The Artemis Daughter

Chapter 51

Shennie left me after those strict words. My eyes got wet. I took a long breath to calm myself. Shennie, Kaity and Ima are the only friends I had in this camp and now they see me as a betrayer. I hope they'll have a bright future after tonight's war. I whipped the tear rolled over my cheek losing my control. 

Meanwhile, something caught my eye. I saw Ima was sneaking somewhere so fishy making me suspect. I thought of going after her. Ima disappeared behind the cabin Hades where it's dark around it too. 

I froze at the place when I heard a male voice. 

"You okay? You're not hurt, right?" the male voice asked dearly. 

"Ya...! I'm a daughter of Bellona, the Roman goddess of War! Fighting is in my blood, Oppa!" I thought Ima was sneaking to do something terrible to the camp but it turned into a lovey-dovey conversation? But it's not Jungkook's voice. Is Ima cheating on Jungkook's behind!? I thought Ima likes Jungkook a lot! She talked about him like crazy but what has happened now!? Has something gone wrong while I wasn't here in the camp!?

Gosh! Why am I thinking of him now!? I've already let him go. I shook my head and looked straight but still, the Ima-Jungkook problem was rotating in my mind. I stepped out from the darkness which was hiding me. I forgot that Ima and the unknown person were still there. Four eyes were staring at me with surprise and scare. 

"Taehyung!" my heart dropped when I saw the man who was with Ima. So... Ima was really cheating Jungkook behind his back. She's with his buddy! 

"Vany... don't get excited. I'll explain everything to you" Ima kept a step front. 

"Explain...! What to explain...!? I don't have to do anything with your problems. It's not my business. You just carry on... I... I'm leaving" I was about to leave Ima and Taehyung but Ima's words stopped me at the place. 

"Jungkook isn't my love and we've never dated!" 

"What are you talking honey...!?" Taehyung looked at his hubby confusedly. I turned to Ima. My heart skipped a beat. I wanted to jump to the hell but even the hell can't do anything. 

"Taetae... you also have to know this or else it'll be a big misunderstanding in the future. First of all, you were my bias and it gradually changed and I started to like Jungkook. But since on the day you came into the camp... you slowly sneaked into my heart again. Jungkook knew that I liked Taetae. So, he came to me to help me to win Taetae's heart and I could be together but when we got together, you weren't here Vany... I wanted to tell you because I know that you think that Kookie is the person I like... Taetae... sorry for not telling this even to you..." Ima drew circles on the ground. 

"So... you don't have any attraction to Jungkook anymore!? Don't tell me he's still single!!!" my voice raised losing my control.

"Vany...!? What's going on!? Why are you scolding me for it!? It's his opinion to not have a lover yet. Maybe he has someone in his mind...!" Ima looked at me surprisingly. 

"You... you... I don't wanna see your face again!" I left Ima and Taehyung behind in the cabin Hades. I ran... I ran and ran... I ran away from the camp and went to the beach. I stepped into the water and went deeper and deeper. The seawater was above my head but I could breathe freely as I'm the daughter of Poseidon. I went deeper and I couldn't see the sunlight... Everything around me is in the dark. Fewer sea plants and fish too. I knew my tear was coming out of my eyes but they mixed with the seawater and washed away. 

I slowly stepped toward a dead coral. I didn't know where I was going but I thought I suppose to know this place. I lost my breath when I saw what was behind that dead coral. Some ruins of a collapsed building! My memories took me to the days I spent with Alex. 

I walked through the ruins. A warm feeling hugged me tightly. The place was so lively many years ago. Fish were swimming everywhere. Sea plants... living corals made this place more beautiful. Young myself and Alex were running and swimming everywhere. Every inch of this place is filled with my past happy memories. I felt my heart rip into small pieces. I shouted. I cried my heart out. No one saw me... no one heard me. 

I sat on a dead coral and calmed myself. It's gonna get dark soon. I should return now. I stood up to leave the old ruins. Maybe this is the last time I see them. 'Thank you for giving me beautiful memories' I turned and left the ruins maybe never coming again. 

I shadow travelled to the camp from the water. I re-emerged soak in water in the middle of a battlefield. I felt more energetic with the water on my body. Kronos had already started the war. Just have fun grandpa... you're gonna die today... you're playing with the wrong person grandpa... just a few minutes... wait for a few minutes... 

I stepped into the stinky monsters who are attacking the campers. My eyes searched everywhere to see his face. I stabbed every monster that appear in front of me. Where are you... I want to see you for the very last time... please come in front of me...
