The Running of Persephone

Kore

I hovered my lips over his and when they finally connected with his I knew I'd never want to leave his side again. This was the kiss to end all kisses. If I felt any freedom before it was nothing compared to how freeing this kiss made me feel. I know now as long as I have Hades by my side I'll feel this way for the rest of my immortal life.

We laid in his bed a little while later after he showed me around his world. We hadn't eaten in who knows how long so Hades had fruit brought up for us.

"You know Kore, your mom doesn't have the power to come down here but you know you'll have to see her eventually right?" 

"Yeah I know," I sighed, "but for now I'm staying right here." I took a pomegranate seed and popped it in my mouth and smiled.

"Hey Hades."

"Yes Kore?"

"Call me Persephone."
