    were calling to me. I could feel it deep inside my soul. Because of you, I had become restless. I had to find you. Though I never imagined I’d find a princess of death.” He smiled, a brilliant grin. His teeth were a bright white. I blushed. “I’m no princess.” “But you are as beautiful as one.” Now he was the one that was blushing. “Are there any more of you left? Persephone? Your brothers?” His head drooped. “They all disappeared long ago. She never loved me anyway. She was just a companion, to keep the loneliness at bay. I’ve been alone for over a thousand years.” His face fell and I missed his smile. “So when you felt me calling…” “I was just tired of being alone,” he murmured. “The dead aren’t very lively.” I placed my hand on his arm, and his hand came up to wrap around mine. His skin was surprisingly warm. “You don’t have to pity me.” “I don’t.” His eyes snapped up to mine. “I understand.” “You are alone?” He asked, taking my hand in his and drawing abstract patterns on my palm. “Besides my parents I’ve always been alone. I’ve never really had any friends, and I’ve never been with anyone. I always just put school first,” I said, watching him draw on my hand. “I just had Persephone but she kept to herself most of the time while she was here. I never should have brought her down here. I was just so desperate for companionship.” “So why did you bring me down here?” I asked. “If you regretted doing it to her, wouldn’t you regret doing that to someone else?” “I never ...

Though I know people that are.” I began. He put a finger over my lips to silence me. “You are a beautiful princess of the underworld, what with your skulls, pale skin, and piercing green eyes.” “Why would you invite me to stay here with you? You hardly know me.” “But I want to know you. You are the companion I’ve waited thousands of years for. I can feel it.” He took my hand and placed it over his heart. I felt heat flow from his heart to mine. He gently placed his hand on my heart. They beat in synch. Is this what I wanted? I asked myself. “I would age…” “Not if you stayed here. You would always be free to leave of course. I would never force you to stay. I made that mistake once, and I was just as lonely as I was before.” I looked at his face, and I felt my heart fill. Was this the man I had been waiting for? I had always been fascinated with Hades and the underworld. I now could explore all I wanted. And Hades was handsome, not at all how the books had portrayed him. He reached up and touched my face, bringing his in close to mine, and lightly pressing his lips to mine. I gasped, pulling back slightly. “I’m sorry…” he murmured. “I went too far.” “No I just… have never… kissed…” I stammered. “Me ...
