I woke with a start as the driver yelled something at another driver. I looked at the lawyer, yawning.
"Where are we?" The lawyer looked at me, frowning.
"Where do you think, stupid girl?" He snarled.
"You should know." He added. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Where are we?" I repeated.
"Las Vegas." He snarled again. I rolled my eyes again.
"Sorry." I said sarcastically. The lawyer frowned at me and mumbled something to the driver. The driver nodded and did something that made me shattered, because before I knew it, I was asleep again.

I woke up, bright lights hurting my eyes. I groaned loudly.
"The hell?" I moaned. The lawyer didn't say anything but dragged me into his casino. He said something to one of the employees and they nodded. The lawyer left soon after. The employe, who was a blonde, blue eyed girl, smiled at me.
"Welcome to the casino, I'm your guide, Amelia. Now here is your room key, casino card, which will pay for all your food, drinks and games and stuff, and here's the map of the place. It's huge!" She was way to happy for my liking. She handed me the key, card and map. Then lead me to a elevator, she pressed the top floor button. It was the 150th floor. We was there in seconds. There was two rooms on the floor. Mine was one.
"Okay, the room across from yours is mister nico's and miss Bianca's." I nodded slightly. She walked to their room and knocked on the door.
"Mister Nico, Miss Bianca?" She asked softly. Two kids walked out, one about ten, Nico, and the other maybe thirteen, Bianca.
"Hi." Nico smiled at me, Bianca nodded.
"Er, hey." I waved.
"Persephone, Persephone Jackson. But call me Peri." Nico nodded. Bianca just looked at me, giving me the 'were never going to talk so why should I' look. I rolled my eyes and walked to my room, I hadn't realised until I saw the huge fridge that I was hungry. I looked inside it had loads!
Diet and none diet coke, water, chocolate, fizzy drinks, nuts, cream, squirty cream, fruit, everything! It was amazing. I took out some squirty cream, chocolate and strawberries. I melted the chocolate in the microwave and poured it over the strawberries before I added a lot of squirty cream. I wolfed it down. I then took our a can of diet coke and downed it. I looked at the TV, my eyes widening, and sat on the bed. It was so big! I turned on the TV and flicked though the channels until I found something interesting. It was about WWII.

After the program finished, I changed. The wardrobe had everything I liked, like it was made for me. I changed out of my clothes and changed into a dark purple dress with black converse. I walked downstairs, my eyes widening as I walked into the game room. I walked around until I saw a game that took my fancy. Zombie killing game. I scanned my card, it came up with Persephone Jackson on the screen, and picked up the gun. When I picked up the gun, zombies started coming at me. I had two minutes to shoot as many as I could. I did so. I played the game again and again, trying to beat my own score. Before soon, I got top score! I kept playing the game though, it was addictive. I stopped when someone tapped my shoulder, it was nico.
"Oh, hello, Nico right?" He nodded, smiling at me.
"Y-yeah. So-sorry about Bianca. She's just o-over protective." He said softly, stuttering slightly.
"It's fine, really." I smiled at him and ruffled his hair. I wanted to say 'now leave and let me play my game' but I thought it would be rude. Though, Nico understood the look in my eyes and smiled, before he walked off to some kids, who were playing with a card game. I played the game for hours, food and drinks coming whenever I needed it. Though, I never found the need for the bathroom. I yawned softly, after many an hour, and walked to my room. I changed into a blue night dress and lay on the bed, sleeping instantly.


"Luke!" I giggled and hugged Luke form behind, he looked older and he had a scar on his face. He tuned to face me, smiling.
"Peri!" He mimicked my tone and picked me up, spinning me around. I giggled again. Then noticed, I looked older. Maybe a year or two. But that's all. I caressed the scar on his face gently.
"you don't have to do it. Don't do what he wants." I whispered, tears welling in my eyes.
"I have too, babe, you know I do." He kissed my forehead.
"Luke, I-" he cut me off.
"Enough, peri. I've made my chose." He snapped.


I woke up with a start, sweating. What the hell was my dream about? I walked to my bathroom, showered, and came out. I changed into a pair of jeans and a baggy shirt. I didn't realise until that dream, how much I missed Luke. I mean, I had been gone hours. But I missed him so much. And the dream made me think. Will he be a big part of my life? I sighed and walked down to the game room, trying to get my mind off Luke.


Declaimer: I only own Persephone.
Do you like it? So maybe the hours where days or weeks. Because remember, in the casino time goes slowly. Very slowly.
