I don’t play, just love!!…

*I am a liar...but this liar loves you wildly, endlessly, insanely and infinitely!!...*

**Hades**
“You would have hated me if I had told you the truth,” I replied painedly.
“Then that is your mistake made, for you should have trusted me,” she told me, making me hang my head in guilt.
“Then you’re right, that was my mistake, but I promise it is not as it seems, and if you would just trust me now, I will tell you everything, but please… please, by the Gods, Kora, just don’t fucking be angry with me,” I pleaded with her. She tore herself away from the sight of me, turning her back on me.
“Kora, please… fucking hell, just look at me! You have to trust me. I just wanted to protect you!”
“Protect me!?” She shouted, whipping back around to face me, the look of disbelief clear.
“Yes,” I answered quickly.
“Protect me from what!? You acted as if you loved me. But this was all a lie. You pretended to love me and brought me here, eventhough I told you it was a bad idea many times. Every single thing was planned and executed perfectly. I trusted you, and you dumped me straight to my death!” She yelled.
"Finally, you got her Hades! I had feared that the lover boy's mission would be too hard and you would fail like a dumb shit, but with every task you took, you did it perfectly. Look at her, she has clearly fallen in love and is crying!" Vlad sneered, showing his true colours. Manipulative bastard!
"You're insane if you think this mind game of yours will actually work!" I spat the insult at him. He just laughed it off like some freaky jester.
"And you are a player! Now that we are done, hand over the girl! The deal is sealed!"
"What deal!? Stop all this bullshit! Your enmity is with me, so if you want to play this game...then I will play...but...let her go!" I said, dropping my cool demeanour.
"...but to play our game, I think we need more players, don’t you?” He continued as he moved towards Kora and showed her something.
“LET Mira GO!” She gasped and screamed, seeing Mira's necklace in Vlad's hand.
“Uh huh…I think not so easily!" he told Kora and then whispered down at me, "I must say, all that waiting really paid off. I never thought you and your useless, wingless friend Jericho would easily pull off the plan. All it really took was fake love, trust and a game to bring her inside the enemy lines!"
"Hades!?" Kora looked at me with the faintest glimmer of hope, silently asking me to prove Vlad wrong. But all she could see was emotion...defence...guilt...shame. I had no proof except for my words. Her heart broke, and she collapsed on the floor. Her body curled up in a foetal position...lost and hurt. She cried for a few minutes till her tears ran dry.
"Kora! He is lying! There was no deal or a plan! You have to trust me!"
She didn't say anything but just gave me an accusing look. I know that she held me responsible for making her nightmares come true.
"Aww, poor little raven, crying for her wolf! If your drama is over... let's move ahead, for I don't have the time nor patience to tolerate her tears!" Vlad said, stepping ahead and giving a smug look.
"The only thing intolerable here is you!" I said, now turning to face him to warn him that his shit isn't going to work.
"Not happening, brother...eventhough I admit I'm getting bored." Vlad said smugly.
"What do you want?" Kora looked at Vlad with a murderous hate that made your skin crawl.
"Whoa! Brave girl! Now smile, and come with me!" Vlad laughed down at Kora's disgusted face.
"I will smile when I see you suffering!" Kora said with a venomous voice.
"Then you will be disappointed...now, coming back to your dear friend Mira...I will give you a choice...impale her on the gates of Bucuresti or bleed her to death?" Vlad threatened, smirking at the idea of harming people.
“If I find you have harmed her…!” I screamed.
“You will what exactly!? You actually think you’re in charge here?” Vlad walked around me, looking unimpressed and forbidding in his black clothes.
“Hades, stop it!" Kora warned me, then looked at Vlad with tears flowing down her cheeks, "I will come with you!”
My shoulders slump in defeat.
“Of course you will, so your friend still lives...for now!”
"No, Kora!" I close my eyes for tears to find a way out.
"I have to go! I am sorry!" She answered with certainty.
“NO! NO, YOU’RE FUCKING NOT!” I roared, making her step back at the sight of my wolf shouting at her. So, I turned quickly, punching my fists into the cave walls.
“Kora, please just wait…just give yourself some more time to think this through, please… I am sorry I shouted at you, but just come back to me, and we will talk! We will save Mira,” I pleaded.
"I don't trust you, Hades!" She said, now looking at Vlad and ignoring me.
“Then you don’t love me,” I just blurted mindlessly. She looked at me like I had shot an arrow into her heart.
“What did you say?!” She asked me in a warning tone.
“If you do this, it will mean you don’t love me, for in this moment it is all I ask of you…all I will ever ask of you,” I replied as her angry, hot tears started to surface. She stormed back to me and screamed in my face, “You know I love you, just as I know you love me… and I will still love you, no matter you lied.”
I felt so pained at her words that I couldn’t even look at her.
“I love you, Kora! I will love you until the day I die and far beyond it. But now it’s time that you trust me.” I closed my eyes and tried to stop her again, “Please, Kora… don’t do this.”
"I need time to trust you again fully.”
“You think my love for you needs fucking testing!” I snarled.
She looked at me and said, “Yes.” At this, I frowned and snapped, “What the fuck does that mean?!” She didn’t answer him but walked towards Vlad and said, “I am coming.”
“What does that mean!?” I shouted again and panicked when she didn’t answer me, “NO! You cannot be fucking serious! I swear to you, Kora, if you go with him, I will unleash my fucking wolf and destroy myself!”
She looked back at me with a single tear in her eyes and told me, “I know you won’t, because that would mean you would destroy my heart that you own. You may have broken my trust, so now it’s time to keep my heart safe that I gave you.”
I snarled in return, too far gone in my rage, for I had tried everything to stop this and failed.
“Oh, how very touching. Now come fast before I sleep of boredom!” Vlad quipped. The moment he said those words, my wolf erupted, and my Hellish body stormed towards him, ready to tear him down with my bare hands.
“Shut the fuck up?!” I roared as my body leant forward into the bellow of rage, with my three heads erupting and my veins on fire. I was not the usual arrogant, cold-hearted bastard. For now, I was beyond fucking furious! I grabbed his throat and kicked him hard enough that it broke the bone and shattered the kneecap of the mightiest vampire. He landed hard on the floor, making it crack. I moved towards him and wrapped a razor-tipped talon around his ankle just before he could heal. I pulled him and threw him sideways toward the wall. He smashed into the wall and fell to the ground in a broken mess of feathers and bones.
"Fuck you, Hades! Didn't we make a deal? You won't touch my wings, and I will stay away from your heads!" Vlad spoke, crawling his mangled body. One wing was dragging along behind him, all broken and twisted.
"Fuck the deal!" I snarled with my powerful physique on display, aflame with pure hate. He turned his head up and was about to protest, but I speared him like a guillotine with one full-length sword that shot out of his arm. He twitched around the blade to move, but with a swift twist of my wrist, the blade turned inside his body. I was sure that he was alive. The fucker had supersonic healing powers. And fuck me, my prediction was correct when I removed the sword from his body. His wing folded and connected to his backbone, whereas his joints twisted back, and the wounds started to heal. He stretched out his wings and hung upside down on the ceiling like a bat. His handsome face turned to the bloodlust of a Vampire gone insane. I knew this the second his eyes seeped with blood, veins turning black and purple and skin to faint reddish ash. His fangs dripped with saliva, and deadly-looking claws grew from under his fingernails, flicking the once perfectly manicured ones off to the floor in a splat of blood. Then he snarled at me, and I was again faced with a deadly moment, only this time I wasn’t facing my brother. No, I was facing the strength and speed of a vampire. This time, I was facing death.

*Vlad: "She's mine, stay away!"
Hades: "Keep trying, she'll remain mine!!...*
