Blood trickled down my knuckles to my arm, I was not usually like this. I naturally had a calm and tempered demeanor likened to Hades himself— my boss. And first crush. Or maybe I was just infatuated with the fact that I might one day become his bride and queen to the underworld but that was just a mere dream that would never come true.

Hades was my friend plain as that, my closest friend, even if we did share some moments— it never did go beyond that.

I was distraught as it was, Hades has been asleep for so long now I feel he would never wake up. Managing the matters of the corporation and the underworld is hectic, there are leeches on every side and that bitch secretary Marcy seemlessly workload-ing me when she can\'t do her job right.

I was frustrated, I missed my best friend. He still has not forgiven me for spreading around that rumor though, ever since I confessed my feelings to him. He\'s just so handsome and dreamy, but he\'s one of the three, he\'s too good for me.

I haven\'t had a decent sleep in over a decade I\'m practically on the verge of falling apart but thinking about him gives strength.

RING! RING!

I walked out of my bathroom in my jammies and into my spacious bedroom lit by a dim bulb hanging in the center of the room. I reached for my phone by the bedside. "Who the hell calls around 1AM? Some assholes just can\'t let me rest for a minute." I looked at the phone and saw "UNKNOWN NUMBER".

I scowled down at it and groaned. "I swear if this is another scammer I am so going to lose it." I picked the call and waited for a minute but there was nothing but silence on the other end I hissed and prepared to disconnect the line when I heard a response from the other end.

"Hey baby, wanna watch a scary movie?" It was a male voice that sounded familiar, it made me want to retch just from hearing it.

"Just who the hell is this?" I screamed at the caller.

This time he sounded more respectful. "Okay, okay, sheesh evee heard of therapy? I hear it works wonders. I knew I could get you at this time, it\'s a shame you forgot me so soon though."

I groaned as I suddenly recalled the only annoying bug that would ever dare to act so cheeky. "Tsk, Hermes?"

"And you win a participation award thank you." He sounded awfully pleased at himself for making my life miserable yet again. Hermes being the god of speed and transportation doesn\'t give a damn what who or anybody does , he just pops out of nowhere and turns your day upside down. I kind of felt sorry for myself, I really didn\'t know why he was calling me or the fact that he ever calls— EVER!

"So bae, sweetheart, darling, panty—"

I pulled my phone closed and gave him the kindest comeback I could think up at the moment. "WHY YOU DIRTY SON OF A BITCH, ARE YOU DELUSIONAL YOU SCUMBAG? RUINING THE ONLY PIECE OF SLEEP I\'VE HAD IN AGES LIKE THIS. GROW A D**K WILL YOU!!" There I let it all out.

Unsurprisingly Hermes kept talking like I had not said anything upsetting at the moment. "So I wanted to run into boss man\'s mansion and it sorta bounced me back, now I\'m getting stitches for it. I hafta drop this invite for Zues\' part, there will be cake and all but can I send it to you instead?"

I had forgot about that, I ordered for a powerful security system to keep Hermes out, it was a hassle having to drag him away from Hades every time. And I don\'t like the guy. The security system was a one time use anyway and for Hermes to call I guess he must have suffered a huge backlash from thw recoil.

Should I tease him a bit just for the fun of it? I might hurt his feelings, but he kind of spoiled my sleep— chances of sleeping anyway.

"So Hermes, want to run the letter over here?" I licked my lup as I teased him.

On the other end I heart Hermes give one over exaggerated shout. "WHAAAT!! And get blasted by your house too? Nuh-huh lady, I ain\'t even know what defense you\'ve got on your side. So yeah, I\'ll just send it through the mail like a normal person."

Wow! What kind of security system did Hephestus use to shut up Hermes, does it come in collar form? "How did you even get my number?"

"Hehe, I stole it off ya." Hermes snorted. "I do it to every girl I find interesting!"

Being called "girl" was a long outdated term. "That\'s rude." I objected.

"You\'re the one to talk." Even bested Hermes can really talk me down. "So how is Hades? Any better?"

"Since when were you so interested in the god of the underworld?" I smiled as I threw my back into the bed.

I could her Hermes biting at his fingers, was he nervous? Did he ever get nervous? "Hades is different, I don\'t know how but he feels different like a new person entirely."

"How so?" I asked mostly out of interest to spite him. "You falling for my liege?"

"Haa~" Hermes sighed at the other end putting me in an awkward place. "Haha, good one. He just seems different is all, you will understand when you meet him." He deaved a deep sigh this time and I could hear him sniffling.

"Are you crying right now? Getting all emotional all for no reason, Hermes you win alright." I suddenly burst out laughing so hard my eyes started to form droplets. It was the most fun I had laughed in a while, maybe he should be called the god of fun.

SNIFFLE! SNIFFLE!

Wait a minute, why is he still crying? I though this was all part of his act. I was now nervously biting at my fingernails, I expended hot hair from my lungs it was like I could almost picture his worried face just before my eyes. I parted my mouth to speak and asked. "He-- Hermes? Is this still a joke?

You\'re a god for crying out loud so act like it and stop now. Is it the defense thing? Yeah, I know I was a bitch about it. There fine, I said it. Happy--?"

Hermes was now sobbing lightly, I curled up on my bed my blanket crumpled under me. I was a bit frightened now, my breath was shaky. "Hey.... Hermes! Serious, what\'s up with you?"

THUD!!

That sounded like something fell on the ground, I held my breath to listen well. Did something happen to Hermes? No! I could still hear him sobbing underneath, does that mean that he dropped his phone? Now I knew something was definitely wrong.

Hermes\' next words jolted me.... It was something that I never expected!

"It was me-- I was the one who poisoned Hades!!" His words reached me like a sledgehammer settling down on a steel nail, my stomach felt like a pit of icy water. Was this a joke too? I doubted Hermes would ever joke with something like this and what did he mean by poison Hades? Was Lord Hades poisoned without me knowing? "I deserve to be hanged for what I did."

What was I supposed to do? Yell at him? Report him— to who? There were times like this I hated my guts but this was not one of those times, I mustered up all the courage and asked. "Calm down Hermes, why are you telling me this?"

I was good at reading people and Hermes was an easy one to read, from his heavy breathing he felt grieved, he was sweating all over— I did not need to see him to know this.

"Because, I want at least one person to know I did a bad thing and I regret it."

He did sound like he regretted it but doesn\'t this make me an acconplise to? No, I had to be level headed about this matter. "Who and why?" A simple question he would probably understand.

"I-- I --"

I could sense hesitation in his voice, his heart was thumping harder and my heart speeding to catch up, the fact that Hermes the nicest god I knew would try to kill Hades was chaotic.

"I can\'t say, sorry." He said finally, I could hear him picking up the phone. "Just wanted to let you know though, goodby—"

"Hey wait!!" I was not sitting up and waving my hand to an imaginary construct of him. "Why tell me of all people? Is it because you feel guilt? Are you that confident I won\'t tell Lord Hades the moment he wakes up?" I had to know if he thought this out or it was a slip up.

He gave me a confident yet pained response. "You care about Hades, you\'ll do what\'s right. I trust you—"

BEEEEEEEP!!

He disconnected the line leaving me in a world of mixed emotions. What has Hermes gotten himself into to leave him in such a state? And who is after Hades\' life? That I have to find out--!
