They say to be careful what you wish for.

I told Hades I wanted to go back home, and we are.

I think.

I slip in and out of consciousness, barely able to make out signs as whatever vehicle I'm in speeds down backroads.

It's speeding so fast, I'm dizzy. Dizzy enough I almost welcome the blackouts.

I'm laying in the back of a van, and moonlight streams in from the window.

I can't see Acorn, but I know he's with me.

Every so often I'll deliriously hear a meow or feel his silky fur brush against my arm.

I'm cold.

There's something covering me, I think it's a blanket or an oversized towel.

I'm still so cold.

I can't see Hades.

I wish I could see him.

Every time I remember to look for him, I slip back into a sea of darkness and unknown and emerge in confusion.

Whatever mist came into our motel room had a heavy sedative in it.

It's been hours.

I don't know how much longer the effects will last.

One name keeps pounding in my brain through it all.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

Rowan.

It's a steady thud, like a heartbeat.

Constant, unrelenting.

He's been lying in wait, patiently preparing for the right moment to carry out whatever sick fantasies he has in his mind.

He's going to kill Hades and punish me.

He'll force me to lay next to his dead body, watching and smelling as he decays.

I didn't even say I love you.

I should have told him that I loved him when I had the chance because Rowan is going to kill him.

He's going to kill him and I'm never going to experience anything with him ever again.

Tears slide down my cheeks but I can't even feel them.

I don't know why I can't have nice things.

Have I accidentally cursed myself or something?

To make matters worse, Hades is getting dragged into my mess.

It's making me feel so fucking guilty.

I love you and I'm sorry.

I love you and I'm sorry.

I love you and I'm sorry.

Sadness crushes my mind and the dark sea of nothingness envelops me again.

I don't wake for a very long time.

A/N: I know this is short, but I need to get back to Hades' perspective.

Also, this is like an apology for not posting in like 5 days <3
