this is not her body upon his sheets-- he remembers her pulling him down upon her on the rich dark earth, he offers her his chiton and she laughs saying "i want nothing between us or our kingdom
her eyes-- she's given him many looks; spite, love, hatred, but not fear. never eyes filled with fear
her scent-- she smells of life, and of the sun, and of the rich soil freshly tilled. This woman smells of death.
Hades brushes a tear from this woman--this not-Persephone-- face. Looks upon eyes filled with fear but determined to endure. He knows what it is like to endure.
He doesn't want this.
He never wanted this.
He rolls off of her, slowly buttoning his shirt-- stars above, he didn't even give her the dignity of taking off his clothes. Just dragging her to his bed as if he was one of his brothers. Interested in solely rutting anyone who breathes in their direction.
A soft shuffle. "Mister--I mean, my lord--," she starts.
He lets out a sigh, long and low, and turns back to her. "I've made a horrible mistake, and I think you have too."

(unbeta'd sorry T_T)

She remembers that others of her kind said that the ichor of life tasted the sweetest from the leg. Just sinking into the femoral artery between the thigh and groin, slowly sipping the Force from their heart was the greatest ecstasy. Rey had never tried it. Too close. Too intimate. Just too everything. Better to slink up behind someone silently. They say not to eat and run but running was all that Rey knew.

Til now.

She takes in the form on the bed.

"Are you ready?" she asks.

A nod.

She sinks her teeth into Ben's thigh and drinks.
