"Hello Annika." He said with a small smile. I noticed he was the only person with the same face as he had on earth.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" I ask taken aback. My mother had made her way over to us and she carried the largest smile on her face.
"I see you've run into your uncle Dearius." She said giggling. I turned to her flabbergasted.
"Uncle? No, this is my teacher. Professor Dearius." I said adding emphasis on the word Professor. The two began to chuckle and my mom began to guide me into the home. In there, I was met with the sweetest smell of apple turnovers and immediately I searched for my aunt grandma.
"She's in the kitchen. It's straight and then take a left. You'll see it." I heard Dearius say. Without hesitation I followed his directions.
"ANNIKA!!" My grandma yelled, or at least I believed it was my grandma. The woman who ran towards me looked to be at least twenty five years old. Her long red hair bounced in spirals as she made her way towards me. Yellow irises danced with glee as she smiled wildly and her mildly crooked teeth were on full display. The emerald earrings she wore in her small lobes swung delicately each step she took.
"My darling granddaughter!" She laughed and winked at me. I laughed along and we found each other's toros and were soon consumed in a hug that I never wanted to end.
"How've you been? Are you pregnant yet?" She said looking towards my stomach.
"Lorraine! She is NOT pregnant!" My mother said swatting her hand away from my stomach. "My goodness dear! She and Hades just started kissing!" She wailed. I turned to her feeling my cheeks heat up immediately.
"MOTHER!" I squealed embarrassed.
"What? It's true honey." I shook my head and turned to Dearius.
"Can someone PLEASE explain to me what my professor is doing here?" I said throwing my hands up.
"He's your uncle." My...Grandmother? Aunt? Lorraine? Aunt Lorraine! Aunt Lorraine says.
"Okay, but how? He's human right? That doesn't make sense." I find a chair and sit on it and I scrunch my nose in thought.
"Well Sherlock, gods and humans can have relationships too, it's just not recommended." My aunt says. "There are many things and laws and such that come with marrying a human, but it's still a possibility." She says grabbing onto his hands.
"But is he going to die one day?" I ask bluntly. They all turn to me and seem slightly solemn.
"He would've if I hadn't fought for him. He has immortality, but he still ages just not as bad as humans. He gets one wrinkle like every two thousand years." She says and laughs and I join in.
Suddenly I hear the toilet flush from somewhere in the cottage and I turn towards the noise.
"What was that?" I ask.
"You're father." Lorraine says rolling her eyes in a non-playful manner. I snigger, and soon I find myself face to face with my father once again.
"Hello daughter." He says bowing.
"Father." I say giving him a curtsy. We both chuckle. He walks over and swings an arm over my shoulders.
"So what did I miss?" He says looking around at each of us.
"Not a thing." My mom responds. He gives her a quick look but turns away from her completely.
"Are the turnovers finished Lorrie?" He asks smelling the air.
"No fat ass. Annie come help me finish the turnovers before your dad eats my furniture." She says grabbing me by the arm. I groan, but stand up anyway.
After 30 minutes Aunt Lorraine and I had finally finished the apple turnovers (with no help from any of the others). When we placed the plates of turnovers on the table, it seemed like half were gone almost instantly.
"So Annika, are you excited to soon become the queen of the underworld?" My mother asks. I roll my eyes and finish chewing my food to answer her question.
"That depends on if Hades would like to make me his queen." I say shrugging. Instantly laughter is heard around the room and I look at the four in confusion.
"IF!?!" Dearius says red faced from the intense laughter they just shared. "There is no IF! You're both destined to be with one another!"
"Yeah, it's basically written in the stars." Lorraine adds on while popping turnover into her mouth.
"I wish you would see that you guys are literally meant for one another Annika. You weren't made on accident." She says with a lopsided grin.
"Yeah, I'm honestly glad I put myself into the situation I did. You both are perfect for each other." My father says squeezing my hand." I look at him and feel a smile dance on my lips.
We spend another four hours or so simply joking and playing around with Lorraine and Dearius until I feel the need to go home to Hades.
"We'll see you three soon?" Lorraine asks at the door.
"Of course baby sister." My dad says. He runs towards her and gives her a massive bear hug.
"Stop calling me that." She pushes him away and flicks him off. I see the partial hurt on his face, but he quickly covers it with a laugh.
"Why does she hate me so much?" I hear my fathers voice echo in my own mind. Jumping, I fling myself out of my dads head. I hadn't even noticed I was reaching in the first place.
"Of course we'll be back." I say. Feeling antsy to get home, I inch away from the house more and more. Hades was at home and I am here NOT with Hades.
"Alright we need to get going Lorraine, but it was nice to see you." My mom says while giving me a knowing look. We all give one final wave goodbye and Lorraine closes the door to her small home. I Rudy towards midnight ready to get my mom and midnight back to Olympus.
"Go ahead Anne. I'll go to Olympus with your father. Don't worry about me." She says lightly. I turn to my dad and he gives me a wink of reassurance. Or it could've been a wink of something else, but that is NOT a thought I would like to explore.
"Alright. Goodnight you two." I say waving.
"Goodnight Midnight." I say smiling.
"Goodnight Annika."
Before anymore unnecessary conversation can continue, they are riding off into the dark sky and a smile forms on my lips.
I could finally see my Hades.
