My body finally relaxed and I took a deep breath, pushing myself off the ground. My love's laughter rang in my ears, and I looked up to see him standing just outside his castle doors. Hekate stood surrounded by her mists, she seemed to be withering before me.
"Oh, little Hekate, your mind wanders does it not?" his voice bordered on cruel humor as it boomed through the Underworld and sent shivers down all who heard. Even the souls seemed to turn to him in fear. Hekate was growing paler and paler, her bones showing more and more.
Hades, my love, seemed to get darker as he took a step. His clothes looked more like leather armor, and then black raven wings seemed to appear from behind his back, his hands which he raised in gesture to his world like claws. "I am King here, I am your ruler whether above or below, I'm the King of the dead, the Lord of Nightmares, the Ruler of Terror, I am the God of the Underworld. Bow to me as is your place," he drew one claw down sharply and Hekate landed hard against the ground. "Do you feel that Hekate?" He stepped closer to her bending down to whisper, "That is me, I am draining every ounce of your power that you thought to use, I call it to me, because it is mine! You forgot that Hekate." he rose high, his wings spreading behind him. He looked every inch the terrifying monster everyone made him, but when his solid black eyes rose to me, I wanted to take him in my arms and worship him with my love. "You touched that which is mine and now you shall be punished," he hissed through what was now fangs. "You shall remain for eternity in the walls of Tartarus, trapped so that only your eyes can watch the pain, the torture surrounding you." He bent again, "And it all belongs to me, you shall never again feed off that which was never yours." He snapped his fingers, and her broken body disappeared.
I pushed myself up, running into his strong arms. He caught me keeping his sharp claws from me, and I pressed my mouth to his, my tongue to his, grazing a fang. We kissed and this time we both tasted my blood, my love, his love, and I felt him tighten his hold, groaning with pleasure against me. His wings seemed to flutter with pleasure. I pulled away to look into his solid black eyes.
Grinning, I ran my hand across his jaw, "Your quite terrifying."
He laughed, then whispered into my ear, "Is that why I can smell your desire from here?" I blushed and buried my head into his neck. "I'm sorry to show you like this." I shook my head, it didn't matter to me, it was still my love. "It's just one of my many forms." he sounded so unsure.
I leaned back, "Then your going to have to let me try each and every one."
Forgotten by both, Demeter rose to find her daughter in the arms of a monster. "Let her go you Demon!" she screamed yanking Persephone behind her. "You should be gutted and stripped of everything! How could you touch my daughter?" Hades, snapped his fingers, changing into his normal self to stare Demeter down. Neither were backing down, neither giving and inch, and I realized it was over.
