I WALK THROUGH THE GATES KNOWING WERE I AM
'WELCOME TO-" A TALL MAN SAYS, AS HE COMES INTO MY VISION.
"HELL." I FINISH THE SENTANCE FOR HIM.
"MY NAME IS-" HE TRIES TO GIVE ME HIS WELCOME SPEECH AGIAN.
"HADES?" I FINISH FOR HIM AGAIN WITH A HINT OF QUESTION IN MY VOICE.
"WHO ARE YOU?" HE ASKS ME AND I CATCH A HINT OF PAIN IN HIS VOICE.
"I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO LOOK LIKE THIS." I SAY WITHOUT ANSWERING HIS QUESTION.
HE FLINCHES FORWARD, HE'S NOW ONLY INCHES AWAY FROM ME.
HE LOWERS HIS HEAD AND SAYS,
'I ASKED YOU A QUESTION SO YOU ASWER ME AND FOR GOD SAKE STOP INTERUPTING ME.'
'AMBER RAVEN... MY NAME IS AMBER RAVEN.' I HISS.
'THAT'S INPOSSIBLE. SHE IS AN ANGEL MADE TO- TO BRING HOPE BACK TO EARTH.'
HE BREATHS HEAVY AS HE LOOKS ME UP AND DOWN,
THAT'S WHEN HE NOTICES THE WHITE WINGS TURNED A BEAUTIFUL AND DARK SHADE OF RED.
'WELL I DON'T LIKE FOLLOWING GODS RULES, SO I TURNED TO THE MAN I KNEW WOULD HOLD MY HEART AND NOT BREAK IT, NOT LIKE GOD DID.'
HE DOESN'T ASWER AND STILL LOOKS AT ME IN SHOCK.
'I TRUSTED HIM, I TRUSTED MY FATHER, AND HE BROKE MY HEART.
SO, I BROKE EARTH A LITTLE MORE, SHOOK IT UP.
I'VE NEVER FELT SO FREE AS THE DAY I STAINED MY WINGS AND FOUND OUT I LOOK WAY BETTER IN RED THAN IN WHITE.'
HE CHUCKLES AND OPENS HIS MOUTH,
'I GUESS, WELCOME HOME THEN MY QUEEN. I'DD BE GLAD TO LET MY BROTHER KNOW YOU ARE MINE NOW.'
I SMILE NOW TOO.
HE BRINGS HIS LIPS DOWN TO MINE AND WISPERS,
'MINE.'
HE CONNECTS OUR LIPS AND WHEN HE TAKES A STEP BACK HE HISSES,
'ONLY. MINE.'
BEFORE HE TURNES AROUND AND WALKS AWAY.
