Tabetha's Tales

XXIII: Asleep

*Tabetha's PoV*

If I didn't feel alone before I did now, my Mum, Kida and Vadius were all asleep, even Shelby, Kelly and Nick. i only had Hades here to talk to

"If i sleep wil I awaken?" I asked my big brother Hades.

"Sorry sister I cannot answer you that" Hades really wasn't helping. So idecided to sit and think about my next step, should i sit around and wait for them to wake up?, or could i actually do some thing about this?.

"maybe try your foresight, but look into the past' didn't Mum give you any of your own ailities?" Hades asked.

"I am only eight bro let me grow up and figure it out will you?" I argued, and my frown became a death stare.

which in side made me laugh as i was staring hades in the face, okay i know he isnt thanatos, but my brother is the next best thing to death.

I sat in the corner to think, of what abilities i had at my disposal, invibility, water control, shapeshifting, terratravelling, not to mention i am a unicorn, that can talk to horses and fish.

I thought I would go back to Sasha's place to see if i could find who sent the Nemean Lion, so i left everyone with Hades, atleast i know my brother isn,t my enemy, "Okay bro, I'm going to see if i can find out who sent the Nemean Lion" i told him.

"you think that is wise, look at our mother, save her first" Hades suggested. "I can see on your face Mum is having another baby"

"What?? dad doesnt even know yet, mum and I are gonna tell him personally" i said wondering how hades picked up on it, Mum isn't even showing.

"so is it a horsespeaker like you?, is that our brother or sister?" hades asked minorly interested.

"yes i want to know if it is my brother ot sister in law" Persephone piped up. I sat next to Mum and rested my hand on her belly, "brother we have a brother, i closed my eyes to listen to his thoughts, there wasn't much to listen to, but it my moment of need he's the closest family I can talk to right now, "don't worry little brother, i'll wake you and Mum up...somehow" iwiped my tears, "I'm only eight years old, c'mon, I'm to young to be a hero just yet" i said and Persephone strolled over to me.

"look at what you have done sweetie, you saved an island from the Nemean Lion you already are a Hero" Persephone smiled, Dad would be so be crushing if he were here right now. Persephone had gorgeous dark hair, it was easy to see why Hades loved her.she was gorgeous. and her figure hugging dress, I would have had to take dad home in an instant.

But dad is gone, and i began to weep just thinking about it, "what's worng Tabetha?" Hades asked, and Persephone gestured for Hades to stay on his throne, " lets talk in my quarters" Persephone suggested, "sister to sister"

"okay, I could use another sister, but your Mum and dad, are my brother and sister, our family is weird" i was weirding myself out. Persephone and I walked out into the corridor and down another corridor, we eft hades as attempted to wake the others, I am emotionally stressed i need to gossip and take a break from reality, we came to a set of large god doors, which was weird for a mansion that was always halloween.

Inside her chambers were even more impressive than the doors. She had a painting above the headboard of her bed, of the Blood Moon, it was very well painted. Gold silverware on the table, beautiful bouquet from her garden as a centrepiece, and she had some really amazing tapestries. Multiple candlesticks filled the tables, and I walked closer to the large bed which had a gold skull embroidered into the fabric, which looked very impressive.

We sat and began talking, "I don't know what do to, everyone I know is unconscious, well besides you and Hades of course, I feel so alone" I sobbed, only my sister in law and brother that I have only met once by the way, were still concious, how, I have no idea.

"I would like you to meet someone, he is the Half blood son of Enyo, he will be here tomorrow, um we don't really have day or night down here, so let's just say in several hours. If you want you should get some rest"

"Thanks Seph, mind if I call you Seph?" I asked. When Persephone opened up her bed, and made me get in.

"Don't worry this place repels the force of Morpheus and/or Hypnos" and She tucked me in, and we just talked until I fell asleep. Hades was sitting in the dark corner just watching.

"You didn't need to do that" Hades said. From the darkness as walked into the candle light, "She came seeking guidance from me, you know that right?"

"I sense she will become very powerful one day, I just want her to know neither of us are her enemies, and she has family here in the Underworld" Persephone replied.

"Come with me to my chambers, we haven't made our own child in years" hades said and Persephone blushed, "Such a bad boy" Persephone pulled Hades out of the golden double doors.
