Poor Unfortunate Sea

Chapter 8: The Blood Diamond

Hayden's POV

I am walking around campus when I bump into someone and everything in my bag spills out, and that includes the two diamonds. "Heidi? Your back?" I look up at the girl as I put things back into my bag. She has long dark brown hair, beautiful blue studded earrings in her ears, an open light blue jacket with a white blouse underneath, a necklace with a pair of silver wings on it, a fancy looking bracelet on her left wrist, slung over her right shoulder is a light blue bag, and finally she has a pair of grey and white sneakers. "Is Harry back too?" She asks as I finish putting everything back into my bag. I shake my head softly letting out a dramatic sigh. "Have we met before?" I girl takes a step back slowly brushing her hair out of her face. "We have met before, I am Pearl, the daughter of Pegasus." I let out a very loud growl not wanting anything to do with her just by her father who is one of reasons why I got stuck on that insufferable island. "I am very busy right now." I say getting closer to her with a dangerous tone in my voice, and it takes everything in me not to destroy her right here right now. "I actually really need to talk to you about something." The more time I spend around her the more I can feel my masquerade slipping. "Pearl I would love to stay and catch up but like I said I am on my way somewhere, but as soon as I am done I will come and find you." Pearl sighs and I notice that she slowly places her hands on her stomach, and something tells me that there is a reason that she looked like she saw a ghost when she noticed who I am, and why she might be looking for Harry. "Alright, I guess it can wait." Pearl rushes off as tears well up in her eyes, and I start laughing. "Looks like Mount Olympus isn't everything people think it is." I laugh my evil laugh as I start heading to the place that I will finally put the blood diamond back in one piece. I make my way back to the museum and head inside the room that is dedicated to my so-called father. "The people of Auradon sure don't have much of an imagination do they." I roll my eyes making my way back into the room and pulling out the two diamonds from my bag. "Now let's see if I remember how to do this." I say taking a deep breath as I place a diamond in each hand. "Forces of darkness guide me though my way, let your powers give me what I want most today, let this necklace that is now spilt become whole, and with its power take my enemies soul!" I chant and I bring the two diamonds together. I look down to see that the two diamonds are now one, and they have become the blood diamond once more. "It is beautiful." I say admiring the dark and evil looking piece of jewelry that now lays in my hands. "I am now more powerful than the almighty Hades himself." I smile down at the necklace gently running my hands over it and I can feel the power pulsating from within the necklace, and I feel myself being drawn to the necklace almost like it is calling to me and telling me to use it. I smile as I close my eyes enjoying the feeling of the necklace. "Once Heidi is out of my life for good I am going to take my rightful place as Queen of the Underworld." I stand up and walk over to the statue of Cerberus that is in the back of the room. "You are the only one that trust with something as important as protecting this." I place the necklace around the statues neck. "I will be back for as soon as can." I head out of the room and back towards campus as I pull the list of the items I am going to need to give Dr. Facilier so he can make his serum. "The first thing on this list is hair of a princess." I let out a loud laugh. "Auradon has plenty of those, believe me." I say cracking myself up. I end up picking someone that I know that will help me even if she doesn't know that she is. I knock on her dorm door which use to be Heidi's old dorm room before she moved in with Harry. The door opens and Ella stands there smiling at me. "What a pleasant surprise." I walk up to her giving her a fake loving hug. "We didn't get to talk much in before in the office, and I thought that we could sit down and catch up, I feel like I have missed so much." Ella pulls out of the hug and pulls me into the room closing the door behind her. "It is not your fault Heidi, you have a mental illness, and besides I am sure that you will overcome this just like you have overcome so much already in your life." I feel this aching in my stomach. "You are starting to sound like everyone else, I mean even Ben is having someone watch just in case I go off the deep end again." Ella sighs shaking her head. "ben took it very hard when you left, and it took him even longer to back being himself." I take Ella's in mine and look deep into her eyes. "We have all night to talk about me, but before we do that I really want to hear about you, and you never did tell me about your trip back home." Ella opens a drawer and pulls out a little book in the shape of a snowflake. "Luckily I have pictures." I look at the book then to Ella. "You go Hadie to take a picture?" Ella rolls her eyes playfully at me. "I took a lot to talk him into it but eventually he agreed to take one picture." Ella opens the book and begins to talk about her boring trip back home.
