  Kaatje had so many questions to ask, so many things she wanted to see, but knew she could get the former very easily, but assumed Hades’ powers could not go as far as time travel. She wanted to see the faces of her parents, and currently from what she heard, her father had the colouring of a villain.They decided on strolling around the hallways with no real destination in mind instead of going back to Hades’ resting room‘So my father really wanted my mom to kill me?’ She was gravely disappointed.Hades scoffed. ‘And any other child that came before you, he was ver power-hungry. Of course, that was a choice they did not dare go against since it was the will of the devil. No one could do anything about- what the devil says, goes. It is all a business transaction to him; he offers an attractive bargain, at first it delivers as ridiculously easy, as something you cannot let wither from you, but in the long run, you will realise your mistakes, and the mome

  The story was getting more complicated than Kaatje would have like it to be. The thoughts of her biological parents having something to do with Hades, god of the underworld was like swallowing a large pill without a drop of water.‘Please tell me you’re trying to make things up.’ Kaatje actually had her fingers on each of her hands crossed.‘Unfortunately Kaatje, I do not believe in the art of making things up for I have more important businesses than to forge those kind of unimportant beliefs.’She shook her head with her eyes closed. ‘Please, explain to me this… development.’‘If you can recall correctly, I told you how your parents requested immortality from a source that happened to make it more of a curse than a gift.’Kaatje nodded in agreement. ‘Yes, I do remember.’‘A link between mortals and we supernatural beings usually meant the mortal had some sort of voodoo powers, in connection with one who posses

  PRESENT DAY…When Kaatje had finished her story, tears drowned out of her red-rimmed eyes; like a lake, pouring incessantly.Hades stared at the now child-like Kaatje blankly.Kaatje sniffed in a few thick liquids that had gathered to clog her throat.‘That happened and later I just recalled being sucked into this place and something or someone was chasing me and I just didn’t know where to go. All it was saying was “Come out, come out where ever you are”. I didn’t know what to do, and there was this thing… or person that just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It looked- it looked- it was…’ She gave a loud gasp. ‘It was you!’Everything began running into Kaatje’s head. Memories that physically pained her to crack were now rushing like waterfalls.‘The dark figure, it was you. You were the one that came to me, you saved me, and you killed that thing that I don’t still know how it looks like.’Hades me

  The Charlie-Charlie game hovered on Kat’s mind up until the next day. It was all she could think about; when she sat alone in the solace of her peaceful room; when she was having her bath, she even dreamt about playing the Charlie-Charlie game but wasn’t able to hold on to the dream when Danny’s screech attacked her after he found a gecko lying next to him. Even as she stood chopping onions which would be used to prepare lunch, she was still thinking about it.‘Kat make sure you don’t add too much pepper into the food so Ouzel can enjoy it, you know he doesn’t like a lot of pepper.’She heard the voice of her mother and it instantly snapped her out of her thoughts. Kat turned around and saw she was wearing her blonde wig over her bald scalp. That usually signalled Mrs Papadakis was going somewhere important since she wasn’t afraid to disclose her head to the world ever since she was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and was now finally treated but dec

  EIGHT YEARS AGO…Danny burst into Kat’s room banging the door in the process which had Kat glaring at her brother.‘Check this out Kat, my fastest jet yet.’ Excitement coloured his sharp voice.With lightning speed, Kat watched as the jet plane whooshed past her face, almost touching her nose and landed in a plane-like fashion on the floor next to her.‘Bull’s-eye! And Danny wins again as he sends the jet crashing down the enemy’s terrain for the second-’Kat contorted an angry frown as she snatched the paper jet from her younger brother and crumpled the piece.‘Kat, why did you do that?’Kat returned to reading the ancient history book she held in her hand. ‘You were disturbing me Danny! I’ve warned you never to let this shitty jet touch me.’‘But it didn’t touch you.’Danny recovered quickly and began making another paper jet plane in a seemingly ‘finer quality’ than the previously crump

  This time, he walked at a reasonable pace while Kaatje followed.They walked out of the throne room and Kaatje was shocked to know hallways existed. The walls in the hallway too were painted a dark colour.The quietness was comfortable as they walked together until they reached a large door duplicate to all the other doors that existed there.He opened it and she saw was surprised to see numerous instruments hanging on stark white walls. The instruments too were a pleasing white.‘This is the music room.’‘I see you have a secret love for the less darker hues, don’t you?’He grunted. ‘Not my most favourite room here, I surely do not fancy it. I did not decide the colour.Kaatje’s hands were already exploring the place. The instruments were not far off her reach for her tips could stretch enough to hold one. She did not grab a hold of any, all she wanted she found pleasing was the calming sensation that possessed her when sh
