Winter break at school was something most children looked forward to.

Well, Thea didn't go to school, so it didn't affect her in any way, but she'd always used this time of the year to check up on her mother's house as camp would be filled with winter visitors who'd gotten back from the school year.

This year was no different, not even after the events of the last winter and the quest that would be approaching her this summer. Not to mention, she would have to get in contact with Nico sometime soon to clear some theories.

As usual, the house was empty.

Not as in no items or furniture but as in no life.

Nobody lived there, and nobody had, since that day all those years ago.

Hades had bought the place and Thea was sort of an owner who sometimes slept over, but nobody lived there.

No one was there to take care of the plants in the corner (though Thea had a feeling Persephone was keeping them alive).

Nobody was there to fill the fridge (but she always stocked it with coca-cola for future visits).

Nobody was there to make it a home (except her childhood memories).

It was a house. Not a home. That time had long since passed.

On one of the walls were photos. All of them were taken a long time ago.

There were a couple of photos of a younger Thea and Lianna playing on the beach.

Some pictures of a baby Thea and her cousin playing in their abuela's backyard.

So many memories, yet the daughter of Hades could barely remember anything prior to her life in America.

There was one photo that she'd always admired. She didn't know who took it or how it ended up there on the wall, but it was of Thea's first week in the underworld.

She'd accidentally shadow-travelled there as she was hiding from some mean people in one of her foster homes, and as far as she could remember, Persephone and Hades had been in the middle of a meal.

Hades hadn't been much present that week, but Persephone had gotten her out of her shell and took her to visit Cerberus. Somehow a photo and the goddess and the demigod playing with the dog had ended up on the wall.

"That's one of my favourites." Thea spun around to face the intruder, hands raised ready to protect herself against any monster or men, but she was met with a surprising view instead.  Hades. Her father. She hadn't seen him in months.
