The Chois eyed each other as they heard the knock on the front door.

"Did you invite someone else?" Silence engulfed the whole table.

A maid then, attended to the door and opened it. The whole family was puzzled with what kind of reaction the maid expressed.

"H—How may I help you?" No answer came.

"Okay, this is creepy." Youi commented, earning looks from her family.

All of them eyed the dining entrance as they heard that heavy foot steps coming closer.

There, a lady in her black suit appeared. Her pink hair, wayfarers, and her white boots contrasted the dark aura she's exuding.

The family stared at the lady, wondering who wears sunglasses at night yet they were surprised to see the deep blue eyes of the lady when she removed that piece of accessory. In just a blink of an eye they all smiled and greeted the said lady which bore confusion to Youi's mind.

What the hell is happening? She thought.

"Take a seat!"

Youi's eyebrows furrowed with her parents' welcoming gesture.

The lady then, sat at the opposite end of the table. Her deep blue eyes not even blinking as she linger them more in each of the family member's eyes.

Youi can't help but to be mesmerized with the stranger's eyes.

"May I know your name?" The father asked.

"Had—Heidi." The stranger answered.

Confused is an understatement to express Youi's expression. She's questioning the scene.

Why the heck did Dad let this stranger enter the house? Youi stared at the sitting lady.

"Aikovin." The whole table looked at Yuri as she called her wife.

"Are you sure you didn't have any affair before?" Everyone dropped their utensils as they heard the eldest Choi daughter asked.

"I swear to the heavens above, I didn't." Aikovin raised both of her hands.

They were amazed. The stranger is exactly mirroring the Shin wife's appearance, only the hair and eyes were different.

The height, built, looks, everything seemed to be the same.

"Then w—" Yuri stopped speaking mid-way as the stranger muttered some words lowly.

It was a whisper. A whisper that made to silent the curious minds of these humans she's conversing with.

"Let's continue the food, shall we?" It sparked more confusion on Youi.

She was about to speak but Heidi stared at her eyes. The deep blue eyes started to spin, it is as if she was being hypnotized by the lady's eyes.

Youi looked away in fear to be drowned in those hypnotizing eyes. She faced her food and continued eating. The table was dead silent, only the utensils are making some audible noise.

It made Youi uncomfortable yet she didn't dare to look up, afraid that she might be welcomed by Heidi's frightening blue eyes.

After that silent dinner, the whole family gathered at the house's living room.

Youi sat silently at the couch, the stranger sitting beside her while the other members of the family are catching up and laughing at certain jokes.

Youi felt conscious as Heidi kept a merely two-inch distance between them. The closeness made her skin crawl for the lady beside her have that unexplainable aura that appeals to her.

She glanced at the lady through her peripheral vision and stiffened as she saw the lady staring at her.

Youi inhaled deeply before asking the lady an ice breaker question.

"Who are you?" She asked, not letting the lady see through the strong mask she wears.

"I'm here for you…" Youi got the goosebumps as the lady whispered to her ear. "…Persephone."

Hearing her second name roll off the stranger's tongue sent her a funny feeling.

"Just who are you?" Youi asked again, almost whispering.

Heidi held Youi's shoulder, making the latter jolt upon the coldness that seeped through her thin cloth.

"Hades." Youi mastered the courage and looked at the lady's eyes. She felt her soul left her body as Heidi—Hades' eyes turn all black for a moment.

"W—What?" Youi asked again, not believing what she saw.

Hades then, bent her head closer to Youi's face and showed her that full-black eyes again. She made it linger for a good ten seconds before she blink, the black eyeballs turned white along with the deep blue pupils.

"I am Hades and I am your deadly wish." Youi shivered as she heard that cold voice whisper on her ear.

Her mind went lost for a small span of time as she think of what the stranger told her.

Then it hit her, she wished for this. She wished for it but she wasn't aware that it will be a deadly wish.

Youi shrugged those thoughts off, she may have believed at those 11:11 wish for a moment but she is certain that wishes don't just appear on your front door.

Wishes are only a form of asking for guidance to achieve what your heart really desires.

"Don't fuck around with me, stranger. Who the heck are you?" Youi asked, a bit irritated. She's not in for any unfunny joke for times like this.

"What a sharp tongue you have, human. Do you treat your superiors like this, huh?" It will be a lie if Youi will say she's not scared of this lady because heaven and hell knows, she's more than frightened when she heard the word 'human' from this lady.

Youi coughed and gulped before speaking again.

"Who the heck are you referring to? As far as I know, we are all humans here, no superiors and no inferiors. We're all equal." Youi spoke in a rather tensed way.

Hades huffed.

"None is equal, human. It's only the Gods and the peasants, no in-between." Hades spoke.

She wasn't a demigod to begin with. She's the fruit of Athena's affair with Hades but her mother put her in a human's womb which is now being taken care of her father, out of her step-mother's sight.

The so-called most faithful God is not perfect as he seems and she's the fruit of that imperfection.

"W—What are you saying?" Youi felt her breath hitched.

"Bow down to your superiors, peasant. You shall be glad you got to witness a Goddess before your useless soul is taken away by the God of Death himself." Call her rude or whatsoever, Hades is born with the wit and pride of her mother along with her father's fire and oozing attractiveness.

Youi turned pale but she decided to fight against it.

"You call me 'peasant'? But where are you in right now? You're in my house, I am your superior." Youi fought back and eyed the lady with her piercing eyes.

"If it wasn't for my Uncle Zeus' request, I shall be resting and playing with my fire in the underworld. Be nice, peasant or I'll make sure to burn your soul in Tartarus." Hades huffed with pride and let Youi feel her strong dark aura.

Youi's throat dried with Hades' statement. She sure passed the invisible line that was set by the Goddess in front of her.

"I—I…"

"Be thankful that I am nice, peasant. You wouldn't want to test my patience if I were you."
