(I own no characters in this chapter)

Persephone POV:

I wake up, still sweaty from my nightmare. I'm breathing heavily, and can't seem to stop crying. I had flashbacks to getting kidnapped.

I never wanted to marry Hades, but here I am, walking out of our bedroom. It's super early and still dark, so no one's awake. I sneak around the maze of hallways, heading from the North wing to the West wing. It's dark in the castle, with the midnight blue walls and brown flooring. Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous, but it feels stuffy in here.

I reach the door to the garden and open it. The fresh air and moonlight immediately make me feel better. I take a deep breath and start walking down the stone path, still in my nightgown. A light breeze hits me, making me shiver.

I walk towards the white lilies, looking for a bench to sit on. When I finally find one, I sit down and pick a big, droopy lily. I admire its beauty. I love flowers, just like my mother does. She wanted to build a home in the biggest flower field. That's why her kingdom is called Flower Kingdom. Plants and flowers are her favorite thing.

I sigh, and start braiding my hair. I should talk to Bianca, seeing how I made her so upset. I need to apologize. I should've never agreed with Hades, I know the pain of being forced to marry. I finish braiding my hair and put my lily in it. I should probably head to bed, the sun would be up in a while.

I stand up, brushing the pollen from the lily off my lap. I walk down the cold stone path. As I'm walking, I notice a dandelion. When I was a kid, there were tons of them in the fields. Me and my mother would make a wish and blow on them, and all the little seeds would fly away.

I grab the dandelion and hold it in front of my mouth. I close my eyes and make a wish, then blow. I see all the seeds fly off into the night. I hope my wish comes true. I hope Bianca forgives me.

Author's Note:

This was kind of a filler chapter. I felt bad for the last chapter being so short, so I wrote this one. I'm planning to do something with it though:)
