Daughter of Hades

Chapter 35

Sandra and Chloe helped each other get ready. It was Castlecoming day. Chloe wore a light blue dress with a black waist and sleeves, and a skirt ended at the floor. Sandra wore a dress with a black knee-high skirt and a teal top with black lace.

"Do you believe what Dad said?" Chloe asked her sister as Sandra helped her with her hair.

"What do you mean?"

"About him releasing the Titans."

"Dad's plans never really worked, plus he can't really leave the Isle."

"Good point."

"Besides, this is Castlecoming. Let's not worry about Dad right now."

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"It's unlocked!" Sandra called.

The door opened to reveal Jay and Jasen, both wearing suits.

"Hey, guys," Chloe greeted from her seat.

"You two look amazing," Jasen said.

"Thanks."

"You're good now, Chloe," Sandra said.

"You two ready to leave?" Jay asked.

"Yeah, let's get going."

Chloe took Jasen's arm while Sandra took Jay's. The group left the dorm and walked to the large gym. The gym was decorated with streamers and balloons. There were a few tables on the side of the side of the gym, along with tables around the room for people to sit. Music was playing over the speakers.

"Welcome, Auradonians!" Jordan said into a microphone. "Are you guys ready for an awesome Castlecoming?" The crowd of students cheered excitedly. "Alright! Let's get this party started!"

"Come on!" Jasen said, pulling Chloe onto the dance floor.

Jay looked at Sandra.

"Feel like dancing right now?" he asked.

"Not really. How about we just sit and talk for a little?"

"Sounds good."

The two sat down and watched the students dance and talk throughout the room. They were able to find some of their friends. Ben was dancing with Mal, Doug with Evie, Carlos with Jane, and Jasen with Chloe. Sandra and Jay talked for a while before Carlos and Evie came and pulled them both onto the dance floor.

The teens danced and talked for almost two hours when there was a sudden thud. The music slowly stopped and everyone looked around in confusion. A few people stared at the twins.

"It's not us," Sandra said.

Several more thuds were heard, each getting closer and closer to the school. Doug went to one of the window. His eyes grew in shock.

"Everyone get away from the wall!" he shouted. "Hurry!"

People began to move as part of the wall started to freeze over. Screams echoed through the gym. The gym wall and part of the roof cracked and fell. Everyone stared up at the figures outside.

"It can't be," Chloe muttered.

"Dad?" Sandra said.

"Told you I'd be coming for a visit," he laughed evilly.

Behind him were the four monstrous Titans.

"Oh gods! This is not going to end well." Chloe whispered to Sandra.

Both of them ran over to their dad, their wings popping out of their backs, their eyes turning yellow, their skin turning grey, and their hair lighting on fire.

"Come on, girls! Let's destroy this place!" Hades screamed.

"Chloe, don't do it!" Jasen screamed while running over to Chloe.

"I have to. I don't have a choice." Chloe whispered to Jasen.

"Of course you have a choice." Jasen whispered back. Chloe ran back over to Sandra and Hades.

"Do we really want to do this?" Sandra asked.

"No let's put an end to this." Chloe said while firing a fireball at one of the titans.

"What are you doing?" Hades screamed.

"What we should have done a long time ago." Sandra said while throwing a fireball.

"Fine if you want to be one of them then fine!" Hades said while fire was scattering everywhere.
