"Don't do anything stupid?"

Hestia stopped walking, Louis, Edward, Apollo and Hecate all stopped behind her

She turned to them and blinked "I had to witness something today that I hope will never fucking happen again... and to-do that-" she kicked Demeter's door open

"WAKEY WAKEY SUNSHINE, WE ARE GOING ON A MAGICAL RIDE!!"

Edward looked at her "Can we all come?"

"No"

"But we all want to see them-"

"No." She said and looked at all of them "I said one word, now all of you scram" she said walking into Demeter's room, taking a glass of water and splashing her with it

"WAKE UP, you wanna see Liam. Well, you're going to be seeing him"

~~~~~

Hestia was basically dragging her by her hair, a pertinent sneer on her face before she glared at Dionysus and Hermes

They both widened their eyes and slammed their bedroom door closed, Hestia dropped her by the slightly open door to Liam and Zayn's bedroom

Demeter gasped and stood up quickly, she turned to try and push the door open but a growl was heard

She turned and gasped seeing Cerberus, with all of its 3 heads emerging from the darkness glaring and growling at her

Hestia turned towards him and gave him a look "Cmon now, let's give her a chance"

Cerberus just growled and sat right beside the door, keeping an eye on Demeter

Demeter looked at him then tried to open the door, it opened without a sound but when she tried to walk in

She was swallowed up by shadows and appeared at the bottom of the stairs, she gasped and tried again, running up and immediately into the room

Only for shadowed to once again swallow her, Hestia leaned against the wall as the door to the room Dionysus opened and she stepped out with a glare

He followed her and knocked on Hermes' door, he opened it and he saw Demeter trying to run into the room

He then looked at Hestia "Try number 3?"

Hestia hummed, and they heard a splash then a yell from downstairs, Demeter stomped up the stairs, well and glaring

Hestia blinked "You want to try a fourth time? Zayn's limits were always 3, this one may be death but be my guest"

She gritted her teeth "Why can't I go in?"

Hestia hummed and nodded into the room "you see that little thing that Zayn is holding?" Demeter forced a nod

"Yeah, that's Liam after your call last night"

Demeter tensed, and Dionysus nodded "I'm pretty sure you almost killed 3 people last night, 6 if you count the fear you put in us"

Hermes looked at her "7 if you count yourself, because Louis would ripped you to shreds and fed you to your crops"

She shook her head "Impossible, I-"

"iMpOsSiBlE, you fell asleep after the phone call. We fucking didn't"

Hermes leaned against his door "The defense system that are usually around the underworld as a whole are currently mostly around THIS room in specific... it's how Hestia was able to get you in, but be careful mother dearest. Once the defenses are up, a shadow will pluck and make sure that your way home won't be so fun... unless Zayn asks them not to of course"
