Getting her back (part 4)

This is part 4 as you could see from the title and i hope you like it, we're nearing the end of this series though as the next part/part 5 might be the end of it. Though whenever it does end i hope you all still stay for my other ones as well and won't just leave or something after my demi-god series ends.

Zio didn't know what to do or say, he was just sitting next to Lia and Arren in front of the collapsed building as arren still tried to calm her down. He knew what had happened and knew why they were crying but he didn't understand HOW it happened. He and the others all thought it had been in fine condition, why would it do this?

"can't....can't we try to pull her out of the rubble? maybe she's still alive?" Zio then suggested to Arren almost in a mumble, he wasn't that good at talking to people a lot. Maybe there was a chance that she would be alive, demi-gods are tough! right?

Lia's ears went up faintly twitching when she hears that and runs off into the rubble, she had to save her! she had to be alive! this had to work, Harmony must have been through harder things than this before, right??

Arren and Zio glanced at each other with a sad look they knew there was more of a chance that she...wasnt. They had to try though, they couldnt just give up. what if she WAS still alive and they just left her for dead??

It took around ten minutes but they finally got Harmony out of the rubble and brought her over to the grass. "something's wrong with her wings but thats fine...lets just wake her up...she has to wake up..." Lia said with a nervous laugh.

Nothing. No matter what they did to try and wake her up, nothing. Lia closer and started to check for a pulse or her heart beat. nothing. harmony was gone.

"no...no...NO!" Lia screamed and tried a few things to try and get her pulse back, she had to get her back! it wasn't her time yet! nothing. Lia broke down and sobbed harder....her friend was gone.

"l-lia-" Zio said and started to get closer to her, maybe he could comfort her. maybe he could give her a hug, they weren't really friends but she needed one. he stopped though right before he got her into a hug, he couldn't do it.

The three of them could notice a rainbow in the distance starting to appear, it wouldn't land far away it was going to land right next to them. they watched knowing what was going to happen, how were they going to explain it to her??

"Iris iris!" she heard someone shouting her name as she was about to get on the rainbow while kind of in the middle of the forest. who would be out here? it sounded like....indigo?

"Indy what are you doing here?? you should go back home!" She made her rainbow stay in place as she walked over to Indigo who seemed exhausted. did she run all the way here or something? why was she even here?

"i...felt like something was wrong with harmony...mother senses ya know?" she said still exhausted. It was around a 40 minute walk from her place to the camp so she must have been really exhausted if she ran here.

"but Indy you can't even go into the camp! your not a goddess or a demi-god, your just a mortal and mortals cant enter!"

Indigo stared at her almost annoyed by that as she then tells her "uh duh! you don't think i know that? you have to go and check on our child!"

Iris was going to say something when they heard a loud growling and shrieking noise from inside the camp not to far away. its still in there, i have to go get her! they could hear some sparking and then all of a sudden all the lights went in the camp went out, making it almost completely dark. It didn't help that at the moment the sky was really dark, it was probably going to storm later.

damn it the monster destroyed the power! I just have to get my daughter and then i'll deal with the monster, she just has to be safe.

She didn't say anything else to indigo and jumped onto her rainbow knowing that the area she was heading to has to have Harmony there. "oh! kids there you are, harmony come to-" she saw her daughter laying on the ground with Lia sobbing over her. oh no...please no...

she ran over to them all looking at her daughter and then back up at the other three. "Arren...Lia....what happened to her...??" she asked as she picked her daughter up. we never even got to meet each other...oh god how do i tell indigo?...

None of them said anything to her they all just simply pointed to the collapsed building. None of them besides Iris and maybe a few other demi-gods in other area's of the camp knew that there was a monster in the camp. they must have just thought it was a terrible earthquake.

she then brought them all into a hug not saying anything either. she then suddenly got an idea, a really good idea! a idea that was sure to work!

"kids....we're going to the under world..." she told them all with a small smile as she then stood up and grabbed all of their hands. it was time to save her daughter, she wasn't going to let her stay dead and none of the others would as well.

"h..hey Zio...? thank you...." Lia said in a half mumble as she then hugged him a little. Zio flinched just a bit from the hug but...it felt good. he hugged her back almost smiling a little bit.

"Persephone please! can't you and hades just let me go back?" Harmony pleaded to her. Her wings hurt a lot and she couldn't even fly at the moment, she had been having to deal with this for an hour or so. But her just being DEAD and in the UNDER WORLD was worse than having hurt...maybe broken wings.

"Honey you know we can't do that...i'm really sorry but only if someone comes for you, and so far no one has..." Persephone told her a bit sadly.

"Hades...?" she asked still pleading. he was the god of the under world but maybe he could just let this one pass and let her go back to the camp.

He sighed and shook his head "harmony...i can't just do that.." some people had tried doing this as well, but like now it never worked. never.

"Hades!" they heard a voice shout and then many footsteps. The three of them looked around until they saw....Iris and her friends??

"m-mom...?"

Harmony and Iris ran over to each other giving each other a tight hug. my daughter....we can finally meet, your so beautiful... iris thought.

"well look at the timing of that...but she still can't go with you, theres something one of you have to do so she can go" Hades said with a small smile.

Each of them looked at each other not knowing what they should do. they remained silent for the next few minutes until they heard someone say "i'll stay here in place of Harmony...." Zio.

"w-what? no Zio you can't!" Lia said with her eyes widened, he was her friend! she didn't wanna lose someone, couldnt they do something else? "deal."

"n-no Zio your coming with us-" Lia started to say when Zio then brought her closer to him. he smiled at her before he then brought her even closer and kisses her on the lips.

Lia's tail went up in surprise almost wagging as she began to blush, she kissed him back smiling. "oh boy..." Arren mumbled with a small smile.

The two of them stopped kissing and Zio walked over to Hades and Persephone as Iris and the rest of them started to leave the underworld. Harmony would finally be back, she wouldnt be dead anymore. they still had something to deal with back at the camp though.

okay so if your wondering about the random romance at the end i was talking with a friend and they mentioned Zio x lia and its honestly really cute. Zia anyone :) and they didn't just meet in this part, they've known each other the whole time so its not really love at first sight and he started to love her 4 weeks before he was fully introduced.
