Twisted Kingdom {From the I love him trilogy} (3 of 3)

5. Hades Ember

Sasha's Pov
"Come here little rascal." My dad hugged me and slung his arm over my shoulder as we walked further into the arcade and away from the other VKs.
"So, what kind of hustle you got going on with them shiny people and your sister?"
"No hustle. I got friends on the other side." I replied smoothly as I searched for the key to Hades hideout.
"Ah! I hear you. I hear you." My dad chuckled in understanding
"We're on a mission. I'm kind of a major player so that's why I can't stay long." I shrugged as I hung the key around my neck.
"You make sure you get your cut." He warned because us Facilier never get cheated.

Sierra's Pov
"Alerts of the sleeping spell keep coming in as it spreads throughout Auradon." The blasting TV announced the current state of Auradon.
"Uh. guys. Come look at this." Carlos further pulled everyone's attention to the device.
"There are rumors that the Fairy Godmother's daughter, Jane, is behind the spell. We're trying to discover who is responsible for these vicious lies,
and which villain has perpetrated this evil. We have an update. It's what?
It's moving this way? It is moving this way!" The man shouted clearly scared of succumbing to the wicked spell.

"Wow! Rookie mistake?" Carlos sighed as he saw our enemies on our bikes when we made it outside
"Long time nay see." Harry Hook said in his Scottish accent
"Get off my bike, Hook." Jay threatened the other villain as they started driving off
"Catch me if you can, Jay." He spoke in a taunting voice as he sped off
"Over the roofs!" Jay demanded as he started after them
"Cut them off." Carlos spoke up following close behind.
"Yup." I agreed about to take off with the others
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, not you two." Mal said as she grabbed Sasha and I, "They got this. We gotta go find the ember."
"Good timing. It's right about his nap time." Sasha replied looking up from her watch.

We walked up to a door with a homemade skull and cross bones that read "GET LOST". Sasha turned the skull key in the small lock built into the door, when Mal spoke up, "Hey. How big is that dog?"
"You'll see." I spoke up with a smirk
We walked into the dim cave and over to a bike like structure.
"Okay, stay quiet. It echoes, like, crazy in here." Sasha whispered to both of us but mostly to Mal, an angry sounding loud bark echoed through the cave scaring Mal stiff. "Come on. Come, come." Sasha waves her over so we could continue to the actual hideout.

We biked through the long mine like structure with electricity surging in its walls. When we finally arrived to Hades's hideout we peered through the doorway of the place and Sasha pointed out Hades ember. Mal still seemed slightly on edge because of the lack of knowledge about the "dog" somewhere in the building, so I pointed toward the scratchy record player that replayed the barking a thousand times over.
We crept down the stairs trying to remain as quiet as possible and Mal went for the ember after I stopped the record player.
"What are you doing here?" He asked unamused with his glasses still on his face.
"I noticed you were low on canned corn." Sasha replied as she tossed him a can. As soon as Mal reached for the stone, Hades grabbed her hand.
"Hi, Dad." Mal sighed with defeat at the fact that she had been caught trying to steal the ember.
"Quite a show you put on the other day." Hades smirked wickedly
"Right back at you."
"Hmm. I was just coming to see you." He stated slyly
"Really? Wonder why." Mal fired back sarcastically, "Is it because I'm gonna be Queen?"
"Ah! Now, Mal, don't be bitter."
"You abandoned me when I was a baby!" She accuser
"No. No, I left your mother. She's not the easiest person to get along with." Hades replied rolling his eyes
"You think?"
"Huh. You see? We have something in common already. We both hate your mother." He said smugly
"No. I don't hate my mother. She may be an evil lunatic, but at least she stuck around." Mal corrected
"Oh! Boo-hoo. Wake up and smell the stink. You think you've had it rough?
I used to be a god! I had an entire world which bore my name. And now I have nothing! And you have no idea what that feels like."
"Really? Because for 16 years, I had nothing. And now, I have a whole world.
But unless I get that ember, it's game over."
"Do you wanna make up for being a lousy dad? Give me the ember." she held her hand out expecting the jewel.
"The ember only works for me." Hades pointed out
"No. It'll work for me. We're blood."
"You're only half Hades. The ember won't do everything for you that it does for me." Hades corrected
"I'll take my chances." Mal stated stubbornly
"If it gets wet, it's game over." He warned her
