Kidnapped

Chapter 7

I woke up in the guest room by a familiar voice, which seems to be happening a lot lately.

"It's time to wake up, Miss." the same voice that had who woke me up before said.

I sat up and rubbed the sleepiness away from eyes. I looked towards him, a question forming in my head, "What's your name," I asked.

"Sebastian, why? Do you need anything Miss?," he questioned. I shook my head and he bowed, and walked out the door. I got up from the bed and brushed my teeth. I yanked open the door and there was Hades, pacing the hallway. He looked up at me and relief flashed across his face.

"Oh good, you're awake. I was worried about you when you fainted. You were out for the rest of the day," he said.

"Why would you worry about me, you don't even care about how I feel," I snarled at him. I stormed off to the dinning room for breakfast, with him right behind me.

"Why do I seem to always say sorry to you? ALRIGHT, I'M SORRY, but I don't want to let you go, you mean too much to me," he whispered at the end. How? He doesn't even know me, crazy people these days. Then his eyes widened and he smirked, I just wanted to wipe it off his handsome face. Handsome? Ugh, what's wrong with me?

"I have an idea, let's make a deal," he said as we walked through the dinning room doors.

I looked at him suspiciously, "What is it?" I asked and took a seat.

"Well, whenever you see me, you always yell at me to bring you back home to your mother. So, if you ever want to go back home and see your mother, you need to marry me," he told me.

"When hell freezes over," I laughed. Then I thought that over, there is(apparently) no hell, well there is but it's not called hell, more like Tartarus. So I rephrased what I said, "When Tartarus freezes over," he seemed to crack a smile at that.

"Think about it, if you marry me, I will let you stay with your mother for half the year or something like that, and the rest, you come back here to fulfill your duty as Queen of the Underworld and my wife," he smiled, SMILED, he aggravated me so much.

"For how long?" I wasn't going to say yes, I was simply curious.

"Probably, forever?" he suggested.

I snickered loudly, "And how would that be possible, I'm a human. I'm not immortal like you."

He snapped his fingers and a worker came out with water, "I could always give you immortality," he sipped is water.

"What about my mother, huh? She's human too, she won't live forever." 

"Well, that's unfortunate for you and her isn't it?" I tasted blood in my mouth from bitting on my tongue to hard.

"And if I don't agree to this deal, what would happen," I inquired.

"Oh sweetheart," his cooed . "Then you'll have to stay here, forever."

I panicked inside, I didn't want to stay here forever. But at the same time, I didn't want to marry him either. Ding -I've got a great idea, if I marry him, after a while, he will eventually let me go back to my mother. So during that time, I could run far away, where he won't find me. I reluctantly agreed, "Okay.".

"Wait really? Wow, I thought you would say no and try to run away again," he said confused.

"What gave you the idea that would I ever run away?" sarcasm dripped from my voice.

Breakfast came out and we ate in silence, complete and utter silence, again.

"Alright then," he scratched his neck. "I guess you can do whatever you wanna do for the rest of the day, then tomorrow, we can talk more about the uhh...wedding," he rushed out. I nodded at him and walked back to my room. I searched through some drawer and I finally found some paper and colored pencils to get my mind off our deal. I sat on my bed and began to sketch, not really paying attention to what I was drawing, just letting my mind and hand take over.

In the end, I was left with a detailed picture of... Hades, great. If you didn't get that, it was sarcasm. I couldn't understand why I drew him, so I just looked at the picture. I took in all of his features, like his sharp jawline and his piercing blue/grey eyes. He is very handsome, I admitted, I kinda had a small attraction to him, but felt no emotional feelings towards him. Sure he was a bit kind to me, but he is still crazy. Now that I believes that Greek mythology is real, it's not totally unusual in his world to kidnap someone attractive, his brother (Zeus) probably has done that a lot. But this is absolutely uncommon in my world, and I hate how ignorant he is to that fact.  I started to feel sleepy, and decided to take a small nap.

As I laid down in the sheets, I thought out my plan again. Right now it is late September. He said I would have to stay for half a year before he lets me go back to my mother, in late February.  Then once I go back to my mother, I'll somehow convince her about all this madness and tell her we need to move, to hide away from him. I groaned at the thought of staying with him for six months? I could barely stand him for one minute, but I guess in the meantime, being nice to him won't hurt anyone since I won't see him after this.

Or so I thought.
