A Dare

" Come on Manu! Just walk into the cave and swear your heart and love to the devil! after that we'll give you your books back, promise!" said Katie hopping up and down on the grassy hill. The rest of the girls did the same, pumping their arms up and down.I sighed loudly.

"Fine, but you know i'm afraid of the dark! You guys are so mean." I replied.

All the girls cheered and screamed "Yeah! you go Manu!". I walked hesitantly into the dark cave, puddles splashing under my shoes. I herd Katie yell "go farther!" and saw her pointing in. I stepped deeper and deeper into the cave, sweat dripping off the side of my brow. I stopped, the girls no longer cheered.A loud thump echoed behind me.NO!she wouldn't! Katie yelled through a crack "we won't let you out till you yell it loudly!"

I crumpled to my knees, tears streaming down my face.

"F-f-Fine! My-my heart and love belongs to t-the devil! now let me out! please!" I bellowed into the darkness.I felt my knee get scratched on something.The girls-or Katie- never let me out. I sat in the middle of a dark cave\, tears streaming down my face. After a long time\, a dim grey light flickered in the cave. I perked up a little. Maybe they're gonna let me out! I scrambled to my feet, and walked twords the light. A young man stood there, in a black suit.The light came from him, his body. I tripped over a rock and fell onto my face, scratching my cheeks.

"Awwww...why am I so clumsy?!" I mumbled to myself. The glow came twords me, and then in the flicker of a flame we were in somewhere else.I quickly got up and patted my self off. I had two cuts on my cheek, and one -as in 4- on my legs. The man was tall, and very, very handsome.He had long coal black hair tied up on the sides. pale-perfect skin, a muscular body.And a pair of...red eyes. I stared into them, interested. They were beautiful, not scary at all. They glistened as if they had some thing to say.

"earlier, about a few hours ago you swore that your heart and love belonged to me, did you mean that? If not I will send you to the darkest depths of hell for liying to the king of lies." He spoke almost lightly. I paused for a moment, and thought. He did save me from being stuck in that cave, and offered dating me so...yes? I looked right into his eyes

"Yes, I did."

in a moment, his face went from serious to sly and playful. I stumbled into the table behind me in suprize. The man grabbed my waist and pulled me in only an inch infront of his face. My ears went red, he's too close! 

"Than, dearest. I am Hades, welcome to my dark kingdom.what is your name?"

I was beet red now I leaned back, And Hades leaned in.

"M-manu! My name is Manu Hitaki"

Hades other hand went on my waist, and I leaned back to the table. my hand clutched the table edge tight. Hades leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips. My face turned pink, OH! My nuckles were white now. Hades let go of my lips. I stayed still like a statue, a suprized look of shock on my face.
