Hades POV

...branches, twigs and some unfortunate nests nearly missing my head and I began to doubt if Eros really saw the idiots. After all, it is in Love's nature to see things..and talk and act funny.

"Hey, what are you telling the author?" He shouted and ducked.

"Who?" I shouted back. He hesitated.

"Never mind, you won't be able to understand."

"What are you talking about? You know, Psyche isn't going to be happy when I tell her that you're seeing someone." I smiled ruthlessly.

"Let's get back to getting hit by these wood nymphs." I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever."

My horse began to slowly slow down to a trot for some odd reason. I let it do it's thing though as Eros sped away, becoming a speck in the distance. I sat in the saddle uselessly and decided to jump off and walk toward wherever Eros was when I heard a Greek swear followed by snickers. I ran quickly toward the horizon, the wind gently pushing me towards Eros. I sighed and quickened my pace as the wind began to push me even more fiercely towards him. I was deciding whether or not to make a friendly hand gesture to Notus, when I heard Eros cry out.

"My shirt! My favorite shirt!"

I snorted and moved towards him, guiding my horse to a shady area where Apollo's rays wouldn't sunburn her fair skin. A rather large log was blocking the path in a most peculiar way as I scanned the forest and up and down the path.

"Your horse is afraid of fallen trees?" Eros was still on the floor complaining.

"Huh? No! He just got a scent of something and started galloping off in the forest, kicking me off in the process. Now these wood nymphs are laughing at me." He said and started shooting glares at the trees. Snickering surrounded us. I grew annoyed by their noises.

"Begone you evil sprites or I'll make sure Aphrodite turns you into ugly old hags!" Eros thundered when his face started growing red. They started to sound hysterical.

"Go...now." I hissed. The snickering stopped and the sound of a few dozen nymph feet thundered through the forest, the trees shaking violently in fright until only a few sounds of feet could be heard.

"That's better." I sighed and rubbed my eyes.

"Do you think those thugs could've done this?" I asked while Eros was poking at the holes and rips in his shirts.

"Are you talking to me?" I closed my eyes.

"No, I'm just talking to myself." He turned around so he could he lay on his back and look up at the clouds.

"Yea, they probably did." He munched on some candy. We were suddenly silent when a sudden revelation occurred.

"But why would they want to place a log here, on Demeter's road?" Eros rolled his eyes.

"Duh, Kore lives here." He said. I ignored him.

"Persephone wouldn't want to face her mother...." I trailed off a bit. I looked at down at Eros when I saw that he was looking at me strangely.

"And you got this from only a few hours from her?"

"Shut up."

He looked suddenly interested and in a matter of seconds had his face in his hands while lying on his stomach, ignoring his torn shirt.

"REALLY? So, what's your next step? Stalking? I can help you, I'm really good at it!"

"I bet you are." I muttered under my breath.

"What, Sorry I didn't get that."

"I said we should call Athena." I said a bit loudly.

"Athena? Why her?"

"Elementary, Eros. Athena is Persephone's friend. Persephone was upset and ran off. Athena had a cellphone in her hand which equals "girl time"."

"And you know that how?"

"Chick flicks with Sharon." I shuddered.

"Don't you mean Charon?"

"Why does everyone think she's male?" I growled. He shrugged and began looking at his nails.

"I wonder what Kore would say-"

"Don't you dare-"

"Gotcha. So, she IS important to you. Hmm...maybe I should look into this more."

I turned away from him, fed up by the audacity of his mind. How dare he think Sharon as something more than the emotions I feel for Persephone, but then again, he may just be trying to information from me. I rubbed my head and began to pace back and forth, trying to calm myself so I wouldn't squeeze the immortality out of him, not that it wouldn't have been difficult, but the Fates would have been angry if I killed someone and to tell you the truth, Atropos scared me a little.

To The Fates.....

Clotho was in a fit a giggles, as Atropos fumed silently underneath the cover of shadows.

"That isn't funny." She said quietly.

Lachesis was deep in thought as she sat near her glass. She popped a grape into her mouth and chewed it slowly. Atropos looked her way and scowled when she finally realized what her sister was thinking.

"Don't you dare, Lachesis. Don't you dare ruin this."

"But we have to make sure he loves her, right?"

"Not this way." She whispered threateningly.

"Well too bad. My powers, my rules." She drew out Hades and Persephone's intertwined spools and cut off a tiny sliver of thread with her own scissors marked "A".

Atropos walked backwards, creeping closer and closer to the shadowed wall until neither of her feet could be seen. A shimmering of the spool she held in her hands could be seen faintly as she pulled out her wicked shears and ran the sharp side up and down her sister's line. Lachesis shivered......
