Persephone Ran Away from home
"Hmmm, I think I need more Cerberus' poo" Hecate told herself. She wiped her hands with the apron she's wearing. Her hair as dark as the night is tied to a ballerina bun. The Furies had asked her to make some potions for torturing the dead and so far she had made something that could make the dead smell even worse than dead. She was busy making some notes when someone knocked at her door. She checked herself first at the mirror then answered the door.
"Lady Persephone, Come in my queen" She greeted the beautiful young woman wearing knee high floral dress with auburn hair and brown eyes. She could have been more beautiful if her eyes were not gloomy and her expression wasn't as if she was carrying the world.
"Thank you Hecate." She answered. She entered and Hecate led her to the living room.
When she was seated she immediately broke down and started crying.
"He cheated on me with a mortal named Maria di Angelo! He told me I was going to be the only woman he'll love. He lied to me. I was so stupid to think he's better than my father." Persephone cried. Her hands are shaking. Tears kept falling to her cheeks. Her eyes are red from crying.
Seeing her queen in that situation broke Hecate's heart. She remembered when Persephone used to visit her and her spirit was always up. She was very optimistic about everything and her smile never fades. So different from what she is now. She sat beside her and put her hands to Persephone's shoulder.
"My Lady, I know right now no words can make you feel okay. But you have got to pull yourself together. You have to be strong." She told the queen.
"I don't know if I can face this. I-ahh I never thought love could this be pp-painful. It's like a million knives are stabbing my chest." Persephone sobbed even harder. She felt like her whole world is crumbling. Her dreams of happy years with Hades is now gone. Her heart shatters whenever she remembers his betrayal. She wished she had listened to her Mother and she was right all long.
"My Lady, Have you talked to Lord Hades?" Hecate asked. She waved her finger and dead servants came in bringing tea and biscuits. "Drink this my lady, tea always makes me feel better."
Persephone took a sip and calmed down a little. Tears are still falling to her cheeks. She wiped them and drank more tea. "N-No, I can't stand talking to him. I even can't stand seeing him."
"I think you should talk to him. Maybe he has an explanation." Hecate said. She filled Persephone's cup with more tea. She doesn't know what to tell her. Love isn't just her forte. If Lady Persephone had asked her about potions and magic she could have had a better answer.
"I don't want to. It's just that when I see him I remember everything. Our good memories and the bad ones. It breaks my heart and I can't take it anymore." She stopped crying now. Her eyes are so red and her hands are still trembling.
Hecate reached for Persephone's hands. She looked at her eyes and hugged her. She knew she could not help her lady. If only there was a potion that could heal a broken heart.
"Hecate, is it okay if I stay here until I find a new home?" Persephone asked her.
"My lady, You can stay as long as you want." Hecate answered.
