What is going on? My mind start racing, and my palms start sweating. My heart feels like its about to pound out of my chest. The devil? Are you kidding me? First, I meet death and crack my head open, now I'm being summonded by the devil? This night is too crazy. I look next to me where Darian is standing and I can tell he is afraid. I don't want him to be freaked out so I grab his hand and lean down to whisper in his ear. "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to us. I promise." I can hear his breath deepen, he is holding back tears. I get on one knee to talk to him face to face. His chin is quivering and his eyes are filling up with tears again. I can hear footsteps walking up behind me, but I keep my focus on Darian. "Don't worry, just remember, I love you." I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I am lead away from Darian who is standing there, fully crying. One last time I yell, "I Love You!" I can feel that it's Johnny's hand on my shoulder, making me feel safer. I can hear Darian's sobs from behind me, I can feel the hot tears buildng in my eyes. I close my eyes and feel the first tear of fear fall down my face. I didn't want it to end this way. I didn't want to put Darian in danger, but I put us both in danger. I look to my right and Hades is standing there, a smirk across that ,usually cold and blank, face. I want to snap his neck right now, but I mostly want to snap Nate's neck. Why did he want me? There was no reasoning, no logic. I can see where were going, but only slightly. If we weren't on a street then I wouldn't be able to. It would be pitch black, which wouldn't be good for Darian. He is afraid of the dark, and he will freak if he is alone in the dark. "So, how do we get.....you know...down there?" Hades just keeps walking but the smile on his face slowly fades. "You will see." His tone was so cold. "i wouldn't talk to him, he is kind of a cranky pants." I look over to see Johnny with a big smile on his face. He is chuckling to himself. "I have only one more question." Hades looks over at me and stops walking. "What is it?" His voice is ice cold, and it sends shivers down my body."Why did we leave Darian? He is just a kid, he can't be by himself."  Hades whipped around to look at me face to face, and his eyes were red like fire. "He wasn't asked to come! How is that for an answer?"
