Chapter Six—The next day after school school—
The next day at school was dull as usual.
The fun was after school. Junior, Lura, Axl, Icarus, Cassandra and
Torch went over to Phil’s Island to make a surprise visit. We coaght
Herc in the middle of hero training and Phil was upset as usual.
“This kid wants to be a hero, so let him train
for once!” shouted the angry satyre.
“Aw Phil, it’s just one day.” Herc said.
“We can help him.” I said “It will be fun!”
“I don’t think so Callisto…” Phil said crossing
his arms.
“Yeah!” Herc said.
We helped Herc train. In return, we got pulled
muscles. I operated this monster-like thing first. Junior helped
me, and so did Axl. Lura just watched. Herc beat that, so we
had to move on to thenext one. We set up a mock battle. I rode
Torch and was armed. Junior was a warrior and so was Axl. Lura
just watched again, this time joined by Icarus and Cassandra, who just
had a vision, but no one payed much attention to her.We fought until I
was nocked off of Torch and hit the ground hard. Phil gave me some
ice. We ended the training sesion there.
Little did we know we were being watched by Chaos.
He and Sciron, his griffon, were spying on us and making a mischiefous
plan. “Uncle Hades is gonna go thermal when he finds this out.” Chaos said
to Sciron, who nodded in return. They both flew off to the Pits to
plan out their evil plan.
Back in the Underworld, Hades, Pain and Panic were
in a meeting that Junior and I were ever allowed to attend. The topic
today was the same as it was every week, which was to kill Hercules.
This took place in the throne room which would be locked.
Chaos knew about the meetings because he was a
good spy. Chaos could also get Sciron to pick lockesgood. He
odered Sciron to pick the lock to the throne room because for his plan
to work, the door needed to be opened. He sat outside the door waiting
for Junior, Torch and I to return.
He waited thirty minutes for us. I saw him
as Torch was flying us in. I was not to happy. We landed and
I dismounted. Junior helped Lura off.
“Why are you here dork?” I said.
“You don’t know what happened?” Chaos said.
“What happened?” asked Junior.
“To Hades. He was in an accident.” Replied Chaos.
“What happended to him?” I shouted.
“Athena came, and wow man, stuff really went flying!
I never knew she could ever pursuade Zeus to come and use a lightning bolt
on Hades.”
“Athena? No way…” I said in disbelief.
“Do you know that one of Zeus’s lightning bolts
can melt another god’s skin?” Chaos said.
“No!” I shouted as I ran for the door.
Inside the room, Hades was explianing to his two
imps his plan. He had a big sheet of Phil’s Island out, and a picture
of Herc and Pegasus up that he was using as a dart board. All eyes
were n me as I came crashing through the door. I was horified to see what
these meetings were about. I had no clue that Hades hated Herc so
much. This upsetted me because I was friends with Herc. Hades
gasped when he saw my expression. “Hades?” I said as I was shocked
to find that he was not bruised at all from the so called fight.
I knew that Chaos was lying then.
“Calli!” Hades said as he stumbled for words.
“What…You know you are not allowed in here!” Junior, Torch and Lura
entered also. Hades didn’t want us to know of his plans because he
did not want it to interfere with our lives, well, at least not yet.
“Why do you hate Herc so much?” I questioned.
“I ,..uh… Calli, he is not….um, how can I say this…”
he said as he tought for words. “He’s Zeus’s kid, Um, I just don’t
want… um… I-I don’t want ta have hm hurt yous, that’s it! I don’t
want yas to do anything together because Zeus wants to get even with me,
yeah.” Lied Hades.
“Well, it is too late for that Uncle,” Chaos said,
who was leaning against the doorway. “Your little Calli and Junior are
friends with him. In fact, they just came back from helping him train.”
“YOU WHAT!!??!!” Hades shouted as he changed
into a fireball. “ You are friends with that…that…WONDERJERK!”
“Yes!” I shouted as I yelled back. We were
both realy pissed at each other.
“I forbid it! You are not allowed to see him or
speak with him, or anything with him? You understanding me?” Hades
said growing redder with each word.
“What the hell for? Because your petty reasons--”
I shouted back in his face.
“Don’t you talk back to me girl!” Hades shouted
as he grabbed my wrists. I instantly stopped shouting and returned
to my original color because I was afriad that he would hit me. Hades
released me when he realized how frightened I was. “Oh, Calli! I
am sorry…” Hades said as he realized that he really upset me.
I just walked out of the room without saying anything. I saw Chaos
by the door smiling because his plan worked. I lost control and went
berserk on him. Sciron came in to Chaos’s aid, but Torch came to
my rescue. The two of them fought in mid air. Hades and Junior
had to pull us apart. Chaos ended up burnt to a crisp. I had
to calm Torch down as Chaos did the sameto Sciron. Torch had a sprianed
wing and Sciron ended up with some bruises. I kicked Hades so he
would let me goand I ran off to my room. Junior followed.
“ I think she took that rather well.” Chaos said.
In our room, I balled my eyes out. Junior tried
to confort me, but he was upset also. How could we be so blind I
thought. We hardly got any sleep that night.
