Yes an escape plan that is what I need. Maybe mother or Gretchen would realize I am gone and come to fetch me. That's a stupid thought it's not like they can get down here easily anyway. I fell backwards onto the bed. Being locked in here is quite boring. What did he mean anyway by I would learn to love him. That's something the villain says in romance books. That makes sense since Hades is the villain.
*knock knock*
"I'm coming in!" Hades called.
I groaned and stood up from on the bed.
"What do you want?"
"Just coming to remind it is time for dinner."
"I'm not hungry." I replied blatantly.
"Is there anything I can do to make you feel more at home."
"Hmm. You can bring me Gretchen." I stated sarcastically l.
"Ok." Then he left.
He's just pretending to care. He doesn't actually love me. He is just saying that because I am beautiful. It's not fair. He could have any women he wants but he had to choose me.
*knock knock*
"Ugh not again! Just leave me alone Hades."
He opened the door, "No matter how much it pleases me to hear you call my name, I brought you what you wish." Hades dragged Gretchen into the room.
"G-gretchen? How did you get her so fast?" I stuttered.
"Just one of the many perks of being a god." Hades replied.
"Kore! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She sobbed.
Gretchen ran to me and hugged me.
"This is all my fault."
"No, no Gretchen. This is neither of our faults."
Hades had left us alone in the room.
"It is his fault." I replied simply.
She nodded still hugging me.
Several minutes passed while they held onto each other tightly.
"He said I am to be your maid, so I am going to draw you a bath."
"I just want to go home Gretchen." I said sorrowfully.
"I know Kore, me to," She sighed "but maybe he actually cares in some kind of sick way? Why would he bring me to you anyway?"
"I think he just wants to sleep with me and use me."
Gretchen laughed, "Maybe so. Anyways come, the bath is ready."
The bath water has rose petals and salt in it. I undressed and got into the water.
"How's mother?" I asked.
"She's sad. Her and Zeus are trying to find you right now."
"They never will find me all the way down here."
"Maybe not, but they might."
"Hades has taken a liking to me do you really think he'll let me go?"
She shrugged, "Of course not."
After the bath, I got into a silk night gown that was in the dresser.
"Can you sleep with me Gretchen."
"Of course Kore."
She snuggled into bed beside me, and we both fell asleep.
