Something Forbidden

Chapter 32: Danika

DANIKA

I woke up and saw that all eyes were on me. Katherine, Margaret, Marielle, Tia, Janelle, Raili and Nico?

My head ached and my side hurt. I sat up and looked around. Definitely Hades' Palace. But how i got here, i didnt know. I looked at the staring pairs of eyes, their looks of concern and confusion.

"I woke up suddenly not remembering anything and how i got here and you guys give me confused looks?"

"Of course," said a voice behind them.

I stood up from the couch i was sitting on, and saw that the voice came from Hades. He grinned, and i took a step forward. He walked towards me, his eyes on me.

"You've grown, Daughter of Poseidon." he said.

I backed away, confused.

"How did i get here? What happened?" i asked.

Tia stepped forward, her stormy eyes filled with concern. She took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes.

"You led us here, Danika. You looked different, your eyes... they were red. You almost killed Raili, but luckily, Nico arrived just in time."

I backed up even more, my hand on my forehead. It couldnt be, the prophecy... its started. I looked at Janelle, and she gave me a look that said, 'they need to know'. Before i could even start, though, Hades gave a chuckle.

"The prophecy has started, yes? Its about time, too. You have grown stronger by the day, Danika. I know, i've watched your progress."

"What do you mean? How do you know about the prophecy?" i asked,

"My brothers and I, we made an oath, and we all broke that oath. But you... you were planned. To stop evil from rising again, to stop a new leader from taking over Olympus." Hades said, grinning.

Janelle stepped forward, her fists clenched.

"Then why didnt you stop it? Why didnt the gods and goddesses just battle her themselves?"

"Her?" Cheska asked, confused.

"The gods and goddesses of Olympus need heroes  to do their dirty work for them. We all know that. Do you really think this has changed even after your brother's prophecys?" Hades said, staring at me.

"Dad!" Katherine said, seeing how hurt i was.

I was being used, by all  the gods and goddesses of Olympus. By my own father. I felt anger rise up inside of me, but i kept my cool, i didnt want another break down.

I snapped back to reality when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked around, Nico and the others where at my side.

"Lets go..." he whispered.

And at that, we vanished into the shadows.
