OMG I LUV ALL OF YOU WHO REVIEWED!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo sorry I haven't been writing more chapters but school and being dumped doesn't really help in the writing department. I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY!!!!!!
Hades POV
I walked out into the too-bright hallway with mixed feelings. I banged my head softly on the wall.
"Persephone..." I sighed.
Is love sopposed to feel like this? I thought. Is it supposed to rip your heart when you aren't near the other person and at the same time make it feel as if it was ready to leap out of your frikkin chest? Too painful to deal with. Too...happy.
My thoughts were soon interrupted when I suddenly heard Demeter yell. I ran towards her voice.
"I WON'T BE IGNORED!"She practically screamed.
I saw Persephone walk towards the car docks and into a car. Demeter seemed to be pulling at her hair when she saw her drive off so quickly. Once the smoke was settled (from Persephone's tires) I saw Athena walked out of the hallway with a worried look on her face and a cellphone in hand. I was about to walk towards the stables when I heard Eros.
"Wow, why don't you just look at the drama played out in here. If it was any more dramatic, we would've heard music in the background." He snickered. I turned around to see him stuffing his face with popcorn.
"What are you doing here? I thought you would've let me be for a couple of days."
"I like to think that I'm a very important character in this story. Plus, the author thinks I'm adorable. Just think of me as the fly to your meat, the gnat on those wonderful summer days, the salt on your already too salty steak, the weed in your garden, the-" I stopped him. He stuffed popcorn in his mouth.
"You're worse than your mother." I suddenly said. He gulped it down.
"Is my poetry that bad? I guess I should just stick to the plain 'I love you, but I'm not going to waste my time for a poem that doesn't amount to even a one trinity of our love' for Psyche, huh?" I raised an eyebrow.
"That's actually good." More popcorn stuffing. I looked at him, amazed of his stomach's capacity.
"Tmaoo nerry mush."
"What?"
More gulping.
Choking.
Heimlich maneuver by me.
Coughing.
Sputtering.
Breathing.
"Thank you very much." He said. I grunted.
"You really need to work on your communicating skills. It's like I'm talking to a Neanderthal. 'Hello, me man. You ape We grunt. I happy. You grumpy'." He started cracking up. I growled, which made him laugh even more.
"Hades, for someone so serious, you make me laugh so hard."
"Did you just come here to harass me Eros?" I growled and barred my fangs. He shrank away and dropped his popcorn.
"N-no. I-I wanted y-you to see something." He trembled.
"What. Is. It?" I said slowly and cornered him in a corner. He gulped.
"It's not something I can easily move." I moved away from him suddenly, making him flinch again.
"Lead on." He gulped and nodded. He started towards the stables.
"Is this going to take long?" I asked suddenly.
"Yes, duh! Anyway, I want to test drive your horse!" I grabbed his shoulder before he could run towards her, causing him to fall.
"NO ONE rides her except me, got that?" I said, menacingly. He smiled.
"So, she's your wife?" asked he. I growled, effectively frightening him again. I stood up and headed for my horse, Eros following behind me.
"Why do you want me to see this 'thing'? It is no importance of me." Eros twiddled his thumbs.
"Ah, but it is. Persephone might be in danger Hades." I whirled around to face him, fear gripping my heart. He bumped into me, uttering a small "oof", and fell.
"What do you mean? How do you know? Are you sure? Is this some sick joke?" I asked. I picked him up and began shaking him. He raised a hand and I stopped trying to wring out the immortality within him.
"First of all; are my jokes really sick? Sure I get bored easily, but I do have morals-," I began to shake him even more until he raised his hand again.", "Secondly; no this is not 'some sick joke'", He said with air quotation marks, "third of all, I am pretty damn sure of seeing 2 men, a map, a kidnapping plan for Persephone labeled as 'Persephone' heading towards her and her mother's mansion, and finally, what do you mean about not knowing the meaning of her being in danger? Sheesh Hades, I thought you were smart." He said and rolled his eyes. I ignored my urge to shake him again and took in a deep breath.
"Were they mortal, or immortal?" I asked.
"Do I look like a god detector? Of course not, so I would have to dangerously say that I don't know. Now, be the kind person you are and let go of my shirt." He said and pointed to my clenched hands.
I dropped him.
"I said kind, not cold!" I ignored him and walked quickly to my horse. Once arriving there, I quickly got on her back and awaited Eros near the door. He rode his brown and white male horse next to mine when I saw that the horse was a gelding.
"Gods, Eros, you took off his manliness!" I exclaimed before thinking
"Hades, if I didn't take off his 'manliness' he would be all over your horse." I eyed his horse carefully and moved my horse a couple of steps away from it.
"Don't worry, the only thing this guy's addicted to now is carrots, I can assure you of that." He said and patted the fat animal's wide neck.
"Whatever you say." I said, but I could tell that his horse hasn't forgotten anything. It snorted and moved closer to my horse. Eros was grinning madly.
"Move." I growled.
"Yes sir!" He said and put his hand up in a mock salute. I groaned and rolled my eyes. Everything else seemed to go in a blur quickly.
He suddenly began to speed towards the exit. I followed in hot pursuit while trying to resist the urge to use my powers to make a gap in the earth and dump Eros and his horse in it. Eros glanced back at me and grinned wildly. I ignored him and looked towards the road to find........
