History Isn't Always In The Past.

Chill Bill

A/N: I've been toying with this idea for a while and finally decided to put it in text. I hope its not too gosh darn awful, but it is just a creative image in my head. Enjoy xx

Persephone:

I don't fully know how you expect me to introduce myself, what more is there to say, I'm the queen of the underworld, I'm thousands of years old in the body of an eighteen year old, as I have been for quite some time. Hades still has my heart and he always will. 

I do have to say though, I have seen the world go to some strange places but the modern times of late have just been inexplicably bizarre.  I've seen technology evolve from nothing into something great. Its far easier to keep in contact with everyone else in the mythology spectrum now, thats for sure. They all walk the same earth as me, living in similar disguises.

But back to the situation at hand, I've been in the same dead end town now for a few years and how boring is it? Well it was boring until recently when Hades fucked up and "accidentally" spilled lost souls into the world... (If you're reading this, nice one, dick-face. Reeeaaaal nice). So I'm not entirely sure how long my cover will remain. I have been kicking ass in the shadows as per usual but now the shadows are in the light of day, disguised in human hosts, making it real hard to find them... if you don't know what you're looking for of course.

My whole time here, I haven't been the most popular but I think I came close to being the most hated at school. I have a temper more fiery than the flames that burn in parts of the underworld and it was hard to maintain it at a "Hormonal teenager" level, but somehow I got through without killing anyone, so that's a start. We haven't been out of school for too long but somehow, I see the kids from there everywhere I go.

"For fucks sakes are you even alive?" Christine, my newly acquainted friend is next to me, waving her hand dangerously close to my face.

"My apologies, Its been a long few days..." I smiled sheepishly at her, to which she laughed, more like cackled but hey, each to their own.

"Yeah, partying too much, huh?" Uh, no. "Any way I have some news..." She started smiling at me, wider than before. I know what the news is, I can sense that shit a mile away. "I'm Pregnant!"

"Thats great!"

"You can be the Aunt! And even the god mother if you'd like?" 

"Thats fine by me, I'd be happy to be baby's god mother." God knows I'm going to live longer than you anyway... Something, or rather, someone caught my attention out of the corner of my eye, making me drop the conversation occuring in front of me. Scrutinizing them, I can see that this is definitely not someone from the current era. They look scared, confused and they're beginning to attract attention to themselves. I know who they are and what they're doing here, but taking them down will be a challenge, too many mortals.

The persons eyes latch with mine for a brief moment, enough to start them screaming and breaking into hysterics, paralyzed with fear. They know who I am, they know what I would do to them and they know the jig is up. I commend them for getting this far but I guess thats not hard when a complete buffoon (Thats YOU, Hades), practically lets them walk out with a fucking party bag. 

People gather round and I have no choice but to approach. This person cowers on the ground, continuing to screech and scream.

"Please don't hurt me! I beg of you! Don't send me back there!" Its deafening but everyone around seems to care more about this sudden outburst than the levels of decibels they're screaming at.  

"What is your name? Why are you screaming?" I feign innocent bystander as everyones eyes turn to me.

"You're going to take my life again! You're going to make me go back there! Back where the demons chase me!"

"Don't be rediculous! Now calm down and tell me who you are." I stare them down as they take deep breaths, cutting the screaming.

"I am Alexander Smith... Y-You know me. You always have." He's correct. I do know him and I cannot let him walk away from this. Not after what he has done in his life before he encountered me.

"Did you ever stop and think about why you were there Alexander? The things you have done that could possibly lead you to the place you have clearly escaped from?" Everyone's eyes were fixed on us... So the plot thickens aye?

"I didn't deserve it! You're a monster! You and your boyfriend!"

"Husband. He's my husband. I'm a monster? I recall you committed at least nine rapes, four of which were your own children, killed fifteen men, beat your newborn son to death, molested your infant daughter, before killing her slowly with painful asphyxiation. You deserved everything you got. I'm prepared to increase punishment if you think that's what you deserve?" Cover is slipping but its too late to give a shit now when these monsters are lurking in every corner.

"Lies! You liar! Filthy filthy liar! Im surprised you haven't killed your husband yet, you abusive slut!"

"My husband chose your punishment, do not blame this on me at a-" I was cut off by my husband showing up at the right time.

"I had no idea you were an abusive slut Persephone!" He chuckled, winking at me.

"Oh yeah, one hundred percent an abusive slut. What he did is nothing compared to me giving him what he deserves..." I joked. Im sure people have clued on at this point... "Also I need words with you about this. All joking aside."

"Fine but can we sort this out first?"

"Duh. What are you waiting for?" Three seconds later the cover we both had was blown as the soul of Alexander Smith was ripped from the human host and into the hands of Hades, who slipped it into the bag of souls... How cliche. People surrounding us didn't know whether to scream and run, or to observe. 

"Come on guys you can't seriously be surprised that I'm not human." I look around at all the faces of people I knew. Most of them backed away slowly before running. Others shrugged and nodded.

"Now what did you want to say to me?"
