"Boo" Apollo had appeared from a portal that was spawned directly behind Daphne and she jumped back before turning to look at him "you scared me-" she said "we need to talk I don't know if it's just me or if it's you or what is going on but this thing has hate going on needs to stop it's not right I'm a eternal maiden and I'm not even acting like it I'm disobeying the laws of being...this- it's not right and- and I'll get punished by lady Demeter and-" Apollo cut her off "and I'm here for you. No more gestures I promise. Just let me be your friend." He explained "just friends? Pinky promise?" She asked he just chuckled "pinky promise" before interwining their pinkies
"It's my break now and I'm going to the forest wanna come?" He nodded before picking her up and flying off the the forest
"So tell me about yourself daphne" he said "well everyone calls me laurel since my favorite type of tree is a laurel tree- I have a lot of freedom but my father Peneus is pretty protective- I love my solitude- and the nature- all the laurel trees have died round here long ago- I wish to be a laurel tree when I die-"
"Oh- well you seem quite interesting. I respect your independence but you must understand my intentions are pure you may only want my..friendship-. But I want to share the rest of my days with you. I've only known you for four days and I've found myself quite fond of you and not ready to let go yet. My dear." He explained "thank you Apollo. I appriciate your kindness. My heart shall never be yours it belongs to another it belongs to Mother Nature. I cherish my freedom my heart will never belong to you. I am..sorry." she replied "but you haven't even met the true concept of love your always surrounded by friends and family so how do you know what love feels like! Let me teach you!!"
"Please. Just go. I will not break my contact under no circumstance. I'm sorry Apollo."
"But- why can't you just be like the other stupid nymphs why can't you just love me why do you need to be part of a contract!" His voice began getting louder and he pulled her towards him but accidently by the hair "ow Apollo your hurting me!" He let go of her and she spun her head to the side.
There was a crack.
And now she was on the floor.
