Daughter of Hades

My Word

When I finally came to, everything was covered in smoke. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel the grittiness of dirt and water underneath me. The air was thick and suffocating, it smelled like something was dying and burning all at once. Fuck me, I knew where I was, and that's when the pain hit me. I was back in Tartarus, why, who would put me here again? One moment I was connecting with the loves of my life, the next I'm in this tremendous pain, the pain. I doubled over quickly as I thought of the pain, it came back to me tenfold. I couldn't stop the scream bubbling up from my throat. My body fell slack against the ground as I screamed of the pain. Why was there so much pain? My vision became blurred, and I was starting to loose feeling in my body. What was happening, was it supposed to be like this? Almost instantly the pain had stopped, as if I had been given morphine.

"What the fuck is going on" I slowly stood up, trying to clear my sight and mind of the fogginess, and saw the mountains of rock and fire. I wasn't only in Tartarus, I was in the pit;  the very depth of Tartarus, the most dangerous place in the underworld, and I was fucked. 

"Mom, Dad" I screamed out loud, which was stupid considering I knew they wouldn't answer me back. I was scared as hell, how was I supposed to get out of here? I felt a body behind me and frowned as I turned and there was no one there. 

"Please, help me" I heard a laugh and backed up into a corner. The fuck was happening right now, what is going on?

"Little sister, they finally threw you in here, huh" I turned around to see a woman with long flowing blonde hair, one side of her body was completely black, while the other side was white. 

"Who are you" she scoffed as she walked over to me and put an arm around my shoulders as we started walking. 

"I am Melinoe, Goddess who presides over the propitiation offered to the ghosts of the dead, if I deem a gift great enough, the spirit is blessed, however if a family member leaves a horrible gift I place a curse on that family, daughter of Zeus and Persephone, the lovely little bitch who threw me into Tartarus the moment I was born" I was stuck for a moment, did she say mom threw her down here.

"That can't be true, mom wouldn't do that, Hades threw me in here when I was a child.........................." Melinoe shook her head at me and smirked.

"Your mother isn't as sweet as she seems little girl, she's the Goddess of the Underworld, don't be so fucking naive, she had you to spite her father, my father, not because she loved Hades so much, she wants you to kill the Gods Helena, specifically Zeus, she wants you to give in to that evil side of you, she could fucking care less about you or about any other God, she's a selfish bitch" I slapped Melinoe before I realized it. that wasn't who my mother was, she was kind, she was sweet, she loved me when no one else had.

"You poor, poor soul, why do you think Zeus wants you dead, you are the Goddess of Resurrection, poisons, and keeper of the veil, you can control the dead, create poisons that can kill even the God's, she knew exactly what she was doing when she created you" Melinoe screamed at me as she began to pace back and forth making me nervous.

"You don't know what you're talking about" She smiled at me then, walking closer to me and gripping my arms, making my vision blur before me as I saw the forest behind Zeus home on Olympus.

"She wanted you to hate the Gods just as much as she does, none of them hate you, they fear you, Ares was the only one who she could get to make you see how much you should truly hate the Gods, peculiar isn't it, if she cared about you so much that she didn't run after you, that it was Hades that found you, all of those Gods want Zeus replaced, and Persephone wants Hades to rule over Olympus, he is the only one she has ever truly loved" I saw Ares walk into the clearing talking with my mother. No, no this wasn't true, she wouldn't.
