Mated Flower

Chapter 3

Authors Note:

Okay so, in my opinion, this chapter is kinda boring but necessary so I will keep this short. Enjoy the chapter though.

Persephone POV:

Only a couple of hours until the games begin. I am getting nervous and also kind of excited but mostly scared.

 I don't think I want to mate. I think I might just want to be alone at least for now. I mean they can't entirely blame me if it's only a year late.

Go travel and have some fun. It's only one more year it's not like they've been waiting that long. I mean only their whole life but they can wait. My roommate, on the other hand, wants to find them immediately. 

And my Omega is very annoyed that I don't want to find them telling me how "they waited long enough."

 "I want to be with them."

 "This isn't fair to me you can't do this to me any longer it's not fair."

 I push her to the back of my mind and move on with my day. I need to get dressed and get ready to pack my stuff in the bag so when I get out of the games I can leave afterwards.

 I walk downstairs to go figure out where I'm supposed to be now. I know that they always make people wear special suits to monitor everything and everyone so I don't put a lot of effort into dressing up. I make it downstairs in time I go find my group based on the floor I was on. They pass out jumpsuits to everyone. I'm assuming there's a tracker in them or something to check my vitals.

I thought I was going to like this, but now that I'm here I'm kind of dreading this. At this point yesterday I was excited but I'm not so sure anymore. Floor by floor they to the island looking around to see all the other omegas some excited some nervous some a combination some downright afraid.

 I do find it odd that my Omega is way too excited and is probably going to kill me when I don't go searching for them.

 They pass out food to us as well as a small pack that has some stuff for us to survive for the next week because even if we do find our mate we're still stuck there.

 which is probably the stupidest part of all this because I mean quite a few people end up having sex on TV. Why do they record this like it's a f****** TV show?

To tell the truth, I used to love watching this to be fair to see people fall in love and hope that I can have it one day.

We arrived way too soon for my liking. I got out with the rest of the group and we walk over to where we'll be starting. The betas will be here in about an hour or so and then the Alphas will show up in about 2 hours give or take some time as depending on the year they make it longer.

They briefly explain to us that we're not supposed to be murdering people and if we do that there will be consequences for the outside world we are not allowed to leave until the seven days are up and essentially tell us good luck. And then we are told we can go some people immediately ran off some people cluster with their friends. This is the time when you see who wants to be mated.

 I immediately run being an Earth goddess it's not hard to navigate and quickly discovered the area is not too dissimilar from where I grew up. As I run I note water and food and I know all sorts of little things that I can see that will be beneficial to me as the week goes on.

Seemingly soon I hear the announcement that the betas have been released. It does not feel like it's been that long but alas I must quickly get into a shelter. I'm desperately trying to mask my scent using the berries and stuff I see as I go along.

By the time the sun is halfway through the sky I get to an area far enough away from where everyone's being released but close enough to a water source.

 I start manipulating the trees around me and the shrubbery so it looks like a natural making a little secret cave. Checking to make sure it looks natural and I head inside. It's not huge but it will be sufficient for now. I start manipulating the inside to a nice and comfortable area for me to sit down and to rest because I've been walking for a very long time and despite being a very active person I do not enjoy it all that much.

 Knowing that I will be getting way more than my fair share of screen time due to who I am I hope I look decent.

I lay down and I decide to take a quick little nap before I have to work. It's normally within the first couple hours or so of being released that you get a bunch of your mates so I am going to hope I don't get discovered.

 I fell asleep fairly quickly due to being very tired from the night before and this morning and this whole thing. I feel like I'm awoken way too quickly though by the announcement that the Alphas have been released.

 Excellent. I send a prayer begging and pleading to any of the Fates who are willing to listen to me that I'm not discovered that I'm not mated yet. I mean that's all I can hope for at this point. I quickly arranged for some more shrubs to cover up my scent so that hopefully no one could smell me.

 When I heard shuffling outside I peeked through a little hole and saw thankfully a couple a mated couple actively finishing the process. Don't they realize this is on TV and that I'm right here?

 I mean I'm glad they don't know I am here but I hope this is over soon and they leave. I go back into my little safety cave and decide to play with sunflowers growing and then killing them and growing again.

 Just playing with my powers with nothing much else to do. I do think they should allow us to have at least books or something to draw with or color. I don't know something at least.

It gets pretty late and I decide to have a small snack and get into a good sleeping position. I fall asleep pretty quickly with my omega being oddly content as if she knows something I don't.

Endnote:

Okay, I know I said I was not going to post so late again but oh well.

Anyways, I am so excited for the next chapter. It is going to be almost entirely from Hades' POV, I think. I am still looking for a beta if anyone is interested.
