The Unbreakable Thread

Chapter 11: The first mission

-Angela-

“don't!” Hades shouted once more.

I jumped through the portal and darkness had taken over my surroundings.

A FEW seconds my feet then soon landed on the ground. I turned to the girl with her back at me and called her attention.

“Vicky” she turned to me with a sad smile on her face.

“Vicky you don't have to do this. It won't change anything Vicky, listen to me.”

“you don't understand. You don't know what it feels like to be murdered together with your parents. You don't know how it feels like to not be able to live and achieve your dream because of dying on a very young age!” Vicky said in enthusiasm, tears starts to roll down on her cheeks. I marched towards her and cuddled her in my arms.

“we may not be in the same situation when we reach death, but I'm pretty sure I understand your feelings right now. I too, am not able to be with my father's side right now because of my sudden death, but never will I take any revenge to my murderer because I know that in the end, it would do me no good. Plus, Lord Hades might send me to tartarus and punish me there. That's even worse though.”

I stroke her head and wiped her tears. She smiled to me and I return the favor. ‘guess I succeed’ I thought to myself.

“you know angela, this is really nice of you to help me with it.” slowly her smile is fading, she's looking at me with no untamed expression.

‘oh no’

“but we're not the same. I'm sorry”

Vicky Pushed me with strong force and I fell to the ground. That is very shocking because that's served as a great impact to me to lose my own balance.

“Vicky!” I run after her and I stopped at the middle of the roads with a lot of noises surrounding me from the crowds.

I aearched for the running ten year old soul making her way to the crowd, while the living mortals just passed through me.

‘well, I'm a ghost after all’

“vicky!” I yelled but she was nowhere to be found.

I keep on walking and later I found myself on a park.

There are less people here. I saw a family sitting on the grass while their parents keeps tickling and having fun with their children.

I stopped and sat on the bench looking at the happy family. I remember mom and dad used to cuddle with me whenever we lay down at the grass and stare at the night skies, but that was 5 yrs. ago, then 2 weeks after when mom got into an accident.

I sighed and look around. Later then I caught a sight of Vicky standing and hiding behind the tree observing something. I approached her and hold her in both shoulders that made her to look at me.

“let go of me” she pulled away and pay her attention back to what she was looking. I glance at her then back to the other directions.

“you see that man?” Vicky pointed at the man who's playing with his child.

“he's the great grandson of my killer”

“please don't tell me he's your target”

“yes he is.” Vicky said in a cold tone that made me shiver.

It's like Vicky is not even herself.

“but Vicky your murderer is already dead! Probably Lord Hades had thrown him in tartarus hundred years ago.”
