Daughter of Hades meets Mr. Frost ((ON HOLD))

Chapter Six

I furrowed my brow. Why would I need to collect a soul at the North Pole? I shrugged and shadow traveled to the exact pole, dead center. I fell straight down and would have smashed my face if I hadn't hovered inches over the ground. I sighed again and stood, unstrapping my scythe. I was in some sort of workshop, standing on top of a globe, for some reason. I jumped down, following the smell of death and the tingling in my fingertips. I happened across a room where a child was laying on a couch, very sick and coughing weakly. His fingers were blueish purple with frostbite. There was a group of people gathered around him. I floated over, ignoring the people, as they shouldn't have been able to see me. I reached out a hand and touched his forehead. This boy was special, too. He needed to live. He was essential to a plan, to the survival of the future. I sighed again and readied my scythe. I raised it high and someone yelled. I looked over, confused, before placing the end of the shaft on his forehead. His eyes shot open and he stared at me. "Are- are you here to kill me?"

I smile softly and shook my head. He couldn't see the smile, but whatever. "I was called here to release your soul from this world and send you to the Underworld."

His eyes widened in fright. "But- but I don't want to die."

"And you won't."

"What do you mean?"

"Stop talking. You need to preserve your strength. In rare cases, with special children and in people with certain fates, I am able to keep then alive. Now hush, and let me continue. There is nothing to be afraid of, and it will not hurt. You will wake up feeling better than ever." I gripped the shaft of my scythe and closed my eyes. I breathed in, and out. I heard loud noises, but a wall of shadows erupted out of the ground, separating us from the onlookers. My scythe lit up and I blew gently on the boy's eyes and his breathing slowed. His heart stopped for a millisecond before beating again with renewed vigor. He opened his eyes wider than before and I removed my scythe. "My work here is done," I whispered. I went to fade into the shadows but the boy reached out and grabbed my wrist. I paused and looked back at him.

"My name is Jamie. Thank you, Mr. Grim Reaper, sir."

I laughed lightly. "Oh, Jamie, I'm not the Grim Reaper, I think. And I'm not a boy. My name is Rebecca. How did you get frostbite in the first place?"

"Um, well," he fidgeted.

"Oh, it's fine. Just don't let it happen again. I may not be able to being you back a second time. I hope I never see you again until it's your time to go, and not even then. I only come to those in great pain. So I hope I never see you again, even when it is your time to go. And, next time, bundle up. You don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose." I tapped his nose lightly. "And trust me, he will. I've met him." I pried his fingers off my wrist and dissolved the wall of shadows. I melted into the darkness, but just before I was completely gone, a hand latched itself onto my forearm.

So people have been wanting me to update for a while, yada yada, but I really want to read manga now. Go check out Inkblazers.com to read some, I recommend Stray Dog or Gravston for your first one. Maybe I'll post a list of my favorites later.

Basically, you get a crappy pre-written chapter now because someone went to the trouble of PMing me and asking for an update. That took effort (idk if that was meant as sarcasm, I was out of it at the time, but seriously thank you for taking the time to do this).

I'm seriously thinking of discontinuing this story, I have absolutely no interest or plan for the end or anything. Maybe I'll give it away sometime in the future when my hiccups go away. Chapter seven is the last finished chapter, and chapter eight is in the (very slow) works, aka I'm totally blocked and bored with it.

I'll totally talk to anyone about giving it away, inbox/PM me.

If this was AO3 it would've been put up for adoption already.

Also, I'm taking a two-month posting hiatus from Wattpad so I can straighten out my grades and stop screwing things up when I decide to write RotG Vampire/Cyborg/Zombie AUs instead of doing homework.

Meaning, no more Balance, no more Vampire/Zombie/Cyborg AUs, no more Dark!Jack AUs, no more Creepypasta, no more writing contests (except the ones I'm entered in), no Spy AUs, no /siren/Ancient Greek AUs, no more crappy OC stories, Ask the Guardians if going on hold for a few weeks, Upcoming stories I didn't tell you about are coming to a halt, Sandy's Twin is being saved and taken down, NO MORE ANYTHING EXCEPT "Where Do We Go From Here" because that is my main story on FanFiction.

Sorry!

P.S. No, Ash, it isn't your fault it's bad, I just wrote this a long time ago and my writing has improved since then. It seems horrible in comparison now.

P.P.S. Rainbow and Ash, if you want to take the story I'll give it to you, you're both so into it. Talk to me, maybe I'll give you what I have so far and we each can write our own versions of it?

P.P.P.S. I literally just said I AM NOT GOING TO UPDATE AGAIN and now people are asking for updates ON THIS STORY WHICH I JUST SAID I AM NOT GOING TO UPDATE... Do you guys not read my A/Ns or something???
