Something was bugging Blythe, what did Ian say to Elle? The girl had been acting odd since the night they went out, she wouldn't talk to anyone, not even max, not that max was even talking to Elle, she had blown up at him, and they were both too headstrong to say anything, Elle was just thinking, about every single word Ian said that night, every single glace he gave, the way he kissed anna, but stared into Elle's eye's, everything just felt weird- almost wrong to her, Ian was 5 years older than her, he wasn't going to get older, but when Elle turn's 18, she will just keep aging, she will grow old, and ian will forever look the way he was, What happens if they do pursue things? Will, he still love her when she's on her death bed, it was too many questions, and Elle didn't have the answers, maybe ian did, but she can't speak to him, Blythe had even installed a tracker on Elle's car, so she'd know if she had even stepped foot near penguin's club everyone would know, they couldn't even be friends if they wanted to, it sucked, Elle just wanted a friend, not an ex like max, but a friend, a real friend, and she wanted it badly, she was just bored, I mean sure she could hang out with the Wayne boy's all she wanted, but they all had had crushes on the Nygma girls one time or another, she didn't know what she wanted anymore, she felt like she was going crazy, or I guess crazier, she was having nightmares, every night, so she just stopped sleeping, no it wasn't good for her beauty, but it was the only way she didn't see things, it was all still there when she blinked though...
It was the crooked morning's that made Blythe miss her brother, Milo was her best friend, she had so much anger pent up about his death, and she realized she was directing it at Elle, even though it wasn't her fault, the girl stirred her tea, blanking out at the wooden table, a figure sits next to her, "What are you thinking about?", She didn't need to look to see who it was, Jasper, Aurora's twin, "My sister." She responds, looking over, the boy nods his head, "She's a crazy one huh?", "Yeah..", she felt a hand over hers, jaspers thumb rubs against her knuckles, "It's scary.", Blythe shakes her head, "I just want her to be okay.", "She's a big girl, she can take care of herself.", "I know... that doesn't mean she has to.", "But it doesn't mean you have to either."..
"Meditate Elle meditate.", "I'm trying to but you won't stop talking.", the girl slouches, opening her eyes, "If I killed someone we would have to meditate-", "Elle-", "Max.", "You can't.. neither of us can, there are people we pissed off, family's we tore apart.", Elle felt bad, part of her wanted to die, "I don't want to kill, but I feel it inside of me, and I just wish I could-", "Purge them.", "I want to purge everything.", Max felt Elle's grip tighten, she dug her nails into his pale skin, and suddenly blood stained her fingernails, but he couldn't feel anything, why couldn't he feel anything? Maybe the urges were eating him alive, but he never wanted it to show, he wanted to be good for Elle, he wanted to show her that change is good, that he could change, he could be the friend she needed, but he couldn't be, he just couldn't be, because Elle couldn't be, NO ONE around him was, so why did he have to? Why did he have to make Elle better? Elle was a big girl.
Lexxi was a good boss. She was fair. She was professional. She was the kind of boss you could talk to. But she could also be intimidating, which was exactly why Ian was afraid of her, the two were friends for years, when they were kids, yes kids, together...
10,000 years ago...
The children run around, their parents watching after them, "We can't let them get too close, Hemera will leave soon.", "But he doesn't know that, he must know pain for his trail ahead.", "He's just a child-", "Nyx... he has a purpose.", "Persephone you don't believe that.", "But I do, I believe in my husband.", "Our children...", "Our children have duties, Hemera must control the day-", "And he will be left alone-", "To deal with his enemies, one day you will understand, one day he will be let free, you two must go."...
Present-day...
Elle walks into the living room, rubbing her eyes, but she stops, a girl sat on the couch, starring into the abyss, "Lexxi?", "27 years ago I was stripped of my goddess title, my powers were taken away, I was turned into a child and forced to live as a human, along with it I lost my best friend, Ian.", "I didn't- I didn't know that.", "Look outside.", Elle turns around, darkness, but it was 8 am, "Did someone change our clocks-", "I was Hemera, goddess of the day.", Elle puts the pieces together, "Ian has returned to the underworld." Lexxi turns to look at Elle, her eyes were golden, and slowly she stood up, a white and golden suit cascading down her body, "What have you done Elle!", the woman flys towards Elle, taking her by the throat and floating her into the sky, everyone heard the commotion, running out of their rooms, but the ground rumbles, a darker figure emerges, it was Ian, he had a similar outfit to Lexxi's, except his was manly, as well as Black and gold, "She's done nothing.", "The prophecy said that once you marry-", "I married Anna.", Lexxi drops Elle, Max, and Blythe run to break her fall, "Are you alright?", "I almost got killed by a Greek god... I'm doing great."...
