A little worried, Evangeline's green eyes studied Hades's face that seemed very desperate for her to promise him to stay by his side. Though others would say that this quality might be a weakness, Evangeline understood him quite well.
She had always been fighting for her own place, fighting to have someone to stay by her side. Clearly from the start Hades also wanted the same. Wasn't that why he had read that book about the red thread of fate? Because he also wish for someone who wouldn't leave him.
Just like her.
Two people with the same scar... Evangeline felt even more encouraged.
She raised her hand, folding all of her fingers except the little one. A bright smile spread on her cheeks, her round eyes wrinkled with such tenderness.
The brighter she became, the darker the shadow that grew from behind Hades.
"Pinky promise," she said and Hades looked at her little finger, tilting his head. "You have to link your little finger with me."
