Heir of a Titan - Book 2 PJO

Chapter 6: I Lose My Temper...Again.

Hades continued to glare at me. I slowly leaned over to Nico, keeping my eyes on the lord of the underworld.

"Dude....what I do?" I whispered at him. Nico shrugged making me roll my eyes. "You're helpful."

I straightened up and with much arm waving and flailing I bowed again.

"Oh Lord Hades, Sir-"

"Oh shut up Half-Blood. You have zero respect for us. And now you're just mocking me." Hades hissed.

I gasped and pressed a hand to my chest. "Whaaat? No! Who me? Absolutely not!"

Hades ground his teeth, and I pressed my lips together, he called my bull shit right away. And it was even better, when I saw Hades roll his eyes.

"Fine. Wheres my child support?" I snarked fading my arms and sticming my hip out.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. The days I have our shared son, I'm making him eat and sleep, does he not eat down here? What about sleeping? He sleeps like the dead when I have him!"

"Okay...one, like I haven't heard death puns before. And Nico! You're not eating? You told me 4 hours is what human children function on! You're already nothing special...how are you going to take on the prophecy if you're this....this..."

He waved a hand at Nico and frowned. Nico bowed his head and refused to look at Hades or me.

"Four?!" I yelped. I rounded on the boy, "four hours?! That's it!? No wonder you look horrible! You need to sleep more boy!"

Nick held his hands up, "I though we were here because you were made at Nora, when did this become you two hanging up on me?"

"We will discuss this later!" Hades hissed at him. "Your sister never gave me this much grief!"

"Hey. Lay off the kid! He's like 10 and lived his entire life locked in some messed up Hotel. Back off!" I snarled, stepped closer to Nico. My anger was starting to boil. Okay, be rude to others whatever, but the way he was treating Nico was not cool and I didn't care of this was a god or not. No one says things like that to my Nico.

Hades turned his dark eyes back to me and narrowed them. "You. Daughter of the Sun."

"What do you want?"

"I would like to lock you in my dungeons, but for some unknown reason, my son says otherwise."

"Aww thanks Nico! I knew we were buddies!"

"Silence child!" He suddenly yelled.

"Chill man."

Nico snorted and slapped his hand over his mouth. And did his best to suppress a snigger.

"There has been a lot of talk regarding you, Eleanora Blofis. Your liniage has been brought up and been discussed quite a bit since last summer. Apollo claims he is your father...yet...I see how hard my father is trying to get his hands on you. I want to know why."

Persephone sat quiet the whole time, but I noticed she stiffened slightly and leaned forwards.

"I dunno." I shrugged.

"There are many rumors circling you." Hades said dangerously quietly, his thin long fingers laced together and he placed his chin on them.

I chewed my cheek thinking. I stared back at Hades for a moment debating my options. Honestly I didn't know how I could keep my actual identity a secret for much longer. Kronos seemed to know, so I figured the gods would figure it out eventually. I sighed with a shrug.
