A Cinderella Demigod? (Nico Di Angelo/ Cinderella

Chapter 7

When I woke up I thought I would feel pain, but that was not the case. I felt perfectly normal except I felt that I was a bit light headed. Still lying down I looked around, there was a pile of sand like dust and next to that was annabeth. It seemed she had just woken up, she looked around until she spotted me. Her eyes widened when she saw me and she hurriedly crawled towards me, tears in her eyes.
 
“no please wake up” she shouted at me, what. I am awake. “ No no no” she kept muttering. I sat up but she didn’t seem to notice.
 
“annabeth” no response. I could see tears in her eyes and hey whats that on her hands. Is that blood, was she bleeding. I stood up to see why she was crying. What I saw basically made my heart stop.
 
There was a girl laying on the ground, blood splattered everywhere. The girl had red hear but her eyes were closed. It was obvious she was dead. Annabeth tried to find a pulse but it was no luck. Then something hit me like a truck.
 
The girl was me. I’m dead.
 
I looked down at my body and saw it transparent. I am dead. I just watched at the scene in front of me, I think I died of blood lost or the impact when I fell off the cliff or both. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard rustling behind me. I snapped around to see another monster. I think It was a Cyclops. It snatched up my lifeless body (that sounds weird since it was my body) and annabeth and took them away, I could hear annabeth screaming going fainter and fainter.
 
What do I do know? I’m dead, what do you do when you’re dead? I looked around
 
“I wish someone made a book of what to do when you’re dead.” I said to myself, I mean it wasn’t like anyone would hear. I suddenly heard a chuckle behind me, I quickly spun around to see a man. Could he see me? He was wearing some jogging gear.
 
“yes I can see you” he said answering my thoughts. Do I have sign that says what I’m thinking? He chuckled once again. I looked up to see if I actually did have a sign above my head. Nope no sign.
“I am Hermes god of travelling and blah blah blah to many titals” hermes said, I laughed at his comment. “ I am here to take you to the underworld” he added. Oh right I remember now, the underworld is where all the dead souls went and hermes would help souls get to the underworld. But if that is true then I would need to a drachma to get past Charon.
“Anywhere you would like to stop” he said waiting for me
 
“Could you take me to see nico, I just want to see if he’s alright” I looked up into the god’s eyes. He nodded and extended his arm for me to take. I grabbed hold of it and we seemed to fly up the cliff. Before I knew it I could see nico and Grover, I remember him because he tried to be friends with nico and Bianca. It looked like nico was trying to teach him Mythomagic.
 
“NO you can’t play that” he said angrily, I chuckled. Nico’s head shot my way and I quickly hid in a bush.
 
“hey grover did you hear that, It was like someone laughing” How did he hear me? I looked over at hermes and he looked as confused as I was. I peeked through the bush and saw grover shaking his in a no way. “hey grover when will madi get here” that line shattered my heart, well my dead heart. I couldn’t bear to listen to anything else.
 
“hermes lets go” I whispered he nodded his head and we walked away.
 
“im surprised that your not asking so many questions” hermes said
 
“I normally just go with the flow, but I am concerned about Charon in greek myths you had to pay Charon with a drachma to get over the river Styx”
 
“here” hermes dug around in his pocket and finally brought something shiny out of his pocket. A drachma.
 
“thank you” I said excitedly
 
“no problem but ah could you tell me um how you died.” He said nervously.
 
“Sure no problem, well I was at a dance and this boy asked me to dance he told me his name was percy Jackson…” I told him my story. “at least I wasn’t tortured to death” I said trying to lighten up the mood.  We soon ended up in a small cave opening.
“this is as far as I can take you, just go to Charon and give him the drachma and he should take you across if not just give him a beating.” I laughed at his last remark. He waved and in a flash he was gone. I entered the cave opening, after walking a couple hundreds of meters I saw some light and I soon entered a room. The room was crowded with dead souls. I looked around and saw the front desk. I walked towards it and a man appeared I gave him the drachma and he smiled at it.
 
“welcome aboard.”
