Reborn As Hades In Olympus

Chapter 42: Ch. 42: A Sticky Situation

Ch. 42: A Sticky Situation

CLICK!

The door came open slowly and there stood the lord of the house with a villainous grin on his face as his eyes locked on me especially. "Well what do we have here? A rat infestation."

This bastard just had to come at the worst possible timing, talk about bad luck.

The crunching of his boots responded like a death call, well I for one was not intimidated being the god of death myself but why was I still troubled deep down. It's not like Ares could dare lat a finger on my hair, well now that I did think about it, they did try to kill Hades.

I felt something cold clutch to my arm and looked to my side to see Eris, she was freezing from the water we had drenched her in. Talk about bad luck. Her eyes screamed to me for protection, maybe the reason I was so on my toes was because of they were with me. I had an unexplainable urge to protect them.

Talos on the other hand was not showing any signs of fear, she was glaring at the god of war like she was eyeing a bouquet of flowers, was she blinded by the case. "Wh--" Oh no you don't, I covered her mouth with my hand and to my surprise she bit my hand-- HARD! I would have hit her had I not been observing something else, Ares was not looking at us.

Rather he was looking across the room, didn't he see us?

"Ahhh! I thought someone had broken in earlier since I felt a mysterious aura here, guess my sixth sense is a bit off." Ares said jokingly so I could not tell if he was being serious or trying to mess with us any further.

It was either that our combines anxiety was a powerful firewall that shielded us from his eyes or we were invisible-- wait a minute, I've done it before. Back when I had come to Olympus for the first time and met Zeus and Poseidon, I thought they were ignoring me but it seems I had a skill that allowed me to become invisible.

I had never felt more relieved to have randomly triggered my ability before.

OUCH! Why was she still biting me, was she mad? I pulled both of them together and whispered into their ears. "I made us invisible with my ability but I don't know how long it will last but you have to stay close to me as we sneak out being his back and let's not make a peep."

BOOMP! Talos just farted right there on the spot causing Ares eyes to strike in our very direction. Does this bitch have a death wish? As smart as she was she could do such uncultured things? She shot me with a pleasing glance as she slipped her hand into my pocket and pulled out the book and tucked it away in her pocket.

Damnit! Was she threatening me, if I tried to take it back would she scream. That would break whatever I was doing now and Ares would face me before everyone else giving her time to flee. Talk about genius. Well played Sherlock Holmes, one problem at a time. I glared at her but I could tell she was pleased with what she had done.

I started to move them slow around the room without making a noise, we had to move together to escape Ares who I believed to have the talents and instinct of a cold blooded warrior.

"Something is rathed off here and my sixth sense can't feel a thing." He started to move towards where we had been before leaving the entrance wide open, we started to increase our pace ever so gently. Somehow Talos tripped over the rug and I had to reach out to her, I swear her body coordination was like a bottle of chilli.

My hand groped her breast, it was not intentional but my fingers sank into the warm cushion and squeezed them tight-- it was like cotton and warm. She wasn't wearing a bra, I'm in a sticky situation and that's what I think about?

Talos looked over her shoulder, I was expecting to see her giving me the "don't fuck with me glare" but her eyes passed the clear message of "don't drop me." Trust me I wasn't enjoying this as much as I should, all I had to do was pull her up but I was starting to get worried for Eris who was now shivering even more. One problem at a time— I told myself once more.

I tried to raise Talos more gently without causing any damage to her body when Ares interrupted us. His face appeared just a feet from where we were, he wasn't staring at us definitely but was close enough. He was stroking at his chin and staring at the floor. "Ahh I see, so we do have an intruder. Well what do we do about that, I wish I knew." What is wiah that sick smile?

And how did he find is, I don't think we were visible yet.

I felt Talos throbbing in my hands and followed the line of her hand pointing at the line of water that led to us. S**T! Ares followed the trail of water dripping from Eris' outfit, we might jave been invisible but the water wasn't. So he could not see us or tell how many of us were truly there, just when I thought I would escape this problem without facing if. I guess I had no choi—

BUMP!! I lost control of my footing and crashed head first into Talos, someone had pushed me from behind. I looked at Talos who turned and started to run away from us, what the hell was she doing? If she left us the would no longer be visible and Ares would go after her— my eyes widened as I realized her plan to draw Ares from us. Why was she sacrificing herself for us-- for me?

I abused and threatened her but yet she sacrificed herself for me-- why?

"Why you sneaky spider!!" Ares screamed as he ran after her out of the room leaving me and Talos behind.

"For f**ks sake can you please get off me now?" Talos said with her face just inches from me, her warm breath bathing my face. "You are damn heavy, I can't breath. Don't get any funny ideas either." I climbed to my feet and reached out my hand to her.

"At least you can be a gentleman every now and then." It was then I realized her joke earlier was not referring to her body but the book she was protecting in her pocket. "Let's go now, I've got evidence. Pretty sure you don't mind if I take this into custody then?"

I stood there and looked at the ground. "Why did she chose to sacrifice herself like that?"

Talos walked over to the window and pushed it open. "I bet I can get down if I had a rope or something, wanna help? Didn't think so, if you are so worried about the goddess why don'tcha hold a memorial for her or something? I don't understand most emotions, it's all a mix of spaghetti and I want nothing of it, for one I thought you were the same. I guess I was wrong to begin."

Why was I hesitant? It's not like Eris would be useful in future plots, but seeing her die wouldn't that be more painful? I could kill gods that did not matter but the ones that did even less popular ones still had a story to tdllyand I could not let that story die when I could save it.

"Talos, you are a bright young woman with plenty of life opportunities so don't run too far. Get out of the house and keep yourself safe, Ares is not alone." I warned her as I aimed for the exit myself.

"Hades you are one crazy bastard, whatever you do-- don't die. It was fun having a rival for once." Talos said back to me. "So are you really going to save her?"

I said nothing and continued to walk away. "Why?" She asked again.

THE CHARACTER "TALOS" IS CURIOUS.

"I guess some stories have to be told and I get to decide which ones." I reached the exit—

"I understand!"

What the hell did she mean by that? Why did she alway have to be so complicated?

THE CHARACTER "TALOS" LIKEABILITY HAS INCREASED BY 50.

THE CHARACTER "TALOS" LIKEABILITY HAS DECREASED BY 50.

Yup! She is nuts.

I was just running out of the room when I felt a powerful of energy hit me like a wave, my sixth sense was buzzing like crazy. Something big was coming and it wasn't from Ares, just as it appeared the wave of energy vanished but I could still feel the hostility from it.

CLANK!

I raised my head to see a man dressed in red hooded cape, his face concealed in the darkness. His body barely visible, the apparition vanished just like smoke in the air.
