The smell of death is an easy thing to get used to, well it helps when your dad is Hades. The underworld isn't really that bright but what do you expect from hell. It isn't that bad but it's nothing compared to the world outside. I was having a great dream for once until the persistent knocking coming from my door.
"Urg, who is it?" I asked in the nicest voice I could, but everyone knows not to wake me up.
"Charlotte, it's your father. Your mother would like to see you." Hades said.
"Okay, let me get dressed and where should I meet her?" I asked politely.
"She's in the dinning room." Hades said with a chuckle.
"Let me guess eating cereal with grandma" My mother is Persephone and my grandma is Demeter, goddess of the harvest whom loves cereal.
"Yes, well you get dressed. I'll see you downstairs in 5" And with that his footsteps echoed down the corridor.
What to where today, I open my walk-in wardrobe and step inside. My room is pretty big with my walk-in wardrobe with an en-suite branched of it. I pass the first row of hangers on my left until I find my t-shirts and pick a plain black one and go to where I keep my shorts and pick out a red pair. After I have picked out my underwear I go for a shower and then get dressed. I leave my long brown hair to dry naturally so it goes curly. I move on to my make up, I put on some smokey eye shadow and finish with mascara and black eye liner and head down stairs to the dinning room.
As I get down stairs I start to hear the arguments again and the dinning room is still down the corridor. I walk as slow as I can so I can hear what's happening before I enter the room. Once, I get there I open the door and walk in and sit in my usual seat at the end of the table from everyone else. I was just about to pick up my usual apple when I realise everyone is staring at me.
"What?" I asked. Nobody moved so I turned around and saw a boy just taller than me which isn't that hard. He has black hair with dark eyes just like dad's.
"Hi, who are you?" I ask the stranger.
"I'm err Nico." He replied.
"Well, Nico are you just going to stand there or would you like some breakfast?" I asked him.
"Yes, please." Nico replied and went to sit down opposite me.
"Mother, Father stop staring and say something." I say very authoritatively.
"Err ... What are you doing here Nico?" My father asked Nico.
"I came to visit you?" He replied even though it sounded more like a question. I wonder why he came to visit because no one visits Hades and he doesn't look immortal so he must be a ...
"Dad, please tell me you didn't," I said sternly.
"Well, Charlotte erm it happened a long time ago," Hades said.
"How, Why? I'm sorry is have to leave. I'm going for a walk." I said walking out of the room. How could he, he broke the oath but he said it happened a long time ago. That isn't possible he lied to me again. I have to get out of here. I decide I'll use Shadow Travel, I don't know where I'm going but I need space. I can't think in the Underworld where dad can find me so easily. I just have to go.
