REUNITED

Chapter 8

Unsatisfied decisions

.TW.

Zeus paced back and forth between his brother Poseidon and the desk.

"Zeus, families must stick together you know if it weren't for hades and I,  you wouldn't have defeated the titans and our " father".

Poseidon didn't like the title Kronos had of father, after all his "father" ate both Hades and him the second they were born, and in all honesty, Poseidon liked hades more than Zeus probably because they could both relate to having been stuck inside their father's stomach for all their childhood.

"It must be quite annoying for Persephone to be going back and forth every six months"

"she's been doing it for years"

"that doesn't mean it's not annoying."

Zeus sighed, part of him knew he wanted his big brother back here in Olympus he even forgave him for taking over Olympus and for the kidnapping of his kid.

Besides Poseidon was right if he had to hear Demeter complain again every single day for the six months Persephone was gone he might just pull a Kronos and swallow her.

"I've made my decision! Hades shall be welcomed back into Olympus"

"Yesssssssss" Poseidon danced before
Standing back straight "err...I mean good job brother"

Poseidon exited the room happy that he would see his brother again after 13 years.

"Hey twin that I never asked for"

"Hi," Hayley(Mal) mumbled not bothering to look up at Hayden(Malachi)

"Why are you watching aunt Steph like that!?"

"Aunt Steph!?" Mal said this time looking away for just a moment before going back to the task at hand.

"Yup she said we could call her that"
Hayden(Malachi) said plopping himself down on the couch

"Well don't we can't trust her, she doesn't even know us!"

"She's known hadie since he was two when dad used to sneak him away from mother"

"How'd you know that?"

"I asked"

They both fell into complete silence, the silence that Hayden was going break.

He leaned in closer near her ear and whispered "When are you going to talk to Hadie"

Hayley almost jumped out of her skin not expecting the interruption of peace.

"I'm not going to" She spat venom lacing her words. But Hayden knew better he knew Mal hates doing things out of her own free will.

"Daddy knows what you were going to do" the smirk leaving his face as quickly as it came as he noticed how pale she became.

"H-how you told him," mal said feeling completely betrayed.

"No, he was at the door when I was telling Hadie"

"You told Hadie!!"

"No-yes not really"

Mal stared at him completely betrayed but she knew he was right "I'm still not talking to him"

"Stubborn!"

Hadie stepped into the den searching for someone possibly a purple-blue hair child with green eyes that always got on his nerves. he swore to Olympus that if he didn't find her in the next five minutes he wasn't going to apologize anymore he was already swallowing his pride. with four minutes and fifty-three seconds on the clock hadie found his sister sketching away on a piece of paper.

"We need to talk and I'm not taking no for an answer," Hadie said without leaving room for Hayley to complain as he grabbed his sister's hand and pulled her into the nearest room while blocking the door.

"You ruined my drawing" Hayley spat attempting to pass hadie

"Yeah well boo-hoo, you tried to kill yourself" for a minute Hayley actually looked guilty before anger took over. "SO!! WHO CARES, OBVIOUSLY NOT ME," she said attempting to get past her brother again.

"Clearly!!! why are you so selfish" hadie said gripping her wrists "have you ever wondered how your death would impact the rest of us? dad, jay, Uma, the rest of the gang, for Olympus sake mal how would it affect Hayden" his voice cracking

"They'll get over it, it's not like you care about me anyway," Hayley said dropping to the floor and pulling her knees to her chest, seeing that hadie had let go of her wrists.

"who said that!?"

"Mother"

"you believed her?" hadie said slowly approaching his sister " I know, I know, I didn't at first but then like a few days later you started to treat me coldly it was small things at first but after a while, to me, it felt like my very presence annoyed you, so I thought that maybe if I, if i-

Hadie knelt and hugged his sister he had been extremely stressed lately and he didn't know it was affecting his younger siblings in a way. This was probably why shd been getting on his nerves lately 

"I'm sorry"

"no-no-no villains don't say sorry," mal said failing to push her brother off her she didn't deserve the forgiveness she had failed a simple task, and if her mother found out well-

"hit me"

"what?"

"I want you to hit me, stab me, do something to hurt me I don't deserve your forgiveness," she said sounding completely broken

"DO IT!" mal said taking out her dagger and handing it over to her brother "you know mother will do it when she finds it outright" this time she was laughing silently and twirling the dagger around her finger that was pricked unnoticedly.

"Shhh, calm down shes not going to find out I promise ok, deep breaths, I want you to know that I will never lay my hands on you ok?" Hadie said managing to take the dagger away from her.

"Promise"

"I promise"
