Wake up (a jeff the killer love story)

chapter 3 (sequel)

(averie's POV)

Mount Olympus.

I never get used to its beauty. A large expanse of land, covered in large white clouds, and roaming with Gods. Never has there been a time when I see it and it doesn't take my breath away. And, despite the position I was in at the moment, I had a huge grin plastered onto my face.

"So this is the marvelous Mount Olympus," Jeff muttered at my side, "I'll admit, it's breath-taking."

I smiled and took Jeff's hand in mine, his fingers slid between mine, a perfect match. Hades, Jeff and I began to walk towards the Gates of Olympus, when Jeff stopped abruptly and laid a hand on Hades chest pushing him back. Hades, a calm, reserved, man (in most occasions, but not all), only smiled.

"What could be the problem?" Hades asked, causing Jeff to frown.

"I want to know exactly how you manipulated averie. She's not a dumb girl, quite the opposite actually." Jeff hissed at Hades.

"Oh but my dear boy, I didn't manipulate her. She dealt your life at her own choice. I had nothing to do with-"

"Don't lie to me," Jeff interrupted, "averie said that you showed her to the Fates and they showed her my future without her. I died, end of story. And averie, knowing that I would spend an eternity with you, dealt my life so that she could come back and I wouldn't have to die."

"Bravo, kid. It seems you've discovered it. But I didn't manipulate her, I'm telling you. She cares about you too much to let you die, it was her doing not mine." Hades retorted, getting a bit annoyed.

I smiled, a wary smile, and laughed nervously, "what's all this talk about me? You're here to see Gaea, so I would-"

"You would what?" An all too recognizable voice interrupted me.

I groaned nervously and opened my mouth to say something when Hades interrupted me by moving up to Gaea and taking her hand in his.

"Gaea," he said kissing her hand gently, "long time no see."

"Not long enough." Gaea shot back regally, "what are you doing here Hades? Mount Olympus is no place for the ruler of the Underworld." Gaea said sounding frustrated.

"Well, I came here to speak to you, of course." Hades said with a small sneer.

I groaned, "well, obviously Jeff and I have nothing to do with this so we're just going to go. Thanks for the deal, Hades." I said waving goodbye.

"Deal?" Gaea said stopping me dead in my tracks.

"Yes, deal. A small deal. In exchange for my life, I opened a portal that let Hades through here. No biggie." I said with a shrug.

Gaea narrowed her eyes at Hades, "I hope you know that whatever you're planning is not going to work, Hades. We have an army to go against you any day."

"Oh what a horrible accusation. I would never plan an uprising against Mount Olympus, who would?" Hades asked, feigning hurt.

"Then what is it that you want?" Gaea asked, growing impatient.

"It gets quite lonely in the Underworld. All I hear is the moans and screams of the souls of the dead. I came to ask if you would be so kind as to join me." Hades said, extending his hand for Gaea to take.

"No."

"But-"

"But nothing. I belong here, nowhere else." Gaea said pointedly.

"Fine. I didn't want to do this, Gaea. But if it is an uprising you want, it is an uprising you deserve." Hades hissed disappearing into the clouds.

I gasped, "he's waging war? Right now?"

"Yes. It seems so." Gaea said angry now.

"Is there, anything we can do?" Jeff asked cautiously.

"Well, the only person who could help is averie. But I can't take her from you. Not again." Gaea said with a small smile. "Well, you two should be off. I'm going to warn Athena, she'll get it to Zeus."

And with that she was gone.

"I can't believe I just caused a war for the Gods. I hope this doesn't come back down here." I said once Jeff and I were through the portal.

Jeff sighed, "I know. Well, we're safe now right?"

I nodded and moved in to hug Jeff. He promptly pulled me up into a sweet short kiss.

"We should go, it's late."

I nodded.

The entire way back, though I didn't say anything, I felt eyes on me.

And oh, they were angry.
