I am so sorry, it's not even funny. Seriously. I mean, I haven't updated in forever, but anyway. Thanks heaps to all you reviewers, favs and followers. Means a lot :D Also I don't know how it happened but THIS STORY WAS ADDED INTO A COMMUNITY CALLED THE BEST AU'S AND I AM SO HAPPY. Disclaimer: I own nothing. Unfortunately.
Wait, KitKatWei just pointed out that Bianca was reborn. I am an idiot. Never mind. Whatever. THIS IS AN AU GUYS.
BIANCA
Bianca had to admit that she absolutely adored Elysium.
The mortal world had been her home her entire life, and everyone she'd met before were still there, but Elysium was literally paradise. Bianca could do whatever, hang out with whoever...it was amazing. She'd heard many things about the Underworld, but not that the only homes in Elysium were mansions and they all came equipped with pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, king size beds and arcade rooms. It was perfect.
But sometimes, Bianca couldn't help but miss her little brother Nico, as well as her sisters in the Hunt. She'd only been a Hunter of Artemis for a few weeks, but it had been the best few weeks of her life. She'd finally been free of responsibility, and she'd finally had a family. She missed everyone, really, but she thought constantly of Percy and Annabeth. She hadn't known them for long, but they had been part of her introduction into the mythological world - the world behind the Mist. Bianca owed everything to them, and she wondered how they were doing...if they were even alive. She knew demigods lived a dangerous life, and that they often died young, but she often found herself hoping that Percy and Annabeth especially were still safe, still fighting, still going strong.
Those hopes were partly dashed when she bumped into two familiar figures.
Even after all this time, she recognized that black hair and those sea-green eyes, and the curly blonde hair and gray eyes that seemed to be analyzing everything. Though both looked several years older than she remembered them as being, she still placed them in a second.
"Percy? Annabeth?" Bianca said incredulously.
Percy's eyes momentarily widened as he recognized her. "Bianca!" he exclaimed. "How-how are you doing?"
"Great," Bianca said honestly. "Elysium is the best."
"It really is," Annabeth agreed.
Then the full implications of Percy and Annabeth being in Elysium hit Bianca. "Wait, are you two here for a quest? Or a mission? Or..." She trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence.
"Yes, Bianca," Percy said gently. "We're dead. You can say it." He grinned suddenly. "But hey, being dead is cool. Even if I do miss people to pieces sometimes."
Annabeth smacked his arm. "Percy! There are probably people mourning us right now!"
"Yeah, but we're in Elysium," Percy said, rolling his eyes.
Annabeth sighed and turned to Bianca. "But really, it's good to see you here," she said sincerely. "I'm glad that you're happy."
Bianca smiled. Equally sincerely, she replied, "Thanks. And I'm glad you're happy, too."
Annabeth nodded. "It's nice to finally have peace after a lifetime of war."
Bianca had to agree with that statement. Demigods fought so hard, and for so long. Elysium was paradise in more ways than one.
"I heard some awesome dudes are around here," Percy said, effectively changing the subject. "Bianca, have you met any of the heroes yet?"
Bianca beamed. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "They're all great, not stuck up like I thought they'd be. I'll take you to see them, if you want."
Annabeth's eyes gleamed. "Of course!" she said.
Bianca grinned and made a beckoning motion as she started walking. As the two demigods fell into step behind her, she marveled at how amazing it was to finally be at peace with her thoughts of Percy and Annabeth.
Finally, everything was alright again.
Thoughts?
