Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: "Don't Flatter Yourself"

"You are going to hurt yourself"

" I highly doubt it"

Suddenly, there was a sharp stab in my rib which made me lose my balance and fall off the roof of the 6 story building.

I know what you are thinking: Omg! How is she not panicking?

Simple, remember when I said some Cupids can fly? Well I'm in that 5 %.

I closed my eyes, feeling my body become lightweight as I lay floated in the air.

"Hazel, you Okay?" Wyatt shouted down . I waved him off.

"I'm fine" I said as i hovered not too far from him.

As soon as I said that, It was like someone snapped their fingers and suddenly I'm falling to my death.

My ability to fly disappeared and I felt my heart drop as I plummeted to earth.

NONE of my powers were working and it wasn't the fear from the incoming death but the fact that I'm human...

A fall like this would injure a Cupid but this could ..actually will kill me.

To my utter surprise, mere inches from death, I was floating but it wasn't of my control.

I wiggled around but the force was too strong. Couldn't be Wyatt because he didn't have powers this advanced.

I heard a snap of fingers and I dropped to the ground, luckily my reflexes are fast and my palms took the impact.

"Well that could have been ugly" The Voice belonged to Hades who just smile.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, dusting myself off.

He didn't say anything for a second, instead he flicked his wrist and an umbrella appeared.

I gave him a look when he gestured for me to take it but it sunny outside but I took it and suddenly thunder started rolling and the rain pissed down.

"Can't have you catching a cold now" Hades said.

I was beyond suspicious as to why he was here and what the just happened with my powers.

Then it occurred to me that, he wasn't getting wet. The rain was pouring and he was standing there as dry as a bone but with the gods, I never try to figure out their tricks.

He tiled his head slightly and opened his mouth to say but quickly objected to it, instead he smiled at me which is a norm at this point and disappeared.

I wasn't the least bit jumped when Wyatt busted through the back door of the building, freaking out I may add. Wyatt was talking but I completely blocked him out.

I stared at the spot where Hades stood, trying to figure out what part the god of the underworld has to play in my life but Whatever it was ... I have a feeling it isn't good.

After Wyatt calmed down, he drove me home. It was a quite ride but not because of Wyatt but because I was racking my mind for any and all reasons as to why my powers failed me and Hades was there. I snapped my fingers, with the intention to make something as an apple appeared but nothing... it was like something or someone stripped my powers.

"Grandma!" I shouted, slamming the door behind me as I walked into my home.

"She is in Olympus." My dad said as he walked out of the living room.

I wasn't ready to speak to him yet.

I nodded, pausing from my habit of teleporting and I dropped my hand, walking towards the staircase.

"Whatever you wanted to ask her, you can ask me..." Eros said, there was strain in his voice and I glanced back at him.

"No, I'd rather speak to her"

No I didn't want to say that but I did trying to hold my ground.

His ocean blue eyes flashed pink for a second and I knew what that meant but before I could cave in, I quickly ran upstairs and slammed my bedroom door shut.

I stood in the middle of my bedroom, the only light coming into the room was from the window.

Without my powers, I felt vulnerable.

Imagine for 17 years having god given powers then suddenly without explanation, they disappear.

How would you feel knowing you can't protect yourself against forces that want you dead for what seems to be no real reason?

"Touch me and I break your fucking fingers"

Blake quickly pulled back his hand, shook clear on this face.

I stepped around him to flip on the light switch.

He was staring at me like I really did break his fingers.

" Why are you here?" I scowled at him because I just wanted to be left alone.

"What is up with you hazel?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes." Again I ask ,why are you here?"

Blake tiled his head slightly, looking exactly like his dad.

"My dad told me what happened earlier.. You don't have your powers, do You?"

I shook my head, and sat at the edge of my bed.

He didn't say anything instead came and sat beside me, close enough that our hand brushed.

There was a spark, strong enough that I felt it but Blake clearly didn't.

We sat in silence for what felt like forever.

"Here" Blake said, handing me a necklace with a deep red jewel in the center.

"This is a blood jewel, why are you giving me this?"

"Just in case" He stood, running a hand through his dark hair.

I realized that son of Hades was dressed different from his usual all black bad boy look.

The mustard colored shirt still clung to him the same and the light brown jeans and jacket actually looked really good.

"Are you checking me out?" He smirked.

Same Jackass Blake and that never changes.

"Don't flatter yourself" I said, rolling my eyes.

"I'm glad you are okay but my dear, I have some work to finish so I must go" Blake winked at me and vanished.

I snuggled into my warm bed, using one of my stuff animals as a pillow and drifted off to sleep.
