Taming Death

Hall of Judgement

I found myself in a black tunnel which sent creeps along my whole body. I walked almost hesitantly towards the end where light was beaming. There, I saw a ferry. Huh, a ferry?

There was a huge lake which seemed endless. I nudged the ferry man with my hands.

"Hop in," he said without me speaking a word.

I shrugged and went in it. It held about one hundred people, of all age.

When the ferry stopped, we were ordered to get out so we did it.

We went in a huge hall. The hall was embedded with precious stones and we all stared with awe. We went in a line and I was among the last ones to be judged.

"Welcome to the hall of judgement. We are going to judge you based on your good works and sins." One of the three man who sat on thrones said.

I was casually scratching my neck when I heard something that froze me.

"Jonathan Campbell." I snapped my head so hard that I swear I got whiplash.

"Jon, I yelled while running towards him."

"Jen?" He shouted back, shocked and I ran in his arms.

"I - I heard the news about you baby. I was on the road and I had an accident." I was crying.

"This is all my fault," he cried.

"Indeed," we looked towards the second man in the throne.

"Jonathan, you have done so many sins that we are thinking to send you to Tartarus."

"No," I yelled. "Jon is such a good man. I mean was." I argued.

The man laughed and this was sending me on edge.

"Dear lady, how can someone be so naive?" He chuckled.

He moved his hand towards a huge screen and a video started playing. I saw little Jon and he saw his mother getting killed. He was scared and I now held the actual Jon's hand and squeezed it.

It fast forwarded to when I met him. We were in college and he was eying me disgustingly. His friends put a bet to see if he could screw me and he accepted.

My jaw slacked open. I then saw when he was cheating on me with my best friends Kate and Prisca. I shut my eyes but the words on the video haunted me.

Prisca was my personal secretary, we'll was more like a friend to me and Kate was the intern who had been working under my guidance. Both held a very high place in my eyes and I actually felt disgusted with the scene displayed in front of me.

Kate was giving Jon a blowjob and Prisca was kissing him. The video fast forwarded to many more incidents when I was talking to Kate and Jon just passed by, rubbing his hand on her butt or smacking her slightly. Ouch.

I slapped him across the face. Hard!

"How could you Jon?" He seemed ashamed but did no efforts whatsoever to justify his deeds. Guards were pushing him, to Tartarus I guess. I was sobbing hysterically.

"Jenifer Willow. You have done 88% good works. I am really surprised to say that you are the first soul so good. We were hoping to send you to Elysium but I guess that's where people above 50% goods reside. But however, I feel like you should be going to Lord Hades' castle. Besides, you died way too early that you were supposed to." The third man said in a gruff voice.

Some guards held me by my hands, rather harshly might I add, and started pulling me. Seriously, I know I died but that doesn't mean that they should treat me like crap. Assholes!

Mist enveloped us and it was thick. I guess we were travelling. When the mist disappeared, I held my head to stop the dizziness which followed.

"Master," the guard who brought me bowed.

The light was dim and I couldn't see the man who was standing's face. He wore a pitch black flowing cape.

The guard pushed me and instead of bowing I lost my balance and fell at the feet of the man. I lifted my head and gasped. The man was so handsome that I almost choked on my spit.

He had emerald green eyes which seemed to glow and pitch black hair. His jaw seemed to have been cut with a blade, that's how sharp it was. His lips were pink and he was S-E-X-Y !

Don't let me start on his freaking body. He had the body of a Greek God. Shiiiiiiit! What if he was a.. I stopped my thoughts and gulped hard.

"King," the guard started. "This soul here is a good soul. She has committed 88% of good deeds and she is a first. The hall of judgement suggested that she works with you so she'll make a very loyal servant." The Greek God stopped him by showing his hand and dismissed him.

"88% of good . Impressive!" His voice was deep and husky.

"I'm Hades," he continued. "Do you know who am I?"

"N-no." I stuttered, a very bad habit of mine when I'm nervous.

"I'm the Lord of the underworld." My eyes almost bulged out of my sockets. "We need to work on your knowledge! Do you know anything about the Greek mythology?"

"Some things yeah."

"Such as?"

"Zeus, Tartarus, Elysium, Poseidon, Ares and some other Gods."

"Good," he said. "Anvy." He yelled and I almost fell back down.

A black mist appeared leaving a girl about my age who was impeccably beautiful.

"You are to take her in the room next to mine. Ensure that she is comfortable and you are her maid as from now."

"Yes King." She bowed.

The update took very long I know.. But I have another account with three published books and I also forgot this one's password.

Anyway I'll try to update sooner.

Love you all.
