    Hi I'm Persades! If you don't know who I am, I am disappointed in you. You should know about Hades' younger sister. Me! I have the power to persuade people to do anything. Ever heard of peer pressure, well that's me. Ever seen that really convincing car commercial, that's me working my powers. I'm sad that I don't get the regonization I deserve. I am the one who gets you out of the argument with your parents. I am the one who convinces them to get the puppy. But it's ok, because now you'll know about me and my story.

  It was a dreary day in the Underworld. More than usual. I walked down the streets of the people saying hello to the poor souls that were stuck down here. The streets looked like New York City, if you were wondering. "Hello Charlie," I said cheerfully. He just nodded in reply. Charlie was always negative, even when he was alive. Always complaining when he had everything. That's why down here, people are treated the same as they treated other people up there. I passed by by his wife, Char. "Buenos Diaz," I said as Char passed me. "Buenos Diaz," Char replied politely. She took spainish as a hobby in the afterlife. She had long flowing black hair, pale skin, and had green eyes. She was nice to everyone in the over world, so she had a nice apartment and gets to do whatever she wants. The people who were mean or ungrateful got to work for my big bro, the big guy himself Hades.

   I was almost to the castle. That was the place me, Hades, and sometimes Persone. You all know her story, right? Well basically she got kidnaped by my brother and ate some pomegranate, the food of the underworld and now she's stuck here for half the year. Yeah I know, Hades can be a jerk. Btw, don't die in the summer, that's when Persone leaves. He gets angry in the summer and is very judgmental. But Persone is a good friend. Believe it or not being the sister of the lord of the afterlife doesn't make you a lot of friends. So she's my best friend. Although she's chose to be 35 for the rest of existence, I choose to be 16.

   I guess I should describe how I look. I have beautiful brown flowing hair with the ends dyed pink, ocean blue eyes, and sun-kissed skin even though I have never been in the real
sun. I get a spray tan. Today I am wearing a gray sleeveless crop top, jean shorts, and consverse. "Hey Persone!" I yelled at her from across the room. I made her drop her phone as she looked up. I guess I should have warned her about the hair change, yesterday I had bright blue hair. "What on Earth did you do to your hair?!" She shouted. When she realized I looked scared she said, "oh honey I meant I love it! I hated the blue bob you had for months." This is why I love Persone, she's understanding. She's like the cool older sister. Well I guess she is because she's married to Hades. "I know right? This is the new trend up above. I checked on my mortal phone." I always get the newest phones. "I miss the world above. I mean I love it here with you and Hades but I miss my mother and the flowers and my friends. I wish that you could come with me when I go back up in a month." At that moment I had an idea! "Why don't I come with you?" I said hoping for a yes. I've always wanted to go up. "Why not! I've always wanted you to get a taste of the mortal world. We can get you an apartment and some money," Persone said thinking out loud. Yes! "We will ask Hades at dinner," she said finally. And my heart dropped. He would never let me go up, not since the last time.
