My name is Jocelyn Roxwell. I am 17 years old. I live in Dickinson, North Dakota. This is the story of how I came to die, then went to the Underworld.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was washing dishes, when I heard a sound that came from the backyard. I stopped doing the dishes and went to the closet, and grabbed a coat and a scarf. I went outside, and saw a pigeon struggling to get out of the pool. "Hold on little bird, I'll help you!" I said. As I walked towards the pool, I tripped and fell into the freezing cold water of the pool. I tried getting out of the pool, but with all the layers on, it made escape nearly impossible. With no success of getting out of the pool, I drowned. The next thing I knew, I was in a room that seemed to be a man's room, instead of a woman's room. I was in a king size bed looking around at my surroundings, when I heard a voice right next to me say, "Welcome to the world, my Angel." He looked like he could be in his late 20's. He wore black clothing that fit his figure perfectly. You could tell that he worked out. He also had black shoulder length hair, and grey eyes. I jumped out of the bed, scared to death. "who the hell are you?!" I screamed. "Now, is that any way to treat the man who nursed you back to health after you had pneumonia, and who happens to be the ruler of the Underworld?" I was angry, and confused. I didn't know where I was, especially what an Underworld is. So I tried asking him again, "I asked you a question, who the hell are you?! If you want me to be simple, what's your name?!" He looked at me like he was a dog that got kicked around. "My name is Jev Cipriano. I see that you're confused. Sit down, and I will explain." I didn't like being told what to do, but I listened. In order to get answers to my questions, I have to be obedient, and listen to what the person is going to say. "You are in what is called The Underworld. You are here because you have died trying to save a bird. You fell into the pool and drowned to death. I apologize for you hearing this but it's the truth. Oh, no.....please.....don't cry!" I couldn't stop crying after finding out that I was dead. "Why did I have to be so stupid?! I could have grabbed the pool net, but I wasn't thinking right and it caused me to die!" He looked at me apologetically and said, "I know that this might not feel like home right now, but I will try my best to make this place comfortable for you." He walked over to the fireplace and grabbed a small box off the mantle. "I know you just met me, but I feel like we should be together, so I only have one question to ask." He got down on one knee and opened the box. Inside was the most beautiful ring. It was a gold ring, with a 25 carrot diamond with 10 carrot sapphires around the diamond. He looked up at me and said, "Jocelyn Roxwell, will you do me the honor and marry me?"
