DEATH'S OWN

Born with an unusual birthmark, the shape of a skeleton’s head with rose patterns round about it on her neck, many believed she would only bring bad luck to those around her. This belief was solidified when two of her suitors died unexpectedly right after a visit to her home. Such a thing should come as a bother to any woman but the same could not be said about Nyx. She didn't care if the beliefs about her were true or false. She never liked any of her suitors. Her heart had always been longing for a certain man whom she was very familiar with in her childhood but ceased to appear before her the moment she entered adolescence. Since she knew him one thing was very certain about him, he was not human since he never aged. Not even once. Believing he would one day come again, Nyx was prepared to wait until the day they would meet again. But not everything goes as planned. Having a sickly mother whose only wish was to see her daughter get married and an influential suitor who didn't mind the deaths around her, Nyx soon found herself married off and her mother passed away leaving a father who dreaded her existence and a husband she never loved. **** From a distance he watched her grow, keeping his distance from her, staying within the shadows. As she aged slowly into adulthood, the mark on her neck became more prominent and so was her scent. He wanted her to grow, but when she finally came of age, he thought she would be better without him. But as time wore on and other men began to show interest in her, he could not hold back nor could he let them have her. He discarded those who had an interest in her but one of them slipped through his fingers while he was away and took her. He waited to see if she was happy with her life, with that man, if she was, then he would let her be. She would be able to live a happy life this time unlike the previous one, but everything changed when the forces from the underworld learned of her existence and her connection with him. Her husband was killed which he permitted and her life was in constant danger. Keeping the distance was no longer an option and he once again appeared before her.

Nyx's delimma 3

"Do you think that would work?" The familiar and irritating voice of Hades came into his ears, and he paused as he tried to find him first. "She wasn't drugged, and you are not the one that she needs. Right now, your touch is repulsive to her. Am I right, Nyx?" He asked to force her eyes.

He appeared beside the bed, grinning and leaning towards Nyx. Instinctively, Skye grabbed his hand, and the smile on Hades's face disappeared and was replaced with a scowl, but Skye didn't flinch. After hearing the devil's proposal t9 Nyx, let him get closer than this was dangerous not just for her but the world entirely. It was obvious that the Grim Reaper and Hades didn't see eye to eye.

Nyx opened her eyes but still didn't utter a word because the only word she wanted to utter was Reaper.

"Stay away from her," Skye growled, and for a moment, Hades was stunned.
