The Beginning : The Blood Rings Series (Hades & Persephone Reimagined)

Chapter 9: Persephone ۵♡۵

Persephone Ruthberg ۵♡۵

This has been the second dinner that I had attend where I was informed that I would be marrying someone that I did not want to or have a connection with. Though I would be lying to myself if I said that I did not feel nothing at all for him, anything more than I have ever even hinted of feeling towards Adonis. Despite him taking my life away, he managed to show a sexual side that I had never explored to make me experience things that I know Adonis could try but not compare. I knew that running was useless, but my feet thought before I did and I was darting to the front door.

Only to find that it had multiple locks on their door as if they had planned for something like this to happen, I would yank and fight with the door only to accept my fate as he dragged me back into the kitchen. Once he told me exactly what I needed to do, I could not stomach the thought of taking another bite of my food, so I left him and went upstairs to my room again. I expected him to follow me, but he did not. All I could hear was the sound of dishes clanking around meaning he must have finished dinner and someone was cleaning it up. No doubt someone that he had hired. I ripped off the dress, I was going to slip on some of his clothes, but I did not want to even think about wearing something that was his even if I had been doing so since I came into this room and showered.
Hecate also given over a few of her things, but every time it was time to get dressed I was pulling out something of his. Hecate was not as bad of a person as she appears. She could actually be somewhat sweet, when she saw the state of my hair she came in and fixed the crisis for me. I was grateful to have her just as much as he was at this point. She kept my company while he ignored me not bothering to give me the time of day or even check up on me. I tried to draw information from her, but she never gave up anything. I had even asked her to tell me his name and she just laughed saying he would tell me when he felt the need. How was I going to marry someone when I did not even know what my last name would be.

I ran the hottest shower my body could handle, as I climbed inside letting strotched and burn at my skin. I did not actually bathe, I just say with my head against the shower wall.
I stayed in the shower until my tears ran dry and it was just the shower water hitting and rolling down my face. Finally as the water started to run cold, I got out of the shower. I got dressed pulling on my underwear and bra before I grabbed the robe hanging on the wall and wrapped it around tying it my body, still refusing to wear his clothes.
When I came back there was a notebook sitting on the bed along with a pen. He really was expecting me to write a letter to my parents. How would he even give it to them? Why couldn't I just call my parents and tell them that I was okay? I knew the police would probably track the phone and I do not think that I could lie to my parents the first time I would get to hear their voices again. I sighed as I took a seat on the bed and pulled the book in my lap. I did not know what to write, there was nothing to say. All I wanted to tell them was that I loved them and they were the most important people in my life, but I knew if I did that then he would just not send the letter. He may just write one or get Hecate to write one. Or worst, he would kill my parents like he promised me at dinner.
After a few torn and bawled up sheets tossing on the floor at my rough drafts I finally finished the letter,

'Dear Momma and Papa,

It's me, your sweet Pom Pom and Rose. I am okay, I promise. I hope that you two are doing okay, I am sorry that I ran away and left without out a word. But Papa I could not marry Adonis. My heart is already taken by someone else and that is where I am right now. I am happy and healthy. I do want to settle down just like you want for me Papa, I want to provide you with grandchildren, but I want my children to experience and see what true love of parents looks like just like you and Momma. I will be marrying him and I will have his children. I want nothing more than to have you hold my hand and give me away to the love of my life. Though, because if the sudden planning of the occasion. We had planned to do this properly until you told me I was to be wed to Adonis. Now we are to be wed next week. Please help me have the wedding of my dreams.
