I own nothing
Needless to say Pain and Panic were once again a walking sunburn or Hades burn. They also avoid Persephone for two months. Eleven months had past in her year here. Persephone and Hades were nearly inseparable. Today as Hades sat on his throne hearing case after case Persephone was in slinky black dress draped over Hades's lap. When no one else was in the room she played with his hair of flames. Their relationship had grown but they had not consummated their relationship. Her locks were a rich reddish brown hair hung off the side of Hades throne. She wore a skin tight black dress that was see-through past her knees. Her skin in the close to a year had gone from a bright teal to a pale blue green color. The flowers that normally were present in her hair were replaced with sparkling black diamonds. Her appearance had changed so much that most of the Olympian god would not recognize her. Hades lazily played with one of her curls that hung around her face.
"I love you my lord" Persephone whispered.
"And I you my flower"
"I know you would do anything for me right love"
"If it with my power babe"
"I know what I want"
"What?"
"I want to stay with you forever"
"Babe, you can't love"
"What?" Persephone screeched.
Within second she rose from his lap. Her hair flared out around her like fire. Persephone quickly stormed down the stair and out of the throne room leaving a shocked Hades in her wake. Sparks seem to form in her hands. Vines shot out the ground as she walked. She could careless where she was going. She was determine to find away to stay with him weather if he wanted her or not. The flowers in her hair disappeared and in their place a crown of pure silver with black diamonds. As she pasted souls all bowed to her. No dared come near her in this state. Persephone entered a world of the depth of the underworld. The atmosphere went from the neutral to very dark and evil atmosphere.
She found a spot away from everything. The spot was surrounded by darkness. The ground was deep fiery orange. The sound of mortal screams echo through this world. She huddled into herself and started to cry out her hurt and anger.
"What wrong my child?" An eerie grandfather like voice called.
"Nothing you can help me with" she replied
"Maybe I can my dear"
The voice reminded Persephone of Zeus voice combined with Hades. She knew she should be wary of this voice. And yet, this voice many hold the answers she needed.
"There is no way to make me stay in the underworld forever."
"Of course there is darling"
"What"
"Honestly what do they teach you now a days? Anybody who eats the food of the dead must stay in the underworld for all eternity."
"Where do I get this food?"
"I will help you with that but first you must tell me who you are?"
Persephone could careless who this voice was. He was offering to solve all her problems. This rule could help her go over Hades head.
"Persephone daughter of Demeter and Zeus"
"Well Persephone it is a pleasure to help you, darling"
An odd shaped red fruit rolled over to Persephone. The fruit was mostly rounded but had a small circular top with made not completely round. That small top was place that the fruit was attached to the tree. Persephone took the fruit in her hands. And the fruit broke open revealing thousands upon thousands of tiny red jewel like seeds. She slowly brought the fruit to her lips. Her hands were stained red. Blood like liquid poured from her lips. Six seeds fell down her throat. Persephone felt no different but she knew this moment had changed her life forever.
"Thank you"
As Persephone rose the fruit disappeared. She went back out of this realm of the underworld. On her way back to the palace she ran into Pain and Panic. She made the flowers reappeared when became close to the palace. They both looked at her red stain face and hands.
"What did you do?"Pain yelled.
"That is none of your concern" Persephone yelled back.
"You will find it is" Pain yelled.
"Pain you will find that I don't need Hades to defend me"
The sparks reappeared as her temper rose. The red stains on her hands disappeared.
"You are nothing but trouble since you came here."
"Really now, Panic come here for a second"
Panic walked over to Persephone. He had learned from the last roasting not to cross blades with Hades's girl. Within seconds the sparks turned into a ball of pure energy. Pain was energy roasted. Pain was moaning in pain when she finally stopped.
"When did you learn that" Panic asked
"My temper"
"What did you do?"
"Ate the fruit of the dead"
Pain was moaning in pain when he heard that statement. It snapped all the pain out of his body. He was filled with sense of dread.
"Hades is going to kill us when he find out" Panic said
"You mean if he find out" Pain stated
"If? If is good"
"Enough! You two just get me into my room"
