'People whisper that I'd been dragged'

"You are in love, you just do not wish to admit it" she said
"Leave me" I dismissed once again
"Fine, I will take my leave" she said, strolling away from me
"May I ask what name this land will have?" She asked."I am not sure yet" I said
She nodded
"Then may I also just say, you are creating an entire new world for souls, a euphoric place of peace and tranquility, two things that have never come easy to you, all for the spring that lies in a room down the hall, all for a girl who has not yet reciprocated such feelings towards you. And you think that is not love?" She asked, before leaving me with my thoughtsWas it love?
I had not the first clue what love felt like
I had seen it, between lost souls who would beg to know where their other half was
Where they ended up and if they would ever see them again.Was I in love?

The night was tiring and yet I could not fall asleep
I was staring up at the ceiling and wondering how I had come into the situation I was in
I missed my mother terrible
And yet confined here, trapped down here was the most free I had ever felt.I somehow felt more myself and more inclined to speak than I ever had at the cottage
Constantly being told to be quiet by mother
Restricted on when to leave and where to go
What to wear and what to do.I felt... free with Hades
A contradictory freedom I suppose.But now sleep escaped me and I had no other thoughts but him
But his tall stature over mine
And his dark eyes that seemed to consume mine in darkness
That clouded my mind with what I have only ever witnessed between young loversWant.
A wanting for another
That one couldn't explain
Or justify
That provoked anger and jealousy and heart flutters and sickness all rolled under the nerves of their attention.I revelled in his attention
Under his gaze and his thoughts
His want to hear what I had to say
Rather than dismissing me or silencing me.I left my bed once again, seeking Hades out for his conversation
"Excuse me" I asked a maid
"Yes miss" she said, bowing her head
"Can you tell me where Hades is please?" I asked"Lord Hades' room?" She asked surprised
I nodded
She looked at me, with a look I had never received from anyone before
Like I was... wrong for going to a man's bedroom.Like it was not appropriate
But I only wanted to talk with him.
"Yes" I said, shifting to stand... stronger
I was not going to be made to feel wrong
