Death Isn't Fun


Ugh. I don't wish or want to be dead. So when the monitor thingy went out so did I. I fell into a pit of darkness and right onto hard ground. The entire place was dark. "How did you die" I snapped around to see someone in a robe and somehow we were in a boat. "What?" "How did you die" "An arrow was shot through my intestines and blood spattered everywhere on everyone and I was I a pool of blood as my innards became my outards." His face scrunched. "No need for details" "I'm just kidding but I was shot with a poisonous arrow. Oh what's your name?" "Charon" "Oh yeah Percy told me he met you. Ever get that raise?" His head dropped. "No" "Trust me you will get it!" I said winking. "How?" "Why Hades is my father" "Your going to Thanatos" "Ah the God of death. Literally. Hazel told me he was pretty handsome I wonder if he is" "Ask Eros or Aphrodite" "My mother" "What? I thought you were a child of Hades?" "I am. And Aphrodite. As well as Apollo, Athena, Posiedon-" "You... Your the Mixed Demigod!" "Why yes I am" "I would ask for your autograph if you weren't- you know- dead." "Well your raise will be my auto graph." "You'll probably go to Elysium" "Nah I didn't die a hero" "You- wait one second I'm getting a call" the boat pushed forward and he pulled out a cell phone. "No sir- Yes sir- Yes I understand sir- No I didn't ask sir-" "That's my father hand it over" I said placing my palm face up for the phone. He shook his head so I grabbed it from him. "Charon gets a raise" was all I said before the other side hung up. I shrugged and handed it back to him. We arived at shore and I saw the three lines plus Cerberus. And my two big fathers. Shoot. Cerberus was pouting knowing I was dead and Poseidon was crying into Hades who was just standing there not sure what to do. Not one for affection. Same dad. Same. I walked up to my fathers and Poseidon looked down at me and then cried into Hades again. He pushed him off and Hades wrapped me in a hug. A hug. From my father. Wow this weird. I hugged him back either way. When he let me go he gave me sympathy eyes. I hate that. I moved away from him and walked toward the lines. "Ok I've never done this before where do I go?" Hades raised his eyebrows. "If you don't know then it's not your time." "Ok then how do I get back?" His hand gestured to Charon. "Oh yeah thanks for reminding me. Charon gets a raise and I need to see someone who should be in Elysium." "And who might that be?" "Ch- Beckondorf" Hades nodded and led me through Elysium as Poseidon followed behind. It was amazing. Hades told me that it is whatever I imagined it to be. I won't go into detail about it. I saw a dark skinned boy with battle armor. I choked down a sob. That's him. He's my brother. My blood brother. He lifted his hea d and saw me. We stared at each other for a second till I raced toward him. I hugged him and collapsed on the ground hugging him. He hugged me back. "I've missed you Beckondorf" "You can call me Charles. Or Charlie. Either one" he said in my shoulder. "Wait" he let me go. "You can't be I  Elysium unless your dead" he said studying me. "Well..." "How" "Poisonous arrow through the stomach" "Ouch" "Oh it didn't hurt" "Wow that's surprising" "Speaking of which how long has it been?" "About four five years I think" "Too long well I got to go. See ya... Beckondorf" I gave him one last hug then kissed his forehead before I left. "Wait! Lillie! Who is your godly parent" I gestured to the two gods behind me. His reaction though. "There's more!" I called over my shoulder. A thought came to my mind. But I can't do it now. I'm dead. He probably likes it down here better anyway. A bright light flashed and I fell. "Come young child. It isn't your time" I looked up to see three old women. The Fates. I backed up a little to run into someone. I turned around and there was a very handsome man. He was wearing a black shirt that hugged his muscular chest and black pants with a chain around his neck. His chin was drizzled and his eyes dark and mysterious. He also had wings. Big black ones. Huge. "Thanatos" was all I could say. He looked at me. "Yes?" My jaw dropped. "Every time. Yes?" I shut my jaw and was about to say something when he got down to his knees and put a hand on my shoulder. "Like I told every other Aphro-" "Don't. Even. Say it. I'm a child of Hades." "Ah but your also a child of Aphrodite" "And Apollo, Poseidon, Athena and more. Shall we continue your meaningless subjective?" "Sassy. Great job Hades." He said winking at me. He was beautiful. Just beautiful. I narrowed my eyes at his flirting techneek. I batted my eyelashes flirtatiously. "Oh Thanatos if only I could love a god!" I said with a dramatic with and the back part of my wrist against my forehead winking at Hades so he knew I was faking. Thanatos blinked twice before smirking. "Your right. If only Lillie Parker" I didn't stop. I knew he was trying  to get me to phase. I sighed heavily and fell back I knew he would catch me. As planned, he did. I looked into his eyes and his eyes told the truth. He did mean what he said. Puzzled for a second I then caught on. I leaned forward but didn't kiss him I mean his a god. "If only Thanatos" I whispered in his ear. He picked me up and set me on the ground. I kept batting my eyes till he walked over to Hades. By god he could have been Heaven. I shook my head. No! You have Caleb!

Who said you can't cheat?

Aphrodite get the F*** out of my head!

But darling!

Out!

Babe do you cheat on me?

Dad! Mom! Get out!

I crashed to the floor holding my head, because of  the two gods screaming in my mind. I screamed and they all came running. Thanatos seemed to understand. He started petting my hair. "They'll be gone in a minute Lillie just push them out" "What are you doing Thanatos? What's wrong with her?" Poseidon asked. "Aphrodite and Ares are fighting in her mind" "Ouch. I'll get them to quit." Poseidon slammed his trident into the air then the fighting stopped. I started shaking my head was killing me it was as if my mind was being split in half. Thanatos grabbed me and set me on his lap his arm around my waist as if holding me like a baby. I was a bit frightened at the loving touch from an adult I hardly knew and didn't care too much about. He leaned his face close to mine. Like way close that if he tried to whistle our lips would be touching. I shivered. He smirked and got just a bit closer to where our lips touched. "It isn't your time Lillie. I'll send you back." He then kissed me and then POOF huge migraine! I grabbed my stomach at the pain and sat straight up screaming. I looked around to see Will, Luke, Caleb, Annabeth, Percy, Nico, Thalia, Lyra, Hayle, Grace, Sophie, Alex, and Cody standing around me. I put my hands on where the arrow used to be before thudding back on the pillow thinking about what just happened. In the underworld.... Beckondorf.... Thanatos.... Kissing.... Oh right. I opened my eyes again and this time saw Thanatos leaning on the wall behind my friends. As soon as he saw me starring he waved. I stood up pushing off the blankets and walked up to him. "Hey" then collapsed on the floor. He picked me up real quick and sat me on the bed. He patted my head, which I hate, then walked back to the wall. Grrr. Sometimes gods aggravate me.
