Ransom

Chapter 30: Allie White

Allie watched as Nico tried in vain once again to shadow-travel the two of them out of their cell. "It's no use." Allie said for the three-hundredth time.

There were crashes heard from the throne room down the hall. "I wonder what's happening in there." Nico said as he sat down next to Allie.

"I still can't believe that we haven't met until now." Allie said. "That's also true." Nico said with a small smile.

"I heard about you and Solace, congrats." Allie said to him. Nico turned crimson and said "Thanks."

"No problem." Allie said. "I wish I could pick that lock." Nico said. "Have you tried to slide your hands out?" He asked.

"Yeah." Allie said. Nico, at that moment, noticed how her wrists has  marks on them from trying to break out.

"I still can't believe that they embroidered an 'N' into your back." Nico said. "I've had worse." Allie mumbled.

"I know, I've heard the stories." Nico said staring straight ahead. "They told stories about me?" Allie asked.

"Yeah, they figured that since you were, you know, dead, that your legacy should live on." Nico said. "I can see that. They didn't mean any harm." Allie said.

"Yeah, exactly." Nico said.

"NO!" Allie heard a familiar voice tell. It was Frank. Allie sat up and said "Frank?"

"That was definitely Frank." Nico said as he sat up.

"We need to get you out of those chains." Nico said.

Black mist fed into the cell, filling the air so that it became difficult to breathe. After what felt like an eternity, it left. "That was weird." Nico said.

Allie rubbed her wrists. "Nyx let me go." Allie said. "What?" Nico said. He saw that she was freed from her handcuffs.

"The door!" Nico yelled.

Allie looked up and saw that indeed the door was opened.

Nico helped her up and they ran out of the cell.

Allie pulled on her necklace, her spear in hand. Nico made his sword appear. "Why couldn't you do that before?" Allie asked.

"I don't know, but I tried. She must have put some weird dark magic on the cell." Nico said.

Allie nodded and they approached the throne room doors. Allie kicked the door so that it swung opened.

The goddes Eris stood before the group while holding someone with her dagger at their throat. "Eris!" Allie called.

Thank the gods that Nyx was humane enough to give Allie another shirt. Otherwise, with her shirt completely torn in the back and part of the front, it would have been an awkward situation.

Eris whipped her head around with wide eyes. "You!" She called.

She tossed Sammy to the ground and he held his throat. Everyone rushed over to him besides Allie. Allie was currently being cornered by Eris.

Allie watched Sammy as Eris sent absentminded threats her way. Sammy seemed to have a cut on his neck, but it wasn't too deep, so he would be alright. Thank the gods.

Once Allie saw that Sammy would be alright, and faced Eris. "-wish you had never been born in the first place!" She finished.

"Sounds like fun." Allie said. "But maybe another time." She finished with a smirk.

Allie threw her spear at the goddess of strife and watched as she exploded into a pile of golden dust. As she turned to dust, you could hear her screams echo through the throne room.

Allie pulled on her necklace so that her spear went away and she ran forward to her boyfriend. "Allie!" He called. "Castor." She whispered into his shoulders.

"Are you alright?" Castor asked her. "I will be." She said.

Castor sighed in relief and held her tighter. "What a lovely moment." Nyx said.

Allie turned around and looked at the goddess. "It would be a shame if something ought to happen." She said.

"Nyx, leave us alone. You are done, defeated." Allie told her.

Nyx gave her a hearty laugh and said "I have only just begun, darling."

Allie's eyes grew wide as she watched Nyx levitate two beings in her hands that hadn't been in the room before.

"Now, Leonardo, I think that they belong to you." Nyx smiled.

Allie's eyes widened in horror as Leo strode forward and looked at his daughter and wife, held in a trance that resembled death.

Leo's eyes watered and widened as he looked at Nyx. He wore a snarl as he said "Let. Them. Go."

And then, he set himself on fire.

Oh crappp
No stones are being left unturned.
