Antheia's POV

I groaned when I felt my head aching, I tried sitting up but good lord was my body stiff! I could barely sit up, it's like I was in that position for years, as I was rubbing my temples I gradually opened my eyes and what I saw shook me

I was in an unfamiliar place or should I say chamber? The chamber doesn't seem to bad, well cleaned actually, no funky odour and a soft bed, it's not bad, it's actually quite...nice

The Chamber


But I still have no idea how I got here then a thought came into my head. I've been kidnapped! That would be the most logical reason, because if I have fainted then I would still be there in the greenhouse as nobody knows about it except for me

However, even if I was kidnapped (which might be the case), why would anybody put me in this kind of chamber? Why didn't they put me in a cell or something much horrible than this?

Another thought came into my mind, the person who kidnapped me must like me and the thought of putting me in a cell might lose their chances of me liking them which probably won't happen either since they had kidnapped me!!!

Now, for the final question, who would do this to me? Sure, there are a lot of people, kings and gods wanting me but I don't think anyone is that crazy to have kidnapped me. All but one, Hela Odinsdottir

I know I might be wrong as these are just my theories but the chances of them being true is high, this goddess is the only person to have write a letter more than 3 times and yes, you might be thinking that I am crazy for suspecting a person to be a kidnapper after writing more than 3 letters to me!

You can judge all you want but I know in my guts that I am be right! I know I am! After centuries of trusting my guts, why should I not trust them now!?

After moments of staring at the air I heard a low chuckle, I faced to where the sound came from and I saw a woman leaning her shoulders on the door frame, arms crossed with a grin on her face but it wasn't a sinister grin "Hmm, I see you're awake"

"Are yo-" I paused and placed my hand on my throat when I felt that it was dry and could hardly say anything at all, then the woman who, I assume is Hela came closer to me and poured me a glass of water which was on the nightstand next to me

I arched an eyebrow and she chuckled again "Don't worry, dearie. It doesn't have any poison in it, I promise"

I reached out my hand and took the glass of water and slowly drank it, after I drank half of the glass I lowered the glass and spoke to her "Are you Hela?" not looking at her

"Oh, so you have remember me, huh?" I turned to her and saw that she was smirking, I looked down and up at her then looked her at the eyes again

"No, I don't. I only knew cause you were the only goddess to have sent me letters more than a few times" I lied about the first part, I could never forget anyone who is as cruel as the famous Hela Odinsdottir, The Goddess Of Death. Now, I recognise who she was! And aside from that, who could forget a woman who as...smiting and alluring as her?

Dear lord, why!?!

"Well, that's a shame, I was really hoping you would. And speaking of letters, why haven't you sent me one, hm?" she asked and I looked away, not knowing whether I should lie again or not then I felt her hand slowly pull my chin up to face her "When I ask you a question I expect an answer" she said with a stern voice, I gulped and nodded

"Word, dearie"

"Yes..."

"Now, I'm going to ask again, why haven't you sent me a letter?"

"I...Because..." I struggled to form a sentence, not only because I was still wasn't sure if I should lie or not! But she was also making me flustered!

"Because what, dearie?"

"Because...I...didn't think you would be any different from the other people who wants to...marry me" I whispered but made sure she could hear it, I felt her hand that was on my chin caress my cheek then held the side of my neck, leaned forward to my ear and whispered

"Trust me, sweetheart. I am different from the others" my cheeks turned red like a tomato, as Hela moved away she gave me a peck on the cheek and pulled away "Oh before I forget, you need to bathe, a maid will come and fetch you and bring you the bath house" I nodded and she arched an eyebrow "Words"

"Yes"

"Better" she then turned around and before she was out of my sight I called her "Wait!" she immediately stopped and turned to me "H-How long was I asleep?" I asked

"4 days"

I'm sorry, WHAT?!? 4 days?!? No wonder why my throat was dry and my was stiff as a statue!!

"Oh, alright...thank you" not even a second she had left but she came again

"Oh, if you're going to try to escape, don't bother, the whole place is carefully guarded, don't try doing something stupid, you don't want yourself getting hurt or getting punished, do you?" she asked

I shook my head "No, I don't" she grinned then left, this time she didn't came back, I bit my bottom lip as I thought about my kingdom

I've been gone for 4 days, the castle must be in a mess right now, not just from taking care of the kingdom but also from finding me, I must get out of here! Although, I don't want to do anything stupid since she did say the whole place is guarded so I must find another way, a way that will most likely take time and patients

However, I am curious, what did she meant by 'punishment'? I know what's the meaning of punishment but there is 2 kinds of punishment, there's one that you might have to spend a night the cell or the one that you're going to get sp-

NO! Do not go there, Antheia!!! DO NOT!
