Chasing the Chaos

Ch. 18

I watched the guards continued to glare at me and I glared back at them. I opened my mouth and started singing that talks about fainting. The guards just passed out and I waved Fred over to me. I smirked to myself and high-fived Fred. Fred seemed so proud of himself.

"Come on let's go. I don't like standing here. I don't know long they are going to be down for the count" I urged Fred and Fred nodded agreeing to me. We slowly walked down the halls of Hades domain. It was strange because I saw ghosts walking around the hallways. Fred didn't seem weirded out at all.

"How come you don't find this strange at all" I asked Fred and Fred shrugged his shoulders acting like it was far from the truth.

"I'm not new to this world unlike you" Fred mentioned to me while I held tight with my backpack. I didn't want to lose my backpack and I felt hands picking me up from the ground and basically dragged me and Fred and threw us down and that's where I saw where I was. I was by the throne of Hades the god of the underworld. He tilted his head while walking down picking my head up from the ground. My face was bleeding but I looked back at Fred who was still held tightly. I could hear his bones crutching and I flinched hearing that sound. It reminded me of my own childhood.

"Hello Lyric Green. I heard so much about the new protégé of Apollo" Hades held my face tight in his hands forcing me to stare at his eyes. He had this wicked smile on his face and I felt an urge to punch him. I looked at Persephone who just glared at me and she had this wicked grin. Finally, Hades let go of my face and my head fell looking down at the ground.

"What did you do to Apollo" I asked Hades and Hades laughed while shaking his head.

"I did nothing to Apollo and it's funny how you refused to acknowledge him as your father makes me wonder what would Apollo think of that" Hades grumbled out loud to me while he walked back to his throne and I just glared at him.

"I'm not scared of you" I yelled at Hades before my arms was held tightly by the guards. Hades just laughed in response before I heard a painful scream coming from Fred. I looked at Fred and Fred gave me a weak smile before falling down. The guards were hurting him and it was my fault. I couldn't heal him from this distance.

"You see the more time you disrespect me the more your buddy gets hurt" Hades said while laughing slightly. I felt a sense of angry growing in me. I just glared at him. Fred mumbled ot me and I remembered what he said earlier. Everyone was counting on me and I already lost one friend and I wasn't about to lose another one.

"Let go of him. This doesn't have anything to do with him. This is between me and you" I said to Hades and Hades just kept his wicked cruel smile placed on his face.

"You see I would but then I wouldn't have any leverage on you" Hades told me and I just sighed thinking about how much Hades was reminding me of my mortal father. He was cruel and he always wanted to find my weaknesses. I saw Persephone looking through my bags before crushing the mirror onto the floor breaking it and I felt my stomach hurt a little bit.

"You are evil" I commented to both of the god and the goddesses. Hades just laughed at me. He was laughing at m pain and I felt sort of anger burning of me. I was tired of everyone hurting me and doing everything to break me. All of sudden I heard the guards hit the cemented wall losing consciousness. Hades eyes went wide and so did Persephone. I wasn't going to let anyone hurt me anymore. I said I wasn't going to be the same after this and I'm not ever going to forget what Hades did to my friends.

"You see I'm tired of you and the world hurting me" I screamed at Hades while light shot through my hands and destroyed the throne. I felt like I was floating, Fred was staring up at me with amazement. He had this beaming grin along with a black eye and his nose was bleeding. "This is what you are going to do for me before I destroyed this lair. You are going to let go of Fred then you will revive Apollo and lastly you will not hurt anyone" I stepped up to Hades and Hades gulped probably in fear. I was no longer afraid of anyone anymore.
