"No wait . . . I don't want to go back up there." I said. "What do you mean?" He asked. "No one likes me because I'm related to you." He thought for a moment. "Well it doesn't matter it was much worse when Nico was a baby, everyone hated him including my brothers and sisters, the rest of the gods." 

"Well I don't care I'm staying here even if I'm dead." I said sternly. "Well I can't stop you then." He said. Good, I thought there's no point going back to a world where people hate you. I ran to the castle gate and it swung open in front of me. I looked at the garden in front of me, there were grey, silver and black flowers with beautiful jewels on them. But I didn't stop and admire them.

 I ran to the castle door and stomped inside. I stomped down the castle entrance and into a bedroom. I didn't understand how I already knew the way but I didn't care. I ripped back the covers and drowned myself in them, tears streaming down my face. I stayed at the castle for days maybe weeks even, I don't know. I wandered the corridors and the garden. I was never hungry or tired, I guess that's because I was dead. Every once in a while I would see Hades but we never talked. 

One day we stumbled upon each other and he said "That's it Nico won't even eat anymore and I don't like seeing him this way, your going back up there." He said angrily. "Fine then take me back up there, I don't care." I said miserably. "Thank you Holly." He said quietly. He touched my shoulder and I woke up with a gasp.

 I was in a hospital bed and there was half a dozen people surrounding me. I saw my dads crying in some chairs in the corner. They looked up and said "Holly, you. . your alive." They ran over and hugged me saying "Don't you dare do that again." and "We were worried sick." "I'm sorry dad's but who are these people?" "Well Nico you've known them longer then I have. Why don't you introduce them." Will said.

 "Fine. Well that's Annabeth you know her already, that's her husband Percy son of Poseidon." He said pointing to a man with black hair and sea green eyes I could tell there were hard feeling's there. He then pointed to a short man with black hair and a tool bet standing next to a lady with dark braided hair and a white dress. "That's Leo son of hephaestus and Calypso, his wife." 

He pointed to yet another couple and said "The guy with the blond hair that's Jason son of Zeus and the dark haired girl with a feather in her hair, Piper son of Aphrodite." There was still two people left a carmel colored girl with dark curly hair and gold eyes, next to her a buff guy with a buzzcut. "That's Frank and Hazel your aunt and uncle. Well I think that's everyone." he said relieved. 

"Ummmm how long was I . . . dead?" I asked. "Well dear." Said Aunt Hazel sitting on my hospital bed "You've been dead for a week now but we knew Hades would bring you back to life so we waited and whenever any of the nurses came to talk about burying you we tricked them with mist and made them forget you were still here honey." Tears started falling down my face as I thought about being dead and how selfish I had been staying in the underworld when everyone was worrying about me.

 "Aw it's okay Holly, it's okay." Calypso said soothingly. "I'm . . . I'm so sorry I never realized that you guys were waiting for me. I never realized how long I was . . . dead" I said sobbing. "Let's give her a second to settle down." Said Will. I fell into his arms and sobbed thinking about being died. "Hey, let me talk to her." Said Annabeth. Uh no I thought remembering Charlie running after me. She looked at my expression and said "Holly its okay, I'm not mad a you." "Is Charlie and Paige okay" I asked nervously. 

She seemed to think for a moment and said "They've visited you everyday for the past week because they've been worried about you. In fact they just left after their last visit." Oh I thought, they still like me even after all the stuff I said about them.

 "Ok, then what did you want to talk to me about?" "I just wanted to say that what you did any child of Hades would do, in fact your dad stayed in the underworld for a month and when he came back he still hated us." She said in a tone of voice that made me believe her. 

The next few days I stayed at the hospital until I had enough strength to leave. I got lots of visitors and gifts in that time , and by the time I could go home I had three teddy bears, eight books, and seven flowers arrangements. Even Paige and Charlie visited me. "Welp I guess we should tell you . . . " Will said one day. "Tell me what?" I asked concerned.

 "We got a house!" They said together excitedly. Oh I thought I kinda liked living with Charlie and Paige. "And you know what? All the others live in the same neighborhood." They added seeing my expression. "Wow really?" "Yep and guess what their kids go to your new school." Nico said. Wow I thought in a week I'm already moving away from camp half blood and going to a new school.

That was 969 words! Does it feel to short to you? It does to me... well nevermind then. I'll try to write  next week but like I said in the chapter before this (Technically it's not a chapter but whatever) I have ERB's. Also sorry my author's notes are weird I have ADHD. If you think I'm lying email me later and we can chat. Oh well then good luck surviving until the next chapter. HAHAHAHA, it's probably not as hard as a freaking 2 hour long test you can't study for! Well bye then and good luck.
