Story (P.S It'll have chapters so it won't be finished in one day)
Hades walked down the streets of Appleton Maine, the city was quiet and calm. Cars passed by every now and then and the animals in the fields would gallop.

Hades didn't feel in a jolly mood, even though it was Christmas time. He just wanted to escape from his duties and not have to worry, but he always had something on his mind.

Hades glanced at a coffee shop across the street and noticed it wasn't very busy, he walked across the small road and stepped inside the shop.

Right away a waitress ran up to him and offered to take his coat, he slipped it off and handed it to her.

"Follow me please," She said and she led him to a small table that was big enough for two people, he sat down and the waitress asked what he would like.

"Black coffee. And a slice of cheese cake." He said and she nodded and left with his jacket which he was pretty sure he wouldn't get back.

Hades hadn't noticed that someone was sitting at the table with him. The woman was reading a book and dinking orange juice.

"Excuse me?" Hades asked and she didn't even glance at him.

Hades cleared his throat loudly and she jumped spilling her Orange juice all over her book and the table.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" She said and set her book down and grabbed some napkins and tried cleaning up the Orange juice.

"It's alright. You don't have to apologize." Hades said and she shook her head and continued cleaning up the mess.

"No. I have to. I am so clumsy!" She said and Hades shook his head.

"I scared you, it wasn't your fault." He said and she finished cleaning up the mess and then looked up at him.

"Still. I shouldn't of been reading. I always cause problems when I am reading." She said and Hades was about to say something when the waitress came back with his food.

The woman glanced at her watch and gasped.

"I'm late! I have to go I am so sorry!" She said and grabbed her bag and quickly got up and left the Coffee shop.

To be continued later today!
