"You may call me Hades" Hades replied.
"God of the underworld?"
"Yes. That is exactly correct. I am also the man you saw in your dream." He said.
"But why have you lured me here?"
"Well, from the first time I saw you I was captivated. Now you will be my wife!" He exclaimed.
"No! You cannot just take me."
"Why of course I can, now come hop in my carriage."
A horse drawn carriage had appeared. Dark black horses leading it.
"I don't want to come with you. Gretchen help!" I screamed.
He picked me up and put me in the carriage. I kicked and tried to fight back. A hole opened up in the ground and the horses ran into it. I was crying again now, punching Hades in the shoulder. He didn't seem fazed by my feeble attempts to attack him.
"I cannot be injured Persephone."
"Leave me alone!" I screamed.
He sighed, as we arrived in the underworld. The carriage seemed to be floating but still moving. As if the horses were pulling us on an invisible path. Large dark cliffs towered over a river, which was filled with souls whom clawed upwards towards the carriage. The river was blue and wispy.
A large dark black castle, appeared in the distance. The horses slowed to a stop in front of the castle, which had a large three headed dog beast guarding it.
"Cerberus! Come here boy." Hades called, the dog named Cerberus walked towards him.
I cowered in the carriage.
"Don't be afraid my dear, he only bites the people I don't like."
I shivered, "Leave me alone."
He laughed a dark throaty laugh.
"I can't do that. Come now, I can show you to your room."
Frowning I followed him, avoiding Cerberus who barked at me.
Hades opened the big black doors to the castle. Leading to a well lit corridor with a throne at the end of the room.
"I am making a throne for you as well."
I didn't reply just quietly stood behind him. Hades turned around and stepped towards me. My nose bumping his chest. I tried to step away but his hand slid around my waist. I struggled against his grasp, "Let me go right now!" I yelled at him.
His smile deepened and he laughed.
"You will learn to love me."
"Never!" I hissed.
He released me, and stepped back grabbing my hand forcefully.
"This way to your room." He stated.
Dragging me along behind him.
We eventually reached a long corridor with five doors. I yanked my hand out of his.
"This large door is mine. Right across from yours."
My door was black but laced with a gold trim. He opened the door and I went in. The room didn't match the other parts of the castle. It was white and gold, with many plants growing inside. There was a big bed and a personal bathroom. It looked almost exactly like my room back home.
"How did you know what my room back home looks like."
"I've been watching you for quite some time" he replied.
Walking out he shut and locked the doors behind themselves.
I wanted to cry, but I realized that if I kept crying I would never get through this. From now on I will stop crying I have to be strong if I'm going to escape this place.
