"Even though you can't hold fire with your bare hands doesn't mean you can't control it"

The walls of the room begin to crack and the golden desk crumbles to the ground along with the mirror that shatters all around. The power so great and powerful that it throws everyone back from the force. Light all around Arabella makes them unable to see her. Hades the King of Hell can't even resist her power, her magical properties more powerful than any of them have ever seen or felt before. Inside the light she is and her fire dress is awake and raging like fire is supposed to be. The fire colored hair on her head has grown longer and now reaches to mid-thighs.

The fire shapes in her irises are glowing brightly and they move in fire motions. No crown is on her head but the crimson colored stone in the necklace glows. All her emotions are coming out at once and it's tearing her apart. The magic in her veins is trying to help her by releasing it yet the sadness and sorrow makes it harder to be able to control it and the Hellfire inside her is trying to break out of her and into the world, burning everything and everyone it can.

Hellfire might not do much to Hades or the objects around them but it can burn not only Thalia and Poseidon but also Jaxon and she cannot allow that to happen. She must control herself and control the things that are inside of her blood. Taking a deep breath and letting it out to try to calm herself down she does it again and slowly but surly she does feel herself become calm. Trying not to think of the things that have happened and the sadness, the fire in her dress begins to calm down and the roaring flame becomes smaller with each second until it is perfectly calm yet still strong on her dress.

Her eyes begin to see Lucifer or the one she thinks is Lucifer, Poseidon and Thalia and lastly her brother on the ground. She forces herself to not cry anymore for she has cried so much. She stands on her two feet and looks with sadness at the man that she loves as she slowly walks over to him. It has been so long yet so short amount of time since she has seen him. Perhaps it is because she can remember the happy times she had with her fake husband in that place in her mind and she felt like she was so long in there yet it only has been a day that has passed.

"Lucifer" She says softly as she warps herself into his embrace which he does not deny her and his arms are quick to go around her waist and lower back to pull her closer to him. "It's Hades now, darling" He tells her. She looks up at him with confusion. It is as the two of them are alone in the world when they are together as they easily get lost in each other for the love their feel is so strong.

"Hades?" She asks confused then again she has always known him as Lucifer and nothing else. "Yes, my love" He tells her as he pulls her even closer to him. The fire in her dress doesn't harm him nor make him feel uncomfortable as he is Hellfire like she is. "Hades. I do like it" She says to him with a soft, sad smile. The sadness inside of her is still present yet after her outburst only few minutes ago she feels better, like some of the weight has been lifted off her shoulders.

"My brother is dead and I cannot find my other one. I do not understand what has happened to them" Arabella says. She tries not to look at her brother dead of the ground. She wants to remember him with a smile on his face and happiness in his eyes, not his lifeless face and hallow eyes with no life in them. She wants to remember him as he used to be and not who he has become. "T-they're both... dead..." Thalia trails off. Poseidon had helped her stand up and wrapped his arms around her for comfort, trying to help her through this hard time that they are facing now.

"Where is Grayson?" Arabella asks her but she shakes her head at her question. There is only one person that knows where he is but none have seen that person for some time. Arabella bites her own inner cheek with her teeth to try to stop herself from crying. Her eyes are hurting from shedding so many tears and she wonders if her appearance is as horrible as she feels inside. She wonders if her eyes are red and puffy from crying.

She can't see herself in the mirror as there are shards in every size in the thousands scattered around the floor. The fire eyed girl sees something and walks over to the wall near the door. Her hand reaches out to touch the crack that has formed, it is not a very big one yet it is a crack. Reminding her of the crack that formed in the floor where the old woman, her mother was banished by her into. As soon as she traces the whole crack with her fingers it starts to connect itself and the wall becomes the same as it was before. Like the cracks never took place.

She walks over to the broken mirror, never caring for the broken glass on the ground and she does the same with the mirror as she did the wall and her fingers trace the broken frame. The shards on the ground rise up from the floor and connect themselves on the mirror itself and becomes whole. Her eyes find herself and she smiles. With just her hands she can put things back together. She takes the white rose that she wonders how is still alive yet anything is possible now, after everything that she has been through.

Setting the rose back down at the golden table she turns around to look at Hades and walks over to him. But she doesn't walk to him but past him. "Hades, we must take our places on the thrones where we belong" She tells him. Arabella does everything she can not to think of or see her dead brothers, she can't do it. It hurts so much and she can't feel that. She won't allow herself to feel that way. He nods his head and together they go to the throne room while Poseidon helps Thalia.

"Are you all right?" He asks her as he picks her up bridal style into his arms, sensing that she frankly does not have the strength to walk on her own and it should not be appropriate for her after she has lost someone she cares deeply for. Thalia shakes her head in his arms but she doesn't fight him, doesn't have the strength nor the will. She has lost the only man she has ever loved. "Death is hard, I know that better than anyone, yet it will get better" He whispers to her.

Comforting her after such a tragic event that she has been through. Hell was invented to punish the sinners of the human world yet they were never supposed to witness death again as there is nothing alive in the Underworld, except for Arabella and the white rose. She shakes her head once more as if she does not agree with him. "It will not get better" She whispers, her voice so low that he could barely hear her but he did hear her words. Smiling softly to her and nods his head. "For some it can dwell forever yet what helps most is thinking that their loved would not want them to cry but instead smile and live happily" He tells her.

"How can you smile and live a happy life in a world where misery is thrown at you at every open door?" She asks me and he sighs. He might not know much of the Underworld, or how the punishment are but he knows that she is right. "Perhaps all you need is someone to stay there with you, the young Arabella is in the same misery as you now. The two of you can help each other overcome this pain" He tells her.

Poseidon smiles when she nods her head against his chest. He walks down the hallways and all the way to a room that he is rather familiar with, his room. She needs somewhere to be where there won't anyone come find her. He can sense that she needs to be alone with herself before she can be around others to share her pain. The first step in getting over it is always the hardest. He puts her down on the bed and pulls the fresh covers over her body. "Just rest here and when you are ready, you can come out" He tells her and she nods her head.

He leaves the girl on the bed and walks out of the room and closes the door behind him before he walks down the dark hallways. Walking down the hallways to a room where he knows that someone is in. Opening the door he sees Grayson on the ground, dead with blood all around him, staining his clothes and the floor beneath him. Sighing, the blonde King walks over to Grayson and turns him around on his back where he sees there is a knife in his stomach.

"I know you are there sister" He speaks to the shadows as he looks down at the dead human on the floor who clearly suffered a agonizing death. Luna appearing from the shadows as she had been done in the dungeons and the evil smirk on her face is enough to tell him that she is the reason that Grayson is dead. "If you wanted a massacre you could have slaughtered Demons, I'm sure our dear brother could have spared a few" He tells her and she rolls her eyes at his words she as walks over Grayson's dead body.

"You call this a massacre?" She asks as dark chuckles escape past her lips. "No, my dear brother, this is what had to be done to save the Queen who sits on her throne right now with air in her lungs and a heartbeat in her chest. This is the sacrifice that had to be made to keep her alive" She says and she hides her emotions, hides the fact that all she wishes to do is crumble down and cry because of what she has done to her friend she wants to cry because the only friend she has will forever hate her.

It dawns upon him why the human brothers are dead and in his head the pieces begin to fit together perfectly. "In order for Arabella to have life you had to take two" He whispers which makes her nod her head though her face might be hiding the emotions her eyes tell all what she feels inside and how the sadness is almost destroying her from the inside out. Before she could react Poseidon pulls his sister in for us a hug, a hug that both of them clearly needed after all that has happened.

"Forgive me for all that I have done to you, I see now that you have a good heart" He whispers to her. Luna still has not hugged him back as she is shocked that he is hugging her. Her whole life none of her brothers have cared much for her as she was the youngest and not nearly as important as they are. A hug is not what she has gotten much of and up until Arabella hugged her before, she doesn't remember ever being hugged before. Luna scoffs. "A good heart? I don't believe that is possible" She says.

"Come, let us go back to them, I believe the Queen is about make her speech" He says but she freezes and breaks the hug and throws him away from her. "I can't face her after what I did to her, I would rather never see her again then to see her broken face all over again. It burns in my memory, her tears, it hurts to see her like that. I cannot watch it any longer" She says as she feels the salty tears stain her vision yet she does not allow them to fall down nor even escape from her eyes.

The anger in her face is a clear sign to stay away from her but the anger that she is feeling is not towards Poseidon, or Arabella or even her other three brothers, it's towards herself for what she has done. "I think I was beginning to take liking towards him" Luna then confesses and looks down at the ground where Grayson still lies. Her brother looks at her in shock and surprise at her confession. "But I had to save her" She then says before she walks past him and out of the room.

Trying to let all the things that she told him sink into his mind he turns around and walks out of the room, making a mental note to have someone clean up the mess that has been made. Poseidon walks to the throne room where his brother and Arabella sit on their thrones. Demons in their human form flooding inside the room and filling it up as they watch in awe at their King and Queen who have serious faces. Poseidon looks with wonder at the girl who only a couple of weeks ago was frightened yet has now accepted who she truly is.

He smiles when he sees her on that throne and she doesn't even need a crown on her head to tell everyone that she is the Queen, her whole presence just screams power and all who stand in that room can feel the power that she has and how strong it is. She is their Queen. Once the doors of the throne room are closed by the guards after the room is fill, silence fills the room and no one dares to utter a single word as the power couple stare down at them from their thrones.

"I said to you all that everything will be different in my reign and it will. Hell is about to change from now on. You are all coincided to be the nobles of this kingdom, correct?" Arabella asks the people in the throne room. "Yes, we are, my Queen" One of them says and all the other agree to it. She nods her head but her emotionless look doesn't change, if anything it becomes more deadlier than it has been as the anger in her eyes is clear as day and the fire in her dress is eager to grow and destroy.

"Then you are all hereby stripped of that title now and until the end of time, and that title will be given to the ones you have treated as servants and slaves. No longer will you rule over anyone ever again or you shall answer to me" She says and her words leave a shocking look on each and every one of their faces as they fear what is to come. Hades looks at the love of his life with a proud look on his face and love filling his crimson red eyes.

"You cannot do this" "You are taking our lives away" "This is outrageous" They continued to call out but Arabella and Hades have stopped listening a long time ago and the more they speak and the longer they keep this on going the more angrier they are about to become. The two of them are Hellfire and both of them have a temper, yet while one is sweet and kind the other will not hesitate to murder anyone he wants dead. Arabella stands up from her throne which silences everyone in the room as all eyes are cast on her.

"I am your Queen and you are my subjects, I do what I wish and to restore order into this kingdom this is my decision!" She calls out. The fires lighting up the room slowly growing bigger and more dangerous as they roar around when no one notices. "Do not forget that this is Hell, a place for all of you to suffer. Because you were the sinners of the human world. This is your punishment and not your dream. For years all of you have been treated the same as you were in the human world, everything done for you and you never satisfied with anything" She continues.

"That may be all the sin that you have committed while others may have done worse yet you are all here by our mercy. As Queen I am kind and just but when it comes to injustice I will answer it. I will fight for those who no one dares to defend and I will not hesitate to put those who stand against me to death" She says, her voice darkening as her power grows around the room. The fear that she inspires is shocking yet she is the most powerful person in the world.

Luna had snuck inside the throne room from behind and watches her friend speak like that and she can't help but notice how she has changed from that girl she was before to the Queen she is now. It may have been only a couple of weeks that have passes yet she is fitting perfectly into her new role. She smiles when she sees Arabella like that, wishing that she can be with her on their in her own throne yet she knows she is not welcome there, not when she learns of what she did to her brothers and she fears that Arabella might never forgive her for what she did do.

While all that was taking place in the throne room. Inside the bedroom that Hades and Arabella sleep and will soon return to, lies Jaxon still on the ground, dead like he was before when everyone left the room. However, his body has not grown cold as his heart has begun to beat again in a steady heartbeat like it normally should be. His eyes snap open as the air rushes into his lungs and he gasps out. Jaxon, Arabella's older brother is alive.
