His

30

I arrived at the palace a few minutes later. Knocking on the door, Ricky, the butler, let me in.

"Take me to them" I said getting straight to the point.

"Good night Princess Katrina. Your parents requested that you go to your room and get attired properly for dinner. Queen Kalanna said she will not see until you've done as she asked"

I rolled my eyes and stomped up the winding staircase to my room. Mom was always so bossy, damnit. Pushing open the gold doors to my room, I plopped down on the too big bed. The room was still the same deep red and black as I left it.

I screamed.

Today was fucked up. A beta was killed and some fucking maniac had the sword.  I didn't have time to play dress up with my mom.

A knock came at the door.

'Come in"

Five maids entered the room. I didn't really study them, but I knew they all had blond hair.

Blonde#1 started talking.

"Queen Kalanna  said we should help you get ready. And that you  do not have a choice"

I rolled my eyes. Two of the blondes came up to me and started undressing me. They then lead me to my huge black tiled bathroom. Filling the tube, the pushed me in and proceeded to scrub me clean.

After they finished, they dried me and lead me back to the room. They all attacked me then. One was doing my hair, while one was doing my face. The next two were doing my nails and the one that spoke was looking for a dress for me to wear.

What felt like an eternity later, I was finally ready.

"You look stunning Princess" they all chorused and left the room.

I looked at myself in the floor length mirror. My dark hair was up in an elegant bun, with tendrils of hair curling around my face. A elegant ruby and sapphire crown rested on my head. My makeup was light, with dark colours. The deep midnight blue dress fell in swirls at my feet which were in a black six inch peep toe heels. When I moved, the dress opened to a split that stopped at my hip where a diamond rested. . The front was a deep V to my navel and was off the shoulder with long lace sleeves. Turning around, I saw that the back was open and lined with rubies, showcasing my mark.

I exited the room and began my trek to the dinning room. The place was bustling with servants around doing chores. They bowed when they saw me. That is what I hated about been here, the title.

Most think that the Underworld palace was dark and gloomy, but I was actually bright, with a rare gem at every corner.

I soon arrived at the dining room door. Ricky pushed up the diamond studded doors, letting me in.

The brightly lit room with it's big table and gold and silver plates laid before me.

Hades sat at the head of the table. He was very handsome in his black tux. His tall dark hair, adorned by a gold jeweled crown, was ruffled as usual, and a small smoke on his full red lips. I smiled back at him. I missed him.

My mother sat to his right, looking as immaculate as ever. Her dark hair was down her back, a smaller version to Hades crown on her head. Her deep green dress accented her Carmel skin and hazel eyes.

Those hazel eyes were currently narrowed on me. I narrowed mine right back.

"Hello Father. Mother"

"Hello Katrina. It has being a while. Are you OK?" Hades asked, his deep voice was like a gentle caress.

"No. Everything is not fine. Something bad has happened"
