To Love a Reaper

Chapter Seven

     While Diana had been with her brother, she had been happy, as; although, she needed to leave, she was somewhat able to enjoy a perfect, & First Time Halloween, as; she had gone Trick-Or-Treating, with her brother; as, they had gotten a load of candy, & Diana had seen a plethora of Halloween Activities' to do, while she had done them all, even winning The Costume Contest, & going through a haunted maze; which amazed her, as, she hadn't ever seen or experienced any type of holiday; such as Halloween, until now. While they had came back to The Underworld at the stroke of Midnight, when; it was October the 1rst, Hades had smiled, asking, "well; Diana, how was your first Halloween?" "It was amazing!"  "I even saw a coven of real witches'!" Diana exclaimed happily. "Well, that's good, just be careful of The Witch Coven called The Dark Ones', because; they summon up spirits' that are very vengeful." "Never join the coven!" Hades warned his daughter, while she said, "yes father." While telling her family of her adventures' that night; & showing them the candy she had collected, from Trick-Or-Treating, Persephone was happy, while asking Diana about the witches' she encountered, while explaining that she needed to be careful, & never use Dark Magic. While telling her family about everything, they were happy, as; they had known that Diana was safe. While the next day had came, Pluto woke his sister, while showing her how to teleport, as; they had wound up in Mexico, where people were celebrating The Day of The Dead, in November. While seeing the decorations', alters' for Dead People, & other things', Diana had asked her brother, "where are we?" "And why are we in the cemetery, where everyone is happy, instead of sad?" "Well, first off; everyone in This Country, is celebrating an Ancient Celebration called The Day of The Dead, & secondly, we're in a country called Mexico." "Also, we're here to make sure all the souls' that passed on, meet their loved ones', & relatives', before; the holiday is over, which is when; we guide the souls' of the deceased, back to their graves' to rest, until next year; when the cycle goes on again." Pluto told his sister, while she was told to watch out for ghosts' & certain evil spirits', such as La Llorona (The Weeping Woman), as, she had been known to drown people, who were children, & teens'; & that, if she saw you, she would let out a demonic blood curdling screech; that would "pierce" ones' very soul, as well as, the peace that the night, had to offer. While seeing his sister's frightened expression, Pluto told his sister, that if she heard weeping to run, & don't look back; for, it was The Weeping Woman, but; that unlike her, most spirits' that came out, that night, were calm, welcoming, & peaceful spirits'. While asking if she could enjoy the celebration, Diana was delighted, when her brother said yes, & that, they would be staying in Mexico, until The Day of The Dead was over, while pointing to a tent, by the local, old, cemetery. While she enjoyed the festivities' of The Day of The Dead, watching every soul go to their family, go to the alters'; that had offerings' to the deceased, Diana had enjoyed herself, as; no one had noticed nor acknowledged her presence, as, they were busy welcoming The Deceased as their Honored & Distinguished Guests', back from the grave. While enjoying herself, Diana had a text from an unknown number, & while she was about to delete it, the text said: be careful, do not go into the forest, stay in the cemetery; for La Llorona or Weeping Woman is out for revenge. While calling her brother, Diana told Pluto about the text, while he said, "yes, stay away from the forest, The Weeping Woman is out tonight, & in order for you to be safe, spend the next week in the abandoned hospital, where a Spirit of a Nurse, who killed herself, due to her lover forsaking her, would take care of her; as, she did with most people." "Okay." Diana said in a shaky, almost stuttering voice.
