Here in the Garden


Show/Movie/Story/Legend: Greek mythology

Character/Celeb/know people: Persephone and Hades

A flower garden. A flower garden was how it all started. The start of the rest of her life. Persephone stood in her long white gown in front of a mirror, pink and blue flowers settled in her shaking hands. This was where she stood as she closed her eyes and recalled how this whole thing began.

The year was 325 BC, Persephone had been in her teenage youth, 16. 16 was how old she was when she met him. Persephone was crouched over, sniffing the roses she had planted in the garden with her mother, Demeter the wife of zeus. She was in the garden with her siblings or. So she had been. She didn't even realize they had rushed off, she didn't know when they rushed off or when she realized they had rushed off. What she did realize however was that the ground beneath her seemed to... Shake? "Well that's not normal." she muttered. The Ground opened up behind her which caused her to turn around. She fell back onto her back from the vibrations that seemed to generate from the hole.

Persephone didn't know who or what was about to rise from this dark, dank, deep canyon that just opened up behind her, almost close enough to engulf her. As she looked at the hole in fear she saw a hand appearing up and out of the hole before a body emerged. A man. He hovered over the hole before it seemed to close under him. This was when she was able to regain her strength.

Persephone crab walked backwards for a few seconds before scrambling to her feet in fear. Once to her feet she wasted no time in rushing off deeper into the woods. She ran, she didn't know how long she had been running but every once in a while she could hear heavy footsteps chasing after her, and every once in a while she could hear a screech of despair as it chanced her. The screech was almost demonic.

It seemed like persephone had been running for ages, she had no concept of time and sooner rather than later she grew tired. Her chest ached and it felt like her lungs were either going to burst or deflate, both complete opposites but equally as terrible if they happened. Her rib cage felt like it would collapse on her any moment, and soon enough she came to a stop. Her legs couldn't move any more. As she slid to a halt her heel hit a rock which sent her tumbling, her head hit the side of a tree and she fell to the ground. Suddenly her vision grew hazy and her eyes glossed over as the world swirled around her. Soon the trees that continued to swirl were replaced with a face, his face. That was the last thing she saw before blacking out.

Once she came to a soft groan came from her mouth before she was able to gain control of her body and mind she opened her eyes. She was in a deep dark cave, there was an eerie sense of death in this room and she couldn't put her finger as to why that was or could be.

She woke up lying on a bed made of rock, the thin blanket over her didnt do much for her. She finally sat up, a groan slipped from her mouth as she did. Once up she saw a man, the same man from the forest, he seemed to be standing over a pot with some potion items around it. "Hey! Who are you, Why are you doing this to me?" she asked in an annoyed but fearful tone. She could hear chuckles coming from him before he turned around with a small vile that seemed to have some strange pink glittery, glowing liquid in it. "My name is Hades, surely you've heard of me, right persephone?" he said in a deep voice.

It was only now she realized she was a cage, trapped life a framed prisoner. Her eyebrows furrowed at the question before shaking her head, "No ive Never" she stopped, no. thats not was important in this situation. "How do you know my name!?" she asked in a curious but rude tone. The man, hades, just laughed once more "doesnt matter my der, what matters is that your mine now drink this." he said handing the previously mentioned vile to her.

"Why?" she asked "so you can kill me?" she muttered rudely as she crossed her arm. He gave a low growl and pinched the bridge of his nose before deeply sighing. "No so it can help withyour head Miss Priss, or do you was giant bruise?" he said continuing to hand vile to her. She looked between him and vile and repeated that a few times before finally taking it.

"Thanks..." she muttered softly before popping the cork that was pushed into the opening. Once opened, pink sparkling mist began to rise from it. She eyes it before slowly bringing it to her lips and downing it.

'Odd...' Persephone thought 'This tastes like those Love potions Aphrodite made made me try." She thought to her self before shrugging the thought off. Hades smiled down at her "get some rest you've had a long day" he muttered and began to walk away.

Suddenly her hand reached through the bar and grabbed his wrist "wait-" she called out. The yell echoed around the room a few times and then, there was silence.

Hades turned to her, his eyes Landing on her own previously blue, Now Pink, eyes. "Yes?" He asked, his tone a bit deeper but it hinted at amusement knowing what she wanted. He kneeled down to her level.

"I- um, I dunno. I just... don't want you to leave" she muttered in a bit of a shy voice. He gave an amused smile before letting his hand through the bars to place on her cheeks.

Persephone backed away slightly before she leaned into his touch, she looked up at his with her sparkling pink eyes. Her gave her a sweet smile as his thumb ran over her cheek bone "your eyes are more dazzling the the stars reflecting up from the ocean"

"Oh- I um thank you. They aret really that pretty but there's nothing can really do cause you know there my eyes and..." Persephone continued to ramble on, and as she did Hades was slowly inching closer and before she knew it a gasp escaped her when she felt him press his lips to hers.

Persephone inhaled and opened her eyes, she was met with the sight of her self in the wedding dress. "Memories..." she muttered before a smile made its way on her face.

She herd a knock "Mrs.Persephone, they are ready for you." Someone said from the other side. "Coming" she muttered before heading out the door.

She inhaled "here comes the start of the rest of my life, let's see where life takes me." She said before walking down the hall to the door that would lead to the rest of her life in the underworld.

The End

Or is it...?
