Chapter 10: Their Saving Grace

Chapter 10: Their Saving Grace

Pfft, thinks he can take me away from everything I love and KILL me and than say I'm not supposed to fulfill my purpose here just because he likes the dark? What an asshole!!!

Consiquences or not I will change this place! I will not live here forever in darkness, it's not right I shouldn't even be here.

Ugh why does life have to be so complicated and unfair? Why did the gods make this my fate? Are they finding some enjoyment in this?

Prudes...

After my encounter with Hades I just kept walking until I found the door to the gardens. I didn't know how I knew it was the gardens but I did.

When I pushed the door open my heart broke. Roses were always my favorite flower and that's all I can see in the garden. Roses...dead roses, lifeless roses. Roses dripping with...blood.

Why would someone take enjoyment in bleeding roses?

As I kept waking deeper and deeper onto the lifeless patch of flowers I could hear soft whimpers coming from within the depths of the roses.

At first I thought it was a person but when I looked closer I saw the roses weeping. Literally the roses were crying, sobbing and swaying back and forth.

I clutched my heart out of agony at the sight ad felt my own tears well behind my eyes.

I stepped closer and reached out to one, in hopes of giving it some comfort. Immediately it's cries of sadness broke out into fits of pain. My years spilled over and I dropped down onto my knees beside the weeping flora.

I looked down and saw that the roses were huddled around a single black red rosé that was dead and crumpled to the floor. It's petals were cracked and hanging off its stem.

My heart clenched for the little flower and I scooped it up in my hands and started to kiss it while letting my tears drip onto it. The rose seemed to suck up my tears that fell and soon the petals started to rise up and flush with color. A light blush spread throughout the little rose and soon enough it was standing tall and lively in my grip.

I looked at the flower in awe as it seemed to sway in a bowing motion. I set it back down to the ground with the color and went around touching them, whispering to them or even kissing them.

When I was finished I looked back and saw that the garden has arisen from the ashes of the dead ground and now was teaming with life and fertile soil.

I smiled and walked out of the garden and though the gate to the rocky terrain of nothingness.

This is how I will do it. One bit at a time. Heal everything little by little. No one can stop this...not even Hades!

Brushing my hair to the side I kept walking bare foot through what looks to be a rock desert? There was nothing here, just boulders, rocks and dirt.

It kind of looks like the Setreall of Abortions but its not.

As I kept walking I noticed that the rocky grounds started to become plush grass lands. Green grass sprung up from the dirty ground.

I giggled with glee and started to dance all around the plain, dancing and humming in content. When I stopped I looked out above the grass and saw what looked to be water. I jumped up and ran towards it.

When I neared the ending of the terrain I turned around one last time and saw that the once lifeless rocky steap was now a beautiful grassy meadow.

Hades will never stop this. I can't control it. Whatever I touch just comes back life. Fighting me on this will be like trying to mix water and oil. It doesn't work!

I sighed and turned around. My break caught in my throat. What I once thought was water was actually a sea of tar. Black puddles of muddy tar was spread throughout the entire sea. There were ships stuck in it, people and even animals.

I started to cry and wondered how will I heal this? What if I get stuck in it to!

And than I heard it "help us!!!" screamed the voices from within the depths of the tar and I had to. I couldn't let them suffer a fate worse then death. Not when I could save them.

And so I stuck my hands into the goo. A small sound of disgust left my lips as my hand sank lower into the tar. When I tried to retract my hand I couldn't.

I was stuck

I huffed out and plopped down onto the bank. The sand around me started to become warm and gold in color and soon enough the black tar before me started to melt away and crystal blew water washed up on shore.

Screams of joy and happiness flooded my ears as I saw the animals and people swim to shore. The people that got out were socking wet but did not look like there was any tar on them.

The animals shook there fur out and the people started to squeeze out the water from their clothing.

"thank you, thank you so much your highness!" one old lady said as she came to stop in font of me. I smiled and shooed her away, back to her family.

Little by little I began to go throughout the underworld, healing small bits and pieces of it.

I knew this would anger hades, I knew I would get in trouble and honestly...I could care less. If he wants to lol everything again let him, I'll just heal it again. And I'll do this for eternity if I have to.

As I began to walk back to the castle I got the inking feeling that I was being watched. I turned around but nothing was there. I shrugged it off and kept walking to the castle doors. And then I felt something touch me, I spun around quickly and came face to face with the Devil himself.

"I thought I told you I like it dark and lifeless. That these people deserved to suffer" he said creepily calm. I gulped and back away until I hit the door. In a flash he was in my face and had both his palms flat against the door by my head.

"I'm afraid I have no choice but to punish you my dear..."he said with a cynical grin of his lips. I shuddered in fear and looked into his eyes. They were black, lifeless and dark.

I'm really in it now...

"Yes love, oh yes you are!" He said and threw me over his shoulder. I yelped in surprise and started pounding on his back.

"Let me down this instant!" I screeched and him. I felt a rumbling under me and realized his was laughing. Not the 'haha that was a funny joke' laugh, no. This was a dark and creepy laugh that said 'you are going to DIE'.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked as we turned a corner and were heading towards a red door.

"I thought you knew! In order for our mating to be complete we have to..." He trailed, leaving me to think of what he was talking about. And than it hit me.

"Ah hell no, we are not having sex! Not after what you did to me!" I yelled and started struggling in his grip.

I heard a door open from behind me and saw him lock it once we stepped inside.

"Sorry love but you have no choice. I will have what is mine, when I want it." He whispered in my ear as he set me on the floor "and right now I want you" he purred and shoved me on the bed.

I bounced as I hit the bed and tried to get back but I was not fast enough. In a flash he was hovering over me pinning me down.

"Your not getting out of this one so easily" he said huskily and crashed his lips to mine. All thoughts of escaping vanished and I got lost in the moment, in the feel of his touch as his erotic lips on mine.

Oh boy, I'm screwed

He smirked and started to untie my corset.

I'm double screwed!
