Hades POV
"Wouldn't you like to continue playing mind games with me?" She is bold, but I definitely feel a hint of evasiveness in her tone. I will make her regret that. I drop her hand.
"Alright, mind games it is." I say bowing, and then disappearing into the wind.
"Hades! I have no idea how to get out of here!" She calls.
"You said mind games," I say to her right. Instinctively she turns. "But I suggest following my voice." I taunt, now on her left. She groans and stops her foot.
"Persephone? Are you coming?" I call from a few feet away from her. She glares in my general direction and follows, or more listens.
"Persephone," to the right.
"Hurry up." Left.
"Not so far," Back.
Right, foreword, left, back, right, forward, left, foreword , until we reach a small clearing. I appear in front of her again, making her jump.
"Don't DO that!" She screams. I merely laugh.
"You said mind games. I cannot be held responsible for doing as you wish." I'm teasing her now. "Now, before we go, a flower for the spring goddess?" I say suggestively, holding out a small pink rose. She takes it, checking for any visible trickery. There definitely is, but she won't see this. But it passes her inspection, and she accepts the petals with a cautious smile, tucking it behind her ear. Almost immediately I see her balance falter. She falls into my arms, eyes closed and in a deep sleep. In the sky, the moon is directly overhead. I have to get moving, by now they have inevitably noticed her disappearance. I call my chariot and open a portal to the underworld, and before anyone knows, we've disappeared into the land of darkness.
