The boys were following Marie until Andy called James’ name. He went over to her thinking, what does she want? I already found another girl. Can’t she just let me be!
“Hey, can we talk for just talk for a moment? I’ve been meaning to ask you something,” Andy asked.
“Sure,” James mumbled, “What do you want to talk about?”
“One second, let's go to your house first.” Five minutes later they were in the house. Andy looked around, quickly at the dirty so called “house.”
“James, are we friends?” Andy asked.
“Um… yes,” he said uncertainly.
“Are you sure”
“Yes, I am sure”
“Good. Do you love me? Like actually, truly, love me?”
James went silent.
“That’s what I thought,” she mumbled.
“What?”
“Nothing!” She closed her eyes and eagerly said summon, “Hey, look into my eyes, I need to tell you something, it’s important.”
James looked and took a deep breath. It was his last one after hearing Andy saying, “I’m the daughter of Hades.” Andy put him on the bed in his house. One down, one more to go. Thank you spirit, why have I never thought of this before?
It was around noon when Andy found Eddie and went to his house.
“Eddie, do you love me? Like love me enough to be married to me?” She silently said. Eddie looked at her thoughtfully, “I love you! Only as a friend of course.”
She closed her eyes and said summon, only this time her eyes didn’t change; the basilisk spirit appeared out of her and waited for her command to kill.
“Eddie, I’m the daughter of Hades and Persephone, and you really shouldn’t have ever left me for another girl. I bestow you a good bye now,” and she nodded to the basilisk while Eddie was in shock. He then took his last breath and closed his eyes.
