_ Zeus _

"Hades has her?!" She screamed. The banshee herself storming through Olympus as everyone eyed her
Aphrodite glared at her in disgust and Apollo observed what he believed to be craziness before him
Everyone fell silent and even Hera whining in my ear stopped and stared at Demeter

"Where did you hear that exactly?" I asked
"You knew" she shouted, seeing it in my demeanour
"I did not say that" I said
"But you do! You do! Hades is the one who took her!" She shouted

Gods began to whisper amongst themselves, those who did not already know seemingly shocked to hear that Hades of all gods had done such a thing

"Demeter, join me" I said simply, gesturing away from everyone
She stormed past me, and I ignored the look Hera gave me as I followed her

"I want her returned to me now" she demanded, stopping by the fountain
"I am afraid that is not possible" I said
I had to arrange a meeting
Sit her and Hades down so they could talk it out
This was not my problem.

"Why not? Why did you keep it from me? She is my daughter Zeus" she shouted
"She is a goddess as well Demeter. Remember that!" I snapped at her
She was forgetting her place
Persephone was not her possession.
She was a goddess. She belonged to Olympus, not her.

"I will set up a meeting with Hades, before then, remember your place, calm down, and leave" I ordered her
She glared at me, burning my skin up and down with her spiteful eyes.

Before her jaw tightened, and she left.

I knew she was not going to listen to me. But I also knew that Hades could deal with her until she was ready to do so.

• Persephone •

I was beginning to question my stay here. Beginning to question home and my feelings
Was I really protesting to be here? Should I have fought more?
Fought to get away from the man that has captured my attention in such a short amount of time.

"Are you ready?" Hades asked, leaning against the doorframe as I looked at myself in the mirror
I was getting more used to these... clothes
Dressing like I belonged at such a place.
I nodded, offering him a smile
"Yes" I said, I felt slightly afraid after the night before

We had not yet spoken of the kisses we had shared
Merely woken up together as we had done, and left each other to get ready.

He had walked me out of the castle and a long way from the fields that he had previously shown me
"Hades? Is this far?" I asked curiously
"We are nearly there" he said, eagerly dragging me along.
