What would happen if a Goddess wished for death? Most of her life Persephone was raised as a mortal girl, living on Earth in meadows and forests with woodland nymphs. Kept away from Mount Olympus by her mother, to save her from the problems that often arise between the Gods and Goddesses there, jealousy, betrayal, lust... Love. But her little experience with Gods leaves her vulnerable to one of the most feared Gods, Hades. Just how many troubles and heartache can one Goddess endure in an eternity?

I stared at the flawless but not taint less Hades who seemed to be mourning inside. I could see everything, and I knew everything about him. And yet, I do not know if he loves me, and I don't know if my love for him is true either. That is why I will test it with a kiss... #1 Hades 🏅 #7 Ares #9 Persephone

Based off the original Greek myth: Hades pushes me up against the wall. His breath fanning over my neck as I push against his chest. "Don't pretend Persephone." He mumbles pressing his lips to my neck. "You have feelings for me, I can see it." He continues to assault my neck trailing kisses lower. "Your mother or Apollo can't take you away," He says in between kisses. Hades makes his way back to my jawline. "Because despite what you say you don't want to leave." His blue eyes stare into mine. His lips come crashing down on mine: my first kiss.
