Nathan’s POV
“Why the hell does Hades’ dog is here on the mortal world?” Gene blurted out from behind. Gone are their sleepy eyes a while ago that are now replaced with curiosity and a little bit of fear. Aside from that, I can see from their eyes the excitement to see one of the mythical creatures literally straight from hell.
Without answering anyone, Antonov opened the door and hops off the car. I just stayed still while watching them go out one by one until I’m the only one left in this vehicle.
I stare at the roaring hound that became more aggressive as he sniff the air and his eyes focused on my team walking straight to him.
He released a loud, dangerous howl as Antonov is right in front of him.
‘This is really hell...’ I said to myself before putting on my gloves and getting out of the car. When I got there, I’ve been blocked by a crowd of bystanders and these crazy shits literally don’t know what danger they could be in.
“This is so cool... Look, I’m getting lots of views from my live!” I overheard one of them while showing his friend his phone wherein loads of reactions have been floating up the screen and numerous comments. I went near and read some of them.
“So cool, I wish I was there.”
“Is that true? I’m going now.”
“Get out of there, that s**t is dangerous!”
Well, at least one of them is still on the right mind. I shifted my glance to another side and saw a couple of girls doing a t****k, dancing while their background is the Cerberus who’s other head is looking directed at them.
Uh-oh...
Everything happened to fast and I just saw one of those girls cry in anguish as the dog scratched her body non-stop.
“H-Help me!”
The crowd stood frozen, unable to digest what is happening in front of them.
"N-No!" The girl weakly said. She managed to look at my direction with pleading eyes before completely closing them.
The crowd snaps back in reality and most of them ran back to their cars and drove away, screaming because of what they saw. Meanwhile, the others stay still to video what is happening and didn't even bother to help the lifeless girl.
This is really bullshit.
"Everyone!" I shouted and their stares and phones aim directly at me. "This is not a joke! Stop being all bullshit or just die just like the girl your recording in!" I continued and went to the place where Antonov and the rest are.
“We have to stop him, but first... We must drove this crazy citizens away and delete all the video recordings on their phone. We will just be a step closer for our identity and capabilities to be revealed...” I seriously told them while shaking my head.
All of us have great abilities, but I don’t know if we have something that fits the problem we have to solve right now.
“I got it,” Gene said before fishing his phone out from his pocket and dialed someone’s number. While he’s doing it, my eyes wander on the small crowd and stopped when I saw something that pique my attention.
“He said yes.” I turn back to Gene and raised my eyebrows. He just rolled his eyes and shows me his phone wherein the call just ended. “He said he’ll be working on it now. He’ll remove videos from here to every platform so our problem now is this stupid and crazy citizen.”
“I got it,” Antonov replied and in an instant, a loud siren has been heard coming toward our direction. The people lost it and go running back to their cars and drove away. Some of the cop cars chase theirs that made them drove speedily on the high way.
“Everything is clear,” Gene said arrogantly and raised his hands to stretch, only to be shock when a damn three headed hound ran to his direction and charge on him.
“Gene!” We shouted as we saw him getting attacked and pushed to the empty cars. He groaned in pain as the hound howls loudly on him. Before the dogs attacked, he glared at them and made his body on fire.
Literally on fire...
He bravely and mindlessly punches the hound’s heads with his flaming fists and continues doing it. He seems so experienced in fighting that made me wonder, where do he learn how to fight?
I stepped back as I felt the intensity of his flame reaching on to us. I’m already sweating even if I haven’t move a single muscle yet.
“Stop it, Gene. Let us handle it. The Cerberus is not affected by heat as it literally stays in hell with his owner.” Antonov said and went to his direction. He sneakily went to the Cerberus’ back and tries to attack it when his other head looks straightly at him.
He released a loud growl and all the three heads faced Antonov while showing their pointed teeth and salivating mouth.
“Who sent you and why are you here?” Antonov asked while stopping their teeth from biting him as Gene is on the back and holding back their body.
The Cerberus released a loud and angry howl before a deep voice materialize from them.
“A special and deadly soul is missing from the Tartarus just because someone messed from the timeline...”
I stood frozen when I hear what he say and slowly turn my gaze on them. The hound continuously howls while a voice translates it from inside.
“You will all suffer his outrage...” His gaze turned to me before a cloud of dark smoke emitted from him. As the smoke clears, and so is the Cerberus who is now gone from our sights.
His words and stares kept ringing and replaying on to my mind like a broken disk.
“A special and deadly soul is missing from the Tartarus just because someone messed from the timeline...”
“You will all suffer his outrage...”
I felt shiver down to my spine as I felt that he directed them to me. But... why? Is it really for me or for someone else? And if ever, who is the dangerous soul who escaped Tartarus is the one he’s talking about?
I shook my head and turn my back on them only to be greeted by shocked, curious stare of the girl that piques my attention earlier. When she raised her head, her light blue orbs met mine that made something stir from my inside.
“Guys, I think we have another problem...” I absent mindedly said while watching her stood up and ran away from our direction while holding her phone on her hands.
“Someone caught us using our abilities, and it’ll only be a snap of time for us to be known and hunted by mortals.”
