" You love me,

I love you,

We can take this love beyond,

And under the grave. "

- Sydney Gotham's Weird Lyrics Out of Nowhere.

I pace back and forth in the living room, while checking the clock ever so often. Its six in the morning and Hades isn't even up yet.

Last night after the whole plant-slash-weird dream incident, I hadn't gotten a spot of sleep.

It was somewhere past four that I realized that chucking out Hades from my house would actually do me good.

The guy is fun to have around and all, but seriously? I'd gone from a normal person to a hysterical crazy woman who was attacked by rabid dogs and rabid plants and rabid wives along with their rabid mothers.

So here's how I'll break it to him. As soon as he steps out of that door, I'm going to tell him:

"I know its only been a day, but I'm sorry, you can't stay here. You need to leave. I've had enough problems on my own without the crazy dog and wife coming into the picture. I think you see it too..."

Well, something along those lines.

I'm shaken from my thoughts as the sound of the door opening snaps me to attention.

Out emerges Hades, wearing the same shirt and pants, hair ruffled from sleep. My heart skips a beat as he ruffles his hair back in place and stifles a yawn.

He walks towards me with an air of purposefulness and I get ready to break the news to him. He stands in front of me.

I take a deep breath and say, "We need to--"

"We need to talk," he interrupts.

Shaking my head, I say, "I know its only been--"

"I know its only been a day, but I can't stay here anymore," he interrupts yet again.

I'm jumping with joy on the inside. He's leaving! He's finally going. He's finally--

"And you should come with me."

Wait, what?

"Come again?"I ask slowly.

He nods once and says, " You're not really safe here. I will take you to the Underworld and you shall stay there till we resolve the issue at hand."

I burst out laughing.

"Nice try, buddy. But there's no way I'm setting foot into the Underworld unless I'm dead, got it? I've stayed here since like forever. I know how to take care of myself."
