Persephone

Chapter 2

I screamed loudly as the arms wrapped around me. 

        "Gods calm down persephone" A femine voice called out. "It's only me dear" 

        I turned to see my Aunt Aphrodite stand in all her beauty in front of me. 

        "Auntie!" I laughed hugging her. "How have you been?" 

        "Wonderful dear just Wonderful and you?"

        "I've been doing fine. What brings you here? Is there anything going on in the mortal world?"

        "Only coming to check on my favorite neice. Did you know Theeny turned arachne into a spider? Wait you don't know what that is. It's like this weird eight legged creature that eats other bugs and makes little webs all over the place. It's totally disgusting. And you know Arachne made the best chiton's anyone could ask for"

        "Oh yeah. My mom wouldn't let me get any becasue they-"

        "were too revealing for my little girl, I know."

        "yeah" 

        "Well I've got to go now. See you later dearie" 

        "Goodbye Auntie" I called out to her. Aphrodite was a talkative one for sure but I loved her nonetheless. The other gods and goddess's came down every once in a while to talk but Aphrodite made a point to come every month and fill my head with the wonderful things of the mortal world. I wanted to go there so badly but every time I ask it's an automatic no. 

        "GODS!" I screamed out as the frustaration built up. I screamed for a while. The most pointless things really.

        "Why are you yelling?" A voice called out. I shot up like an arrow searching the meadow for the unknown voice and saw no one. 

        "Who said that?" I yelled out. 

        "Come" A single word echoed through the meadow. Suddenly a scent filled my nose, I followed after it. It was a sweet scent that reminded me of vanilla and strawberries. Gods. It smelled good.

         There was the same flower from before. I bent down to sniff it once more. I'd still had no idea what the heck it was. I shut my eyes quickly only allowing the thoughts of the scent in. All of a sudden I fell.

          I was falling into the ground. Or so I thought. Something wrapped around me and as I fell I felt myself standing on hard ground. It was a weird sensation, air was rushing above me while I stood on ground. I still had my eyes shut and I was still screaming.

                "Shut up" A voice hissed at me. I shut up. I opened my eyes and saw myself staring into a pair of dark eyes. The man I was staring at was gorgeous. He had jawlines that practically had to be perfectly sculpted and muscles lined every inch of him. He had the darkest eyes I'd ever seen and his hair was the same shade as mine. Maybe even darker. He had a small stuble alongst his chin. I was tempted to rub my hand across it. I'd never seen a man this close before. It was a surreal expereince to say.  He held onto me. 

        I was standing on a chariot. I'd never seen anything like it. The chariot was obsidian black and it seemed to shimmer with different light beams while still being completely black. I studied it for a moment and then realized what the shimmering was. It was a face. One of complete tortures. I shrieked realizing there were a lot of faces in the chariot. 

        The horses in front of me were dark and stormy. They seemed to be made of air. I could see the little particles that made up the horse.
