Chasing the Chaos

Ch. 17

It was a creature that I had never seen before but judging from how Fred was reacting. It was making me nervous.

"What's going on" I whispered to Fred and Fred sighed while standing pretty still.

"Stay still and this creature will go away" Fred advised me and I just nodded my head. I had to trust that what Fred was saying was actually helping and not trying to get me killed at all.

"Okay" I whispered back to him standing completely still until my light was beaming off my hand. I tried to block the light off but it was no luck. The creature had one eye and I knew I couldn't stop the light from showing up. Fred looked worried at me but it was too late the creature saw me. I couldn't let him harm Fred or even Flora at all.

"Hey, leave them, alone" I stepped in front of Fred who was now holding Flora in his hands. The creature just glared at me and I just glared back at him before removing my gloves showcasing the light that was radiating off my hands.

"If I was you I would look away" I told Flora and Fred and they both covered their eyes. All I saw was the creature stumbling around causing the ground to shake and he was screaming in pain. "Now would be good for us to run off" I mentioned to them and all three of us was running away to the fastest speed not even stopping to catch our breaths at all. I felt all of us slide down into a hole and it was dark but it had torches lit up on the side of the cave.

"Where are we" I turned towards Fred and Fred sighed taking in the sight by looking around us.

"It looks like we are getting closer to finding the underworld and running into Hades" Fred shrugged his shoulders acting like it was no big deal but it was too me.

"We really need to come up with a plan actually huh" I told Fred while we walked down the lit hallway of the cave.

"Yup" Fred said to me while we walked the rest in silence. I was thinking of what could poison Apollo, he was a god so I thought they were immortal but maybe I was wrong about the strength of these gods. I was beginning to think that I was running out of time to save Apollo and the world. I couldn't help but kept thinking about the prophecy that affected me. I still had my backpack on my back. The hallway began to get narrow and narrower and eventually we got stuck in following after each other.

"Have you been done here before" I asked Fred and Fred just shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe once considering that my parents were murdered and this is where all the lost soul go actually" Fred gave me a frown before facing forward. We kept walking until I saw someone standing at the end of the hallway.

"LYRIC GREEN" I heard the person say and I just told Fred to stop and I walked closer to someone.

"Persephone" I greeted her and she gave me a small smile on her face.

"Welcome to my domain" She gave me a sideways smile and I just stared at her.

"I thought this was Hades domain and I thought you just got stuck down here" I pointed out to her and she just glared at me. I looked back at Fred and I just shrugged my shoulders acting like it was no big deal.

"I swear you have a smartass mouth that should be shut sometimes" Persephone stated to me while just glaring at me and her hands on her hips.

"Oh, well" I replied to her back with sass and I was trying to push my way out of her.

"I can't and won't let you go into my domain. The underworld belongs to me and I have control of who gets to come in and who doesn't. By the way your little flower friend seems to be dying actually" Persephone turned away and walked away before shutting the pathway to Hades lair. I rushed to see Flora was about to pass out and I could her green turning a brown.
