They had been home for almost a month now and Aria felt so much better after spending time with her family and friends. She had called Noctis and told him she was taking some time to heal and would keep him updated. She was sitting outside when Selena ran over to her.

"Aria a man is here. He has Nyx and Luche. He told me to bring you to him or he will kill them." Aria stood up and scanned the area.

"Selena go home. I already know where they are."

Aria walked into the small cove and saw Nyx and Luche on their knees. They had their hands tied behind them. She knew she needed to stay calm or else she would lose this fight.

"Hello, sister." She locked all her feeling and emotion away for right now.

"You come any closer and I will kill them," Odin tells her. Aria raises her eyes at God.

"Then do it. Does it look like I care?"

Luche heard her and his head snapped up to her face. Her eyes held nothing. They were cold and empty. He saw Aria's mother walk over and lift her hand making him stand and walk to her.

"You turned me away after everything I have done for you." Luche saw Arias's mother run her hand up his arm. Then she pulled him against her and kissed him. He tried to get away from the woman.

"I have a gift for you Aria."

Aria watched her mother, and it took everything in her to stay still. Out of nowhere she felt a pain in the back of her neck and turned to see Tredd standing there with an evil smile. She felt the world go dark as her body dropped. When she next opened her eyes, she had her hands chained above her head. She looked around and saw Nyx and Luche strapped down to chairs.

"Sweetheart thank the six your awake." She gave Luche a small smile.

Luche turned when a door opened, and Aria's mother walked in.

"Well, daughter you have a choice. I can start with these two or you can take their place. Before you even think about escaping these chains bind your powers." Luche saw his wife's eyes turn to ice.

"I will take their place but know I will get free and when I do, I will kill you for this mother." Luche and Nyx were moved to another room. They had lost track of time.

"She will get free Luche. Don't lose faith in her." Nyx told him.

Aria never made a noise no matter how much pain they put her in. she would stand back up and stare at her mother in the eyes.

"I don't know how Odin brought you back to life mother, but I will end your life. So, I hope you enjoy what time you have left." She was left alone, and Aria saw the blood puddle under her. She knew she was losing too much blood, but she was not about to give in.

Luche and Nyx were able to walk around the room they were in. The door opened and Aria's mother walked in.

"She is strong. Would you like to see your wife Luche? I would talk some sense into her if I were you." Luche followed the woman and as they stopped outside a set of doors. A man came over and placed a set of handcuffs over his wrist.

When the door opened Aria didn't even bother looking up.

"Sweetheart, by the six what have they done to you?" she felt him lift her chin.

"Luche why are you here?" she asked him.

"Your mother wants me to talk to you, but Aria you listen to me. You are stronger than this. You're a Goddess that slapped Odin across a city. I know you can get out of here." She saw Luche get tossed backward and hit a wall. When his eyes closed, she snapped.
