I have gotten used to the Underworld. I grew to love this place, I wasn't scared anymore.

I woke up happily today. Why? It's because I get to see my fiance. Yes, my fiance. I'm glad I accepted the marriage. I'm glad I'll be the one who'll make Hades smile. Imagining another girl making Hades smile sickens me. 'I wouldn't let anyone steal Hades from me,' I thought as I brushed my hair.

Suddenly, a nymph came in my room. "Lady Hecate, King Hades is expecting you to be at the dining room," I heard her say. "Alright," I came in the dining room. "Looking lovely today," Hades complimented. "Thanks, I guess," I blushed. "Do you know why I asked you to be here this early?" The go of the Underworld asked. "No," I wondered if this was an important matter.

"We're getting married in two months," Hades announced. My jaw dropped. I do love Hades, but I'm not ready for this. It felt like crushing my head on a wall after hearing that 'important announcement'. "Will you accept this my dear Hecate?" He sounded so possessive when he asked that. I know he wouldn't let me slip of his fingers.

Never.

I spent so much time with Hades and he understood me so much. He was the only person who knew my feelings. Because of that, I trust him. "Yes, I accept," I replied. "I thought you would say no," Hades hugged me. "Why would I say no to you?" I laughed. "I don't know, I just thought," he blushed. "Here," Hades slipped a ring on my finger, " I hope you like it." The ring was gold and had rubies and diamonds on it. "I love it," I said as I admired my ring.

After Hades gave me the ring, we went to the Upper World.


We sat on the grassy meadows and enjoyed each others company. I laid my head on his lap. "I want us to be like this forever," Hades wished. "We will stay like this," I assured. "What if you had someone else?" he sounded worried. "Why would I have someone else? I already have you," I said. He gave me a pat on the head and kissed my forehead. "I-I l-love y-you," Hades stammered. "Of course I do," I giggled. "Then say you love me," he said. "I love you, I love you more than anyone," I said shyly.

The sun started setting. The colors red, orange, and yellow spread across the sky. I was picking flowers at that time. I found the prettiest rose and grabbed it. I ran to Hades and tried to show the flower. "Hades, don't you think rose is lovely?" He didn't hear me. "I said, do you think this rose is pretty?" He still didn't hear me. "Hades!" I tried to catch his attention. I looked at the direction he was staring at. He was staring at a girl. Or was it a tree? I grabbed his arm. "What were you asking me?" Finally, he wasn't spacing out anymore. "Let's just go home," I insisted.

Meanwhile...

The Fates were doing there usual job. Clotho spun the thread, Lachesis measured the thread of life, and Atropos took some lives away by cutting the thread. As the two other Fates were doing there job, Clotho was looking at the crystal ball. "What are you looking at," Lachesis asked. "You know, the cute couple," Clotho said. "Well it looks boring," Lachesis said while twirling her hair. "I know how to make everything interesting," Atropos batted her lashes. "I like the sound of that!" Clotho exclaimed. It looks like the Fates were planning something.


'Hades had been acting weird lately after we went to the Upper World,' I thought. Why was he acting like this?

I went to the gardens and saw Hades holding something. I came closer. He was holding a lily. Why was he staring at it like that? Was he thinking about me? "I'm not sure if she would like you, but I'll deal with it," I heard him say. "I won't allow anyone to hurt you no matter what, not even her," he stared at the flower. "If she hurts you, she'll pay the price," he kissed the lily. That was odd. Who was he talking about? "Hades, what are you holding?" I said trying to sound innocent. "N-nothing!" he said and hid the the flower. "Just give me some privacy, alright?" Did he just drive me away? Fine! If he wants privacy with that dumb flower, I'll give him privacy.

I went back to my room. Before that, I heard some servants talking. "No, she has amber eyes. The king wants to give a dress that matches her well," I heard a servant say. I don't have amber eyes, I have bluish green ones. "She loves lilies. Add some of them on her dress," I heard another one say. I don't like lilies. I don't like the sound of this.

I arrived in my room and saw a scroll resting on my bed. It had to do with witchcraft and dark magic. I was curious, so I read it. I tried practicing it. I learned how to destroy everything and create darkness. I thought about what the servants said a while ago. Now, I will destroy those in my path. I have merged with darkness. After reading that scroll, all of my naivety was gone.

Hades is hiding something from me, I know it. With the power I hold right now, no one can stop me no matter what. I won't allow anything to come between me and Hades.

I would even have to murder if I needed to...


BTW the Fates aren't old in this story and please make a review! :D
