Ashline's POV
'By the gods, I've been stuck in this hell hole for who knows how long...' I thought leaning back against the wall opposite of the door so if someone came in I would be ready. The only light was coming through the small window of the door, and even then the light seems as if its from a lantern. Because of this the room is nearly pitch black. The room is also not overly large, it would barely fit two of me if I laid down. Not only that, this damn room blocks out all of my abilities.
It's easy to tell that the monsters are shocked that I am not yet insane. Any mortal that enters the pit of Tartarus, their mind will most likely go. The only reason I'm still sane is because I was trained to be strong and not to go down without a fight. That and there is no way in hell I'm letting a hole get the best of me.
I'v heard, by listening to the Giant's conversation, that I'm not alone down here... The Giants have captured another demigod. Another powerful one. I feel bad for them, this place is truly hell for demigods. I just hope they get to leave soon so they do not go through what I have.
This place is not right, there is no light, no clean water, and no other sounds other that the sounds of the screams the the fighting monsters and the Giants the walk by every once and a while. I guess that makes me sound like a spoiled brat 'no clean water' but what would you expect? I was raised by the gods. Though at this moment that fact only makes me more embarrassed. I was raised and trained by the gods and I was defeated and captured so easily.
*Flashback*
"I'll be fine, and I'll send you an Iris Message the moment that I reach the underworld." I told Zeus through the Iris Message. I was going to visit Hades in the underworld for my 15th birthday, but he doesn't know that I was coming yet.
"Alright, alright just be careful Ashline I've told you what's happening with Gaea awakening." Zeus warned. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah I know. You've only told me everyday for nearly six months now." I told him.
"I'm only saying this because if you were captured, that would anger all of us, not just your mother. And a bunch on angry gods is not what the world needs right now." He said before ending the Iris Message.
"Really Zeus, really? Do you always get the last word?" I yelled at the sky, knowing that he could hear me. I jumped when I heard the rumble of thunder in the sky. "Sorry, sorry," I said. Then under my breath, "temper mental god." Just then lightening flashed down about a quarter of a mile from me. "Holy crap! I'm sorry just knock it off with the lightening!" I screamed.
-Fast forward-
"Why does L.A. need to be so fricking far from New York City?" I said to no one in particular. I had just got to California and was still about seventy to seventy-five miles from the entrance to the underworld.
Currently I'm sitting in a booth at a Subway eating my BLT staring out the window. To me, Subway is one of the best mortal food places so the few times that I'm allowed to leave Olympus I always eat at one.
I sighed and pulled out my iPod and put in my earphones. The first song is 'Just Forget the World' by Snow Patrol. It's my favorite song by them. 'I really love this song, but hate this band.' I thought as I hummed the song.
I stood up put my iPod in my jeans pocket, slung my backpack onto my back, then threw away my trash and pulled out my keys to my bike I can't stand riding in cars so my uncle gave me a motorcycle. It's a black and dark blue Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. It's my baby.
I had just walked out, keys in hand, when someone grabbed my wrist and yanked my so that I faced my attacker. My first response, I threw an uppercut into his/her jaw. I hear a satisfying "Ouch" and pulled my arm away and flipped away from whoever attacked me.
I look and saw a boy around my age. He was pretty hot. He had dark colored hair and chocolate brown eyes that had this hidden spark of mischief in them. He was wearing black converse, dark colored jeans, a black shirt and a gray-blue denim jacket. A lot of dark colors, but it seemed to fit him. Then I realized that this was the boy that was sitting in the booth next to me.
"Ouch, damn you've got quite the uppercut." he said rubbing his jaw.
"Th-thanks," I stuttered, not used to compliments.
"Sorry to grabbing you, but you left your phone on the table." he said, handing me my phone.
"Oh, thanks," I replied, sticking it into a pocket in my backpack. "Sorry for hitting you, it's kinda a reflex."
" It's okay, I understand that kind of reflex. I'm Nico by the way, Nico Di Angelo." he stuck his hand out.
