She's different

Hades pov

'Hmmm what punishment should I give her.' I think to myself, I 've always been in need of a PA, she will be perfect for the job,'are you sure or maybe you just want to be close to her?' My subconcious asks with a mocking tone. 'No way in hell.' I try to convince myself .

I am interrupted from my self debate by a knock on the door. Jules walks in with a nervous look on her face. she tucks her hair behind her ear which I've realised is what she does when she is nervous.

I pretend to think of a punishment for her even though I have already come up with one. "Because I'm a merciful king I've decided to gice you a mellow punishment, you are going to be my PA, from now on you will be a second shadow, whatever I need you deliver failure to do so, there will be consequences. Ok?" I make sure to let her know there will be bad things coming 8f she dares defy me, so far she's been nothing but rude if it was another king she may just be worm territory by now. "Ok" she finally replies in a reluctant voice but I notice the dissapointed look that graces her face, was she expecting something else?

I spend the whole day dealing with the humans government, coming up with new rules to help my people.

I look up rubbing my eyes, I hate paper work, I prefer being outside with a book but I guess it comes with the territory. I find her staring at my face with a dazed look, I am about to ask her what is wrong with her( ok seriously since when did I start caring if people are in a happy mood) when her voice pipes up with an unmisktable sad tone,"So what happened to my aunt?" I answer her and notice the small smile that makes its way to her lips, surprisingly the same is on mine, maybe she's a witch and I'm under her spell. 'Yeah Hades cause that definitely makes more sense than you kind of maybe liking her.' I roll my eyes at the voice inside that chooses to speak up only to mock me.

I'm in the mood for the gentle breeze that comes with being outside and the bright moon that brings comfort to my heart. "Let's go for a stroll." I demand but walk out not waiting for a reply, I wonder why I bringing her since she's clearly not needed but I move those thoughts to the back of my head deciding I just don't feel like being alone.

The night is cool, crickets chirping occasionally, I can feel eyes watching from the darkness offered by the trees but being the biggest preditor in these lands I'm certain of our safety.

Julliet suddenly starts humming a tune, swaying her hips. The gentle movement of her saucy curves have me entranced, I feel blood rushing south as whole body moves in rhythm to everything, the wind the trees, it feeos like the whole earth is movimg with her to the same tune. I'm sure I look like a lost puppy watching her graceful body move with no inhibitons like she's the only one on eart with no worries. She turns and looks at me finally opening her eyes as her blood rushes to her cheeks. Loosing the smile that is on my face at that moment is harder than fighting with Egordian for the siterian lands but it's all I manage my eyes still shining with awe.

"So what's your name? " Her question breaks the eerie silence that had covered us. Her question registers in my mind causing warning bells to go off, I can't let her get any closer to me than she is,"Who are you to know my name ,you should know your place." Her red face does nothing to hide her anger, she's kind of cute when she's mad with her face all red and breasts heaving with harsh breathing, "look here, if you didn't want to tell me, you could have just said so, I know I am a maid and not by choice either but that doesn't mean you are supposed to treat me like dirt." Her voice comes out breathlessly. She starts walking away, but before I can stop myself, I find myself telling her my name.

"Hades hmm I like it."I say more to myself. "If anyone else is to find out, be certain to lose your tongue, I don't like people calling me by name." "But can I call you by your name, when we are alone?" I ask before I can stop myself, Ok Albert Einstein, know one thing you should have invented? A mouth filter, for blabber mouths like me, I'm sure it would have saved plenty of lives. "You don't have to, I will just call..." "Yes, but don't get used to it." He interrupts me.

That night as I lie on my bed I find myself thinking about the vampire lo..., I mean Hades. He let me call him by his name and was kind of sweet to me I choose to ignore that it was after a day of being kind of an asshole. Is it me or was he starting to act differently towards me? He was better, not what you would expect from a vampire king, at least it won't be such a long year.

"Brrrrr!" That stupid alarm, I have to tell Jade to stop putting it on. We haven't been talking much and honestly I am ok with that. This is not exactly the place to have girlfriends to go to malls and have sleepovers with.

I knock on the study door before go in ."Breakfast's here ." I say in a cheerful voice, for some reason I am happy today.

"Urrrgh keep it down I'm having a hangover here." A giggle escapes my mouth before I can stop it."What?" he asks in an irritated voice. " Where were you yesterday to get a hangover?" Some may say I was pushing my luck here and I completely agree. "A party where else?" "Sheesh it was just a simple question, no need to get pissy on me, kingboss." I of course say all this in my head, I might be stupid but not that stupid. "Today we are going to my friends home for some business and you are coming with me." "Ok so are we going now or later?" "Yes now, go get a coat and meet me in the car."

On the way I look outside and admire the beautiful surrounding, there were trees everywhere and this edgy feeling around it that I loved, I couldn't help the smile that crept its way to my lips.

When we reach this mysterious so called friends place, I am amazed by the beautiful mansion which is more like a castle. when we ring the doorbell a Butler opens the door,"Welcome my liege, little miss." He says while bowing his head. Was the little really necessary, way to make me feel self- concious old man.

When we are ushered into the living room we find a young lady, an older woman and an old man. The girl is beautiful with blond hair and blue eyes, I'm not a fashionista but I'm sure those clothes are designer and not the less expensive ones at that, everything is manicured to perfection and I feel shabby in her presence. Her eyes look at me with a glare, which immediately make her look like the wicked witch of the west, well there goes our imagined bestfriendship."Morning Mr. Grayson" the man greets us." Morning Mr. parker." The girl comes and kisses Hades at the corner of his mouth,"morning Hades." She chirps in a flirty tone. I can't help wanting to stick my heel up her ass. Woah woah woah, I'm I... Jealous? Nah, I immediately laugh it off, why would I be jealous anyway? "Morning Alexia." Hades responds in a bored tone, suddenly my chest doesn't feel as tight and I can breathe ok once more.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mr and Mrs Parker, they head to their study and I am left with Alexia.

"So are you Hades' pa?" She drags out the 'so'. "Yes" I'm not really paying attention to her but more to the paintings around which look amazing, they're of battle scenes that look gruesome but something about them draws me in. Before I know it, she is next to my face," Listen here you little human maid you better keep your itching little trump fingers to yourself Hades is mine you got that." Ok seriously, what is people and bursting into my personal bubble. "Woah woah woah, first of all, I could hear you from all the way over there, so do you mind and second if you are so confident that Hades is yours, why are you all up in my face? Third call me a trump again and you will rue the day you crossed my path." I say in a sweet voice but the expression on my face was definitely not sweet, I'm not a violent person but I don'y condone people who love walking all over others no matter who they are. "You little bitch!" She yells about to slap me but a deep voice stops her, "lay a hand on her and you won't have hands." He sound so dark that even I flinch."But Hades, what's so great about her that you defend her from me? She is just a human and not an elite." she says in a whiny voice. " She is different," he says almost to himself. Oh. My. God, did he just say that I am different? " Let's go Jules." Hades snaps me out of my trance walking outside with tensed footsteps, anger emanates from him in waves that almost choke me.

We don't speak on the way home and the silence is almost choking, but when we get to his study room, I can't keep to myself anymore, "thank you for defending me, it means a lot to me." He nods his head dismissively. "So did you mean it,what you said back there?" The need to know overpowers all other thoughts. "Yes, yes I did you are different from this snobbish people around me who love kissing my ass, you don't fall at my feet like everyone else ,you call me out when you think I am wrong, it's different...but good different." Oook. That caught me of guard, "You should go and rest it was a long day for you."

I couldn't believe it, huh? He actually meant it, he thought I was different... Good different, I could definitely get used to this.
