something was buzzing in my head. How could a bug possibly get in my head?

"We're in the Underworld," The wasp said inside my head. "Anything and Everything is possible."

"Like my escape?"

It didn't respond. See, I'm just the smartest person ever.

I picked up the stick, stabbing at the weird gooey walls around me. I was extremely claustrophobic, so every day in that cell was a waking nightmare. I didn't deserve this punishment. All I did was insult someone, who turned out to be a God's son.

The stick went right through the walls. Instead of using a stick, I punched my arm through the wall.

"Too slow!" I yelled at the wasp, which was flying around freely in my head.

I put my other arm through it, adding in my torso and my head.

Then the wall closed on me. I couldn't stick my butt or anything below my waist through it. I couldn't move anything from the waist down.

Then I saw Hades in front of me. "You thought you were smart, Ryan Ahrens."

"I am," I huffed, crossing my arms, trying to look away from the guy. It was pretty hard since I was stuck in a wall.

"You must feel pretty stupid now, huh?" Hades laughed cruelly.

"Nope," I lied. "I'm not even a little bit embarrassed."

"Maybe you should see Nico again. My treat," Hades revealed an older Nico Di Angelo, the kid I sought to destroy.

I tried throwing hands at him, but he wasn't close enough to me for that.

"Ryan-" Nico wasn't fazed by my awesome attacks.

"Nico-" I snapped at him. "You're dead, aren't you?"

He shook his head.

"I haven't been down here long?" I wondered. "How's that possible?"

"Hades made Will and I immortal, mostly so I could help him down here. He's not allowed to have kids anymore, so he made the most of it."

"I thought the world would've ended by now," I admitted, shrugging. "But I haven't gotten my revenge."

"You never will," Nico smiled just like his father, snapping his fingers. A few skeletons emerged from the ground and punched my face so hard I fell back into my room.

They must've added something to my punishment, since the wasp apparently wasn't enough.

First off, the wasp started telling me terrible things about myself, not even stopping for a breath.

Secondly, my small room was spinning around me. My vision was blurry, and I could only grasp onto the wall, hoping everything would be okay.

So much for revenge.
