I walked behind Harry- errr Hades? Whichever worked, I mean both did signify his name right? I quickly trotted behind him as he took long strides through the hallways of his castle. This place was so vast, I could easily get lost here.

"Harry, I think Id prefer a room closer to yours." Did I really just ask that? I hate this guy, why am I asking for a room closed to his?

Perhaps it was my fear of being alone, a shattered memory of Lilian entered my mind and I quickly tried my hardest to swallow the painful lump in my throat. I fixed my posture and stared at Harry's back, I didn't even notice he stopped. The lantern in his hand swayed from side to side, and the dark hallway quickly illuminated.

"What?" He spoke quietly.

"For security and company.. Im afraid I might get lost." My voice was barely a whisper, I sound pathetic. A pen dropping would probably be louder than me.

"Im not here for 'security'. Im here for shelter. Like I mentioned before, your safety doesn't concern me, if you get hurt, oh well. Athena will pick you up in 3 days time, she has a long way to get here, but until then your'e only here because of your clumsiness. I am not obligated to care for you." He finally turned around and faced me. In an instant I looked down and tried to conceal the little river of tears that formed on my cheek. A few seconds passed and I heard a deep sigh, then Harry's footsteps.

We passed many turns and a few chambers, until finally reaching our destination. Harry faced me again, "this is your room, temporarily." He motioned the blood red door that stood before me. It had my name engraved into it, and a golden handle. This looks nice and comfortable. I looked at Harry remembering our earlier discussion, and mumbled a 'thank you'.

He turned and left me standing there gripping the handle, I heard his footsteps stop and I turned to face him opening a large black door with a silver handle.
"Im staying here.. Err, if you need help, I guess." He awkwardly rubbed the back of his curls. I softly smiled, and looked down, "thank you Harry."

"Fawn." He entered his chamber and I did mine, he took it into consideration and granted me a small favor. Maybe he isn't such a devil after all. I smiled and looked around the room, it looked like a fancy medieval room in a castle or something.. It was beautiful though. I walked in and plopped myself on the bed. Goodnight Lilian.
