Loss of life

Hades

Chapter 20

I woke up to the noise of screamo music.

It made my eardrums ring but something about it made it sound almost good.

I rolled over on my side and faced away from the wall to see Jackson looking in the mirror applying black eyeliner it looked like.

I did a double take. Jackson? Makeup? Who knew.

I throw the sheets off of myself and swing my legs over the bed.

I scurry over to Jackson and slap my hands onto his shoulders, earning a gasp and then a chuckle from him.

I stare at him as he applies eyeliner.
And I thought girls were bad with makeup.

I laugh and Jackson gives me a funny look.

"I can do the cat eye effect on you" I say bursting into laughter after I finish the sentence. I crack myself up.

"Haha very funny. No you don't have to do the cat eye effect" he says sarcastically.

"Besides I already know how to do it" he mumbles.

At this I fall to the floor grabbing my stomach and laughing hysterically.
This is honestly one of the funniest things in the world right now.

Jackson chuckles and pokes my side causing me to squeal.

"C'mon...we gotta... go" Jackson says between bits of laughter.

I wipe my eyes and sit up hugging my knees to my chest.

"Where are we going"

"To see hades"

"Who's hades?" I ask confused.

"Your demon, I did some searching in the library after you fell asleep last night and it took me a while but I was able to track him down"

I sit there suprised he found my demon so easily. This is really happening, I'm really gonna meet him.

"What kinda name is hades anyway" I say getting up and picking out some clothes.

"A demon name" Jackson says blandly.

I turn around about to take off my shirt when I realize Jackson is right there.

"Turn around or get out" I say.

"Jeez okay" he says putting his hands up in defense. He turns around and covers his eyes. I make sure he's not peeking and quickly get dressed.

I walk into the bathroom and put my hair up in a ponytail and apply some concealer and a very little but of mascara.

Walk back out and see Jackson is still how I left him.

Another great idea pops to mind and I can't deny it.

I tiptoe over to him and jump on his back causing him to stumble forward.

"Ahhh!" he screams almost falling flat on his face.

He quickly regains his balance and wraps his arms under my legs to keep me from sliding off of him.

"I'm sneaky" I say smiling.

"Yeah and heavy"

I slap his arm and my jaw falls.

"I weigh nothing technically, we are ghosts" I say.

"Okay smarty pants, whatever you say" Jackson says walking out the door with me on his back.

We enter the shop and see Ronnie and Sammy at the countertop playing a game of tic tac toe.

"Oh! You win again man, what is your secret!" Ronnie says throwing his hands up in defeat and leaning back in his chair.
