"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 thoughts

Was 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 lovers

Want.
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
