The Untold (Unedited)

Annika's POV
"First the eyes at dinner now it's the mind reading?" Hades says as he paces the bedroom. "These abilities are meant for me!" He nearly shouts.

How selfish.

"Is there anyone we can talk to about it? The fates? Zeus maybe?" I say leaning against the headboard. He stops and turns to me. His dark eyes asses me and it begins to creep me out a little, so I decide to test my new abilities. Without breaking eye contact I push towards his mind with mine looking for something that could potentially be his head. When I find a solid barrier I assume it's his big head. I nudge it and it moves easily. Trying again I push harder and without a warning his thoughts flood into mine, but only one stands out.

Get out of my head Annika.

I jump and pull back not expecting him to realize what I had been doing.

"Don't do that." He says and continues his pacing.

I nod not saying a word. He paces for a while longer, but stops to say something.

"We can visit Zeus and see if he has an answer to this. We leave in ten"

I nod again, but this time I get out of the bed and walk to the door to go find some clothes in my room. That's when I realize I don't know where my room is. Stopping I turn to Hades to ask if he could guide me back, but before I can fully face him the world begins to fade away and an electric shock begins to run through my veins. I'm taken back to when I first arrived here and just as I remembered the pain, it came. The electric shock that felt like fire in my body only this time it felt ten times worse than before. A scream violently shakes me as I'm transported through the air. Before I know it I'm sprawled on the floor of my room gasping for air. Not long after Hades burst through the door, a frantic look on his face. He is now fully dressed in dark jeans and a dark T-shirt, but still has bed head which I find to be kind of a good look for him.

"We leave NOW!" He marches over to me and gently helps me up from the floor. I feel like jello, so as soon as I'm on my feet I'm on the floor within a second. Hades groans, but instead of helping me up he simply scoops me up bridal style.

"Close your eyes." He demands. I shake my head still feeling the vibrations from my last teleporting adventure.

"Please Annika." With that I groan and close my eyes per his request. This time I barely feel the electric current, but it's still there and the pain is as well, just not as horrid. We travel for a little longer than we have before, and I can tell but when Hades tells tells me to open my eyes I know why. We traveled from the very bottom of the earth to the highest point possible. Olympus, the place where the greatest Gods gather.

"Wow." I say as I take in all of its glory. The large stone entrance that has six large pillars representing the six great Gods Zeus, Hestia, Hades, Hera, Poseidon, and Demeter and two extra which represents the fallen king Cronus and Rhea his wife. It was reconstructed before Cronus had become fearful of his children, and swallowed them. Rhea and Cronus believed their family was the most powerful through the line of royals. To the left and right side of the entrance stood two y'all building that each held a sharp point at the top. The pale blue color of them gave off a really nice sky vibe.

"Zeus should be in the family room during this time of day." Hades said walking up the hundred stairs that led to the entrance of Olympus. He still carries me in his arms and I of course did not offer to get down and walk myself. When we made it to the top the first person I saw was a man with wings and a small plated skirt like thing hugging his waist. His muscles seemed too large for a shirt which is probably why he didn't have one on. He had bright red hair that shagged in front of his face and green eyes that shone right through those hairs. His smile was bright and his pink lips framed his white teeth perfectly.

"Annika!" He said and he flew towards Hades and I. Literally.

"Hermes?" I asked remembering all I knew on the Greek God, but the man I had met on earth was young like me, but he didn't look like the man I saw now. I figured he had been in his god form because he looked so young and handsome.

"Yeah, it's me! I'm hotter as a god." He says smiling and rubbing the back of his neck.

I laugh and so does he. "It's nice to see you. Where did you go after you dropped my father and I off?" I had been wondering that since he zoomed off so quickly.

"I came here actually. Yeah, Zeus and Hera needed me to get a message to Poseidon and I needed to go meet him in the middle of the pacific." He says chuckling.

I looked up at Hades to see if he was going to acknowledge Hermes. He hadn't said a word since he showed up, and for some reason he seemed to be slightly tense.

"Well it's nice to see you again Hermes, but Hades and I must get going." I say hoping to get to Zeus ASAP and to get Had-

"Yeah yeah! That's fine. See you soon?" He asks. I nod and we exchange smiles. Hermes flies away as soon as Hades starts walking towards the entrance of Olympus.

"Walking is gonna take too long Annika." Hades says. I understand what he's saying so I close my eyes and the electric current runs through my veins except without any pain at all. I smile and open my eyes only to find a very intimidating man standing in front of Hades and I. His light blonde hair is slicked back with a nice temple fade and his beard matches his hair perfectly. He wears perfectly ironed white slacks and a sky blue button up shirt. His shoes resemble the Italian leather I see in the movies and I wonder how they even get this stuff. Staring into his ice blue eyes I find the handsomeness in this man. He seems to be at least thirty, and I feel myself grow warm the longer he stares. Not out of lust but pure embarrassment because of the fact that I'm still in my pajamas.

"You must be Annika." He says with a voice like silk. "Welcome to Olympus." He ends with a smile. I look up at Hades and he's already looking down at me. I quickly turn away.

What is going on with us?!
