The King of Darkness

Chapter 8

Last night was a night that still sent shivers down my spine and made me paranoid every time I see a dark corner.

I am walking down the hall way, where the lights are dim and the corners are dark. My breathing starting to quicken because my thoughts went back to that nightmare and I wanted to scream again but one of the girls bumped into me.

"Ugg...watch where you going you bitch!", she exclaimed and gave me a glare of death. 

"You have eyes also why don't you use them for a change.", I remarked back but I realized that wasn't insulting. 

"Please, peasants like you should move out of my way when I'm walking. So, go on peasant apologize.", she demanded an apology from me and all I wanted to do was punch her pretty  little face.

"You know what I just realized I don't even know your name."

"Tiffany Heart."

"Wow, that name really suits you...for the queen of sluts."

"Excuse me!"

"You're excused my darling.", I said and started to turn away from her but she grabbed my hand.I turned around to tell her to let go of me but ended up getting a slap to the face. The slap echoed across the hall way and I just saw red. 

I grabbed her by the neck and pushed her up against the wall. She tried prying my hands off of her neck but this strength of mine just came out of nowhere. Her eyes started to water, her face started to turn blue and I could feel that I was going to kill her. 

"Violet!", Hades shouted and I immediately let go of Tiffany. 

"What the hell are you doing? Attacking a contender and nearly killed them.", he said, storming towards me and stopped in front of my face. I could smell the sweet musk coming off him, I can feel the heat radiating off him and I had the desire to kiss him.

Wait what!

"She attacked me first. I turned around to leave and she grabbed my hand and slapped me.", I said, defending myself but Hades was more occupied on the walking STD on the ground. I glared at him and Tiffany because I knew now matter what I say I was still in the wrong. 

"Go to your chambers Violet. I'll deal with you later.", he said coldly and bridal carried Tiffany down the hall way and left me by myself with my thoughts. 

Hades never spoken to me like that and when his tone changed with me, it felt like he hated me. I stood there for a while and just decided to disobey the arrogant asshole and explore the castle. 

Every corner, every turn looked the same and it felt like I was moving in circles. I thought to myself that Hades should of given us an orientation of the castle. Yes he did lay down a few rules but those rules were just to keep us out of deaths hands. 

While walking down the hall way, my thoughts went back to the memory of Persephone. She was extremely beautiful but yet she used Hades for power. She betrayed him and ran away with a mortal and having a half-breed. 

My thoughts faded away when the air started to become freezing and the air was biting at my skin. I wrapped my arms around myself and my teeth were chattering against each other. 

"You think that the Underworld was deathly hot but yet there is a random place that just had to be blistering cold.", I said to myself. Great now you are talking to yourself. My thoughts said to me. 

I looked around and saw that the walls were covered in frost and stalactites were hanging from the ceiling and dripping cold water. One drop went down my shirt and I squealed at how cold the water was. The air was drying out my throat and I could feel little crystals forming around my face. 

The hall way started to get foggy and it was becoming impossible to see. I reached my arms out, to guide my way through the fog and not fall into a ditch or walk into a beast. 

I jumped when my fingers touched an object and it was cold. I tried to adjust my eyes to the fog and the lack of light but I could make out a body. A person.  

I breathed out a heavy breathe and steam came out of my mouth. As the steam hit this block of ice, their eyes shot open. I screamed in shock and jumped away from the person. My heart felt like it could burst any second. 

The persons eyes were an electric blue and I couldn't make out if it was a man or a woman trapped in this ice prison. I calmed down and pulled myself together and walked closer to the person. I stared at it and it stared back at me. 

"Come closer.", a voice said and it was coming from the person. 

"Who are you?", I asked, staying in my same position and not moving an inch towards the person. 

"I cannot remember. What year is it?"

"It's twenty-nineteen. Why are you trapped in this ice prison?"

"That I cannot remember either.", this persons voice was ragged and it was still difficult to identify the gender.

"So, Hades erased your memory."

"I believe so but I have no idea why. Can you break me out of here?"

"I would really like to help but if you were put here for a reason, so there is nothing that I can do.", I told the poor soul but I felt bad. 

"Please, it's freezing and I haven't seen daylight in years.", it said and I could see the pain in his eyes. 

I was about to answer when the ground beneath me started to shake. I was losing my balance and fell to the ground. 

"Violet!", Hades voice roared through the entire castle and the ground shook more. 

"He is going to bring the whole place down.", I said and got up quickly as I could. I looked at the person one last time and started running down the pah that brought me here. 

I ran as fast as I could and the castle was still shaking. One of the stalactites fell from the ceiling and nearly impaled me. 

"This fucking idiot.", I said to myself and ran faster. 

I started to fell the air getting warmer and the crystals that were on my face melted away. I took a sharp turn and ran into a brick wall. 

"Where have you been hiding little one?", Hades said, looking down at me and I knew that I was in a lot of trouble.
