Chapter 5
"Seriously, you just told her? Are you stupid? No wait don't answer that."
"For the love of Hades would you please just shut up!"
"No, because we finally found someone who has no idea who we are and then you go and mess it up!"
"Charon, you know that it can't stay here. Hades is going to kill me, us, when he finds out we brought her here."
"Could you two please keep it down?" I yawn out as I rub the sleep from my eyes before looking at the two idiots. Charon has a huge smile on his gorgeous face while Mr Hot-Head is glaring. Shocking.
"Do you remember anything Dion?" Charon asks as he hands me a glass of water. I take it with a soft thank you before drinking it quickly. I put the glass down before runnung through everything that has just recently happened. Alright, so I have been kidnapped by those two over there, Mr Hot-Head hates me, then tried to take me home before...
"What's the Underworld?" I ask them once I remember everything Cerberus said. They look at me in shock before looking at each other then leaving the room.
"Well thanks for answering my question." I mumble to myself before pulling the blankets off then standing up. I groan as I stretch my aching muscles before heading into the bathroom. I do my business then walk out again, noticing that they're here again.
"You really have no idea what the Underworld is?" Cerberus asks me as if I'm such an idiot not to know. I shake my head no before sitting back down on the bed, looking up at them for an explanation.
"Liar! If you had no idea what the Underworld is then you wouldn't have fainted when I told you about it-"
"I fainted 'cause you said we're under the Earth, excuse me for not being mentally prepared to know that! So how 'bout you get your facts straight before accusing me of lying!" I yell at him in anger. You can say many things to me, I've heard it all, but you do not call me a liar. I loathe liars. I suddenly hear an animalistic growl before I feel a hand around my throat, hoisting me up, cutting off my ability to breath.
"Watch what you say to me you piece of shit!" He snarls at me, barring his teeth at me like a dog. I never knew a glare could be as hateful as his was, and I've received many.
"Y-You s-should watch w-what y-you say! I'm n-not scared of y-you C-Cerberus!" I gasp out in anger as I continue to glare down at him. He chuckles darkly before dropping me to the ground, stepping away from me. I begin to cough uncontrollably, gasping for the needed air.
"You humans are so stupid! If you saw who I really was you'd be scared to death!" He snarls again, pacing back and forth by the wall. Once I regain my breath I look over at him, then Charon. He stares down at me in complete shock. I raise an eyebrow at him, making him shake his head before walking over to Cerberus. He whispers something in his ear, making said man, snarl in anger before stomping out the room. I rest my head against the wall, closing my eyes.
"You humans are really stupid." I suddenly hear Charons voice say from in front of me. I open my eyes, looking at him with slight annoyance.
"Why? Why is it so stupid for standing up for myself? A person can call me anything they want, I wouldn't care, but you do not call me a liar." I say to him seriously. He continues to sit there, starring at me.
"You're a very different kind of human. I like it." He says, smiling his usual smile. I roll my eyes before thanking him.
"Now can you finally explain to me, what the hell is going on?" I ask him exasperated. He chuckles before nodding his head and telling me to follow him. I do so and we walk down another hallway until we reach a pair of wooden doors. He opens them with a creak before walking in. As I step into the room I notice it's a room full of books. The walls are packed and packed with books, everywhere around me was words on pages. Words that expressed so much emotions and held so much knowledge. I didn't know whether to cry or jump up and down in excitement.
Now I understand the phrase 'I've died and gone to heaven'.
"It's beautiful." I whisper more to myself but I'm sure Charon heard me. He calls me over to a huge shelf of books as he searched for a specific book. I ran my fingers over all the spines, loving the feel of them. I pull one from the shelf before opening it. As I looked down at the words I tried to read them, which was very difficult.
"Z-Zeus h-had t-trick-ked P-Pers-sephone int-to-"
"Can't you read?" I hear Charons voice ask me. My head snaps up and I blush in embarrassment. I quickly put the book back in its place before clearing my throat.
"So what did you want to show me?" I ask, trying to change the subject. He looks me over sceptically before waving me over to a round wooden table. He placed, what I believe to be, the biggest book I have ever seen in my life.
"This will explain everything you need to know. I'd stay to help but I have work and so does Cerberus." He says nervously while scratching the back of his head.
"It's okay Charon. I'll be alright. Have fun at work." I say before sitting down, smiling up at him enthusiastically. I've never gotten the privilege to read something other than one book in my entire life.
"Alright well, I recommend reading the sections about Cerberus and I first before moving onto everything else. So you'll know who we are some more and realise that you shouldn't piss off Cerberus." I roll my eyes but nod my head, showing that I understand.
"Thank you so much for this Charon."
"Uh, you're welcome?" He says, or rather, asks before heading out and closing the door.
"Oh, I forgot to mention. Cerberus and I will be gone for a day or two so you can help yourself to the food and just two rules. No going outside, and do not let anyone see you. Alright bye Dion!"
Strange, I thought to myself before turning to the section that marked Charon.
"Let's get started."
