A/N: Please enjoy!
It was easy enough to get her, Hades realized as he had Persephone in his grasp. All he had to do was take her out of the field that she was in and back into his realm. It had been easier than he thought and he could keep her as long as he wanted. He knew that would be forever and it wouldn’t matter what she thought in the end.
Persephone had struggled as she was captured and continued as she was brought back down into the underworld. “Let me go!” She yelled.
“No,” Hades said calmly as he kept a tight grasp on her.
“You cannot just kidnap people on a whim!” She yelled at him, continuing to struggle.
“I can when I want to make the one I captured my consort,” he responded calmly to her. He would not add the other part of his plan – to make her his Queen – until after she had calmed down a bit.
“You cannot be serious!” she yelled at him as she struggled to get out of his grasp.
“I am deadly serious, beautiful lady,” he said with a smile at her. “It would be better if you did submit to me.”
“I will not!” she said as she continued to struggle. “Let me go!”
“And where would you go to?” He whispered in her ear. “Look at where you are. Explain to me where you would go.”
She stopped struggling, looking around as she did so. Her heart sank as she realized that she was in the Underworld. There was no escape from here and she knew that. “No,” she whispered.
“Yes,” he whispered as he kissed her shoulder. “Now, will you submit or are you going to continue to struggle and make a scene?”
She turned and started to struggle again, moving to claw out his eyes. “I am not going to submit to you!”
He caught her wrists easily, her hands never reaching their intended target. “It will be harder on you if you do not,” he said with a sigh. “I will just take what I want at first and not care about what you want. You already know that. Why not just submit and make it a ton easier on yourself?”
“Because I learned at a young age not to just submit,” she responded with fire in her eyes. “I fight to be let free.”
He smirked as he heard her answer, along with the fire in her eyes. “I do like to break the ones that will not just go along.”
“You bastard,” she hissed at him.
“Why thank you,” he responded as he moved and kissed her lips hard. He tried to force her tongue in her mouth as she pulled away from him. She spit in his face, continuing to struggle. He quickly put both of her wrists into one hand and then used his newly freed hand to slap her hard across her face. “You are not to do that again,” he said angrily to her. “Or it will be more than just one slap. Do you understand?”
She stopped struggling, just looking at him a bit numb. She nodded a yes, hanging her head down as she did so. “I just want to go home,” she whispered, blinking away tears.
He looked surprised at her. It was odd when one single action could break someone so easily. Maybe she does want it as much as she’s protesting that she doesn’t he thought to himself with some amusement. “That is not going to happen,” he replied quietly to her. “I have taken you – therefore you are mine. I do not just let a beautiful treasure such as yourself to go free.”
She shivered as she heard his words. “So I am just to be a plaything then?” She whispered.
“No,” he said quietly and let her think on that as she looked surprised. “I do not just take randomly, beautiful one.”
“You could use my name,” she whispered.
“I could, Persephone, but I like my name for you better,” he said with a smirk. “Or I could use the title I want to give you.”
“And what is that?” She asked in a whisper.
“For you to find out when I want to use it for you,” he whispered as he kissed her cheek softly. “Now, if I let go of your wrists, are you going to behave?”
“Yes,” she whispered as her heart sank. There was no place for her to run to – she was stuck here.
“Good,” he whispered as he let go of her wrists. He was happily surprised when her arms just went back to her sides and she didn’t try to run away. He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closely to him. “Now, are you hungry?”
“Yes,” she whispered as she closed her eyes at feeling him so close to her. She wasn’t ready for that just yet.
“Come then,” he said as he held tightly to her. They disappeared from one area to a great hall. The people there stood as Hades appeared, bowing to him as well. He smiled and led her to the head of the table, keeping her close as he did so. He motioned for her to sit at the seat closest to him and she did before he sat down himself. At that sign, the servants started to serve the food for everyone to eat. She ate a small bit, pushing her food about on her plate as she did so. He noticed and leaned over to whisper to her “It is a long time before another meal or breakfast itself. I’d recommend that you eat.”
“Of course,” she whispered as she started to eat. When she had eaten as much as she could, she laid down her silverware and sat back in the seat. A few moments later, she felt a hand on her upper thigh. She stiffened a bit as she looked to where the touch was coming from.
He smiled at her and gently picked her out of her chair to put her in his lap. “Just relax,” he whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her.
She tried to, leaning back against him a bit. She realized that it was best to be where she was as a small argument had broken out. She could tell that he was listening to both sides before making his decision. She relaxed a small bit, her head lying against his chest as she felt the warmth off of him. She hadn’t expected him to be comfortable and feel safe, but he was. She closed her eyes for a moment and the next thing she knew, they were walking. Well, he was walking and carrying her. “What happened?” She whispered.
“You fell asleep,” he said quietly to her. “And the court dinner was over by then and so were all the politics. Sometimes it is best to kill two birds with one stone.”
“Oh,” she whispered as she moved and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Where are we going?”
“My bedroom,” he replied.
She stiffened as she heard the answer but then relaxed as she resigned herself to her fate. If he wanted her, he was going to have her – why should she go against that? She felt safe, so she must be safe, even though she wasn’t sure about what she was getting herself into. “Oh,” she whispered.
“I know you don’t want to, so we won’t,” he said quietly to her. “As much as it would be pleasurable to just take you, it would only be one sided. So I’d rather just keep you close,” he explained to her.
“Oh,” she whispered as she relaxed more at hearing that. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” he replied as they got to his rooms. He laid her down on the bed before getting ready for bed himself. She watched him, smiling to herself as she did. It wasn’t long before he came to bed and kept her promise. She was kept close but nothing was done that she didn’t want.
There were like that for a long while before she let him have her. By then, she had grown to love him as he loved her in the first instant that he saw her. She slowly became his Queen and sat beside him in all matters that involved the Underworld and its court. It became second nature to be next to him that she did not want to leave when she was told she had to. The trick was both of their ideas, as he did not want to lose her, so she had eaten of the pomegranate. What nobody knew is that she kept the seeds with her, eating one every so often so she could return to the Underworld sooner than her mother wanted her to. On Earth, the days closer to winter came sooner as sooner as the Underworld stayed warm with love.
