“I heard that at one point in his life, Hades gathered everyone from St. Louis and gathered them up in one room, and no one was spared. Not even the CHILDREN.” Kacey said. She flipped through the pages of her Greek Mythology Book. Kuki screamed loudly and jumped behind Wally.
“Smooth.” Megan said.
“You’re not one to talk.” Kacey said. “You made Hoagie run to the bathroom crying because آپ rejected him for the eleventy bamillionth time.” Megan shrugged.
“He deserved it.”
Then, a loud bark made them all jump.
“IT’S CEREBUS!” Kacey yelled. “THE GAURDIAN OF HADES’ TEMPLE!”
“Why is a dog the guardian?” Kiki asked. She turned to look at Kacey. Everyone was still and shivering. Kacey pointed in front of her.
“That’s why.”
In front of them stood a 20 foot high dog with three heads.
“Ah, I get it.” Kiki said. She smiled. Then, she took off running in the other direction, screaming. Kacey grabbed her سے طرف کی her sleeve.
“Watch.” She told everyone. Kacey pulled a beach-ball sized red rubber ball out of her backpack. She showed it to Cerebus. He looked at it for a long time. Then, he did what almost sounded like a roar. Everyone backed up a few feet. Except Kacey. She tossed the ball to Cerebus’ middle mouth. Cerebus caught it in mid-air. Everyone ran past him quietly.
“Whoa, that was intense.” Abby said. Then, a terrified scream came from the bathroom down the hall.
“GUYS!!! HELP!!” It was Hoagie. Everyone ran down the hall.
“What did آپ see in the toilet this time?” Wally asked. He snickered.
“THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER, BEETLES!” Hoagie screamed. “Go into the 2nd stall.” Wally shrugged and went into the 2nd stall.
Pause.
Scream.
“What is it?” Kuki asked.
“DEAD GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Wally yelled.
“We’re in Hell, Wally. EVERYONE is dead.” Kacey said.
“NO! HE’S NOT A SPIRIT!” Wally screamed. Kacey peeked into the stall.
“NASTY.”
Everyone followed after that.
“Ew, he’s got to have been decaying for over a century.” Megan said.
“Century? I’d say close to a millennium.” Kiki said.
“Wait, do آپ think it’s a guy just like us?” Kacey asked.
“You mean a poor soul who ventured into Hell?” Hoagie asked. Kacey nodded.
“Don’t worry; I can talk my way out of ANYTHING.” Kiki said. “Hades will understand.”
“Kiki, you’re talking about the god of the Underworld.” Kacey said. “I don’t think he’ll understand.”
“Will too!”
“Will not.”
“STOP!” Megan screamed. “Let’s find out.” Kacey seemed a bit worried. But she led the way to the تخت room. Wally knocked on the door.
“OPEN UP, HADES!” He yelled. Kacey covered his mouth. Then, the door creaked open.
“What do آپ children want?” Hades asked.
“Um, well, there’s this clown guy who’s after our دوستوں here.” Kacey motioned to Kuki.
“Ah, I see.” Hades said. He turned his chair around. “And آپ came to me because?”
“Well, he’s a ghost.” Kiki said.
“Oh, I get it. آپ want me to stop him because I’m the god of the Underworld.” Hades smirked. “AND WHY IN HELL (YAY! PUN!) WOULD I DO THAT?” Kuki screamed and hid behind Wally.
“Because you’re loving?” Kiki asked.
“I’M THE GOD OF THE FREAKING UNDERWORLD! I AM NOT LOVING!” Hades yelled. He blasted آگ کے, آگ at Kiki. She jumped in time. Hades made a دائرے, حلقہ of آگ کے, آگ around the kids.
“You are now under my control. آپ will do as I say, یا I will kill all of you.” Everyone nodded.
“What shall we do for O Great Holy One?” Kiki asked. Everyone realized what she was doing. Kiki was talking her way out of the terrible situation.
“BLONDE ONE!” Hades yelled. Everyone turned to Wally, considering he was the only blonde.
“Y- Yes?” Wally asked.
“Get me some coffee, I’m thirsty.” Kacey pushed Wally forward. Some of the آگ کے, آگ moved to the side so Wally could leave.
“Where is the coffee?” Wally asked.
“It’s down the hall.” Hades said. “Now don’t try any tricks.” Wally nodded and walked down the hall. Then, Hades eyed Kuki.
“So, you’re the one who’s being hunted سے طرف کی the Happy Man?” He asked. Kuki sadly nodded. “Well, come here.” Kuki walked down the path where Wally had and stood before Hades.
“You called?” She said.
“Yes, come sit right here.” Hades pointed to a دائرے, حلقہ carpet on the floor. Kuki sat down. Then, she was sprayed with something that smelled of perfume, flowers, cake, and love. (Yes, love has a smell) Hades smiled at her.
“What’d آپ spray me with?” Kuki asked.
“Dead-Away Repellent.” Hades said. “It should keep the Happy Man away.” Kacey took a whiff.
“Um, Hades, sir?” She asked. Hades looked her way. “Kuki already smelled like that.”
Hades eyed her. “Yup, she smells the same.” He poured his چائے on her. Then, he sprayed her again.
“That should do it.”
Then, a yellow scooter bursted into the wall. A figure stepped off of it. The figure? None other than the Happy Man.
“Too late.” Kiki said.
