Before the Mermaid, the Vamp and the Fairy

Serene and Heaven

Stano laughed at me as my new tattoo was written on my arm right by my shoulder blade, its about the size of a slice of bread and it had my age and name in one big bubble. Then it has two vipers on each sides with their fangs exposed, the ink he used to do my age was magic, he said that it changes as I age so it is always accurate. It stung like he was pouring acid on me and then it was freezing cold seconds later. After about thirty minuites of this he stopped and wiped the extra ink off.

There all done, Next!!!!

He yelled, as Stano pushed me forwards hard as the next prisoner was up for their tattoo. We walked down a paved road to a darker part of the Underworld, after about ten minuests of walking Stano stopped me and said to be still so he could remove the blindfold. Then he said bluntly.

Were here so you can get a glimpse at heaven before I send you to hell.

When he removed the blindfold my eyes blurred from all the light and I doubled over, then after my eyes adjusted I saw paradise. The grass was endless and the houses were marble with giant pillars. Then there were people running around, laughing, singing or just dancing in the lawns. I was captured by its beauty the Underworld didn't seem as bad when I looked at this place. I sighed and Stano sneered at me in disgust.

Times up pretty boy, the only reason you saw this place was because were forced to show every prisoner what they missed out on.

He poked me and told me to move on, but I stood and looked at the trees that sprouted everywhere and the birds songs that came from them. Then I heard a yell coming from the paradise in front of me.

Cupid!!!

I looked harder and saw a beautiful girl running towards me. She had brown hair that flowed past her shoulders and chocolate eyes that sparkled in the light. She wore a white toga with a golden clasp and a flower in her hair. How does she know my name I have never met her before. I squinted trying to see clearer and tried to walk towards her.

Hey Cupid!

She yelled again as she stopped next to me and beamed up at me. She looked at me and then walked behind me to look at Stano.

Should I know you?

I said while she came back to where I could see her and she frowned with pouty eyes.

How don't you remember me! I helped you out when you were 154. I'm your half sister for Zeus's sake!

Half sister? Ohh right Serene. Hades and my mom huh?

She sighed and looked at me and rolled her eyes.

Do you want my help or not.

Yeah I could use some help I guess...

She sighed and looked back at Stano.

Go! Now! You are released from duty.

Stano stared at her and laughed, then pointed his poker at her.

Who are you to tell me what to do little girl. go back to your house and stay out of Hades business.

She stared at him and smiled a wicked smile that spelled evil.

I don't know little man, my father might not like you talking to me this way.

Serene said and pouted a little towards the imp.

Stano shrugged and laughed.

Who's your father then?

I AM!

Said a voice behind me, that I immediately recognize as Hades.

Stano you have crossed the line, this is not only my daughter but also the successor of your home. You will pay for the treatment you have given her.

Stano froze and turned to see his boss staring down at him and a harpy right on his shoulder.

Shall I take him to the lava pits master?

Said the harpy with a sinister laugh.

Yes I think Aleous has been awaiting this day a long time.

Noooooooo!

Screamed Stano as the harpy dragged him off , Stano desperately tried to grab anything to slow his fate from arriving any sooner. After Stano disappeared from sight Hades turned to look at me and Selene.

Dad please let Cupid go! I don't exactly love having him as a half brother but I know for a fact that Persephone is not in love with Cupid.

Hades looked at his daughter then at me then back at her. Selene give a half smile to her dad and gave him a look.

Ok but you,

He said looking at me.

Never again enter my domain or I'll spear you to a rock with your own arrow for all eternity. Got it!

I smiled a snobbish smile.

Won't even try Hades, by the way tell Aleous I say thanks for the wicked tat.

My bindings fell off and I sprouted wings. I flew up and out of the Underworld my mind spinning. So much had happened and I realized I had never been so happy to fly in my entire life. I mean come on, who else has been to hell and back!

************************************************

I finally finished writing the part on Hades and Persephone . I might write a chapter or two more then I will be closing this book. Keep on Wattpading! Also I used a direct quote from Mermaids and the Vampires that Love Them! I am also now editing my writing to where the parts where people are speaking are in italics.
