Avery's POV

I stand in shock as she smiles at me. I feel Natasha push me forward. I slowly walk up to her and she gives me a calming light smile.

"Hello Avery." Her light voice says and I pull her into a hug. I close my eyes and try and imagine how this is possible. I slowly release her and look at my Father. He is grinning.

"I- uh Mother.... you're okay." I breathe out.

She lightly touch's my cheek and I smile.

"Francis, welcome my friend." Hades says walking up to my father shaking his hand. "Claire. Pleasure to see you've returned safety." Hades grins while kissing her hand.

"It's a pleasure to be back." My mother says looking behind me at everyone. She then looks me up and down. "You look beautiful Avery."

"She sure does." I hear Liam whisper. My mom looks up at him Ash smacks his stomach. I giggle at her. Natasha pushes Ash over to me.

"What are you doing?" She asks Natasha as Natasha fails to push her.

"Go over there." Natasha whispers.

"Nope I'm good here." Ash shakes her head.

"Why don't we head inside." Hades says signaling to the doors.

"That would be lovely." Father says putting his arm out for my mother to take. They follow hades in. Everyone follows but me and Ash.

"So your mum.... is here." Ash says aloud trying to make sense of the situation.

"Ya..." I grin. "Ash I'm so happy." I giggle out jumping up to hug her. She catches me wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Good." She whispers. I kiss her cheek and she lets me go. I take her hand and pull her inside. We take a few turns and let go of each other's hands when we make it to the meeting room doors.

"There you two are." Father says as we enter and Liam chuckles.

"What were you guys up to?" Zac questions.

"We were making plans with your Mum for later tonight." Ash says annoyed and Zacs smirk falters. Liam starts laughing.

"Grow up." Hades says to all three of them to get them to stop their conversation. I sit down next to my mother. Hades sits at the end of the table and my father sits at the other end. Natasha sits across from me. Liam, Zac, and Ash stand behind Hades. Liam has his hands in his leather jack pocket as he watches everyone's movements. Zac is leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. Ash is playing with a swinging knife. It's very intimidating and her green eyes are piercing into my father.

My father has three guards standing in a way more formal manner behind him. They stand still with no sound. They watch the tree behind Hades. They mostly watch Ash. Her knife is making everyone in the room nervous.

"Hey Ash wanna our the knife away?" Natasha asked confidently.

"Come over here and take it if your that confident." She says keeping her eyes on father.

"Ash." I say lightly and she looks at me. Her eyes grow a little softer but she shakes her head and looks back at Francis.

Hades clears his throat to speak, "I believe we all know why we are here." He starts. "Every Demon in this room wants your daughter to be able to travel freely from both sides."

"Why would you want that? What has you so interested in my daughter?" Francis asks leaning back in his chair, trying to be the alpha.

"We are interested in keeping your daughter safe. That's all." Hades says sitting back too. I roll my eyes at both of them.
