Vanessa's POV
I sensed someone near me as I held my best friend tight against my chest, tears streaming my face. I whispered incoherent words as I pulled Jacobi close to me, he reached out and gripped my shirt. I choked back sobs as his voice wavered from the blood caught in his throat, "I-I'm sorry N-N-Ness..." his voice trailed off as I felt his body go limp against my own.
I looked up as the moonlight surrounded Jacobi and I, it felt like time stood still when the figure I sensed earlier moved around us, still staying hidden in the shadows of the night. I squinted trying to make out any distinct features of their face or body, then they stepped forward into the light revealing their face to me. My eyes traveled up their body, and finally to their face. My breath caught in my throat.
I recognized his face, he was there when I had been near death laying in the hospital after I was attacked by the person who betrayed my trust, and now the only person I trusted after that incident was dead in my arms. He saved me and gave me the most chilling looks that I had never forgotten. His blue eyes held more darkness than any pair of brown eyes I had ever seen before.
His name was one I'll always remember to this very day, his name you ask well it is the only name that strikes fear into the hearts of millions.
His name was Hades, King of the Underworld...
