Ch.2 Angels among us

Octavian was not happy; he had been so close to his prize just to have it taken away by that damn brat! It had been the perfect situation to finally get what he wanted, he had even made sure that no one else was around, so where had that kid come from?

He hit the wall in front of him in frustration. The wall was covered with photos, many of them older than the rest contained a beautiful woman with long dark hair, dark but shinning eyes and a breath-taking smile, everything about her was flawless.

Maria di Angelo had been a gift from heaven, a true angel on Earth. She had been a famous actress and had started her career as a model.

Octavian looked at the photos longingly and as he stared at each his eyes began to wonder along the wall, there among photos were magazine and newspaper clippings with headlines reading:

Maria di Angelo Pregnant!

And

Di Angelo family out on the town.

All had great shots of Maria always smiling and happy and just so full of joy for life.

The next news article wasn't so happy; it was a photo of Maria next to that of a funeral service with mourners standing by a casket with flowers placed on top, the headline read:

A life gone too soon, but not soon forgotten: Maria di Angelo, with the angels now.

Next to that were photos that he himself had taken at the service; they had started with the various framed pictures of Maria that family and friends had brought for the memorial, others were of the grave that has an angel carved onto it, but slowly the photos began to drift away from the grave and service to focus on something new, something almost as beautiful as Maria had been.

Nico di Angelo age five holding his father's hand as he shed tears for the mother he had lost. Despite the tears he shed he still held the promise of the same beauty that his mother had had, one day he would have the same dark hair and eyes and angelic beauty that she had had. Even if Maria was gone Nico still remained and it was plain to see that he would be a beauty too.

After that all photos were of Nico over the past few years, he turned eight soon, but give it another ten years or so and he might even surpass his mother in looks, he already showed her joy for life.

Octavian looked now at the most recent photo on the wall, it was of Nico as he stood with his security guard looking longingly at the very park that Octavian had encountered him in today, that had been when he had formulated the plan to lay in wait in that park for the perfect opportunity to present itself and it had.

It had been perfect, so why did that brat have to come along and ruin it?! Octavian had known it was a lie when the kid had said that they were friends and were supposed to be playing together but he couldn't say that… Damn that kid for getting in his way!

…

Nico sat in a chair by the window kicking his feet as he looked outside clearly bored with being cooped up in his dad's office building all day.

He was thinking back to the other day when he had played with the other kids at the park and the fun he had had.

Thanatos sat nearby at his desk filling out his report, he looked over to Nico knowing the boy would rather be somewhere else having fun and just being a kid. He wanted to help him but aside from a small box containing toys and books kept at the office for Nico to pass the time he didn't have anything else and Nico wasn't interested in those today. As Thanatos sat and pondered how he could cheer Nico up his phone started ringing, he reached over and picked it up.

"Hello, Thanatos speaking."

"Hello, this is Apollo Solace, Will's father, we met the other day at the park?" came the caller on the other end of the line.

"Yes, hello. I'm guessing that Will would like to schedule one of those play dates we spoke of?" Thanatos smiled as he looked up to see Nico sitting still now watching him as he spoke on the phone.

Apollo let out a short laugh.

"You guessed right, anyway I know that you probably have a lot of work to do, so what do you say to me taking the boys for the afternoon, and have him back after dinner? Will hasn't stopped talking about all the things he has planned for spending time with his new friend."

Now it was Thanatos' turn to let out a small chuckle as he saw the hopeful look on Nico's face as he waited to see what Thanatos was talking about after he had mentioned the play date.

"He's not the only one, let me talk to Nico's father and I'll get back to you, but it sounds like a great plan." As he hung up the phone Nico came over to stand beside his desk, Thanatos signaled him to stay quiet while he called Hades to tell him about the phone call.

"Hello sir, you remember that new friend Nico made the other day? Well his father called offering to take the boys for the day, it seems young Will is eager to spend time together again and I think it would make Nico very happy as well." he smiled and winked at Nico.

"Well if you think it would be a good idea, I suppose it would be alright, I trust your judgment. Let me talk to Nico for a moment." Hades said on the other end of the line.

Thanatos passed the phone over to Nico so that he could talk to his dad.

"Hello?" Nico said into the phone not sure what his dad was going to say.

"Nico I want you to be good when you are with Will and his father, and if all goes well maybe we can make this into a regular event okay?"

Nico shook his head happily then remembered that his dad couldn't see him so he spoke this time so his dad would know he understood.

"Okay! I promise!"

Hades laughed.

"Alright, put Thanatos back on."

Nico handed the phone back to Thanatos as he bounced on the balls of his feet while he waited.

"Okay I'll call them right back and let them know."

With that he hung up the phone again and called Apollo back to let him know that the play date was good to go.

…

About twenty minutes later Apollo and Will pulled up outside of the office building, Nico and Thanatos waited by the main doors with Nico barely able to contain his excitement.

Apollo got out and walked over to shake hands with Thanatos as Will opened the door and waved Nico over.

"The kids sure are happy about this." Apollo said with a smile as he watched Nico jump into the back seat next to Will and excitedly talk about what they were going to do today.

"Nico hasn't really had the chance to do things like this so he was really happy when you called."

"That's a shame; kids should be able to have fun while they're young." Apollo said as he watched the kids laughing in the back seat.

The two adults walked over to the car, Apollo went over to the driver's side and got in while Thanatos walked over to the window to talk to Nico.

"Now remember what your father said, be good for Wills father and maybe this can become a regular thing." he made a show of pulling out his datebook from his jacket pocket and said, "I do believe that someone has a birthday coming up, maybe we could do something with that." he looked at the mirror where Apollo was suppressing a laugh as he watched the boys in the back seat.

"Can Will and his dad come to my birthday? Please please please?" Nico said looking at Thanatos.

"Can we dad, can we please?" Will stood on his seat to ask his dad.

"I don't see why not, after all he did say please." Apollo said and Thanatos agreed.

"I'm sure we could make the arrangements."

"Yay!" both boys were very pleased.

"Alright now buckle up back there and we'll be on our way." Said Apollo as he buckled himself in and started the car.

So the thing about having to write creepy people is that you have to actually come up with the creepy shit they do or say or think and it makes my skin crawl at times to the point that I kinda want to bathe in purel or something you know?

Please let me know what you think!
