And with that I was at Barnes and Nobles reading a comic book as I drank an iced tea. However, due to my dyslexia it was fun to just fly through the pictures.

As I read through them, I suddenly felt my legs be nudged as I turned my head seeing Sebastian. A grin appeared on my face as he smiled back and I stood up and hugged him, he held onto me letting out a small chuckle into my ear.

"I was happy to see a text from my phone the day before our plan of so-called hating you commences." I sighed and we pulled away taking a seat and having time to talk.

"I just...I wanted to ask how you explained to your other family members about you being... you know? Aphrodite's kid?" He began laughing as he thought about it for a second.

"I mean...they took it fine? They don't really understand it technically but they're fine. I'm sorry, is this a trick question?"

I sighed and pushed my hair behind my ear and said, "I need to tell Thomas about myself. He showed my mom and I a house that he wants to move into once...I move out. And my mom is my mom as you know and clearly, she's not going to easily set me free after this Demi-God revelation."

Sebastian sighed and began to think as he tried to find the right words but theirs not exactly a 101 guide on this type of stuff.

"You'll know deep down whether you're ready to do that. I mean trust me it was hard telling my 4 tias and tios I'm....me..." his aunts and uncles as you would call them.

I nodded to his words as I said, "alright. We should get going then. I got us movie tickets for the theater around the corner."

He got up and began walking away as I grabbed my bag and my drink as we left.

As we were heading to the theater, he got a text on his phone and sighed, shaking his head, "seems like Silena is adamant of knowing whether or not we're still friends after the whole...thing that happened last year."

He showed me the text bubbles being sent as I made it simple, "she's just worried that you're still moping about your ex as any siblings would be. And because all of Camp hates me she needs to do damage control as the head of perfection of Aphrodite cabin."

Impressed with my analysis I smirked telling him, "Besides, when you see her start to date you will also throw a fit." He scoffed, "she's not dating till 18." I glared at him, and he smirked, "you didn't till 17." He pointed out as I slapped the back of his neck causing his pain as he rubbed the spot.

"Any word on Clarisse?" He asked as I shrugged, "Isabella has been keeping an eye out, she's explained that Clarisse is her normal self but isn't in other ways. Iris won't let me contact her anymore and sending letters with Damien is too suspicious and I need him in Chirons good graces..."

I frowned and told him, "I just hope I can explain all of this and make sure she understands, she's my best friend." Sebastian sighed and patted my back as we got to the theater, and he opened the door, and I walked in first.

We were able to get popcorn and 2 sodas, and the guy checked us in "you will go ahead upstairs to theater 3."

Nodding our heads we went ahead as Sebastian eerily looked around and I asked, "everything alright?" He frowned looking around stating, "somethings off..."

I looked at her confused as he told me, "Somethings not right, can't you feel it?" I tried to look around and sense if there was a monster, but it felt normal.

Shaking my head no he shook it off thinking it was simply his mind playing games with him, it also wasn't unordinary for a Demi-God to be weary every fifty seconds a day.

Especially if you live in the mortal world.

We got to the second floor and found the 3rd theater and walked inside seeing no one there yet and the opening trailers only playing at the moment. We got settled into our seats as he looked around, still feeling something that made his skin crawl and I frowned holding his arm as he looked at me.

"Calm down, don't worry if anything happens, we can take on anything." We smiled at one another till I got the sensation and my hairs lifted off my entire body.

"See! I wasn't crazy!" He spat out as we heard the door to the theater open and watched a guy walk in. He had an usher uniform as he but both Sebastian and I knew...

He wasn't an ordinary person.

Sebastian took out his dagger from his pocket and I stood up walking the opposite way from Sebastian.

We cornered the guy as he looked back and forth at the both of us back and forth. Sebastian threw his knife, but the guy caught it and began to laugh looking at the bronze weapon as he threw it towards the ceiling and there it went disintegrating.

I smiled and held my hands and began to sway them back and front as the man gasped and began forcing himself to face me as I shoved my hand down to the ground as he knelt before me, and I walked up to him.

"What are you? One of Luke's monsters coming to check on me? Believe me I have no worry of being able to kill you right now and here by snapping your neck in one go."

He began to laugh but soon it turned from a manly chuckle to more of a womanly monstrous cackle. His skin began to slake off slowly and I looked at it as Sebastian ran over grabbing my arm pulling me back.

"It's one of Hades' furies. We need to go, now!" I was going to run until the thing morphed into this reddish creature with wings and scales covering its body as it stated.

"I wouldn't do such a thing...I am only here to deliver the message from the Underworld..." she responded, and Sebastian scoffed.

"Hell no, whatever Hades wants tell him to fuck off." He grabbed my arm tightly, but the fury screeched loudly to echo in the theater.

Both and Sebastian and I fell to the ground covering our ears from the noise as our ears began to ring.

The fury walked over and stood above me as I looked up.

She looked me in the eyes saying, "not for you, son of Aphrodite...but for his dear little niece..."

I gulped and she approached me as I told her, "I was banned from camp, I have nothing to give. Have someone else do his bidding for him."

But before I could continue she laughed once more with an evil grin appearing on her face, "I am just the messenger. You must tell him yourself."

With that she flew away and up into the ceiling disappearing into nothing as both Sebastian and I stood starts to get up in disbelief.

"If Hades is sending you an assignment, then you're screwed..." he muttered.

I looked back at him with an annoyed face as I slapped him as he winced and whined in pain as I turned back with a frown.

This may or may not be related to Nico...but even then...the God of the Underworld wants to speak...with me...

But if I was going to be honest, I'm happy he did.

It seems that Hayleys Uncle is getting busy with his time by asking her for a favor, what could this God possibly want from her?
