PERCY'S POV
Grover acted like we were being stalked. He kept looking behind his shoulder. I tried to ignore him and enjoy the feeling in being in the city again, it felt like I was back home. Just different. For one, my mother wasn't here. Which sucked. What were Hades plans with my mother?
I stopped ignoring Grover and yanked him into an alleyway. "What's up with you?" I asked in a high pitched whiney voice. I flushed bright red, trying to contain my voice. I sounded like a jealous girlfriend.
"Nothing," Grover made direct eye contact with me for the first time in what felt like years. What is he doing? Does he not want to help me anymore? I felt surprisingly... heartbroken.
"If you wanna back out now, thats fine, I get it," I noticed how close Grover's face was to mine. "I— get it,"
"Gods! Percy, It's not that, this place just brings back memories," He blurt, looking hurt. I never thought about how Grover felt about this whole situation. I'm such an awful person.
"Oh," my voice cracked, "Sorry," I blurt, hoping Grover didn't think I was the most horrible person in the world. My mind went to the alleyway we were currently standing in. I winced, realizing how sick this place actually made me feel.
"Gro—ver—" I whispered, grabbing the sleeve of his jacket. His eyes met mine, and he was going to say something, before he did he was interrupted.
"Hello boys," the man smirked, he was wearing all black and had a creepy aura that made me instantly feel unsafe. "Sorry to break this ADORABLE moment up, but Grover... time to pay!"
"Grover?" I looked to Grover, taking my eyes off the man for a second. "W-Who is that?" I blinked.
"You didn't tell him?! Tut tut Grover! I'm Hades Lord — GOD — of the underworld, and you're trespassing in MY realm. It's time to pay boys." The man grinned exposing his crystal white teeth. I looked to Grover, his eyes were filling up with tears.
Grover looked down at me, and I realized I was still holding onto his arm, he pulled me into a hug, and I accepted it. "I'm sorry Perseus," he whispered in my ear, "I failed protecting you,"
