Hello my lovelies! I am so tired but I am really loving my job. I hope everyone's week has been full with nothing but blessings and happiness. If you had a bad week I am sorry and I hope it gets better. Hopefully this chapter will make your day or week better.

Enjoy!


I smiled into the bright blue sky as I spun in circles happily in the grass. It was a warm day and Angela had let me go from my studies. I could hear the birds flying around me as the smaller animals scurried about.

"Isabella!"

I turned to see my mother standing in the distance. Her hair was beautifully draped over her shoulders as her dress unashamedly showcased her figure. She lifted her arms as if she wanted to hug me and smiled.

I could feel a giggle form in my throat as I moved towards her at a fast pace. "Mother!" I had missed her so much and was glad my friend was back.

The faster I ran, the more clear her features became. My heart was beating rapidly in my chest and happiness surged through me.

But all of a sudden the sky became dark and grey and thunder and lighting flashed across the sky. I stopped just a few meters from my mom. I grew scared for the storm that was brewing.

"Mother we need to go." I said as I looked around me and back to her. But she didn't move. Her arms still opened toward me and the smile on her face. "Mother? Did you not hear me? We have to go." But still she didn't budge.

I took a couple steps towards her and then everything began to shake. I could barely keep myself up when the ground in front of my mother began to crumble beneath her and come my way. I fell back and tried to crawl to safety but the felt myself falling. I reached for my mom but she just stayed in the same position.

"Mother!" I screamed with all the air in my lungs but nothing.

I could see her silhouette begin to disappear as the hole began to close around her and a voice so terrifying and evil sound around me.

"MINE!"

My heart banged in my chest and air forced itself into my lungs and my eyes flew open. It took a minute for my vision to adjust but when it did I felt confused. I could hear fire crackling somewhere around me but what held my attention was the orange and red glow shimmering on the ...fabric?

I stared at the dancing shadows in front of me til my eyesight adjusted to the semi dark lighting. Above me hung black fabric probably six feet from where I was currently laying.

My room had lavender sheets with beige walls. This is not my room.

My head began to pound the more I started thinking. I went to rub my forehead when I felt nothing but softness stroke my skin. I sat up a bit and saw nothing but black silk sheets. This is definitely not my bed.

My heart raced faster as I looked around me. The room was grande. Although it was dark I could see the silhouette of a red and gold chaise, a table and a large rug near a flickering fireplace.

"You're awake."

I felt the hair on my body rise as a voice almost as silent as a whisper sound in the room. Even if I couldn't see myself, I knew some color had left my face. After a couple of silent seconds I slowly turned my head behind me and saw a shadow sitting in the farthest corner of the room near a door. For a long time I just looked at him. After sometime I saw two piercing red dots and I realized those must have been his eyes.

Looking into those eyes made my head spin. I groaned as I placed my hand on my head and rubbed my temples as the pain only got worse.

My toes touched the soft grass I ran

A Narcissist flower

Two black, winged horses

an arm grab me

a menacing laugh

"Mother..."

It all came back to me at that moment. The pain instantly ceased as I covered my mouth with my hand to stifle my gasp.

"I see you remembered everything." The voice said again.

I looked back to the shadowy figure and saw that he inched closer but stayed within the shadows. I didn't want this man to get any closer to me but at the same time I wanted to see the person who had the audacity to kidnap me from my home.

"Who are you?" I tried t ask in a confident and calm tone but it ended up sounding scared and broken. Exactly how I was feeling inside but tried to hide.

I heard him chuckle as he closed his eyes and took a step towards me. "I have had many names in my life. You might have heard a few during your lifetime." He step to the left as if coming towards the front of the huge bed.I pulled my knees to my chest. I felt safer and concealed that way. Although he closed his eyes form time to time they were still glued to me once they opened and I felt like a piece of chicken to a hungry man. "But you my beauty can call me Hades."

My skin grew cold.

"Yo-You're Hades?" I stuttered.

He chuckled and edged closer to the bed but still hidden in the shadows. Every story and rumor I remembered my mother and Angela telling me came to my mind.

"Why am I here?" I asked releasing my shoulders. I couldn't seem like a scared child. Although I was anxious and scared but my mother instilled in me to never cower before my enemy. Still he was a god and I a mere demigod but I had to be brave. Or at least tell myself that.

He took only three steps and stood in front of the bed, removing himself from the darkness. His skin was pale with almost a grayish tint to it. He was muscular but they weren't overpowering. I could see his uncovered chest was clean of hair. His hair and beard were the same color. Like orange and red blended together. His beard was long enough to cover his chin but looked well groomed and trimmed. His hair flowed behind his back and rested on his shoulders. His features were sharp and angular. I had never seen Hades before nor heard of a description of him, except a demon from hell itself. But looking at him now, I didn't expect him to look...normal. The way people had spoken about him I thought he would be an animal or creature.

He placed his knee on the black sheets and and began to crawl towards me. Fear returned full force as I scrambled backwards trying to escape from him coming closer. Once I felt my back hit a wall I hugged my knees to my chest but kept my eyes on him. Afraid that if I looked away he would do something worse. Slowly, he crawled closer to me.

"I have never before seen such beauty." He whispered to me as his red eyes pierced mine. I swallowed as his left hand raised itself from the sheets and came towards me. I watched him as his hand came dangerously close to my neck and I flinched back. However, he didn't seemed fazed by my reaction and just continued his journey. I could feel the heat from his fingers reach past my neck and softly grab a lock of my hair and pull it towards him. I froze as he inspected my hair. "Everything about you enchanted me. Your long, silk-like hair." He had the end of my hair in between his fingertips and let it slip from his grasp. His eyes returned to mine.

"Your beauty cannot even compare to Aphrodite herself. And to answer your question. It is quite simple really. Someone as beautiful as you should not be free to seduce other men as you have done me. You are here to be mine. Your body...I shall enjoy most."

I felt my eyes widen as anger flared within my chest. He dares to touch my body?! How dare he!

"You pig!" I screamed as I lifted my hand from my knee and used all the strength I had to slap his face. But he just bellowed out a laugh and grabbed my hand midair and pulled me forward unto his chest. "Unhand me!" i screamed as I clawed and hit him. He laughed harder as he laid my back upon the bed and used his upper body to pin me. Despite the fear replacing my anger, I refused to stop fighting. I did not wish to have my virginity taken from me. I always wanted to give it freely to a man I loved.

His laughter finally subsided as he looked at me with a smile on his lips but something brewed within his eyes. "No my dear beauty. I am no pig. For I shall not take you this way."

I stopped upon hearing his words and looked at him. Altough his eyes held mischief I could sense he was not lying. "You wil become my bride of course"

"You are insane!" I yelled. "Once my mother finds me, she will unleash her wrath upon you!" I began to struggle again.

"Oh I'm afraid that's where you are wrong Isabella. Your mother will never know where you are. No one knows where you are. No help is coming for you."

I froze and slowly looked at him. I could sense no lies within his words.

Then he kissed me.


Okay that was something wasn't it? I know its such a cliffhanger but I promise that its only going to get better from here.
