Will POV

(A/N: three updates in one day?! How?!)

I was in the line to be judged if I go to Elsyim, Punishment or Asphodel. Is this what happened to Lee and the others I couldn't save? Selena, Luke? I thought of Luke as a brother. We were close before he.... Left. I even told him I was a neko. After what seemed like years I walked into a room. There where three ghosts and a big throne where Hades was sitting. There where stands where spectators could watch. I saw Nico, Kayla, Austin and the seven. "William Solace son of Apollo and...." The ghost in the middle spoke out and I heard him whisper "What does that say?" "I dont know." The third ghost replied "Who is your mortal parent?" The first ghost asked. "Naomi Solace, sir." I replied. They all wrote something down. "Play the clip." One said. The clip showed my mother always "forgetting" me. But then it showed when I got claimed, after helping a young camper when her best friend died and turned into a tree. Annabeth in the crowd looked down. Then it showed all the times I almost died healing somebody. And finally it showed how I died. It looked a lot more heroic than it really was. In the middle of my "heroic" death Hades seemed to notice and stopped the  clip "Wait." He said and the ghosts nodded. "Your Will Solace? The Apollo kid?" I nodded "Yes sir- er... Yes Lord Hades." He looked at the crowd and started asking me questions. "If you could say one more thing to Nico what would you say?" Hades was probaly expecting a "Don't cry over me" or that other soppy stuff. I always hated those four words. Of course we would cry over the ones we loved. "I'm sorry I didn't kill Lycanon sooner and I'm sorry I died." I heard Nico start to cry. "What about your siblings, Austin and Kayla?" I thought more. "Austin; Thank you for trying to let me have a normal family but I love my Family  because we arent normal. Kayla, thank you for looking after me, and im sorry I can never repay you. Thank you both for everything." I heard to more people join in on crying. Hades thought for a little bit then asked what I would say to Nico's friends. "Thank you for watching over Nico when I didnt. I'm sorry I could only watch him for a while. Please, teach Nico how to love again. Teach him how to forget me." Hades sighed. The spectators were sobbing. "Well... You still have your little quests, demigod. And if I let you die.... You wouldn't complete your quests... And it would be a shame if the prohecy was discarded..." I started crying "Thank you... Thank you lord Hades!" I melted into light and went back into the mortal world.

  I was a ghost, but I knew I could return to my body soon but I wanted to mess around with my friends Travis, Connor, Lou, and Katie. I walked to my body. I was a mess. I had claw marks every where. My neon orange CHB shirt was dark red with blood. Dried blood stained the sides of my mouth. Travis had Katie in his arms, she was sobbing in his chest. Travis had silent tears running down his face. Lou was sitting, crying in her arms. Connor was shaking, and crying. I allowed them to see me. "Oooohhhh I'm a spooky ghost."

  They all looked up and saw me. Katie's voice was shaking. "W-Will is that you?" I smiled and hugged them, though I was probably cold. "No this is Dr. Strange." I joked. Lou laughed but she was still crying. "Why y'all sad?" Travis tried a smile and joked "Some idiot died." Connor nodded "He was our friend even though he was an idiot." I pretended to just now notice my body. "He was an idiot. How much did he have to screw up to end up like that?" Katie smiled and slowly stopped crying. "He did mess up alot. But that just made him kind. He always tried to fix whatever he messed up." I smiled and pretended to fade away " 'orry guys but I have to go." They nodded and said their goodbyes. I made sure they turned their backs before I allowed myself to breath again. I was alive. I followed them silently and when they stopped I pretended like I was out of breath. "Hey guys this idiot can't go that fast. Wait for me." Lou shrieked. Katie started sobbing. Travis and Connor huggee me. "Not cool bro." Travis said.    Before I could get Travis and Connor off me Lou and Katie hugged me. I hugged them all back. They cared. They noticed. Since they started crying again, I started crying. "Kayla is going to be so mad." Lou joked. "Hey you guys gotta make sure I don't die again 'cuz I don't think Hades will let me come back twice." I smiled. After what seemed like forever I told them the plan. They all agreed.

Hey. I died. I deserve to prank my family.
