My Little Goddess (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 6: Zeus's Lightning Bolts

               Lucas helped Nikki get Lillian out to be buried in the village and told everyone the news, but Nikki doesn’t seem to be in the right mind, maybe she couldn’t accept the death of her friend. But Lucas was sure of something, Nikki is the new Oracle. Lucas gave her a pat in the back and she asked all of them at least to stay for the night. They all decided to sleep in only one room, to intimidate Lucas into giving them all the information they need about Lillian and how he knew her name.

               When they all took their places in the room, girls at the bed and boys on the ground then everyone stared at Lucas and he smiled “What?” he asked everyone sarcastically.

               Natasha lay on the bed and she glared at Lucas “I thought you’d tell me everything, but I guess there are still some secrets between us about your past.” She rolled her eyes

               Lucas slightly laughed “You must be feeling dramatic.” He said then everyone gave him a death glare “Fine, I’ll tell you about it.” He said at last

               Cheska let out a relieved sigh “Oh, thank the gods. I would’ve tried to kill him if he didn’t tell us.” She said as everyone nodded in approval.

               Lucas sighed softly and Natasha came down the bed and sat next to Lucas holding a pillow and wearing her short white sleeveless night gown. He smiled at Natasha and he waved a streak of hair behind her ear. He took a deep breath “Alright, Lillian was Ina’s mother.” Lucas said and it took Lucas a lot of courage to speak her name.

               Jared looked confused “Who’s Ina?” he asked Lucas.

               Natasha looked at Jared “His ex-girlfriend.” She said to Jared with a slight nod.

               Lucas raised an eyebrow “She was not my girlfriend.” He said to Natasha.

               Natasha rose an eyebrow too “Yes she was.” She said arguing.

               “No she isn’t”

               “Yes she is”

               “No she isn’t”

               “Yes she is”

               “Fine, she was my girlfriend.”

               Jolo looked irritated and laid down on his part of the floor “Please, just continue.” Jolo said with a sigh.

               Lucas nodded “Sure, when I was young my life was ruined by monsters they killed my parents and one day I was found by Ina and Ian Martinez and they took care of me. I came to love Ina and her father Ian also became family to me. But not just Ian and Ina even Lillian. Apollo asked for help he needed a new body for the Spirit of Delphi. Lillian volunteered for Ian, Lillian was dying she was deeply ill. And she wanted to continue to live for her family; Apollo guaranteed that her life span will be prolonged so she accepted. But she didn’t know she was going to be taken away by Delphi. It was painful I guess for all of us not just them but even for me.” He said as he tried to force a smile.

               Natasha sighed softly and touched Lucas’s face “I don’t like forced smiles, please no more smiling for no apparent reason.” She said to him as she stood up and went back to her bed. She lay down and then she slept, everyone was wide awake except for Natasha. Then there was a creak in the door and Natasha sat up awake everyone stared at the door “Nikki, come inside.” She said as everyone else smiled at Nikki.
