In the morning I woke up in Hades' arms. I was startled at first, but soon calmed down. He said that he was only going to stay for a short while, so that I was not bothered by him. He and I had talked plenty last night, and he asked me to actually live in the underworld with him and his wife Persephone. He asked me if I knew of the Greek stories and I told him that I knew two stories. One being the story of his wife, and the other about the gorgon Medusa. He said that Persephone had always wanted to become a mother, and he also told me that I would get my own room in the palace.

"Can I have a room in the same wing with you and mom?" I asked, hopeful. "And will I be able to see Raven in the underworld?"

Hades opened his mouth to answer, but was cut off by a sharp rapping at the door. I answered the door, surprised to find Amber standing there with an excited grin on her face.

"Guess what, Luna?" she started, continuing before I was given the chance to answer. "We have a new demigod working here! His name is Light Yagami, and he came all this way from Japan! He looks like a son of Zeus." She gave a small sigh. "The reason the others and I think that is because he has the same electric-blue eyes as Zeus himself. I talked to him on his first day because I know how it feels to be new and not have anyone to talk to, you know? He told me that he would rather study for the exams he still has to take in Japan, even though he is currently in the U.S." She paused for a moment, thinking to herself. "I managed to get some information on Light. He is seventeen, a bored high school student, and he wants to get in to a good school. That was all he would tell me. However, there is one thing that I noticed. . ." She began to whisper. "He is always writing in a book that looks really cool, and he always has an apple with him. He also talks to himself a lot but not out loud- he whispers- but I have really good hearing. Sometimes I hear someone laughing in this rough voice and I can't seem to find whoever it is. I wish I could though." Amber looked upset for a moment. "One time I saw him throw in an apple in the air and it did not come down! It was like he knew someone was going to catch it but I don't know what to think anymore. . .

"I was talking to Father and he told me to talk to him in his cabin and get him to tell me what I wanted to hear. Apparently, I am very cunning like that." I could not help but to stare at the girl before me. Just how much information did she have to tell me anyway?

Amber's bucket-full of information was quickly cut off by a long, loud scream. We all jumped and froze. Someone was screaming their head off, claiming that someone else had just died.

That day we had three demigod deaths. In Greek culture, you had a rap that you put the body in and then the body was burned. We did just that.Light looked very calm at the ceremonies. It was like he knew something was going to happen. Just then a huge lightning bolt appeared above his head, startling everyone. Instantly, we all knew he was a son of Zeus and it was just a matter of time before he was going to be claimed.

That night, Father and I went to the Zeus cabin and we talked to Light.

"I have to leave," he said. "If not, I will be in some big trouble. What if someone found out that I was behind the three demigod deaths?"

I stared at him, letting the realization dawn on me, and suddenly screamed at the top of my lungs. "If you leave, I will tell everyone that it was you that killed those three, and I will make it so that you can't get in to the underworld!"

He then gave a sinister laugh, sounding as though he was mad. "Those who use the death note can't go to heaven or hell so that won't matter to me."

I started to tear up and cry. "I feel this connection with you. It's like we belong together, and if you leave I will be miserable."

His expression made him look as though I had just asked him if he wore ladies underwear. "I thought that it was just because you talked to me, but I feel the same."

"Don't leave me! I won't make it without you."

Then he leaned forward and kissed me. Hades cleared his throat, alerting us to his presence, and that was when we realized that we were in big trouble. He looked at me, his eyebrows furrowed.

"I was the one that kissed him, so don't yell at him, please!" I stepped in front of Light to protect him. "If you rough him up, there will be a war. I'll gladly start it." My fangs extended and my voice changed to the one that I did not know, and Hades looked like he was ready for war. "Go away and let me deal with this on my own. . . And tell Persephone that I will be coming, so thank you and goodbye."

When Light found out that I was a vampire, he stared with wide eyes. "Change me so that we can be together forever, please?"

"It will hurt and it will burn like you are in a fire, and I won't be able to help you," I warned. Light ignored my warning, and sat on the bed showing me his neck. I sighed. "If you want, I could go get one of the Apollo kids to bring some ice for you afterward?"

"No!" he shouted, causing me to jump. "I don't want to put you in danger." He calmed down. "All I need you to do is just bite me and hold my hand."

"Yes you are right."I bit down on his neck and savored the sweet flavor of his blood. It had the faintest taste of apples. I wanted to have more, but I knew that I had to stop soon. When I had enough, and I knew that he was full of venom, I stopped. He started to cry like it really hurt. All I could say was that I was so sorry. I held him close to me until he went limb. It was like he died, but I knew better. I held him until I fell asleep.

He woke me up when I felt him kiss me. "Let's hunt," he said.

It was like taking care of a baby. He was cute before the change, but now he was gorgeous. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Hades saw the two of us together and he did not like it. Hades called Light and I into my cabin to talk.

"What in the world is going on here?" he asked.

Light and I looked at each other, thinking who was going to open their mouth first. Well, I was the stupid one.

"I changed him because I love him and he wanted to be a vampire."

"What are you teaching him to hunt? Animals or humans?" he asked, sounding like a unique mixture of angry and concerned.

"Animals; he is getting good at it, so what should it matter to you?"

"What will his family think?"

Light finally decided to speak up. "They think that I am dead, so there's no problem there, and would the two of you stop talking about me like I am not here because I am here! And don't I get to say anything about this? So what if I love Luna? I know that she loves me, and I wanted to do this in my cabin but here I go." He got down onto one knee. "Luna, will you marry me?"

My breath caught in my throat. "Yes," I said when I found my voice.

Hades grew very angry. "Wait; hold on a minute, you are supposed to ask for my permission! She is my only child, so you need to have my blessing to get married."

I started to cry and then ran out ofthe cabin. I went to Light's cabin and was trying to calm down. Before I changed,Light came after me to see if I was okay. He found me in his cabin, and saw that I was really miserable.

"What is wrong honey? What is the matter?"

I fell into his arms and bawled. After a while, I had calmed down enough to speak. "I am getting married and my mom is not here to see this!" That was when I started to change and Light did not know what to do. He settled for what he thought to be correct, and he let me bite him. It was different form the first time when I had changed him into a vampire. It was much gentler than before. After a while I was back to myself.

I looked at Light and gasped. He looked bad, he was as white as bone and he must have been dizzy. He collapsed on to his bed. I was scared and I was thinking about what I could do to help him. I realized he let me bite him, so I must have taken so much blood. I felt horrible.

I smelled the scent of human blood, so I went to see who it was. To my surprise, I discovered a guy bleeding to death outside, so I was like 'okay this is cool'. I pulled the guy into our cabin and I made Light drink from him. It was not long before Light was okay again.

"What happened here? Why is L here and why is he on top of me?" he asked, stunned.

I thought for a moment. "Well, he was lying on our doorstep dying and we just finished the job." I gave a nervous laugh. "Let's get rid of the body."

"What did my blood taste like to you?"

"The first or the second time?" I asked.

He laughed. "Both."

"The first time it tasted like apples, and then the other time it tasted like love. I know it sounds weird but that is just what I taste. . . Do you want to try mine? I know that you are only a newborn, but I think that you might like it."

He didn't know what to do but I started to kiss him and hug him. That time I felt him bite my neck. He was trying to keep it in his mouth, and I felt the blood oozing out of the wound. He was trying to keep it from dripping onto the floor. I soon started to feel weak and dizzy. I was thinking about how I just wanted it all to end. I started to cry and Light let go of me. He then proceeded to hold me, lifting me onto the bed so that he could lay me down. Once I was on the bed, he sat in the corner and stared at me. Then I passed out from lack of blood, but I don't know what happened then.

I woke up three hours later to find him still staring at me to make sure that I was still alive. He looked as though he had been crying.

"I am so sorry, I didn't know that I took that much blood from you, honey, so don't be mad at me please," Light said.

"I am not mad at you, sweetie," I assured him. "I figured something like this was going to happen."

Suddenly, Light grew mad. He didn't hit me; he just became frustrated because he was still so new. He got mad and he started to yell.

"I could have killed you! What would I have done then, tell me?"

I just hugged him. "Shh, it's okay, honey, I'm the one that is sorry. I should have said something the minute that I felt dizzy, okay? I am the one that you should be mad at, not yourself."

"Do you want to know what your blood tasted like to me?" he suddenly asked.

"Sure," I said.

"It tasted like candy apples and hope. I know that sounds weird, but that is what I tasted."

I was a little shocked, but I figured that was what it tasted like. Just then the dinner horn sounded. Light and I stood up to leave. At dinner Light and I made the announcement that we were getting married.

Zeus showed up and he didn't look happy
