Annika's POV
After breakfast Eros, Julio, Harper, and Gio all had business to handle, so they left. For some odd reason everyone else had business to attend to, leaving me and Hades alone. How peculiar.

Hades and I had been walking through an overly huge garden for about an hour now talking about any and everything. So far I had learned what it was like being swallowed by his father, his favorite color, his favorite food, hobby, and sport. He was really unpredictable and it seriously made me smile.

"Would you like to go back to the underworld now?" Hades asks. He had been acting fidgety these last few minutes that we've been walking around. Now I know it's because he was ready to go home.

"Only if you are." I sigh and stop walking. He gives me a half smile and grabs my hand.

"Close your eyes." When I do I immediately feel the vibrations go through my veins. It happens for a while and once they stop I open my eyes. I find myself in Hades room.

"I'm going to go and change." I say as I stand awkwardly next to his bed.

"Alright. Come back in here when you're finished." I nod and Hades walks towards what I assume is his closet or bathroom and disappears inside. I on the other hand decide now would be a good time to practice my powers once again. Thinking of my bedroom I see the world start to fade and I hurriedly close my eyes. The vibrations rip through my body like a strong current pulling someone under. The pain is more bearable now, but it still hurts. I feel myself fall onto something hard and when I open my eyes I'm in the middle of my room on the floor.

"Good job Annika." I whisper to myself as I stand up. I walk over to my closet to find something comfortable, but pretty enough for a Queen. I end up putting on a white sundress since it was pretty warm. I transport myself in front of Hades door.

"I am really getting food at this." I mumble to myself while I knock.

"Come in!"

When I walk inside I don't see Hades. When I close the door he come from the bathroom looking to see who's at his door. He has nothing on a pair of black pants, and I stare like a lovesick puppy at his bare upper body. He has the body of a God, which he is, but damn!"

Am I drooling?

"Uh-hi" I look away and walk towards the chair near his bed. Sitting down I don't look up until I'm sure he went back in the bathroom. I sigh and slump back in the chair. He was going to be the death of me, and it's only been a day!

"Okay Annika, so we need to talk about how to use your new abilities." I look over to where the voice is coming from and low and behold is Hades. This time with a shirt.

"Oh, uh-yeah okay." I sit up straight trying to only look at his face. .

Hades POV (SURPRISE!)
When I told Annika we leave in ten, I did expect her to rush, but what I didn't expect was for her to teleport. When I saw her begin to fade I stood shocked for a little longer than I should've. The scream that filled the room and burst my eardrums is what got me moving though. I jumped and tossed on a pair of black pants and a shirt. I ran towards her room hoping that's where she would end up. When I burst the door open she was laying on the ground.

"We leave now!" I bellowed. I had never been so frantic before, well besides when Persephone disappeared, but this whole ordeal had me on a whole different level of frantic. I tried to help the poor girl up, but she only feel to the ground again. Slightly frustrated I gently pick her up, so she's cradled in my arms.

"Close your eyes." I tell her. She shakes her head telling me no. I get it. When I first began teleporting it was excruciating. I couldn't bear the pain for quite some time, but I got used to it. I should be gentle with her. She's new to all of this.
