Chapter 8 part 1
We reached the boarder, from New York and New Jersey, and I looked at Cole who kept looking
down. I looked at him, and felt bad. I really shouldn’t have reacted like that.
“Cole, what are we look for?”
He looked at me. “We’re supposed to talk to a god... my... my father. We’re supposed to get
something from him that Mr D needs.” Cole said softly.
I nodded, and Tyler did too.
We walked into a town, and looked at a small burger place. I looked at the boys, who’s mouths were
practicing drooling at the sight.
“Come on, let’s go.” I said rmly. I pulled them into the restaurant and the woman sat us down.
Naturally I made the excuse that our parents told us to get a seat. The boys sat next to each other in
the booth, and I sat across from them.
“Alright m, where are we going to nd this guy... or well Ares?” Tyler asked. Cole shrugged, along
with me.
“I barely know the guy. I mean, it’s not like he’s gonna walk in.” Cole said sarcastically. We all
nodded. I turned and looked around, due to an odd feeling I felt. I turned to see a biker man point to
us.
“Guys... we have a problem.” The boys looked up as the biker walked to us. He was very tall, and
muscular. He sat down next to me, and I scooted as far as I could away.
“Hello boys... girl.” He said eyeing us all. I saw through his sunglasses and to red eyes that made
my blood boil. I looked away, and at the boys who didn’t see his eyes.
“So, let me get to business. Dionysus thinks I took something, so he send my boy to nd me.”
I looked at Cole who’s eyes widened. Ares took his glasses o and looked at us all in the eyes. I
watched Tyler’s sts clench but Cole seemed unfazed.
“Anyways. I want to send you all back, and tell him to keep his fat self out of my business.” Ares
said bitterly.
“So you took it.” I said simply.
Ares turned to me. A small evil smirk crossed his face. “Listen punk, you say nothing and dear old
Apollo won’t have to mourn. Understand?”
I shrugged, not looking at his eyes. “I mean it’s simple. You said you didn’t take anything m, then
say to stay out of your business. It’s kinda... well a dumb excuse.” I explained.
Area’s smirk disappeared, and became a angry frown. “You better shut it punk! You sound just like
your Moron of a father!”
I glared at Ares. I wanted to give him the Plague but it wouldn’t work on him. I looked at a necklace
he had on, and it was a golden right with grapes on it.
“Where’d you get that from? Dionysus?”
“Shut up you little—!”
“Don’t talk to her like that!”
Me, Tyler, and Ares looked at Cole. Cole’s face was full of anger. Ares’s smirk returned.
Like he was planning something.
“Cole, son, let’s take a walk.” He said standing up. Cole eyed his father but soon rolled his
eyes and stood up. I looked at Tyler.
I had an odd feeling that Ares was going to do something. Maybe it was the prophecy but
inside of me.
“Tyler, I have a bad feeling about this.”
“Agreed. The guy gives me the creeps.”
I looked at him. “True, but not what I mean. I think he’s going to use Cole.”
Tyler raised an eyebrow. He looked outside and Ares smiled at Cole and Cole seemed
confused. Tyler nodded and looked at me. “If we’re going to do this, we are leading them out of the
city. We can’t have the mortals see, even is the mist hides it.”
I nodded in agreement. “Tyler I have a plan, but it’s... insane.” I said rmly. Tyler nodded in
agreement.
“Sometimes that’s all we need. Now, tell me your plan blondey.” He said leaning in. I nodded and
spilled the plan.
Tyler and I walked out after we noticed Cole and Ares disappeared. We payed the front counter and
said our parents changed their minds, and left. Tyler put his hands on the ground and closed his
eyes. He was going to listen to the plants, and they would tell him if Ares and Cole were coming for
us.
We walked out the city and I pulled out my shield, and tapped my necklace as it became a bow. I
looked at Tyler as vines pulled him up into a near by tree.
That was the sign.
I clung to my shield as I saw Ares and Cole walking over. Cole ran over to me and was wearing
sunglasses. I pretended I didn’t notice. “Cole, we should go tell Mr D what we found out.”
“No.” He said rmly.
“Cole, we have too!” I pleaded.
“I said NO!” He said. He knocked me o my feet and I hit the ground, but rolled. I stood
up and held up my shield. Ares snapped his ngers and the sunglasses on Cole’s head
disappeared. His eyes were glowing a bright red, and so were Ares.
He had control on Cole.
“Kill her.”
Cole ran at me with his sword and I held up my shield. I smacked him with my bow and
tossed it to the side, so it wouldn’t break. I kicked Cole and he caught me and ung me over. I
looked at my guitar... it was broken to bits.
My heart sank and my anger boiled. I turned to the controlled Cole, who was about to kill me. I
rolled over and kicked his steal of a shin. I jumped up and tackled him with the shield. Cole punched
the shield and his st went through.
I knocked his st out and whacked him with the shield.
“WHY WONT’ YOU DIE!” Cole yelled. His voice sent shivers down my spine. It was a mix of his and
Ares. I looked at Ares who was standing in front of a tree, unaware of the vines wrapping around his
feet.
Cole went to tackle me and slash me with his sword. I held up my shield, and slid back trying to
beat his strength.
I kept sliding.
I thought back to the prophecy. I undid the dagger from its sheath and looked at the mind controlled
Cole.
“Sorry Hercules.” I said. I slashed his left eye, and ung him back. Cole yelled in pain. He looked up
as his eye was gushing. I knew I was the daughter of light, and I had slashed the Son of War’s eye.
