Persephone POV:
Rocco and I had just got back from pedicures and it was 7:30. After we got back to Marcellos room, he asked if we wanted to go for dinner downstairs. We both agreed and began to walk downstairs. We walked into the restaurant where the hostess lead us to a private dining area. We sat down when a waitress approached us, "What can I get you two gentleman today?" She looked at me weirdly and I smiled at her.
She narrowed her eyes at me which made me feel a bit uncomftorable. "Well, as you can clearly see there are three of us. I'll let Persephone order first." Marcello said.
I ordered and soon after we received our food. By the time we were ready to leave it was 9:15. I was pretty tired, I would usually be getting ready for bed by now. "Alright Sweetheart, I think we should start getting ready for bed." Marcello said.
I nodded as Rocco picked me up and put me on his back. I wrapped my legs around him and leaned my head against back and closed my eyes. He walked to a hotel room and laid me in bed. I looked around for my bag and saw it sitting on a table. Rocco must have followed my gaze and grabbed my bag. He sat it on the bed where I dug into it. I was looking for Ollie but I couldn't find him. My eyes started to water, and my breaths became uneven.
Rocco must've seen this and came to my side. Marcello came into the room and kneeled on the floor in front of me. "What's wrong Persephone?" he asked worriedly.
"I w-want Ol-lie." I said, tears streaming down my face. I can't fall asleep without him, it was the first gift anyone has ever given me. What if I won't be able to find him? What if I left him at the house? What if someone took him?
Rocco tried pulling me in for a hug but I pushed him away, "I j-just w-ant Oll-lie," I cried into my hands. Marcello grabbed his phone and called someone. After about 5 or 6 minutes he came back and started to rub my back. He whispered sweet things into my ears while Rocco then started calling someone. He put his phone back on the table and started to walk over to me. Not a minute later his phone started ringing. He answered and came back, he handed me the phone, "It's Hades."
"B-bubba. I-I can't f-find Ollie." I tried to sound like a big girl but my voice wouldn't let me.
I then heard my twins voice say, "Hi Princess. I've got Ollie here right now. He wanted to go on an adventure with us!"
I want Bubba here with Ollie now. He knows I won't be able to sleep without it, I get nightmares.
"C-can you bring him home please?" I whispered.
"We are on our way little princess." He said.
I hung up the phone and laid my head on Rocco's shoulder. I'm so tired. Those were the last thoughts until I fell into the darkness.
MARCELLO POV:
After Persephone fell asleep, I reflected on the day. Maybe I shouldn't have been so forward with Hades, I know he's protective of her and has been there for her all her life. Whether or not that was the right decison, I am elated that they are back where they are supposed to be.
Depending on how his fight is tonight, Angelo will decide if he should be included in the mafia. I have no doubt in my mind that he will exceed all of the boys expectations. I am beyond proud of how Hades has turned out. As much as I haven't show it, I am incredibly impressed.
I walked towards Persephone and kissed her on the forehead. She looks just like Innessa, with her long mahogany hair, and the only kid with one of her matching brown eye. God how I miss her. 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘕𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢. 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦.
I heard foosteps from behind me and turned around. There stood all of the boys with a stuffed bunny in Hades hand. Hades eyes shot to Persephone to look at her sleeping form, he immediately relaxed and put the bunny in her hands. She felt the bunny and quickly squeezed it to her chest, still sleeping.
The boys eyes all softened at the sight. "I'm going to get a shower and go to bed, I will see you all for the flight in the morning." Hades stated, trying to get us out of the room.
"Goodnight." Angelo said kissing Persephone's forehead and walking out of the room.
SALVATORE POV:
My head hit the pillow and I then faced my biggest challenge, falling asleep. My insomnia is like an ongoing fight against a fucking tiger against me, a 6 foot, 170 lb, hacker who can barely go out in the actual mafia field. I lay for a while before I finally get swallowed into the darkness at 3 am.
I wake up at around 6 and get dressed. I go to the room that connects all of the hotel rooms. I then see Persephone sitting on the couch reading a book. I turn to walk back to my room when I hear,
"Wait! Do you want to play a game?"
I turn around to look at her as she sits there with a hopeful look. I shouldn't. I'll just mess it up. "I-I don't know if that's a good idea."
"Of course it is! We can play chess!" She says pointing to the chess table on her left.
We won't even have to talk. It'll be fine. I nod my head and walk to pick up a chair. I pick up the chair and set it down so that Persephone is on the couch with me sitting facing her. The chess table in between. "I usually play as white, but you can be white if you want. I don't mind." she smiles.
I only slightly smile back fakely which makes her smile falter a bit.
𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙙! 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙚! 𝙎𝙝𝙚'𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙜𝙤𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙙!
She moves her pawn forward two spaces. "You're not much of a talker. That's alright, I can talk for the both of us." She smiles at me which makes me smile down at my pieces. Her grin somehow widens at the gesture.
"You're my favorite." she whispers, with the intention I wouldn't be listening.
I must've heard her wrong, "What was that?" I asked softer than before.
"You can't tell anyone." she whispers and looks around. "You're my favorite."
I couldn't believe my ears. I smiled at her and moved my knight, I looked at her and smiled, not trying to hold back this time.
God I am never letting this girl go.
OMNISCIENT POV:
If only they knew what was coming.
HADES POV:
(Since Hades seems to be the favorite)
I slowly and unfortunately opened my eyes and turned to see Persephone not there. I hopped out of the bed and walked out my door to see our father walking out of his door. "Good morning Son." He said genuinely smiling at me.
Wow he wasn't being a dick this morning. That's a first. "Morning Marcello." I responded with a less cold voice than normal.
He very clearly flinched at the fact that I called him Marcello. "Where is Persephone?" he asked me.
I wasn't incredibly worried this morning. I knew that these guys cared about her and would never hurt her. "I'm not sure. She may be in the main room."
We walk side by side into the silent room. What I see slightly makes my lips quirk into a small smile. Persephone and Salvator are playing chess. Him with frowed eyebrows, her with a very subtle smirk. "You can move your king to the left. I never said check mate." she said shortly and kindly.
"You know you're supposed to try and win, not give advice to the other team." I smiled at her which she replied by jumping up and into my arms.
"Good morning my little princess."
She whispered good morning and continued to snuggle into my side. She only ever embraces people that she trusts, I suppose that I am like that as well. "Good morning butterfly." Marcello said softly.
"Good morning." she said softly into my side.
He smiled, we immediately turned to the door where the other five boys were standing in the door frame. What was up with these guys always being together?
I guess I never had any of that. We heard a chorus of good mornings and rolling of suit cases. I looked at them and slightly smiled towards them.
I turned to see Salvatore shaking his head and smiling. "No one has ever beat me before! You're amazing!" he gave her a high five and she giggled.
"Alright princess, we have to get ready to leave. Let's go pack your things." I said softly.
She nodded to me and took my hand. We walked to our hotel room. "Alright princess put Ollie and your stuff in your bag."
I walked to the table with her bag and handed it to her.
(15 minutes later)
PERSEPHONE POV:
We walked out of the hotel room to meet with Marcello and the other boys. We're going on get on a plane! I've never been on a plane before. We walk downstairs and I see them all standing at the door. They turn to us and smile, I smile back with a giggle. We all start walking to the car and hop in. The ride was a bit tense for some reason, I definitely didn't like it. Soon enough we got to the airplane runway. "Alright, our jet awaits us." Marcello broke the silence.
We walked onto the jet in complete silence. We all walked to the seats scattered around the main area. Marcello, Angelo, Alfonso, Santino, and Armando all walked to the bar, "Princess I'm going to chat with them a bit, Rocco and Salvatore will stay here with you." Hades whispered in my ear.
I nodded and walked to the booth where Salvatore and Rocco were sitting. I sat next to Salvatore and smiled. I set my bag next to me and took out Ollie, I couldn't do anything without Ollie. "Where'd you get him from sweetie?" Rocco asked me with a soft smile.
"My friend gave him to me." I snuggled my face into his belly.
He nodded and smiled. A young flight attendant walked over and smiled, she was a lot nicer than the lady at the restaurant yesterday. She looked like she was about 20 with long blonde hair.
"Hi! My name's Daisy, what's your name?" she looked at me with a smile.
"I'm Persephone! This is Ollie, he's a bit shy though." I said.
I liked her a lot, she was nice. And really pretty. "Well aren't you two adorable! It's nice to meet you both! Can I get you anything to eat or drink?" She asked the table.
I smiled and shook my head 'no'. The boys put in an order and thanked her. "Alright I'll be back out."
"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Salvator asked.
"Yup. I'm not hungry." I lied.
I didn't need to eat anything, I wouldn't want to be a burden. They shouldn't waste their money and food on me. I don't need too much. Hades usually makes me eat though, he says that I need to. I yawned and closed my eyes. I woke up pretty early this morning and I stayed up late yesterday. "You tired bug?" Rocco asked.
I nodded and leaned my head against Salvatore. I snuggled into Ollie, I knew that I shouldn't be sleeping, they wouldn't like me wasting their time. I felt someone pick me up and carry me somewhere. I felt a fuzzy blanket being placed on top of me, soon after a kiss on my forehead was place. Rocco. I tried to keep my eyes open but I eventually fell asleep.
ALFONSO POV:
We sat down at the bar and each ordered a drink, Hades stayed silent. We were silent for about a minute when Dad spoke up, "I believe you would like an explanation." he nodded. "It all started when you were 2 years old. We were attending a party with other Mafia members, who were trusted. Your mother took you and Persephone to the restroom alone, we assumed it would be fine. You guys were in the bathroom for about 15 minutes, I assumed that your mother was having trouble. I ran to find you guys and your mother. I opened the bathroom to see your mother unconscious on the floor and you two nowhere to be found. Years went on, we searched everywhere for you. I have no idea how we couldn't find you. A couple years past, an attack was placed and killed Innessa, your mother."
Hades clearly was less tense. He seemed to be fighting an internal battle, he sighed then spoke, "I understand. I do have a few rules for our stay." Dad and Angelo nodded their heads. "1. If you so much as make Persephone uncomftorable, I will be booking a flight fast than a white family to an airport." Improvement, he made a joke. "2. If Persephone is in any danger whatsoever. I will be taking her with me to hide until safe to return. 3. She's not going to school. I'll add more if needed."
"Why can't she go to school?" Salvatore asked walking through the door with Rocco.
"She will only be hurt. Bullies, girls, jealousy, boys, more boys." He was correct. She doesn't need to go to school.
"Hades is right. She will only be tainted in that horrid place." I chimed in with a nod to Hades.
"I disagree. She needs some sort of social life, no point in keeping her in the house all day. We could give her a body guard. We could even put someone in as a teacher." Rocco chimed in, receiving a glare from Hades and I. Angelo and Santino nodded at the statement.
"I have an idea." Dad said, "I understand that you are protective of her. I know I stepped a boundary telling you that she was definitely going to school. We can put her in for a week with two body guards and you by her side. If you think in any way that she shouldn't be there, or anything makes you feel uncomftorable with how she is being treated, we will pull her out and have someone teach her from home. The decision is yours, all I want is for everyone to be happy. It's in your hands Hades, just give it a week. We're glad you're back."
I still didn't like the idea but I could tell that Hades was warming up to the idea. "One week. We will have the same schedule. If any boy so much as talks to her, I will not hesitate to cause a scene." he spoke.
He smiled and nodded. "If you believe he deserves it, hit him. Preferably hard. Don't worry, you won't be in trouble, I'll get you out of it."
