AVYANNA'S POV

I was in the dark again, all alone waiting for an explanation for why I am back here. Before all this mess in my life I used to suffer from nyctophobia but now I cannot run away. It seems like it's a part of me now, like I will always come back here. It's now like a second home to me and honestly, I am not complaining.

"Well done, my child. You have fulfilled your destiny." Says a familiar female voice, I rummage through my memories and recognize the voice.

"Selene?" I ask

"Yes, my child. I am proud of you. You managed to fulfill your destiny."

"Thank you, I really did not think I could do it." I honestly say

"Never doubt yourself, for thoughts and words have the power over our actions." She responds

"I guess you are right but may I ask? Is this why I still here? Am I dead?" I question

"No my child, you are alive, you had just fainted after you defeated Davinela, so you have been asleep for someday now. Also since you have done what you are destined for, I am here to take you with me." She explains

"Take me? Why? Where?" I ask confused.

"Didn't you want to leave your life and die?" She questions.

I start to remember everything I said when I last talked to Hades and Selene. I remember wanting death more than anything. I remember not talking to anyone for a long time because I was devastated to come back to the land of the living but now I have the opportunity to have my wish granted, to die and run away from the reality of life.

"What's wrong?"

I keep quiet and think back to my life. I think of my grandparents and how young I am and have a whole life ahead of me to discover myself and possibly get my life straight. I have made up my mind. I will own my life, move on , and become a better person. My grandparents did not spend half of their life keeping me safe just to watch me die later on.

"I have decided on staying. I want to go back to the land of the living."

"I knew you would change your mind."

***************************************
I woke up to the sound of people whispering and moving around in front of me.

I groan due to the dull pain in my head.

"She is waking up."  Some female whispered

I then hear rushed footsteps towards me. I slowly open my eyes and give them time to adjust to the light around them.

I look around the room, to find my grandparents looking at me eagerly. I sit up straight.

"We thought you were dead." My grandma says as she rushes over to me and sits on my bed

"How long was I asleep?"

"For four days." My grandpa answers

I nod and it's silent for a while. Each of us are in our own world with thoughts unbeknownst to each other.

I am brought out of my thoughts with  a sound of a knock.

"Come in." I say

Aedion walks in. My grandparents stand and leave. I guess giving us time to talk because Aedion and I really need it.

After my grandpa closes the door Aedion walks closer to my bed and stands right in front of it.

He clears his throat.

"How are you doing?" He asks

"I'm okay, I guess." I respond. It's silent again. The air is so thick with so many thjngs to say but yet unsaid. None of us know how to start or what to say. We just stay in awrkward silence.
