I never meant to hurt you

[Deleted]

Persephone took two risks. She had freed Hades and Maleficent's prisoners, and she had stolen the dagger away from them. The dagger was stolen in the first place.. she was just returning it to it's rightful - for now - owners. Why? Because her father had gone too far this time.. And also so she could save the innocent people of this town and of Mount Olympus, and prove to herself and to Sky that she could be more than just her father's daughter. More than merely a product of her own environment. She hadn't had a chance to talk to Sky since she had saved him, so this was going to be her first chance. 

"Sky," She met him in secret, in a cave that she had told him to run to. It was a secret place that she knew no one would find him. Likely, Hades would lose interest in the flying creatures - at least for now - and focus on something else. Unfortunately, his sights were now set on Emma.. the Savior. The woman who Hades assumed was the reason behind the prisoners escaping and the dagger being stolen. "I'm so glad you're okay," She flung her arms around him, and clung to him tightly. "I'm so sorry.. I never wanted you to be pulled in to this. The dagger is back with Killian and the Savior.. we'll have to keep a close eye on her, though. I don't trust my father and Maleficent to not torment her," She took a step back and looked at Sky. "Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?" 

She knew that Maleficent likely tried to get in to Sky's head.. and honestly, she didn't want to hear all of the horrible things she must have said about Persephone.. but she wanted to make sure that he was okay. "You.. you don't hate me, do you? For what they did? I tried so hard to get that dagger away.. If..if they find out it was me i'll be dead.. but you're safe.. You're safe and I'll protect you."

Sky loathed Hades. He hated him for all he was. His attacks against the Gods and Hercules were enough to make him detest the man. And now, he hated him even more -- something he hadn't even quite realized was possible. Was he afraid? Deep down of course he was! But, he also knew that Hercules would save him. He had faith and trust in his friend and knew it was only a matter of time before Hercules would come and once again, thwart Hades' plan and defeat him. Hopefully this time, it would be once and for all. But things had not happened in the way Sky had thought they would. For it was not Hercules who came to his aid . . . but rather, Persephone. Was she in on this?! The fact that she had broken him out and told him to run to a specific cave told him that she knew enough of the plan to be aware of it, but it also revealed that she was willing to go against it. He trusted her enough to comply, praying that it wasn't naive of him to do so. He was reluctant though. He didn't want to leave her behind. What if she got caught?! What if she was found out as betraying Hades?! He would never forgive himself if she got hurt on his account but she urged him to go and he did as told. He ran as fast as his two human legs could carry him. It was moments such as these where he missed his four legs and wings. Though he supposed that it was a good thing he didn't yet have them, for it had required a prolonged step in Hades plan for him. Once Sky arrived at the cave he worked on catching his breath, poking his head out at the entrance as he watched and waited for her. And waited. And watched. And watched. And waited. He started pacing nervously, telling himself to stay calm and that everything would be ok. He suddenly heard her voice and spun around to see her, breathing a sigh of relief. He put his arms around her as she hugged him, closing his eyes for a moment as he just relaxed in the knowledge that she had safely gotten away. She then apologized and told him that the dagger was back with the Dark One and the Savior, adding on that she didn't trust Hades and Maleficent. "I'll tell Hercules," he assured her. For Hercules was a hero and he could help protect them. She asked if they hurt him and he shook his head. "I'm . . . fine. Good. Alright. Alive." He was rambling, and he knew it. "Thanks to you," he added on, not about to dismiss the fact that she had saved him. He promptly shook his head when she asked if he hated her. "No! I mean, how can I? You saved me! And, stopped their plan. You may have known about it, but you didn't go along with it." He began to smile. "I knew that you're not filled with darkness." He had told her as such the first time they met, and was so glad that it was proven now so that she did not have to doubt herself any longer. He then suddenly realized the implications of her words and his smile faded. "You're not . . . going back there, are you?!" He questioned. It was too much of a risk for her to stay with them. "Come with me. Stay with me, and we, Hercules and the others will protect you." She had gone against Hades and Maleficent for a reason, and he wanted to make sure she stayed safe; not constantly wondering if she was found out and harmed. Sky didn't trust that Hades wouldn't hurt his own daughter if he found out she betrayed him. "You can't go back there. It's too dangerous and . . . it's not where you belong." He kenw it was bold of him to say that, but her actions proved it! She was not as dark as Hades or Maleficent liked to think. And she deserved to be in a safe environment because of that.
