"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Zander asked. The man paid no attention to Zander and immediately walked over to Amara's makeup desk.

"Is this Eros?" Noelle whispered to Amara who was now standing beside her.

"I'm offended you don't know that I am indeed Eros." Eros exclaimed.

"He kind of looks like.." Zander said, not finishing his sentence. Amara read his mind, knowing exactly what Zander thought. Amara then giggled.

"Oh, I know. I thought the same thing when I first met him." Amara said. Eros slammed his hands down on the desk, causing Zander and Amara to stop conversing with one another. Eros then turned to the two of them with a tired look on his face.

"Alright, here's what we're not going to do. Compare me with that moody teenage son of Hades, honestly, it's offensive. I hear it constantly!" Eros complained.

"Wait, Heath? He looks nothing like Heath." Noelle said.

"Thank you! I'll be starting with you first!" Eros said before pinching the cheek of Noelle and dragging her into the chair.

"Moody? I've never known him to be moody." Noelle quietly said to herself. Amara however heard her very clearly.

"Heath isn't the same as he was 2 years ago, Noelle." Amara said.

"How so?" Noelle wondered.

"Well, he's distant. I don't hear from him anymore. I'm shocked he's even coming here tonight considering he's hardly left the Underworld since he got here." Amara explained.

"Do you think Hades is keeping him from leaving?" Zander asked.

"After what Noelle told us about Hades and Persephone in Nova Scotia, I don't think it's likely he'd do something like that." Donovan said, now walking into the room and closing the door behind him.

"Where the hell were you?!" Amara asked, noticing how late he came in. Donovan shrugged his shoulders before crossing them over his chest.

"I got held up." Donovan answered plainly. Amara quirked a brow before realizing fully where he was. She only shook her head at him, not wanting to reveal what he kept so secretly with the others.

"You're right. But, I wouldn't say it isn't partially Hade's fault. Didn't you tell Zander that Heath has been ruling alongside Hades?" Noelle asked as Eros brushed her long dark hair.

"Something of that sort." Donovan said. He was about to continue, but Eros began complaining.

"Okay, this is much too hard. We'll have to change your appearance completely." Eros said, rubbing his hands together.

"What, no! I like how I look!" Noelle exclaimed, making an attempt to sit up from her chair.

"Oh, it's simple, Noelle. Call it a spell if you'd like. It'll wear off in a few hours." Eros explained.

"Are you sure?" Noelle asked.

"Yes. Or, you could go wash it off in one of the many water fountains outside. That'd work too." Eros said. Noelle sighed and nodded her head before sitting back down in the chair. Eros waved his hands around a few times before red dust came from his hands. Noelle coughed and shut her eyes to keep dust from entering them as Eros fanned it away. Once the dust was gone, Eros grabbed a fluffy brush to dust any of the excesses off of her face. Noelle slowly opened her eyes to see the group staring at her with their jaws dropped.

"Is it that drastic of a change?" Noelle asked, spinning around to look in the mirror. Her eyes widened at the sight of her changed appearance.

"You just had to make me blonde?" Noelle asked, turning to Eros.
