Selene Terra Firma

27 : Run

Emerald green tantalizing eyes, thin arched brow, small yet pointed nose, with her pink plump enticing lips. Her face is as big as his palm, a petite body that he could embrace fully with no effort. A thin small waist that seems molded for him to hold. 

White porcelain skin and her blushing cheeks look so alluring. The jet-black long wavy hair shines to the sun's reflection. It's her. His Asteri. His Queen. His love. His life. His everything. 

"A-asteri..." He caressed her face so carefully fearing that she would vanish just like how his illusions disappear. "Asteri, y-you're back. You came back..." Choking his self as he forgets how to breathe while tears streaming endlessly. 

Selene looked at the young man, who exactly looks like Ares. It was like a duplication. They look like identical twins! It's like, a mirror reflection. 

But the tone is different, the ambiance is different. The eyes were the same but the way he looks at her is different. The attitude and personality are different. He is a completely different person with the exact face! 

Due to the sudden escalation of the event, Selene could not react at all. Especially, the young man is crying and being so vulnerable in front of her. With the same face as Ares, her heart feels tight, watching him wail. 

The young man slowly leaned down to her face, Selene's eyes widened as she realizes this man wanted to kiss her! She could not move to evade him all she could do is to close her eyes firmly. But later felt wind hitting her face and a force pulling her. 

When she opened her eyes, she saw Ares. She knew it was Ares holding her waist uplift to the ground with his one arm. 

"A-ares!" He shifted his eyes to her and she could see his ability being activated. Dark expression together with a dark aura. He's so tense, ready to go in a battle. "What's going on?" 

"PHOBOS!" Ares shouted his attendant's name and Phobos shower up.

"Young master Ares?" Phobos saw the entire scene don't know what to do. She kneeled shivering. 

"Take Selene to Cronus and Zeus! Immediately!" He roared that Phobos panicked and took Selene from her master. 

"Yes, young master!" 

"What are you doing Ares?" Although dazed, King Vazo started to gain back his composure but his focus was one young woman Phobos was carrying out of his sight.

"She's not your woman." Ares glared at his father, showing his fangs. "She's mine!" 

"Get out of my way." King Vazo did not hear his proclamation. Moved swiftly to follow Phobos. But was interrupted by his son. 

"FATHER! SHE'S NOT MOTHER!" Ares held his arm and throw him back again. King Vazo who had not activated his ability yet was easily thrown in the air by Ares. 

"ARES! STOP GETTING IN MY WAY!" Deaf, not trying to apprehend the situation, King Vazo is losing his mind as the presence of Selene gradually faded. 

"NO!" King Vazo, started to breathe heavily. As his mind baffled, his blood rushing. Adrenaline's crashing his system. His golden eyes started to appear red-blood. 

"I SAID NOT TO GET ON MY WAY!" He rushed to Ares's's direction and used all of his strength to defeat him. Ares, who has scarred red with his father countless times, could stop him now. But will not be able to later. King's powers are still stronger than his. 

"Asteri—she, she came back to me! WHY ARE YOU TAKING HER AWAY?!" King Vazo yelled and pinned Ares onto the ground. 

Fact about vampires, if they are in the same class of power. Their telepathic ability would be useless. So, at the very moment, Ares and his father are brawling by their strength.
