The King of Darkness

Chapter 6

This creature that brutally murdered people from not escaping this place, started whining and licking my hand. I jumped away from the creature and it growled for awhile but then moved closer to me. 

"What in the world is going?", I asked myself because I was waiting for this beast to tear me apart but this creature is acting like a puppy.

The three headed creature licked my injured hand and I hissed as the wound started stinging. I looked at my hand and saw that the wound was healing. My mouth fell a gap and I looked at this creature and thanked it.

"This may be odd to you but could you maybe help me find the center of the maze?", I asked the creature.
I nearly decided to slap myself for talking to a deadly creature and asking it for help.

But the creature started walking in a direction and looked back at me and that indicated that I must follow. I rushed towards the creature and allowed it to lead me.

"For a scary beast, you are actually a softy," I said and the beast just huffed and carried on leading me to the center of the maze.

I looked at the sky and it was getting dark. The stars gleamed beautifully and the moon was brightening the maze.
We walked together and I started to feel safe around the beast.

"Do you like any of the girls?", I asked and it growled in disapproval.
"Yea me too. I don't like them either. They are all stuck up and just want that pervert to bed them."

We finally came to a path that led to the center of the maze. I carried on walking but the creature stayed behind. I turned around and looked back at the creature confused.

"Aren't you coming with me?", I said and walked towards the beast but as I got closer all three heads growled at me. I jumped away out of surprise and fear.
I immediately turned around and ran to the center of the maze. As I entered the center, a loud noise came from above and there was the pervert smirking down at me.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is our fourth contestant and now the first trial is complete," he says proudly and the audience cheered and whistled. I gazed up at him and glared at him.

Suddenly everything went dark and the noise was shut out.
The silence started to make my body shiver and breathing shallower.

"Okay Hades this isn't funny", I said out loud but all I was answered with was my echo. I wanted to move but my feet stayed in their place.

"Hades! I'm not playing around!", I shouted into the darkness but there was only my voice that could be heard.

Suddenly a bright light appeared and it was coming towards me. I wanted to move but my feet was still glued to the ground.

"Fuck! You useless pair of feet!", I shouted at my feet but still they didn't move an inch.
The light was coming closer and closer. I covered my eyes as the light burned and left me disoriented.

"Violet, what the hell are you doing?", Hades asked, looking down at me and giving me a concerned look that you would give to a crazy person.

I looked up at him and saw that he was dressed. Properly dressed.
He wore a black dress shirt, khakis, pointy shoes and a ruby coloured tie. His hair was gelled back and his face shaven.
I blinked a couple of times, taking in his beauty and scrabbled quickly to my feet.

"Where am I? How did I get here?", all these questions were falling out of my mouth and Hades covered my mouth to shush me.

"You talk too much and you ask too many questions," Hades said bluntly. He removed his hand from my mouth and stepped away from me.

As he stepped away from me, I looked at my surroundings and realized that I was in my room. I looked down to what I was wearing and saw that it was normal sweatpants and a tank top.

"How did I get into these clothes?", I asked looking at Hades, who is now sitting on the edge of my bed.

"I removed the dirty ones and fondled with you for a bit. Then decided I had my fun and dressed you,"he says, with a glint in his eyes and a smirk on his face.

I felt my blood boil and my face turn red.

"You perverted toad! Disrespectful mongril!...", and the list goes on and on, as I charged at him with murder in my eyes.
As I came close to my bed, he instantly stood up and raised his arms in surrender.

"I'm joking love. I do have some decency still. Your chamber maid dressed you. She was furious at me when I tried to peek but ended up with a shoe in my face," he says.

I stopped in my murderous walk and glared at him.

"Why am I here?," I demanded.

"Because you are in the top four and you needed to get cleaned?," he said confusingly.

"I meant why am I doing this stupid competition? Why am I in the Underworld?", I asked and he finally understood what I was asking.

Hades stood there silent and I was kind of getting worried. Usually this moron doesn't know when to shut up.

"Do you know the story of Persephone?", he asked and looked at me.
I gazed into his eyes and saw hate, anger, sadness and disgust.

He reached out his hand and touched my forehead.
Then I was in a field full of beautiful flowers and in the center of the field stood a beautiful woman.

Persephone.
