I'll See You In Elysium
Here's chapter two! Sorry it took so long, I've been at camp and stuff. Anyone know why my computer might crash Itunes whenever I click on the ipod icon when the Ipod is connected? We're doing a system restore and backup.
I just put up another chapter for my Inkheart story, Why He Couldn't Look At Her, so be sure to check that out. And I've been lost in my music and ipod and stuff.
Enough of my chitter-chatter, let's read (and review!)
"Beckendorf?" Bianca asked. Yep. That was definitely Bianca Di Angelo. She had the same wavy dark hair, dark eyes, and face. But she was half-transparent, which meant that I wasn't completely dead yet. I nodded.
"Bianca. Glad you made it to Elysium too," I replied. She gave a grudging smile, but it faded. We continued along the path.
"It was my Father's doing. Sometimes I hate having my dad be the god of the underworld. I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but it's the truth. Anyways, glad you're here, Beckendorf," she said, giving a small smile and looking back up. "But why are you here, anyways? Did you get a stupid quest too?" I flipped my hair back from my eyes.
"Not exactly. Percy and I were going to blow up a ship. It worked in the end, but I didn't make it out. Percy did though," I replied with a half-hearted shrug. Personally, I didn't really care that much that I was dead. Everything ahs it's time, and I guess mine ran out. I kept looking at the ground. "Hey… what about Nico? Is he okay? Haven't seen him in a couple of weeks." Nico hadn't been around for a couple of weeks, so I was just hoping something didn't happen to him… She laughed.
"He's fine. But Dad is really mad at him for some stuff…" Her voice trailed off. "But I guess that doesn't matter that much. We've got a war to worry about. But how's everything up at the surface? Because I've heard some very odd things down here." I took a moment and we stopped, leaning against a black fence-post. It probably belonged to some dead farmer or something, but I didn't really want to find out.
"Not too good, actually. We're losing by a landslide. Unless we have a breakthrough, then it's about a one in a million chance that we'll even get close to winning," I admitted. Bianca sighed.
"Well, I know that Hades obviously has no intention of helping, as he's so hardheaded. And there's no way anyone could even get him off his throne," she said. Then she suddenly tapped my arm after a moment of silence.
So how was it?
