Gretchen finished filling up the bath and called me in.
"So, Hades was very nice taking care of you like that." Gretchen hinted.
"If your implying that I am catching feelings your wrong. I still hate him."
"Yes I suppose so. But he seems to be in love with you." She added.
"He's in love with the idea of me. A pretty girl to have on his arm."
"If you think so." Gretchen sighed.
I started undressing and got into the bath water.
"I never thought I would say this but I actually miss Olympus…"
"That is understandable." She replied curtly.
"I am so sorry about Joseph Gretch. If you asked Hades maybe he would let you go on vacation or something?" I blurted.
"That's not how it works I'm afraid…"
"What do you mean?"
"H-he made me sign a contract… Saying that I would never leave the underworld." She whimpered.
"Gretchen! You should have told me I'll make him take it back!" I hissed.
"No, it's to late now Kore."
I shook my head. It was so damn depressing that she would never be able to see Joseph again. She would never be able to see the sun again because of me, Hades never let Apollo come in the underworld.
"Anyways Kore, let's focus on something more exciting, your eighteenth birthday is coming up, you will finally be immortal."
Every god and goddess isn't immortal until they turn eighteen. We stop aging. All of us can still get hurt though. If we get fatally hurt then we are dead for eight days until our bodies have fully healed themselves.
"Yeah it is exciting…" I mumbled.
"What's wrong?!"
"I'm just sad I won't be able to spend my birthday with my mother."
Gretchen nodded, "I know dear."
After my bath I dried off with a towel and got in a night gown.
"I'll be leaving now Kore."
"Goodnight Gretchen." I replied.
She left shutting the door behind. I fell on the bed. Why is life so cruel? I wondered.
*woof woof*
I think Cerberus is at the door! Opening the door Cerberus ran in and hopped onto my bed.
"Oh! Cerberus, what a good boy!"
I shut the door and sat on the bed next to Cerberus.
I climbed under the covers and Cerberus sat on top of me. Stroking his back I eventually fell asleep.
