Light and Dark: Darkness Reigns

Pierced by Cupid's Arrow

           Evie seeing Hades made do on his promise of helping the lost souls with their unfinished business she gotta admit he seemed genuine on it no she's not falling for the jerk just that she can tolerate him now. Hades sought out Gaston's help with wooing Evie given his charming self he said "Let me guess she doesn't like your Lord of Underworld persona" he said "She still longs for her soulmate and I need to change her mind" he said "What do you need of me?" he said "Entertain her, feel for her try to gain inside of her and report back to me" he said "Of course Lord Hades". Evie was taking hot cocoa in a mug a trait she shares with her brother Henry she was greeted by Gaston he asked for the usual at Granny's when he saw her he sat down across from her in a booth he said "I hope you don't mind me sitting here?" she said "Go ahead" he said "I'm Gaston I run the Animal Shelter" she said "Really?" he said "Well, someone has to" she said "I heard stories of you, even seen a movie about you" he said "Anything good?" she said "Yeah, they were" he said "I must go" she said "Why don't I join you, I love animals" he said "I'll show you around then". Evie went with Gaston to the Animal Shelter see the animals she giving him a show because she knows exactly the type of man he is he said "So, I heard you sacrificed yourself for the people you love that's quite admirable" she said "I would do it again" he said "Well, I was trying to be heroic and the Dark One killed me" she said "Yeah, he's not really a friend of mine, he's the real reason why I'm dead" he said  "I would love to kill the bastard but he's alive and kicking while I'm here dead" she said "Gaston, out of curiosity what is your unfinished business?" he said "Being a hero by a set example instead being of strength and brute force" she said "Surely, a woman didn't cause your demise?" he said "It was her expectations that did" she said "Well, this woman is a friend of mine and I would say she jumped the ship just in time" she went to walk out. He greeted by Hades on his findings he said "She loves animals" he said "Anything else?" he said "I can tell she doesn't like me, she speaks of knowing stories of me?" he said "Where she's from she knows a lot of stories about many of us especially me, but I need you to find the one thing that will lead her to my arms?" he said "She cares about those she loves" he said "That I already know, so you basically have nothing" he said "I'll try again Lord Hades" he said "You better or you will become part of the River of Lost Souls forever".

          Evie was out for a stroll in the woods when she was greeted by a helpless animal she went and helped it when Gaston came upon her he said "There you are, I was cleaning it's pen and then it was gone" she said "This dog is yours?" he said "Well, the Animal Shelter's" she said "I'm sorry for what I said earlier, it was out of line" he said "I apologize for my persona and anything you know of me, I swear to you I'm not that man" she said "Prove it?" he said "How about a walk, if you can stand me" she said "A challenge? Fine you're on Gaston". Walking with the dog she knew he was up to something but leading him on may be wise to get the info out of him so when they sat down on a bench she said "I must admit Gaston you're quite positively primeval" he said "Why thank you, Evie" she said "I must know, why a handsome charming hunter like yourself couldn't find another beauty? I mean you're everything a lady would want in a suitor?" she baiting him he said "You really think so?". As he catching onto her every word she scooted 

closer next to him she said "I mean, if I didn't find my true love I would've settled for someone like you" he leaned in to kiss her when she turned away she said "I told you if I didn't but I did, I'll walk the rest of the way, good day Gaston". She got up and walked away he was falling for her when Hades appeared beside him he said "Lord Hades" he said "I see you're falling for her and I can't have that now" he said "Lord Hades, I uh..." he said "She's quite good, but she's mine no one else's so thank you for your help enjoy River of Lost Souls" he said "Lord Hades don't" he poofed him gone he said "Well, only way to your heart is to appear roguish gentleman and that I can do".

           Evie greeted Hades in his lair he was reading a book she said "I hope you know that you've proven yourself to me by helping some of the lost souls" he put the book down he said "Well, when I set out to do something I do it". She went to leave when she stopped she thought about what happened earlier today she turned back to him when he was already standing behind her he said "Did you forget something?" she said "This" she kissed him on the cheek then said "Don't send minions to do your dirty work, if you want to know me go straight to the source don't rely on the womanizing Gaston to do a good job" she broke from him he said "What?" she said "I told you, I'm too smart to be seduced by you" she turned and walked off. Hades felt the kiss on his cheek and his heart a flutter for a bit he said "Almost there, just need to push ahead victory is close at hand". Evie was brushing her hair she smiled thinking about Killian she couldn't wait to see him again to feel his touch she loved him truly and would do anything to get back to him even goading the Lord of the Underworld to fall in love with her and use that to defeat him it was very evil and wicked even but she stated she's in for playing a long game and this is the only way she knows how.
