Hello m lovelies! I know its been a long time since my last updated but I am in the midst of writing 2 one-shot stories and I want to make sure they are perfect before I release them. But I do miss writing this story and want to give you guys another chapter.

Enjoy!

BPOV

We walked a long while. I made sure to stay a good distance away so that I couldn't trip him but I didn't want to be lost either. I just stared at his bouncing hair as we walked. Occasionally he would peek behind him to make sure I was following him. We took so many turns I was lost in my own head. It would be very stupid if I tried to escape from him now.

After a long time he finally stopped in front of two very large wooden doors. He stood still for a moment and then turned to look at me. His face was serious but not mean. I kept my hands by my side as I refused to toy with them. A nervous habit of mine.

"You can stay here for some time. This is a place I like to visit when I need to be alone. I hope you will come to enjoy this place as well." He said and then he placed his hand upon one of the doors and pushed it open but only a couple inches. "I will give you some time alone." He finished as he took a step back.

"You are not coming in with me?" I asked perplexed. He asks me to walk with him just so he can leave me in an unknown room?

He shook his head and looked back into my eyes. "You should be able to enjoy some time from me. I will be in some time later." He motioned me to open the door. I was hesitant. How could I trust his word? He could have easily led me to my death. I refused to move but my curiosity was getting to me. I had to know what was behind the door. Cautiously I took a step towards the door but kept my eyes on him. If he moved so much as an inch I would run. But he just stayed his ground as I moved closer and closer to the door.

Once I was close to the door I swallowed and placed both hands on the wood and turned from him. I didn't move for a couple seconds. I was listening out for him. It was so quiet I could only hear my slightly labored breathing. I blinked my eyes and pushed. It wouldn't budge. I pushed using all the strength in my body and it only moved about a foot. It wasn't much but it was enough for me to fit through. I took a deep breath and poked my head through.

Oh my...

It was a garden..no...a field. Grass and flowers everywhere. So many flowers. Some I recognized and others I didn't. It truly was beautiful. I turned back to see if Hades was still there but he was gone. I looked all around the hallway and wondered where he went for the hallway was long and there was nowhere to hide. But I remembered what he said about giving me some time for myself. He was...he was showing me kindness? I shook my head and slid through the gap between the doors. Once I was inside the door slammed shut behind me. My heart raced at the booming sound that echoed around me. I turned back and saw no handles.

I would have probably screamed but then I realized where I was. I turned and took a step forward. The grass felt so familiar and crisp. Like the morning sun shining upon dewy grass. The air was slightly chilly but not enough to raise my goose pimples. I took another step forward. And then another. And another to the point to where I was running. I could feel wind on my skin and my heart beating wildly in my chest. The grass crunching beneath my toes as I dodged flowers and small trees around me.

I closed my eyes and just felt. It had been so long since I just ran wildly with nature around me. I could feel warmth in the pit of my stomach as the corner of my lips turned up slightly.

I missed this so much.

And then I felt something grab my leg and I opened my eyes but quickly closed them once my body hit the ground. I panicked and opened my eyes to see that I tripped on a Hydrangea bush and now pink petals were falling on me. The first time since my kidnapping that I allowed to run freely in a beautiful garden and I trip on a flower bush. And I don't know why but..I began to laugh. I tried to cover my mouth with my hand to stifle the sound but I just laughed harder as my stomach began to cramp and tears leaked from my eyes.

I didn't know why this made me laugh so much but it was the first time in a long while that I genuinely laughed.

EPOV

I had never seen her laugh before.

I thought to myself as she laid on the Hydrangea bush while her laughter filled the massive room. In two short minutes she smiled more than I thought one could. Her laugh was beautiful, just like the rest of her. After sometimes she finally picked herself up and brush the petals and leaves from her dress and hair. She didn't run but continued to walk ahead, exploring the area like a babe who just learned to walk.

Being the King of the Underworld had its advantages. I had the ability to hide in the shadows which made it easier to watch Isabella as she roamed my personal garden. I had to work to attend too and I just wanted to see how she really acts when in her element. I don't know who long I watched her but she was truly fascinating. She would see one flower and then become all excited about it. She would spout some knowledge she gained about it and then become sidetracked with another flower and spew more knowledge. If she saw a flower she didn't recognize she would bite her lip and think really hard. She would then shake her head and smile and smell its scent. I could see grass and dirt staining her silk own but she never fussed over it. In fact I think she ignored it. How odd, Alice would have screamed at the sight of a crumb on her gown. Her hair was in disarray and her feet were beginning to turn brown from all the dirt she walked on. Her fingertips were also lightly coated with dirt but she would just rub them on her gown. Could she not be anymore beautiful?

I sighed just as my stomach began to growl. Is it time to eat already? Have I been here this long? I closed my eyes and stepped out of the shadows, finally showing myself. Isabella was hunched over another bush and sniffing loudly. I could feel my mouth curving upwards at her childishness but it pleased me.

I straightened my back and kept my face neutral. "Isabella." I said calmly as to not scare her. I could see her jump as she stood up and turned fully towards me. Her eyes were wide and her mouth slightly opened. "It is time to eat. You've been here a long time." I motioned her to follow me as began to walk towards the doors. I didn't look behind me but I felt as if she was following me. After about twenty minutes later we finally made it to my bedroom door. I opened the door and motioned her inside as I stayed in the archway. "I will send Alice to prepare a bath for you. Once you are washed, supper will be ready for you here." She didn't look me in the eye but she nodded her head. I nodded back and turned to close the door.

"Um...thank you." I heard her say just as the door was about to close. I wasn't expecting her to thank me. Hell I wasn't expecting her to even talk to me.

I stood there for a couple seconds and then replied back, "You are welcome." With that I closed the door but didn't move. I could only hope that this will lead to a different future between us.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It's about time these characters stop hating each other and move down the path of love!
