My Little Goddess (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 1: Natasha, The Raging Fire

                In one stormy night, in front of the Palace of Taiki, the thunder clap and strong wind made a loud sound, as the King noticed a crying and whining sound outside the door and then he slowly opened the door.

               He saw a child only a week old in the palace door step a voice echoing in the wind “Take care of the child, I warn you this child is a demigod, daughter of Hephaestus, and she will be given a big choice that will change her life forever. She will be given the chance to live in Olympus and be an immortal goddess in her favor.” it said.

                The King took the child in his arms and named her Natasha Chase of the raging fire knowing her powers were fire since her father Hephaestus was the god of fire. As years passed she got control over her powers, she had everything, riches, servants, nice clothes, delicious food, and lots of things but she didn’t have what she wanted the most love, care, and freedom.

                 Natasha grew never knowing what true happiness is, she never smiled and laughed, she never showed her feelings to anyone not even to her father. She was like a mountain immovable, hard, and strong but in the inside it was filled with emeralds and diamonds. The doors of her heart were closed and locked all anger, sadness, excitement, happiness, and all other feelings were locked inside. She was like a living doll never changing expressions and never revealed them.

                 Let us begin in one sunny day, Natasha was staring at her window as she looked her sparkling green eyes looked somehow happy but her thin pinkish lips were still as plain as ever she waved her hip-length, beautiful, blonde hair it softly flowed with the wind her moment of peace was broken by the King and maids who opened the door “Natasha, please change into this gown Prince Jacob will be visiting you today and you must look your best.” Natasha looked at her father with a blank expression and said “Father, do I have to?” her voice smooth as silk and calm she was so soft spoken and never raised her voice her father answered with a nod and said “Yes dear, you have too”.

                 After changing she went down to meet Prince Jacob, she was wearing a purple gown and her hair ponytailed and some untied set of hair beside her face “You look beautiful.” said her father with a smile.

               A young man with brown hair and electric blue eyes the same age as Natasha introduced himself as Jacob. Natasha looked away at Jacob and stared at her father in an intimidating way, her father looked back at her and said “Natasha, could you please take Jacob around the palace?” “Father using “could” means I have no choice “would” would be more like it?” she responded “And I’m not in the mood...”  she added, “I have no interest in women who continue to reject me…” Jacob said “Good, and its lady not woman. I’m not rejecting you I’m just pushing you away and if you have no interest in me then just leave” she responded.

                 “She’s a girl with strong spirits, isn’t she?” said the King “And she’s also a sturdy and strong one, you’ve impressed me Princess not many girls insult me mercilessly…” said Jacob “I’m not sure if it was meant to be a compliment or an insult or is it just something to provoke me?” Natasha replied. “It was meant to be a compliment…” Jacob said “Forgive me for I have not noticed” she replied. “Natasha” her father exclaimed “Understood Father...” she looked back at Jacob and said “Let’s go I do not prefer to stay in one place” Jacob replied with a nod and followed Natasha outside.

               He quickly opened up a conversation “You’re a demigod??” Natasha replied “Yes, I am but I am imprisoned in this palace I never went outside”. “Would you go with me??? Has anyone made you smile, Natasha???” he asked and she replied “No, not even my father …” “What will you do if someone did???” Jacob added, “Well, I’d probably fall for him…” “Then I’m willing to be that person” said Jacob… Natasha looked at him and studied his face “You look sincere” she told him with cheerful eyes yet her lips still plain…. “You were about to smile” he said with a smile. They made it outside the palace gates Natasha packed a few things and wore a white flower-patterned hood it matched her tan skin pretty well.
