We reached the boarder, from New York and New Jersey, and I looked at Cole who kept lookingdown. 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 getsomething 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 werepracticing drooling at the sight.“Come on, let’s go.” I said firmly. 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 inthe booth, and I sat across from them.“Alright m, where are we going to find this guy... or well Ares?” Tyler asked. Cole shrugged, alongwith me.“I barely know the guy. I mean, it’s not like he’s gonna walk in.” Cole said sarcastically. We allnodded. I turned and looked around, due to an odd feeling I felt. I turned to see a biker man point tous.“Guys... we have a problem.” The boys looked up as the biker walked to us. He was very tall, andmuscular. 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 mademy 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 find me.”I looked at Cole who’s eyes widened. Ares took his glasses off and looked at us all in the eyes. Iwatched Tyler’s fists 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.” Aressaid 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 oldApollo 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, thensay 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 likeyour 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 necklacehe 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 hiseyes and stood up. I looked at Tyler.I had an odd feeling that Ares was going to do something. Maybe it was the prophecy butinside 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 seemedconfused. Tyler nodded and looked at me. “If we’re going to do this, we are leading them out of thecity. 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 firmly. Tyler nodded inagreement.“Sometimes that’s all we need. Now, tell me your plan blondey.” He said leaning in. I nodded andspilled the plan.Tyler and I walked out after we noticed Cole and Ares disappeared. We payed the front counter andsaid our parents changed their minds, and left. Tyler put his hands on the ground and closed hiseyes. He was going to listen to the plants, and they would tell him if Ares and Cole were coming forus.We walked out the city and I pulled out my shield, and tapped my necklace as it became a bow. Ilooked 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 wearingsunglasses. I pretended I didn’t notice. “Cole, we should go tell Mr D what we found out.”“No.” He said firmly.“Cole, we have too!” I pleaded.“I said NO!” He said. He knocked me off my feet and I hit the ground, but rolled. I stoodup and held up my shield. Ares snapped his fingers and the sunglasses on Cole’s headdisappeared. 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 andtossed it to the side, so it wouldn’t break. I kicked Cole and he caught me and flung me over. Ilooked 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. Irolled over and kicked his steal of a shin. I jumped up and tackled him with the shield. Cole punched the shield and his fist went through.I knocked his fist 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 andAres. I looked at Ares who was standing in front of a tree, unaware of the vines wrapping around hisfeet.Cole went to tackle me and slash me with his sword. I held up my shield, and slid back trying tobeat his strength.I kept sliding.I thought back to the prophecy. I undid the dagger from its sheath and looked at the mind controlledCole.“Sorry Hercules.” I said. I slashed his left eye, and flung him back. Cole yelled in pain. He looked upas his eye was gushing. I knew I was the daughter of light, and I had slashed the Son of War’s eye.
