Maeve Castellan

A hurt goddess

I walked into Will's room and saw blood all over the floor. Worry filled me immediately and walked around yelling his name. I soon found him in a corner with some young looking girl, Hestia. "What in the name of Krones are you doing Will?!" I yelled. "Tell her to not bleed on my floor!" I quickly added, making them both stare at me in disbelief.

"Shes a traitor. I don't want her here." Hestia commented. Will gave me an expecting look but I didn't move, quite oppositly I stayed there.

"In my defence I was left unsupervised" I answered to Hestia's comment. "Besides you are the one somehow out of Tartarus" I added.

"Will you two stop?! Maeve if you wanna kill her then go ahead just atleast don't tell Luke" Will pleaded ever so slightly.

"And why would I tell Luke?" I asked, hurt that he would think so lowly of me. I went to get a first aid kit and put some alcohol on a bandage. I was about to apply it to the wound when Will stopped me.

"Are you a psychopath?!" He asked. I wasn't aware that alcohol wasn't the answer to this but it was all I could find.

"I prefer creative." I smirked. He rolled his eyes and continued treating Hestia to the best of his ability whilst I applied some more bandaged to the wound. I looked Hestia in the eyes and she looked pained. I felt bad. Apollo, Hestia, Artemis and Posiden were the only gods that treated their kids decently and never treated me differently. I was quite upset to put the 4 of them into Tartarus, I was quite frankly about yo beg Krones to let me keep them here, in the palace.

Afterwards we helped Hestia to the bed and i started cleaning the floor. "Why are you helping?" Asked a voice behind me, that belonged to Will.

"Because I actually appreciate Hestia. I was also hoping I could earn some brownie points so I can talk to you. I've been wanting to for ages. I feel obliged to explain everything to you, given the friendship we used to have" I mumbled the last part. Will seemed hurt but nodded and closed his door.

"Let's talk about it" he nodded. I told him about how I felt angry with the gods, not just because they threw me in a dungeon for two years then ignored me but also because of how they treat their children. "I can't say I agree with what you did but I see where you're coming from" he sighed.

"I was actually thinking of freeing the gods. I know I'll end up in Tartarus but it's the least I cab do for them I guess" I looked down.

"Why release them now." He asked.

"I feel bad. I genuinely hate not having them around, I've failed my parents" I put my face in my hands. Will hugged me and we sat there like that for a few minutes.
