Persephone winced as he pressed further onto her, nearly squeezing all the air out of her fragile lungs. "P-please..! No..." she whimpered, gasping as her gown was torn to ribbons. She could already feel his icy cold skin against hers, and it made goosebumps prickle her skin. She kept trying to tear away from him, to escape his violent affections. It hurt. She had never been so naked in front of anyone other than her mother, but her mother had done everything for her, and kept her away from the world. It made this moment all the more horrifying.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>"Persephone! Persephone, where did you go?" Demeter called, watching her nymphs run out, calling for her daughter as well. It wasn't like her to be gone THIS long! Demeter was a tough looking woman, but she had a very soft spot for her daughter, so soft that she had kept her locked away from the world, and only let her out on these occasional visits to the realm of mortals.<br/><br/>One of the young nymphs kept going, still calling out the young goddess's name, when she stumbled across something that made her freeze in her steps. A circle of tightly grown flowers, a sure sign of the harvest goddess's presence, pierced with death and decay. She stood there, in utter shock, before a loud scream ripped from her.<br/><br/>Demeter and the other nymphs' heads snapped in that direction, and at once they sped there to find what was there already, as well as a newly formed spring, a sure sign one of the nymphs had unfortunately perished at the shock of such a revelation. Demeter stared blankly, stepping over to the death-filled trail that stopped as abruptly as it began. The nymphs trembled, seeming to know what would happen. They knew of Demeter's anger, though very rare, it was also deadly.<br/><br/>All at once, the harvest goddess whirled around, making the nymphs shriek as some were suddenly captured by trunks bursting from the ground, turning into full fledged trees with them inside. The others ran, but they could not escape as Demeter's anger over the loss of her daughter consumed them all.<br/><br/>After a long moment, a few tears fell from her plump face. "Persephone... my darling Persephone... If I can't have you back..." She didn't even finish her sentence as her face creased with anger, and her fists tightened at her side. In an instant, a massive area of grasses and flowers suddenly turned black and barren, as if Hades had walked over all of it. The goddess continued on her way, spreading more death and decay as she went. If she couldn't have her daughter, the humans didn't deserve to live.
