Truth Or Fiction

Chapter One Hundred and Twelve

Uma sighed as she took a scroll. She couldn't help but hope that things would start to get lighter now as the past few scrolls had been rather dark.

While Harry and Jay were off getting CJ, Mal and Uma were making their way to the Underworld.

"Still not crazy about the fact that you're alone," Hades and Posideon muttered.

At that moment, the ember was probably the only thing that could help them if Audrey tried to do another attack.

"The ember's nice and all but I don't think we should count out Aunt Persephone," Macaria sad. "Gods still beat Fae magic after all."

I wish I brought Estelle, Mal thought. But there's no side car on my bike and there's no way he could sit on that bike safely. Plus he'd be better off protecting the 'pups' so to speak. I can handle myself around the Angels here—I'm not letting those kids be put in danger and Freddy knows where Evie's castle is now.

Estelle yipped softly and wagged his tail. He'd protect the pups!

Just because Hadie was up in the safety of Olympus didn't mean that she was going to let Dizzy, Celia, or the Smee twins be without protection.

"Thank you Mal," Sammy said as Smee gave Mal a small smile; the Smee twins still happily occupied with the arcade that had appeared with Ginny's arrival.

"You'd do the same for me if Hadie needed protection," Mal said with a small shrug.

Thankfully, Celia also knew her way around a sword. How could she not with her sister being who she was? She wasn't Hook level good but she'd be able to last long enough for help to come.

"CJ also taught me a thing or two so I'm better than you think," Celia nodded.

Not to mention I taught Evie how to make and throw smoke bombs, Mal thought. Freddy proved that they're more than just a fun prank idea or a way to run away from a fight when he threw his at Cotillion. Thankfully Carlos left his slingshot when he went over to Rodger and Anita's so Evie and Doug could hold off an attack should they need to and give the kids time to run.

"Happy to help," Carlos said with a small smile.

"I thought you still had your Fae magic from the Dragon," Uma said as they made their way through the Isle, pulling Mal out of her thoughts. "How was the scepter's magic able to work against you?"

"Good question," Hades said, his voice low at the reminder of someone trying to hurt Mal.

"I'm not sure," Mal sighed. "Possibly it's because of the fact that mom adopted me, therefore more Godly powers are running through my veins than my Fae powers.

"But wouldn't that make you harder to curse since the Gods are more powerful than the Fae?" Fairy Godmother asked.

"Mom, I think you've gone too long without talking," Jane said softly as many people jumped at the sound of her voice.

"Seriously do we have to have a quota for people to talk?" Hades griped.

But hush, dad doesn't really like talking about my Fae side. I mean he will because he doesn't believe in keeping my heritage from me but in every way that counts, I'm mom and dad's."

"You got that right," Hades muttered with a nod of his head.

"So we're keeping it a secret from Uncle Hades that Audrey cursed you then?"
