Mount Olympus [3]

Jace

I swallow and shake my head at her, sitting back. It'd kill us all. He'd make sure of that. My father merely laughs.

"Try, my dear," he says, "Just remember that, when you meet all around you in the afterlife, you were the one that sent them there. It would be pretty hard to explain that to children, wouldn't it?"

Riley and Logan hold each other close atop his lap, his arms preventing them from running to us.

Rayah

Sneering, Jackie looses her smile and looks at me, swallowing.

My anger boiled up and my eyes turn red, "You twisted b*tch!" I run towards him, Jackie speeding infront of me and stopping me in my tracks.

"Calm down," She whispers, "Just calm down."

I swallow, glaring at Jace's dad, and cross my arms, "Give me my kids right now or I will f*cking rip you're head off and feed it to Hades's hell hounds," I threaten, "And I will do that."

Jackie takes a step back, standing beside me, and grabs my rist just in case.

Jace

I stand, walking towards Rayah, and keep at her back protectively. My father smiles, a bubble-like shield popping around him.

"Now, now, miss Rayah, I'm here to talk," he chuckles, "Negotiate, so to speak. Let's not make this is brawl."

Rayah

I sigh, glancing back at Jace before stepping beside him and taking his hand, "Then Talk."

Jace

Nic stands and walks to Jackie's side as I look back at my father.

"I've heard that these two here are to be incredibly powerful once they grow," he begins, "I'll make a trade. One of the children, and all of you can go - "

"How about just me?" Alyx stands, "Instead of the kids. Take me. I'm already as powerful as they might be. You get what you asked for."

Rayah

Swallowing, I shake my head at Alyx, "This isn't fair," I mutter, "None of this. All of us...we deserve better. You're sick," I say bitterly, "No. You're not getting anyone here. You can go f*ck yourself."

Jackie looks at me, Okay, that was the best speech I have set heard you say.

I wink at Jackie quick, chuckling a little, before turning back to Jace's dad, "I can...call my parents down here. And I will. Try dealing with two gods. Including me."

Jace

My father laughs at Rayah's threat, shaking his head.

"Call your parents then, my dear. Have the adults take care of this problem once again," he smiles, "If you do, though, I will not hesitate to leave with all three children, not just the twins. If we must act like kids, I won't hesitate to play along."

Rayah

I look away, wanting to go punch this guys face off, "You are such a--"

"Mean person," Jackie finishes, shaking her head at what I was about to say.

I look at her, thinking, "I have a deal for you," I turn to Jace's dad. "Jace isn't losing any of his family. Wether it's Alyx or the twins. Nothing. But I know someone even more powerful. Trust me."

Jackie swallows, shaking her head, "You sure about this, Rayah?"

I nod, "Ever heard of Molly? Daughter of the underworld?" I ask, "Please tell me you have."

Jace

I look at Rayah, wondering what she's doing.

"Possibly," my father muses, "Go on."

Rayah

"She controls everything from death, to life. Can kill someone with just a single stare. Can manipulate someone with her looks. She's as powerful as a goddess herself," I cross my arms, "If I can get her here, get her to go with you, will you let us go?"

Jace

Oh god... Giving him that would... Sh*t.

"Hm... If she is compliant, I will consider," my father smiles.

Rayah

I nod, "Great. But it's gonna take some convincing."

I look at Jackie to summon her and she swallows, "B-But I'm scared of her."

"Just do it," I roll my eyes.

She sighs before closing her eyes and sending a mind message.

Dark fog and storm clouds cover the place, darkness forming in the center of the room. A young girl appears, long, black hair, flawless skin, and peircing crimson eyes. She folds her arms, the darkness still around her, "What do you want?" She asks, sighing.

Cringing at her, I look away and try not to scream, motioning to Jace's dad, "He has...an offer for you."

Jace

My father sighs, "You summoned her. You explain the deal, my dear."

And to think I was dead two hours ago... Whoa.

Rayah

"If you go with him...he lets us go," I explain, "Deal?"

She just stares at me, expressionless, "What."

I roll my eyes, "You go with him, so he can use you're power, and he let's...us go," I repeat.

She chuckles, "Rayah..." She smiles her beautiful smile, "Who do you think I am? I don't help people."

God. She's just like my mom. What a half sister.

"C'mon, sis..." I beg, "Please. I'll do anything."

She bites her lip, "Anything?"

I nod, "Anything."

She sighs before looking at Jace's dad, "What will you do? What will happen to me? With my power?"

Jace

My father smiles smugly, "You and your power will remain intact. You just have to obey certain rules, do certain things, and you'll still be practically free."
