Was it worth it, Jodi Marshall? Challenging me? Trying to prove you could take on a god? Hades walked over to me, gazing down at my limp body.
No matter how much they enjoyed causing us pain, they weren’t stupid enough to disobey Hades. Victoria and her group of Ophi, whom I’d sentenced to serve Hades for all eternity, stepped away from me and my friends. Enough! He motioned for our tormentors to back off. Finally, Hades appeared in his usual cloud of swirling black smoke. The paramedics thought he’d died of a heart attack, but really, he’d died because he tried to help me. Alvarez when he’d changed the bandage on my finger. How does it feel?īefore I could answer or think too much about the pain I’d caused everyone when I attempted to take on Hades, Victoria waved her hand over me and a searing pain shot through my hand. She jerked my head to the right where Alex writhed in pain on the ground as Troy looked on and smiled. You should’ve joined me when you had the chance. Victoria grabbed my face, squeezing my cheeks and digging her nails into my skin. Once each death I relived was over, I had only moments before the next was inflicted upon me. Too tortured to talk? She laughed and bent down to me. I didn’t want Victoria to see how much she was hurting me, how much I was screaming for the quiet of death, but I was powerless against the agony she inflicted. Hades had wanted us to suffer, me most of all, and he was getting his wish. I’m sure the most powerful Ophi in the world, the Chosen One, can handle a little pain.Ī little pain, yes. The one where I’d killed my human boyfriend, Matt, and my own mother, all because my blood was poisonous to humans.Īw, what’s the matter, Jodi? Victoria walked in circles around me. The one I’d been forced to leave when Alex came for me and told me I was part of a branch of necromancers born under the thirteenth sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus. Hades had enchanted the black abyss of Tartarus to look like whatever it was that would torture us most. My lungs screamed for air, and my body collapsed on the ground. I could say that for certain, since I was now living in Hell.
It wouldn’t kill me, but it hurt like hell. Even though I was immune to the poison in my own Gorgon blood, I felt it suffocating me. I choked, coughing up blood, as Victoria, the former head of the Ophi school and my boyfriend’s mom-at least, I thought Alex was my boyfriend again-made me relive the deaths of every human I’d killed.
