Kidnapped

Chapter 6

 We entered the dining room, but it didn't seem like a room. More like a small ballroom with a long table in the middle of it. He took a seat at the head of the table while I took seat on his left side.

"Well, let's eat shall we?" he looked at me and tilted his head like a puppy. I cracked a small smile.

In front of me, a plate sat there, the plate was filled with a delicious looking chicken pasta. Neither of us talked while we ate, the room was full of awkward silence. 

"So... have you thought things through yet?" he asked

"Yes, I have," I nodded

"And, what do you think," his beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"So if all of this is supposedly real, is Percy Jackson real?" I asked excited.

"No, at least, I don't think so," he shrugged. I took my last bite and Hades suddenly snapped his fingers. Two people, I assumed waiters, burst through the door with strawberry cheesecake. I took a bite and inwardly moaned at the taste. I told the workers with a grin, to compliment the chef and they both had polite smiles etched on their faces as they walked back through the door.

"Ok, well here's my real question," I hesitated, but forced myself to ask, "Why did you kidnapped me?" 

"I-hmm, I can't put this into words without you wanting to run away," he spoke sadly.

"I don't care, just tell me already," I snapped, he flinched and I felt a slight regret. "Sorry, but can you please? I really need to know." I begged.

"Okay fine, so uhm..."

Hades perspective

"SEBASTIAN," I yelled.

"Yes sir?" Sebastian, my most trusted servant, answered back to me.

"I'm heading over to Demeter's house to discuss ... things," I informed him. "So I want you to watch over everything while I'm gone."

He bowed and went somewhere outside, probably to the courthouse. I closed my eyes, channeled all my power and transported myself into the mortal world or more specifically Brunswick, North Carolina. I felt a cold breeze pass by me and I opened my eyes. I stood on the side of a dirt road and as  I looked down the road I could see a big house smack in the middle of an endless meadow. I began walking towards my sister's house.

I raised my leg to go up onto the porch but the sound of something shattering stopped me. Instead of ringing the doorbell, I went around the house towards the noise, only to see the most beautiful woman I had. Her figure glowed with a bright gold aura. Her hair looked silky and dark, her chocolate brown eyes were warm,-they filled my stomach with a strange fuzzy feeling that wasn't all that bad.

I summoned an invisible shield to hide myself . She began to pick up the broken glass on the dirt floor and kept apologizing. She got a small cut on her index finger, but ignored it and continued to pick up the glass, until a worker asked her to stop.

"Persephone, please, I will do it instead. You go inside and clean that cut of yours," the worker insisted.

Persephone huh, I thought, what a wonderful name for a beautiful girl. She nodded and stood up, her silky hair swaying behind her back. Just as she went inside, I teleported myself back into the Underworld. Who the hell was she? Just looking at her makes my knees go weak and my mind go blank. Then an idea popped into my head.

Just kidnap her, my subconscious told me. Huh, that's not a totally bad idea. I mean sure, she won't like it at first, but she'll get use to me. I triumphantly smiled at my plan and started to prepare.

The only thing I focused on from his explanation was the kidnapping idea. I started to believe, slowly, that he really is Hades and that Greek mythology is actually real. But why would he even think about kidnapping me, and why would he think that I would eventually be okay with that? I would rather die than to even faintly accepting this. I shuddered just thinking about living with him until I die.

I stood up, slapped him on his cheek, pounded my fist  on his hard chest, all while yelling at him, "Let me go back home, you're a creep and I  will never get use to you. So you might as well take me back!" I gave him a deadly glare.

He didn't flinch once, but kept hitting him until he grabbed my wrists with one hand. I kept glaring at him. He sighed,

"I'm sorry that I kidnapped you, but it's kinda to late to send you back home because I informed my family that I was going to get married... to you," he trailed off.

The room began spinning around, making me light headed. Next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor, my eyes flutter close as I succumb to the darkness.
