CHAPTER I: NEW COMPUTER
NICO'S POV
These characters dontbelong to me, they belong to Rick Riordan, or does the story Emily, does not belong to me.
If I were to explain to you, how all this happened it's because of a simple Liked story on the website Ghost Stories. You'll cursed me to the Gods saying "It's completely insane!" Well, tell that to my new boyfriend; Will Solace. He will beat you with a stick then fix you up again, if you claim this is not real. Well, I'll start from the beginning to see if you understand.
"Nico!" Hades called from downstairs, he was holding a box in his arms; leaning against the stairs wall.
"Nico!"
I groaned and sat up from my warm blankets and groan as I stood up and walked over to the stairs and looked down at Hades.
"Yes, Father? What's wrong?" I asked as I rub my eyes and leaned side to side from the quick drain of my muscles for waking up too fast.
"Be careful, my son." Hades said and walked up the stairs and stood in front of me.
"I got you this - what you wanted."
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
"What did you get me, Father?" I asked.
"A new computer, even better than the new laptop that came out." Hades said handing me the box.
I froze there, for just a moment to stare at my father. This man, who has a very hard time showing his emotions and always working and never being here; got me a computer. I only asked it one time to read and post stories of Ghost; the stories he used to tell me at night to scare me when I was a kid.
"Nico?"
I snapped out of it and took the box.
"Thank you, father. It means a lot."
Hades nods. "Well, enjoy it. Now, I must be off to work. I'll see you soon enough." He said, and with that, he was gone like the shadows in the light.
I walked back into my room, closed the door and sat down on my bed and started opening up the box and connecting my new computer to everything. To be honest, I was pretty excited. This was my first computer since.. things happened in my family.
"Woah.." I said as I watched the computer power on and saying my name. Talk about fancy.
After a while of downloading games, music, and pictures; an advertisement came up saying 'Ghost Stories', now, my father told me hundreds of stories and i could win money out of this. Let scare some people.
So, I clicked on it and saw a bunch of people in it and started making an account; I named myself Ghost King; and finally finished and looked through the stories. Then entered the competition and started writing a short story named Emily.
After about an hour or two of reading it so much and changing it so many times. My head began to spin in circles much bigger than Jupiter itself. I posted it on the website's contest and stood up to grab a cup of water from downstairs.
Slowly walking down the stairs, I stared at the photos covered in darkness of the night with only a dim light to shine them.
"Dear sister, dear mother. You never asked such a fate. It does look like, fate never really did much care of our innocence. Father has never been the same since you both left us. Tell me now, wherever you are. Are you happy?" I said as I touched the last final step and stepped off the steps, walking to the kitchen, it was quite lonely, Father had helpers but, they seem like the dead.
"Nico!"
I groan softly as that pitch voice hit me. "Yes, step-mother?"
"Dont call me that now. I will never be your mother and i never want to be. Anyways, theres no milk. Go out and get some. Before Mother comes demanding cereal." Persephone said a bit annoyed with my present.
"Do you have the money? I will go right away, your majesty." I said as i bowed slightly at her.
She smirked at the named of majesty.
In father house, they always treat them king and queen, cold eyes, no heart, no soul, but what do you expect from a family living among the dead? Yes, the dead. Father owns a big and i mean - big funeral company with death sentences in hospital.
"Your father has given you money. Use it. Now hurry get out of my sight." She said and waves her hand away as she looks at a white rose in the other.
I nodded and walked back up to my bedroom and grabbed some money from the table, my jacket, my boots, and my hat and was out the door.
It was dark, the stars were so bright, so far as I stared into the sky as I walked down the street in the dark, a shooting star passed by, maybe the gods didnt hate me too much to give a wish.
"I wish... for someone to love."
As quick as the wind moves, so was the hope of love from a wish that will never come true.
I finally got the milk and returned home seeing my father speaking to one of his helpers, Thanatos. I slipped passed them, putting the milk away and walked back up to my room closing the door, turning on the lights and sat on my bed and looked over to my new computer and on my profile, there was a messaged sent along with a liked to my story.
Curiously, I took off my boots, my jacket, but left my hat on as I laid down onto my bed and pulled the blankets over my body and my head and opened the story and saw it was liked by the very first person named Dr.-Solace-Sunshine.
Then, after my messages and saw him send a messaged saying:
"Hello, Ghost King."
WILL'S POV
So, today. I finally had my day off with no work, no homework, no one around. Finally! Now, I can go onto Ghost Stories and scary myself to the hills until I pass out. Some chips, candy, and juice. Even healers needed their junk food too.
Anyways, I saw this big contest of a short story, I got curious and clicked in and started strolling down reading each one of them, they were boring. Murders, suicides, and all that nice stuff. I'm tired of it, so I grabbed juice and sat up as I saw this story that popped out to me named 'Emily' by Ghost King.
I opened it up and read it very slowly.
'When we were moving from Germany back to the states, then my five year old daughter said to me, "Mommy, I'm really going to miss Emily." I racked my brain and could not recall a friend named Emily, so I asked her about it. I'll never forget these words. She set her warm chocolate down, glanced up at me with the most casual smile and said, "You know, the girl who crawls out from under my bed to play with me." (Instagram, .Terror. Her stories are so amazing!)
It sent chills down my back and suddenly the wind came so sudden it blew my windows open; I yelped and dropped my juice all over the place.
"Dang it!" I said loudly and got down on the floor, glancing over my room.
"You better not be real, Emily."
Looking back at the floor covered in juice along with some clothes on the floor, I sighed. Ghost King, you scared me. That hasn't happened in a while. Congrates.
"Well, looks like I've got some cleaning." I walked over to my bedroom door and grabbed the knob and slowly opening and opened the door and saw a figure there and screamed like a little girl remembering the story 'Emily', I slammed the door and locked it and ran back to my bed and hide under the blankets.
"William?" Said a soft voice.
"Mother?" I asked softly.
"It's me, were you reading scary stories again? You know you can't sleep after them." She said as she slowly opened the door.
I took off my forte of blankets and pillows and looked up at her. "I know, mom. But this story was just so good. I couldn't help myself."
She was about to walk towards me when she saw the juice spilled over the floor and sighed staring down at me. "William Solace, go clean this up."
I sighed and nodded as I walked towards the kitchen and bend down to open a file cabinet and pulled out the cleaning supplies, then stood up and looks out the window. "Ghost King.. you got me goosebumps. I want to know more stories in your head." I smiled and walked back to my room and threw some soap on the ground and some water and started washing the juice off until I dryed it off with the vacuum.
I sat back down on my bed, pulled over my computer and wrote a message to him saying:
"Hello, Ghost King."
Hey Guys! Sorry Will was so short! I didnt know what else to put! But anyways! I hope you like it! This idea was used by permission by pathetic-megy! I asked them if I could do it and they said yes! I send a message to her saying if I could use her story. She hasnt answered me.
