Chasing the Chaos

Ch. 23

The next couple days were like hell but today was Evan and his brother funeral. I didn't want to say goodbye to him but I didn't have a choice. I was still pretty much angry at Apollo for not saving Evan. I think that was my last straw, I will never forgive Apollo ever I think. He was never there for me when I needed him to be. I'm tired of the Gods thinking they can mess with people but one day they will realize what it is like to lose someone or something.

I was fixing my tie, I had gotten a customized tux for the funeral. I saw Autumn downstairs wearing a black dress with black heals. We didn't say anything on the way to the funeral. Autumn and I both sat in the back of the church pews. I hated being in church but now I even developed a hatred towards it. I didn't want to be angry but I was so angry. I had to sit through people speeches and I just was thinking this is boring and I rather be anywhere but here. Everyone was getting up now to see Evan and his brother dead brother. I found my feet making it's round up to the casket. My feet stopped right at the casket. I was done crying I thought until I saw his body. I found myself sobbing against his dead cold body but he looked great his lacrosse team uniform. The lacrosse game was canceled and I didn't know how to be fine. After everyone left me and Autumn sat on the steps of the church not saying anything to each other. Autumn and I both didn't know what to say. What do you say to someone who lost their boyfriend or their friend? There is nothing you can say to the person at all. Autumn eventually had to go and she left on the steps not saying anything. I felt a presence sitting down next to me, it was Persephone. She didn't look like she had any human emotions.

"Your boyfriend is dead" She brought that up and I rolled my eyes.

"Thank you for pointing out the obvious" I growled at her and she put her hands in the air.

"Still don't want to take down Olympus" Persephone asked me and she was just not saying anything. I was so pissed off and angry at everyone but did I want to hurt Apollo the way he hurt me by taking away the one thing that meant the most to everyone. Zeus didn't like me, Athena didn't like me. No one liked me on Olympus and if Persephone was offering me way to get my revenge then I should take it right. Apollo wasn't there to protect me from being abused, he wasn't there when my parents were arguing all the time, and even now he wasn't there to save Evan from me.

"Come Lyric, I know you are angry. We would make a great pair. We both want to get revenge on those gods above and plus taking down Olympus and Hades would make my century actually and I have an actual plan" Persephone nudged me and I bit my lip while trying to think of everything.

"What's the plan" I asked her and Persephone smiled at me. She got up leaving once again to my own consuming thoughts about everything and everyone. I didn't deserve to be upset, I should be happy but I'm not anymore. My sense of happiness has been destroyed to pieces. I don't think I can get them back. I finally left the church after the Priest told me to leave the church and I did just that. I walked back to my house in the rain, I didn't mind the rain in the slightest bit. I walked through my house, mom wasn't there but Arthur was. He was drinking heavily. He didn't bother me as I walked up the stairs to my own room. I sat down on my bed while looking forward at my walls. I looked at myself in the mirror and that is when I decided to take a razor and started shaving my hair off. I looked back at myself in the mirror and I couldn't believe what I had just done. I just shaved my hair off with no hesitation at all. I felt the tears coming and landing onto my hands that was covering my mouth in that moment. I walked back to my bed and that's when I saw something on bed. I saw note on my bed. I knew instantly who it came from. It was from Persephone. It was no one else who would send me messages in the slightest bit. I could almost hear her voice while I read the letter.

We have to take down the top 3 which is Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. Once we take down those three then Olympus will crumble. Titans have respect for you since you beat one of their own. It's funny how everything Hades did is going to backfire on them. I was thinking that once you find the person who is Poseidon's offspring then we can take advantage of them and then bam we take down Olympus. It's all about timing. We have to do it when they don't expect it. If we do it now, they will know it's you and they will blame you but no one will expect you if you wait a couple years later. I will continually send messages asking about these updates of Poseidon's offspring. I know you know the prophecy so use it to your advantage. You may think Poseidon's offspring will be powerful but you are one powerful demigod who should not be messed with. It's time for you to prove it to everyone. We will make them see that you are not Apollo's son but something more powerful.
