As I fell from the tower all of the happy times I experienced flashed before my eyes and I knew I was ready for this. I could hear the shouts of people on the ground who saw me falling and I knew that I was only moments away from death. I braced for the impact but it never came it felt like I was underwater but I could breath. I opened my eyes but all I saw was darkness and when I tried to reach out I felt a smooth hard capsule surrounding me. I asked myself "Is this what death is like?" All of a sudden there was light again. The light was dim but it was light. "No my darling niece this is not what death is like. You see I couldn't bare to see you die before I actually could get to know you. So I saved you and left a fake you on the ground. Before you ask it is not a real body I created it. You were did not know all the facts of why your love was so angry and were not in the right state of mind to make a life or death decision. I am just keeping you long enough to see how much those people care for you nobody else knows you are here except for Hestia because she wants to have a word with you after you watch what has happened back on your world." My uncle Hades said. He waved his hand over a wall and a movie screen appeared. What started playing seemed like one of the death scenes in a movie. All the people I cared about seemed to be running in slow motion down the stairs and outside to where fake me lied dead.
I saw Lissa collapse into her boyfriend Christian's arms and I saw my mother and father holding on to each other for dear life while crying their eyes out. Worst of all I saw Dimitri. My love Dimitri sank to his knees next to my fake body. He pulled it into his arms and whispered to me in Russian "Moy milyy Roza , pozhaluysta, prosti menya. YA lyublyu tebya moy milyy . Pochemu vy dolzhny umeret' , prezhde chem ya mog by rasskazat' vam . Moya lyubov' , prosti menya. Pozhaluysta, vernis' eto dolzhen byt' kakoy- shutka pozhaluysta. (My sweet Roza please forgive me. I love you my sweet. Why did you have to die before I could tell you. My love forgive me. Please come back this must be some joke please.)" At that I began to cry. My heart was breaking at the anguish I had put him in. All of a sudden it the scene changed and I was viewing a funeral. One by one I saw my loved ones drop a single white rose on top of my casket. Even Adrian who I had only met for about ten minutes left one. The saddest was when Sara and Dimitri went. They went last and it killed me to see them. Both had red rimmed eyes and dark circles under their eyes. Sara went before her father and laid out the flower. "Why did you have to leave right after I got you back Rose? Anyone could see how much my father truly loved you except for you. I remember you saying to yourself how unworthy you were and how my father would probably just lose interest one day, but that would have never happened. I wish you were here to tell me what to do. I have grown up without a mother and while you were with us you felt like a mother to me. I need you more than ever but you left me." she whispered and by the time she was done tears were streaming down her face. Sara ran to her grandmother and wept into her shirt. When Dimitri walked up he was already in tears and only managed to say "I-i-i'm sorry Roza." Before he sank to the ground with sobs wracking his body.
They lowered my body into the ground and about half way through Dimitri ran off. Instead of staying at the funeral the picture was of Dimitri running. He ended up back in . He his rooms at the bar he had in there. He grabbed a bottle of Russian Vodka and began drinking it straight from the bottle. "STOP! Please just stop let me go back to Dimitri. He needs me." I beg. My uncle is gone though and in his place is Yeva. "Child you may go back soon. What you just saw was what is currently happening you have only been gone for two days. Hades managed to slow the time down here. Before you go you must know the history of my family. I am not truly Olena's mother we are related and I have cared for her like a mother but she is not my daughter. I am the goddess Hestia goddess of the hearth. Dimitri's mother is my younger sister and I have cared for her for a long time now. I am the firstborn of the titans Cronus and Rhea. Olena is Demeter goddess of the harvest. She thought she was in love with the ferryman of the dead Charon. That is how Dimitri and his sisters were born. They all lived on Earth because Olena had become the queen there. Charon and Olena ended up getting married but soon when ever I saw Olena she would have bruises all over her body. I became suspicious that Charon was abusing her so I began living with them. One day when Dimitri was 13 he and I went out for some ice cream, but when we came home we found Charon over Olena who was lying on the floor bleeding ichor the blood of the gods and bruises all over. Dimitri immediately knew what happened and beat his father out and kicked him out. Never came back. Dimitri for some reason was not born a god like his sister. He has the magic that you do but he is not yet a god. All of Dimitri's sisters are goddesses born by Charon except for Karo she is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Karo's true name is Persephone and she is married to Hades. That is Dimitri's family history. He only just learned everything when I yelled at him after you came back. He knows who you are to I had to tell him. Now that you know you may go save him from himself."
Immediately I closed my eyes and used my magic to bring myself to Dimitri. He sat on the floor by the bar with what looked like his third bottle of vodka. "Comrade put down the bottle lets get you to bed." I say gently while crouching down next to him. He looked at me with big sad brown eyes. "Oh my sweet Roza I know you aren't really here but I will do what you say cause thats what you would say if you were here." He slurred. He tried to stand but stumbled so I draped his arm over my shoulder and helped him. By helped him I mean I mostly carried him while he shuffled his feet. It was just about the worst thing I had ever done. A 5'7 women was not meant to carry a 6'7 drunk man. Some how I managed to get him to the bed and get him laying down. I changed his shirt because it reeked of vodka and had to pause a moment to stare at Dimitri's chest. He used to be built but not this built. He had a solid eight pack an man was it sexy. After I finally stopped staring at Dimitri I got a new shirt on him and used my magic to get some aspirin and a glass of water to put by his bed. I knew from past experiences Russian Vodka caused some pretty bad hangovers. After that was done I curled up on the couch in his room
When I woke up early the next morning there was a little girl who couldn't have been older than three years old curled up in my arms. "Who's baby did I steal in my sleep?" I thought to myself. I looked at the clock by Dimitri's bed and saw it was 6:00 in the morning so I just leaned back and waited for Dimitri to wake up. Barely five minutes later I fell back to sleep with the little girl still in my arms. Later I was woken up by Sonya slamming the door to Dimitri's room open and yelling "Dimka! Have you seen Rosie? She was gone when I woke up and we have searched everywhere for her!" Sonya began frantically looking around the room before her eyes landed on me. Sonya's eyes widened and she said "Dimka is it just me or is Roza laying on your couch with my daughter in her arms?" Dimitri flew up from his bed and stood there staring at me with wide eyes. After a few seconds he collapsed. I lifted the girl I now knew was named Rosie up and stood and hurried over to Dimitri. He had fainted. "Sonya get Olena and tell her to come help Dimitri." I said. Sonya rushed out of the room yelling "MAMA! MAMA! There is a ghost holding my daughter and Dimitri is unconscious and needs you help." I laughed and Rosie was startled awake, and she began to cry. "Oh you poor baby." I said and began to rock her. I started to sing a song my father used to sing to me when I was a little girl.
"To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying,
The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling,
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling"(Legolas's Song of the Sea)
By the end of my song Rosie had stopped crying. A hand suddenly grabbed my ankle making me jump about a foot in the air and land safely on Dimitri's bed. "It really is you. You didn't die." Dimitri said once I realised it was his hand that had been on my ankle. I set Rosie on the bed and sank to the floor next to him. He sat up and before I could even say anything he grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. I have no idea how long we were like that. Me practically sitting on his lap while he held on to me and kissed me like we had never kissed before. Finally I began to hear gasps from the doorway. I pulled back and saw my family standing there looking at me in shock all except Yeva. She just smirked.
"Hey guess what everybody I'm not dead."
