The King of Darkness

Chapter 1

Coldness was the first thing I felt when I died. I was floating in nothingness but somehow I was cold.

I felt my body tingle from the cold but suddenly a wave of heat came crashing down on top of me. The fire scorched my body and my screams were soundless but yet I could hear other screams piercing my ears.
Where am I?

Suddenly a light appeared above me and so did a hand. I stretched out my hand and the other grabbed mine pulling me out of the floating fortress.
I gasped for air, as if I was underwater the entire time but when the light slowly faded and the hand left mine. I saw myself on a beach, the sun is starting to set, painting the sky with pink and orange. My mind was all fuzzy but it came clear to me that this isn't California.

"Welcome, Miss. Knight to the Underworld.", a shrill voice echoed in my ears. I turned my head to face a creature that is told in many story books about Greek mythology. Charon, the fairy man to take away the souls that has died and deliver them to Hades for judgement.

"The Underworld?", I whispered to myself but out of shock I burst out laughing. Charon flinched back at my sudden out burst and clearly he didn't get much laughing souls.

"Yes ma'am. You died a tragic death and you are now in the Underworld. Please come with me so I can take you to my majesty.", he said bowing down. I stared at the creature, half of his face was burned and torn, his eyes a piercing charcoal, his voice sounded like nails on a chalk board, his body was deformed but he had manners of a butler. I stood up on shakey legs and tried to keep a brave face. I stared down at my clothing and my mouth fell a gap.
I was wearing a white dress, that flowed perfectly over my curves and pushed my breasts up, showing to much cleavage, I was barefoot and my blonde hair was pinned up in a bun.
What the actual fuck? How did I get into these clothes?

"Come now miss. My majesty is very impatient and hates when a soul takes their time.", Charon said and I just stared at the foul creature.

"Well, his majesty can wait because he has all the time in the world. I however would like to know, how this dress got on me?", I demanded.

"Miss, everything will be explained at the castle. Please.", he begged and I decided to let go of my stubbornness. I walked towards the boat and climbed in. The boat suddenly jolted forward making me squeal in shock and we were sailing the river. I looked at the reflection of the water and saw that the river was red. I looked even closer and a hand shot out. I screamed and jumped back.

"I'd not lean over the boat miss. For the river is full of souls that deserved to be tortured. Drowning is one of the worst tortures.", Charon said with a sly smirk and a shiver of disgust run down my spine.

We travelled across the river for an hour until we are met with a giant castle. The towers touched the black sky, vines twirled around the walls, roses bloomed across the gates and for some odd reason, the view of the castle made my body relax.
We came to a stop and Charon lend me a hand. I hesitantly took his thin, bony fingers and climbed out of the boat.

"Follow the path and you shall have the answers you seek.", Charon said and left me in the field of roses. I turned around facing the dark castle and took in a deep breath. I walked along the path, taking in my surroundings and once again I am mystified by the beauty that surrounds the deadly place.

Reaching the two red oak doors, I couldn't help but notice carvings of snakes, that slither up the door and their fangs bared out, as to fear intruders. As I brushed my fingers against the carvings, the door hissed and the two large doors opened. I jumped back from the unexpected hissing and stared straight ahead.

The large throne room is lit by chandeliers hanging high, the room consisted of red and gold colours, statues of angels hold candles and their faces are  sad or in pain. There is a large rug that stretches out towards the end of the room and there sits the all mighty King of Darkness, Hades.
He sits with one leg hanging over the arm of the throne, he is covered in robes of black fur, the robe is open showing his perfectly defined stomach muscles, his slacks hang low on his hips and the button is loose. His piercing blue eyes stare into mine, his petal lips in a smirk of seduction and his black hair is perfectly styled in a messy look.

I realized that I was drooling over his body and that he is enjoying my embarrassing moment.

"Well, well, you finally decide to present yourself, Miss. Knight.", his husky voice sent chills down my spine and spread warmth in places that shouldn't feel hot.

I walked into the throne room and slowly made my towards the sex god.
I was still holding my breath but his gaze made me gasp loudly.

"Hmm...you going to have to do.", he said.

"Excuse me?", I questioned his comment. His eyes were racking my body and I started to get an unnerving feeling.

"You are excused my darling.", he chuckled.

"Listen hear, I am not in the mood for your silly games and I am sure as hell that you are one word away from a knuckle sandwich.", I hissed. His eyes widened at my outburst but covered his shock expression with a cocky smirk.

"Well, don't you have a feisty mouth on you. Maybe you and I should have a lesson about your manners.", he suggested, wiggling his eyes and biting his lip.

"You are despicable God. So, sorry that I am not one of your nymph whores.", I bit out.

He stood up from his throne and stood towering over me. The heat that was coming off of his body made me want to hug him but I had to fight the urge to do that.

"You are going to regret disrespecting me.", he said through gritted teeth.

"Please, I'm not afraid of death and there is no way in hell will I ever be afraid of you.", I said, crossing my arms and regretted that action. My breasts stood out even more and his eyes were eyeing them like candy.

"I think I'm going to teach you a lesson right now.", he breathed out and swiftly grabbed my waist. He roughly pulled me against his rock hard chest and tightly keeping me in place.

"Let me go you brute!", I shouted at him. I slapped him against his chest but he didn't even flinch. I groaned out in frustration and a growl ruptured in my ears.

"If you are going to make noises like that, make sure you don't want to get raped by me.",he whispered huskily in my ear. His hot breathe brushed against my neck making me bite my lip. I came back to reality when I felt something hard press against my thigh.

"Let me go.", I said through gritted teeth.

"Now why would I want to do that.", he whispered against my neck and his soft lips left a kiss on my pulse.

"Because this is sexual harassment and I will not be a victim to it.", punching against his chest just made him hold me closer to him.

"Darling, I wouldn't need to sexually harass you. When it is obvious that your treasure wants me to claim it. Believe me when I finally claim that sweet booty, you wouldn't be able to walk off the pleasure I'd give you.", he bit my neck and my face turned red at his sweet promises but I needed to get my head in the game.
There was enough space for my legs to bend and attack my target. I raised my knee and it hit the jackpot.

"Fuck!", he hissed and let go of me, cupping his precious jewels and glaring at me.

"Try walking that off, asshole.", I said. I started to run further into the castle but I knew I was going to get caught because I had no clue where I was going.

"You are so fucking dead!", his voice boomed against the walls and the castle was shacking from his out burst.
I was focusing on getting far away from the God and getting out of this damned castle. I took a sharp turn to the right and ended up at a dead end. I cursed at myself and turned around to find another way.

"You can't run forever, Violet!", he hissed my name. I froze in my spot, realising how close he was.
I started to panic and suddenly a door appeared on the wall. I took that as my advantage to get away from him. I slammed the door shut and my breathing was coming in heavy pants.

"Well, you could of just said that you were desperate to sleep with me darling.", his voice echoing in the room I was in. Suddenly a light turned on and there he was.
Hades.
