"And you're just telling me you forgot?" Toni asked again, louder this time. We were all driving to Psyche's house. We figured we shouldn't involve everyone as of yet because we didn't know what we were dealing with.

Oh and we didn't know what to do either.

"How many times do we have to say, we didn't know they were still out there. " Luke defended as he made a right turn into Psyche's street.

"Where is your boyfriend anyways?" Toni asked as we pulled into Psyche's driveway. Luke stopped me from answering by asking me to go get her.

Her house was a normal house. Wraparound garden, doors and windows. Do you need any more information? I yelled from outside the gate (obviously being sane and not climbing the gate). Eventually the gate opened and out came Psyche.

She was a beautiful girl, sixteen now. Tall, fair skin and brown hair. She had brown eyes, a perfect nose, perfect teeth, perfect face. It was a surprise I didn't hate her for being so pretty but the exact opposite. She was my best friend after Toni.

"Well, your majesty, where's Jake?" That's how it always went with her. I was the queen and Death wasn't the king, he was just Jake.

"We got problems." I directed her to the car where the others had gotten out. They said hi and then Luke filled her in.

"So Jake is evil and might destroy Aeolus City; the gods are hunting him and might capture you to bait him and an army named The Lyons are hunting you?" Psyche listed on her fingers. Luke nodded.

"Well let's hunt some Lyons." She said enthusiastically but Luke held her up.

"Now here's something I should tell you that the Lyons are actually a race of werewolves and hunters. That's the reason why they could track you to Durban."

"Okay but then why are they named Lyons?" I asked. Daniel shrugged.

"I guess it was some kind of sick joke." Luke answered. I shook my head. How crazy could these guys be?

We started walking to the car when I got my answer. As I reached for my door's handle, an arrow embed itself where my hand was a moment ago. I yanked my head towards the direction it came and saw dozens of humanoid wolves and hunters with guns, bows and arrows, all facing us.

"You'd think you'd be more careful knowing we're still out here but no, you leave your fully protected house." A man stepped forward. I had to blink a couple of times before I registered him because he did not look like someone who wanted to kill me.

He was tall and muscular, but that's where the cliche stopped. He was coloured, probably having curly hair under his cap, blue eyes, a bit of a beard and perfect teeth. He was dressed casual unlike his men. He was smiling a lot too. I guess he looked a lot different than Jake and definitely didn't fit the image of the leader of the Lyons that I conjured up.

"Well what can I say, I can handle a bunch of hounds any day." I spoke, yanking out the arrow in the door.

Now, confession time, we didn't bring weapons and we didn't have any gods here. Daniel and Luke probably had a gun on them and since this was Daniel's car, he probably had a bow and arrow in his trunk. The only thing was that Psyche was the only other person that could use it. Toni and I were unarmed and I didn't want to call on Nyx. I don't know why but my mind and body hated calling on a goddess for help. That's why I detested Hades being in Jake and had thought he got rid of him. And I hate to say this, even more than what I just said, but I'd gotten used to Jake protecting me. Now I'm going to pay the price for that.

Nonetheless, I lunged at the leader. He smiled and we went down. Luke and Daniel pulled out guns and fired passed us. Meanwhile Toni and Psyche raided Daniel's car, Toni getting a knife and Psyche a bow and arrow.

For a millisecond, it looked like rain. In fact hundreds of arrows were sailing towards the car. My friends took cover. Daniel yanked the leader off me and pulled me for cover.

"Well, hitting me before you even know my name?" The guy laughed. He yelled for his men to stop, and I heard the patter for paws, signaling that the wolves were advancing.

I sat on my knees and saw them approaching. They had long legs that wolves weren't supposed to have, a longer snout and teeth. I'm sure if they wanted to they could stand on two legs.

"Come out, Nyx. Your blood needs to be spilled to start the death of the godli-" He was suddenly interrupted when howl pierced from all around us.

My first thought, it was one of his own and he was about to tell them off but instead his men turned outwards looking for the origin of the sound. Suddenly new arrows dropped from the sky and ordinary grey wolves jumped out and ran at the Lyons.

"Retreat!" He yelled out to his warriors then turned to the darkness. "Mark my words Artemis, that blood will be ours."

He turned and before he could run a silver arrow sprouted out his shoulder. He smiled, took it out and ran away.

Then a beautiful woman stepped out from the shadows followed by thirty or so female hunters. She stared at me, gripped her bow and drew an arrow taking aim at me.
