Chapter 10

After 10 min of traveling between the shadows, I arrived at our meeting point that we established for our meeting via the Iris message that we had earlier in the morning. I then sat at one of the outside tables waiting for Alecto or one of her sisters to arrived when suddenly a woman sat there.

-Nice to see you again Alex - the woman that just sat greeted me.

- Ehhh- I was surprised when I saw who just arrived.- Lady Dem...-

- Shhh Alex, names are powerful - Demeter just interrupted me before I could say her name.

- Sorry, but why they are powerful? Why are you here?-

- You will know when the time comes, I'm not welcome here?-

- Yes, is just that I was expecting to meet some of my father's subordinates -

- One of those nasty monsters of his? They are too busy following your father's order to pursuit some demigods- she told me and with a smirk on her face.

- Ohh ok did they did something to you?- I asked looking at her face, and recalling that around this year Luke, Thalia and Annabeth should be running from the pursuit from monsters my father sent, I was thinking just to arrive the camp after the events that should happen at the beginning of summer.

- Nothing, just family dispute, as usually you should now we get bored easily after so many years- she told me like it was a small matter.- So what was so important that you had the hurry to meet one of those old hags.

- well that was for ....- I yelled at her about my encounter with the cyclops and what he yelled at me.

- He saw you are you sure? that's should be impossible you should know that we couldn't see through or could feel your existence that's t that piece of metal he gave you, it's pretty powerful it was made of a tiny piece of that helm but that helm is powerful enough that my brother could hide from my father's grasp.- she looked surprised that some cyclops. - If I didn't beforehand you would be here I will never be able to feel your presence. And also about the cyclops blaming you, it should be all because of your sword, your father usually gifts that to his other bastard's weapons forge with that stygian iron. Its really powerful thanks to that it that entrance of the Tartarus have being assing to your father watch not only because of his strength but also because he can forge weapons that suck dry the essence of the life of anyone who gets hurt with it .- she explained with a disgusting face when she mentioned about the swords abilities to steal the life of anyone.

- Wow that's cool - didn't know it was so powerful to hurt any kind of foe - So could you really tell me the reason for you to come. I don't get it yet why would a goddess like you will come just for answering my questions-

- He told me you are pretty smart, I just thought he was just boasting about you- she said and taking a sip of her coffee that I didn't know when he ordered or when did it appear.- I'm just curious about you Alex, you were pretty much-composed of meetings us to mature for a kid. And also because your father told me about .. never mind that you should go now kid somethings its happening at your family house - she changed the topic a pretty quick.

What's happening? Did you do theming to them?- I yelled at her forgetting who has I talking about now and just stand up and get ready to start running to my grandfathers' house.

- Shut up kid did you forget who I am, just because I'm being nice don't think you can talk to me like that, I did nothing about them they are not even worth my time but I told you as a being grateful for those sculptures you did about me and my daughter, now you go- she said and then start shining and I disappeared from there leaving a forest scent in the air.

After 2 seconds of being stunned, I realized that my grandparents were in danger and without any second to waste a just run to the alley and while getting angrier every second I Decided to start jumping between shadows and without thinking and I arrived in just 3 jumps. Just when I leap out of the shadows with my sword unsheathed the scene before my eyes froze my body in awe for what was standing there.

My grandfather was surrounded by people in black robes he was holding two handguns in each hand. My grandmother wasn't there and the front door was missing and the windows were shattered and some fire was starting to build-up inside. My anger raised to levels that I couldn't handle the earth started trembling, all I was sitting on was to kill those men who started to looked around and surprised when the floor started to move. Just when I was preparing to jump to the attack my grandfather shakes his head and at while just saying one word.

- NO- he said to me without saying any word. and then he yelled to his attackers- I surrender.- dropping his guns and raising his hands. When one of the robbed men hit him with the hilt of a sword at the back of his head knocking him out and two men carried him to a black SUV and they left like that, a few seconds later police sirens where could be heard approaching. I run then to the house and start yelling and looking for my grandma.
