Into The Abyss

"Well, yes, since I am the God of Death also known as Thanatos."

There were series of thoughts going through my head, right then, while he was enjoying my change of expressions. I didn't know what to do with that information, except I couldn't really kick him out of my place and shout, 'hey, a guy high on cannabis got inside my house and called himself God.'

So, I did what I didn't think.

I spilled the whole damn coffee on him.

Both of our eyes widened as the mug with the damn coffee went straight towards his body. I half-expected him to stop the mug in the mid-air using his godly powers but... let's just say that he wouldn't wear that white shirt anymore or able to hear anything for a solid minute.

"Holy He—"

Then, I ran like hell—no pun intended.

I screamed and, very surprisingly, didn't fall on the way to my bedroom. I didn't even want to look back and check that man—or God or whateverthefuck if he is following me.

Literally, the only time I didn't have my pepper spray with me was the time when a God is in my house.

"Eve Alvarez—"

"The power of Christ compels you—you psychopath!" I yelled and slammed my bedroom door shut.

You know those moments when you know you should have listened more carefully to the exorcism going on in a horror movie but you didn't? Yup, that is exactly not those moments because I literally screamed out Christ's name in front of a supposedly Greek God when I knew Greek gods went M.I.A. as Christianity grew.

Also, I just called him a psychopath which, I am pretty sure, was offending to him.

Then, she pulled me back to reality—sometimes I wanted to ask her name but her face would be better as I can sla—

I coughed loudly—so hard too that I felt my insides would just come out this instant. I felt pain—worse than my five-day period cramps. I didn't know whether to curse at being a human or a woman but, nevertheless, chose those people who topped classes with unbelievable scores yet couldn't come up with a vaccine.

Yes, yes. I know I am a terrible person.

As I scrambled towards my medicine box and water bottle, trying to forget the death chanting in my head, there were three knocks on my door.

"Eve?" Thanatos called out. "Open the door."

"Oh, now you knock?" I retorted. But, since I was still coughing, it came out: "Ka-kah kao kaock?"

Finally, I took heavy gulps of water and went underneath my blankets as I felt my whole body burning up.

On a very serious note, do not take this virus as fun and definitely, do not think that it is nothing. If it was, I would not be on verge of death and having the God of Death in front of my door.

"You are more stubborn than Hades, himself," I heard him grumble.

I groaned. "You came here to take me to Hell or the Underworld, didn't you?"

"First, the Tartarus and it is in the Underworld," He corrected and I almost wanted to kick him, ignoring I was bed-ridden, right then. "Second, you are not going to die today."

"Tomorrow?"

"...depends," He answered my question. In a flash of black and shadows twirling around near my bed, I looked up and found him staring at me with an unimpressed look.
