(Jeff's POV)

"So. What happens now?" averie asked, staring out my window, looking at her name carved into the tree, just outside of it.

"What do you mean?" I asked, genuinely confused by her question.

"I mean, Zalgo is gone. What happens now? His little lackeys are not going to be about without orders from their leader, so, is the fighting over?"

And she has a point. Without Zalgo, his little followers won't go around causing panic and chaos without his orders. And of course, because Zalgo is dead now, they have nothing to live for. I shrugged and moved a bit closer to averie, wrapping my arm around her shoulders. I never noticed how strong she was. Even with her small frame, big blue eyes, and innocent-looking face, she contained so much power. Enough to come back to me that is.

"Well, we could always go on a date. I've been a horrible boyfriend, we have not even had a proper first date." I said with a small smile.

averie looked up at me, her eyes wide and shining with excitement, "are you serious? Do you think we can go back to my world? You can disguise yourself and, oh, it will be so magical!" she shrieked with a smile.

I couldn't help but laugh. The reddish-orange colors of the setting sun played across her face and bounced off her long, blonde hair giving her a sort of soft angelic glow.

"Yeah, totally. Of course I'd have to ask Slendy first. He'd kill me if I left without permission." I said raising my eyebrows at averie.

She only nodded, her hair bobbing along with her eagerness. I smiled and left the room, letting her get ready to leave. And I must agree, this date will be...magical.

I squealed internally and dug around in my closet looking for the best clothes I had to wear. In the end I chose a blue t-shirt and some black shorts. I smiled at myself in the mirror and brushed my hair out. Before I could look back up, I saw a blur of movement near the dresser.

I eased myself toward the bed and reached under the pillow, where Jeff keeps an extra knife, just in case, and whirled around. I found none other than the very person I descended from.

Hades.

"What do you want?" I asked sternly, my knife aimed at his head.

"I came to remind you of our deal, my precious little averie ." He said with a small smile.

I'll admit, Hades is incredibly handsome for God of the Underworld. He has a slim, lean body, with midnight black hair, styled with an uncanny resemblance to Jeff's, and a cruel, wicked smile.

"Need I remind you of the repercussions of not following through?" Hades asked coming over to me and laying his hands on my cheeks.

I groaned and pushed away with a frown, "No. I am quite aware."

"Well, seems like I reeled in a smart one. Need a reminder of the details?" Hades asked, his voice playful and mischievous.

I frowned, "if it will get you to shut up and leave my room. Go ahead I need a fresh start anyway." I said pointedly and angrily.

"I need you to open the portal to Mount Olympus. I saw you do it with Gaea and I need to speak with her. Shall you not do this, I will take Jeff's life. Is that understood? Oh, and the portal needs to be open by twelve o'clock tonight. And I will remind you, averie, I am a man with a busy schedule so I do not wait for a minute after." Hades said stepping into my mirror and waving goodbye, before disappearing like he was never there.

And for the others who can't see him, he really was never there.

I walked back into my room with a wide smile. Old Slendy had given me permission under the following conditions:
