The Son Of Hades... In LOVE?

Candles

Chapter 5:Candles

"Aaron.. where are you?"

"I'm right here." His hot voice felt like a warm blanket around me in this cold and dark room. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it, assuring me that I was safe. "Why is it so dark?" I wispered.

"It's not da-" He hesitated.. "Yeah, it is dark."'

"Close your eyes."

"What? I already can't see anything."

"Just... close your eyes."

"This is stupidity."

He chuckled and I felt his lips near my ear. "Close your eyes Sarena." His wisper was like drugs and made me high. I did what he told me to. But how could he see if I did?

A few moments later he wispered. "Now open your beautiful green eyes."

I did and...the whole place was lightened up with medievel looking candles. The room was beautiful, full of statues of gods and goddesses. "Wow." I wispered. I let go of his hand and walked closer to the statues in amazment. Then as I realised I turned around to look at him "How did you do that?"

He smirked. "Do what?"

"Um light up all of these candles!" I half smiled.

"Some things a best to keep secret." He winked at me.

I rolled my eyes, "What so your some kind of magician?"

He chuckled and frowned "Yeah I guess you could say that."

I walked up to the statue of Aphrodite. "The goddess of love and beauty." Aaron was right beside me , how did he get here so fast without making a sound?

"She's my favourite."

He looked into my eyes and smiled. He touched my cheek and wispered more to himself "If you were her daughter I wouldn't be suprised."

I pulled away "What?"

He snapped out of it and grinned. "Its called flirting Sarena."

"That was not flirting... That was more of talking to yourself in somekind of trance."

"What!?"

"Aaron you've acting so wiered today."

"How!? How am I so wiered!?" His face was full of rage that made my heart race and me scared.

"I- I didn't say you were wiered... I  I just said you were acting strangly today."

 He took a few steeps towards me and I took a few steps back. "Strange?.. You think I'm some kind of freak?" The candels started to burn brighter and wilder.

My breathing picked up, like just like everytime I got scared. " Aaron whats w-wrong with y-you?"

"Whats wrong with me!??... I'm a fucking Demon! That's whats wrong with me!" He was breathing fast too.His face was furious.

I put a shaking hand on his shoulder. "Im sure you havn't done that bad things.."

He turned away.  "You just... you just don't understand.. and you never will."

"What are you talking about-"

"I'VE DONE BAD THINGS!" He calmed down.."Very bad things" he said helplessly. He put his hands on his forehead and dropped to the ground. Frightened I leaned against the wall as far away from him, but inside something told me to comfort him.

I could hear soft weeping noises. He was crying. I took a deep breath and slowly made my way over to him. I sat on the floor and just as I was about to put my hand on his back he grabbed me by the waist and placed me on his lap. His eyes where so beautiful. "There's something about you." He whispered. "Your different. Are you even human?"

"What's gotten into you?" I asked softy.

He smirked at himself. "Who knows."

"If this is some kind of prank.. its not funny."

"I can't believe I'm here."

His words were like lightning bolts piercing my heart. "Excuse me? You're the one who insisted on going with me. I didn't force you to come on this..date."

"No, you're not understanding me-"

"What is there to not understand? You act all flirty with me take me to a date, some how magicly get rid of everyone else and put candles everywhere in a museum, and now you ask your self what your doing here?!"

"Just listen-"

"No you listen! I am no girl you can toy with, you can't play me, and damn sure can't prank me!"

I turned on my heel and headed out when suddenly a very strong hand cought my arm..a very tightly..so tightly that it hurt...that there might be bruces. Aaron saw me wince and lossent his grip.

"Let go." I gritted through my teeth.

"Just listen to me Sarena."

"No-"

And the world faded around me and all I saw was darkness.
