Shadow
When darkness comes to light
Second Chance
Hades asked if I minded he leaf through my journals. I said that it wasn't a problem, and after around 8 minutes he said "Wait, who is this love of yours?" Hades said. "Deleástria" I said, "Why?" What Hades said next shocked me. "Then the woman you lost, is not lost at all. I found this place once before, but in a different state. She was on the cusp of dieing, I had to save her but I could see that someone else had been tending to her, so I conjured a hyper-realistic version of Deleástria. I took her with me and when I left, I tended to her wounds. she was in a coma for about 2 weeks.
"After that, she cried, all day and all night with the only exceptions when she had food in her mouth, and afterwards she continued with renewed vigor. Three days had passed when she finally stopped crying, then I entered her room and asked her what her name was. She could only managed 1 word, 'Temptress'. I didn't understand at the time, so I asked if anyone was tending to her, and she shook her head yes. She only started really talking a week ago, but she obviously still doesn't trust me."
My body visibly loosened, just like when I shrugged off the sky. "I can't believe she's alive. And as for why this place is underwater now, that is because I rushed water down from top-world when I thought she was dead." I said, "How long until you're ready to leave?"
"Right now" He replied "Then lets go!" I shouted. We left and as soon as my home for so long had disappeared from view, he teleported us to his throne room. He had his servants bring Deleástria into the room. As soon as she saw me, she ran over and hugged me.
"Percy, Percy, I missed you so much, I wish I never left you, but I couldn't move in the state I was in. Hades he… He…" At that point I consoled her, telling her that it wasn't her fault and that if Hades hadn't saved her she would've died. Then she looked into my eyes and, like always, she saw what I was feeling. "Percy, I can still see the hate in you, but it no longer controls you, you no longer feel it. I-" But she was cut off by a kiss, one initiated by her, without even thinking about it.
"Deleástria, I love you" I said after breaking off the kiss. "I want to be with you forever, but I still need to get revenge against Annabeth, and get exonerated for my 'crimes'" Deleástria said "I understand, but I don't care. I want to be with you, tonight, and forever." The last part she whispered in my ear.
I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She nodded.
Hey, the next part you guys can skip over, it's just a filler chapter, and literotica. Also, the chapter after that won't be much, but then it will get really dark. Suicide, anger, the good stuff. Sorry about these ones. I can't write currently.
