Chapter 12 - Persephone
PePOV
"Persephone!" he yelled for the 1000th time and I ignored him. For more years than imaginable he held me here, and he still thinks I will come around. "Mistress, shouldn't you go to him?" Medea asked. "No. Let him burn in his fury. Hades is not my master," I said walking away. I was so tired of this life. I was nearing the gardens, my only happiness here, when I felt it. The awakening. I smiled without thought, the GODs had awaken and now Hades will get his due. I decided to go to him then, I needed to know everything. If I was to be his undoing.
"You yelled," I greeted sternly. "Why must you be so difficult," he sneered, "Now is not the time." I laughed, "Since when it is ever the time." He came close to me then. "We will rule the GODs my bride, you and I, when this is over. Do not act a fool, you must have felt the awakening. Our time is coming," he sang. Oh I love raining on his happiness, "And what of the Princess, the child, the one who is destined to destroy you? What of her? I seriously doubt you had forgotten her and her mother," I hissed the last part for good measure. "All in time my bride, she will be dealt with," he touched my face then, "You will help me with this. The oracle has seen it." I shared a glance with her, we had long been planning this. "If the Oracle has seen it, then it shall be," I left then. I never stayed long in his company. And soon I would never need to tolerate him again. I reached out to her, knowing our bond, "Trust in me sister, I have always been on your side."
BPOVI was helping Alice move some flowers when someone's words clouded my mind.
"Trust in me sister, I have always been on your side."I dropped the vase and froze. That voice, I knew that voice.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward said full of fear. Soon everyone was around me, all but my mother and Alice.
"Mother, whose voice was that?" I asked knowing she knew.
"Persephone," she answered. "Why did she call me sister?" I begged.
She gave that look that it would be a long story...
ApPOV"Its complicated, my daughter" I reasoned. "I need to know," she persisted. And everyone seemed to be backing her up on this. I turned to Poseidon. "Go ahead."
"This does not paint Zeus is the best light and he has long tried to forget this detail. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, her mother was a enchantress, or witch you could say. A lesser GOD, the offspring of a GOD and Demi-God. Which was something unheard of. Demeter had another child by a mortal man, Anora. When Hades took Persephone to the Underworld, it was Anora who took her mother's place in the coven. She was a Celtic Princess. The Princess..The one who helped the GODs fall, who brought war to Olympia over her sister. Zeus had helped Hades take Persephone in hopes it would appease him and keep him at bay, but nothing will ever make Hades happy. "
"He married his daughter to his brother?" Rosalie grimaced.
I nodded, "It was not unheard of. Our blood lines are pure, it is how a true GOD is made. We do not fool the rules of man. But never the less. Anora was the first incarnation, the second was my child Isabella, and now you are here again Bella. Though this time with the same name. Which in itself is a powerful meaning." I paused, "If Persephone is reaching out to you then she has felt the awakening even in the Underworld. She will be returning to this world soon with Spring approaching. She will seek you out. Either to help you or hurt you."
"She said she was always on my side..." Bella started to say but then it was like a fog was lifted from her eyes."She was the one who put me up to it back then. She encourage the war."
"Yes, Persephone wants to be rid of Hades. And to reunite with her family. If she is reaching out now, Hades must have plans for her when she returns here." I told her her. What I left out was Persephone was a wild card, she hated Hades but she hated her father Zeus as well. She wanted them both to pay.
PePOVSpring was here, I could feel it in my bones. Soon I would be returning. "I will find you sister" I whispered to the wind. "Persephone," Hades said as he came to me, "It is our last night together for many night. I will not waste a moment of it." He started to undress me and kiss my skin. I felt my stomach turn. I was resolved to this torture, to this routine. Soon he would know my suffering.
