CHAPTER 43

Hades is escorted into the room before Gabby and Mal walk over to him.

"Thank you for coming," Gabby tells him.

"Didn't have much choice," Hades responds.

"Can you wake her?" Ben asks him.

"Since when do heroes care about villains?" Hades asks.

"She's..." Ben starts.

"One of your own," Hades says already knowing where he was heading. "Right. When you guys try to destroy the world it's an error in judgment. But when it's one of us lock them up and throw away the key. Right, Beast?" Beast glares at Hades before Hades holds out his hands. "Yeah. I'm gonna need to use my hands." Gabby looks at Ben, who then nods for the guards to uncuff him. Hades holds out his hand for the ember before Mal gives it to him. Once in his hand, his hair turns to blue flames. "Haven't lost my touch." Hades then turns to Beast and growls causing Beast to growl back.

"Dad!" Mal says causing Hades to stop. Hades stands at the end of Audrey's bed before the room turns blue. Hades waves the ember around before Audrey sits up in the bed and the room goes back to normal.

"Audrey. You're okay," Queen Leah says as Audrey looks around. Hades flips the ember in his hand before his hair goes back to normal.

"Tell me it was all a bad dream," Audrey says as she looks at Gabby and Ben.

"I wish I could. But, it's over now," Ben tells her.

"I'm sorry," Audrey says as she moves closer to Gabby and Ben. "I wanted to hurt you both. I wanted to hurt all of you."

"I have owed you an apology for a very long time now," Gabby says as she takes Audrey's hand in hers.

"And so have I," Ben says as he stands beside Gabby.

"And perhaps, I have owed you one, too," Queen Leah tells Gabby before bowing to her causing Gabby to smile and bow back.

"Oh, yeah," Hades says as Beast motions the guards towards him. They cuff Hades hands behind his back before leading him out of the room. Mal then quickly follows them out.
