can you guess what books i read?

i have no idea why i keep having romantic dreams lately, im usually dreaming about singing or music n shit, so this is kind of weird for me. It must be the books ive been reading lately~
This first one i had like a month or two ago, so i cant really remember it but i want to get it down now before i forget it

Sooo something happens in this stupid kingdom, and someone dies so the princess goes to the underworld or to the land of the dead to get them back (think Greek myth here).She also hopes to plead to Hades the god of the underworld for his help
She gets to the entrance, goes through and there she meets Charon (he looks like Death, with the black robe and you cant see his face or hands or anything, but hes holding the staff to push the boat along and river of the dead). So shes like shit scaredless of him, and she has to pay him two obols to guide her to Hades castle
He agrees to take her and he travels with her for seven days, i seriously cant remember what happens in those seven days(i do remember grey sand dunes, dead trees in dried up fields, etc,). At first he doesn't talk to her but overtime they start conversing and she suddenly realizes when she gets to the castle that she is in love with him (that escalated quickly LOL).
And hes just like what the fark ... o_O  no.So he leaves and she goes into the castle.
There she meets Hades, whos pretty darn good looking lol in a dead kind of way XD and she tries to convince him to help her save her kingdom. He agrees on the condition that she marries him (because he is living he needs a living wife- he is not actually dead), and she is heartbroken and absolutely refuses. She has to stay for the night though as Charon only can make two trips a day, and she caught the afternoon trip.
She starts snooping around the castle to find out more information on Charon, as she wants to know how she will be able to be with him when she dies, but then she finds out that in fact, Charon and Hades are the same person. So she goes to Hades and happily agrees to his condition, and though he is happy, he says that she must marry him before she can go.
She refuses and says he has to save her kingdom before the wedding, or no wedding. So they agree that she may go back but if she does not return to marry him, all the people in her kingdom will drop down dead two weeks from their victory.
So she goes back and i cant remember what happens here, some thing with fighting skeletons in greek armor (I know my memory gosh!). And so the kingdom is happy with her, and the neighboring prince (it was two small kingdoms against one huge one btw) declared at this part as her reward for serving the kingdom he shall marry her and one day she will be queen. She refuses and the royalty is furious saying if she does not then they will sentence her to death. But then she says she is already engaged to someone else, but they dont believe her when they she says its hades, thinking shes just trying to get out of the marriage. so they say they will have a banquet, and they shall invite her fiancĂ©, and at the ball she shall decide for herself who she wants to marry (even though she already knows and this is annoying). so she sends a message for hades, and he finds their insolence funny so he goes along.
Its only when he arrives that the royal family finally believe her that she is engaged to hades, and everyone is terrified at this death figure (hes in his charon outfit). Throughout the whole banquet she happily sits next to him, and everyone thinks she is crazy as they are terrified of him. Then she has to dance with both her fiancĂ©s (the prince trying his best to persuade her while they dance) then finally decide who she is in love with. When she says hades her family is horrified and start mourning. They have the wedding the next day, and then she leaves with hades, promising to visit her family.
When she finally arrives in the underworld, everything is different. (think like how limbo was for the girl in the lovely bones), she asks hades why, and he says its because they try to make the underworld look horrible to the living, so that they make the most out of their lives instead of just wishing for death if things are bad. But when she finally became his wife, she gets to share in his heaven. So they go on happily every after making lots of babies :)

The end.

or so i thought, till a couple of nights ago when i had this other dream.
so there was this chick, she was cursed. she can transform into a large crow monster (like a huge moa), and attacks every living thing. She is trapped in this labyrinth. She has like fiery golden hair and really while skin and hazel eyes, and she looks around 18. Other than being a monster trapped for eternity in this labyrinth she pretty much lived a normal life. Like she has a house in this labyrinth, that stands on chicken legs. (think babayaga). So she was in her bathroom one night and washing her face (no lights on) when suddenly she hears this movement, and she looks up in the mirror and there, behind her is two boys, one looking around eight holding a teddy bear and another 14. they are both looking horrified staring at her, staying dead still hoping she doesnt realise they are there. She looks at herself in the mirror, she is still human, then at the boys. Just as she opens her mouth to sream "run away from me" to them (though she cant cause her mouth is sewn closed), she hears a crowing sound of a bird, and she knows it came out of her own beak (that is not sewn closed when she transforms). she looks back in the mirror and she is the bird, and she turns to hunt them down. They run screaming from her then i cant remember what happens but next minute she is a girl again, the sun is up and the two boys are lying in a bloody heap on the floor, they are alive, but in defending themselves they have ripped the chain from around her neck and it lies broken on the floor. it was the chain that gave her this curse, and she could not remove it with her own hands, only those of someone else could. but now her curse was broken and she was very grateful to the boys. she quickly ushers them inside her house though they are scared shitless of her, but when she gets a first aid kid full of bandages they finally understand she means no harm. She cant talk to them so she writes down her gratitude to them. She finds out the boys names and she tells them hers. They ask her why her mouth is sewn together, and she says it is another curse she is put under. They ask her how she got put under the other curse, and she explains it was a old witch who was furious with her because she would not talk to her and she was blind so she cursed her before the girl could get away. she asks them if they can sing, and they say they are no good, but she begs them becuase she loves music and so for the next day or two, while she sews them clothes (they were wearing rags) she listens to them in pure joy. She finds out that the older boy is in fact 16, not 14, and he is just short for his age, and his younger brother constantly mocks him about it.

aghh i have to go!! to sum up what happens next - while sleeping the older boy cuts the stiches on her mouth open, then the sound of thunder, she wakes and hides the boys in a chest, they are in awe at the sound of her anjelic voice. the boys open it up a little and watch, a witch comes by and tortures the girl for cutting her stitches. she leaves before morning and the boys get out to find the girl half dead, with new stitches on her mouth. They bandage her up but think that it would be better to get help, so the older one goes home, turns out he is a prince, and he says he will kill himself if they dont bring her home and help her. She comes home, heals, they all bond happily, blah blah blah, the older boy has a crush on her, but then he gets sent away to train in fighting, before leaving he kisses her and promises to marry her when ha returns and she is embarrassed. two years later he is 19 he returns, the girl is 21 and the little boy is 11. he decalres he will marry her, and there is a ball, but while the ball is happening she hears thunder and in front of everyone rips open her stiches and screams at everyone to run, but everyone is in awe with her beautiful voice, they stay rooted to the ground stupefied. the witch comes and threatens the life of everyone, but then the girl discovers she is not in the witches territory, and so she calls upon her fathers army to help her. turns out shes hades daughter. but she is under the witches spell and can do no harm to the witch herself, and so she just calls the army to protect the people. the prince is horrified as he watches her get tortured again, and so he challenges the witch and kills her blah blah. so any way everyone is happy and safe, she can finally talk, turns out she got kidnapped when she was little for her voice, (think little mermaid). she then need to return to the underworld to her father with his armies, promising to return the day of the wedding.
So the wedding is organised, and the day of the wedding she returns withher mum n dad,and the royal family on her mums side(turns out this is the enemy kingdom they fought against). hades and his wife,  they are both dressed in black robes so no one can see how they look (charon outfit). but during the wedding ceremony the king and queen of all kingdoms have to kiss the bride and groom, and so the older brother starts freaking out a bit in his head, he is terrified cause he thinks he is going to be kissed by skeletons, but when they bend down towards him he is in awe by how beautiful they are, with a kind of unearthly glow from their skin under the hood. (they keep the hoods up when they kiss him, they just hoist it up so only he can see them.)

honestly, i woke up right there when her mum smiled at the older brother prince. So thats all i got.

FINALLY!! its off my chest! XD
and thats the end of my novel of a blog XD
