(Updated) B2)A Love Of Two Worlds

36) Beatriz? Aimee?

Xavier-

Escaping Mount Olympus is harder than Xavier thought. They could use the portal placed on Zeus' throne. But the plans Xavier came up with are ruined. Duke had recovered from his injuries and had announced Claire's wedding to Dom. It'll be in three days. Duke planted angels on Claire; they'll watch her every day.

They can't escape now. It's too risky; Xavier kicks the pillar and slams his hands on the marble stone railing. "Damnit."

"Xavier, at least get Luna and Sapphire out. And Skyler, if you can. You can get them out first," Claire is worried about Sapphire. Xavier understands her worries. Sapphire has been away from her parents for days. Then again, who knows how long? Claire's wolf said that 'Time' has gone awry. Time here and on earth are going at the same speed now.

That's not good; time shouldn't be slowing down on Olympus. Xavier is worried that Time could be hurting the universe. Also, the sun and the moon are getting closer each day. To close, it's only a time before they crash, ending the world.

"What if your father wants them present at the wedding?" Skyler asked.

"Crap!" Xavier groaned. "Claire, you'll need to convince Duke not to let Luna or Sapphire at the wedding. Tell them they aren't holy enough. Make something up; if I can during the wedding, I'll sneak them out of Olympus."

"Okay, I'll try to convince him," Claire said. "During the wedding, excuse yourself and help Luna and Sapphire out; Skyler will go with them."

"I could be useful here," Skyler said.

"No, we need you to keep Sapphire calm," Claire said. "That is why you must go; I'm positive if you don't, Sapphire will start screaming and throwing a tantrum."

Skyler sighed. "Fine."

"I'll tell Aire to tell Saito about our plans," Claire said. "So that Saito and the others can be ready."

"Alright," Xavier stepped back inside and went to Claire. He kissed her forehead and knelt in front of her. "Hey, stay strong; I won't let you marry him. I promise you'll get out, and you won't have to worry about anyone hurting you again. You'll be with Saito, get married, and have children."

"Why does it feel like you're saying goodbye to me?" Claire frowned.

Xavier doesn't have the heart to tell her that something terrible will happen to him. Savannah told him he was going to suffer a tragedy. He's going to disappear.

"It's not goodbye," Xavier cups her cheek, and she leans against his palm. "It'll be alright. You'll have to promise me that you'll stay happy. No matter what happens."

Xavier saw the sadness in Claire's eyes. "I promise."

Whatever the universe throws at him, Xavier will face it.

He left Claire's room and went to talk to Zero. He stood outside the tower, taking a moment before he went inside. Rolling his shoulders, he stepped inside and made the long way up the stairs to the center of the tower.

The burn was more painful than before; Xavier endured it and continued to Zero's Imprisonment. When he reached it, he heard moaning sounds. It better not be what he's thinking; there's no way Zero is having sex with his wife right now.

Xavier waited a few cells back. He blocked out the sounds.

It was an hour later when Zero stepped out of his cell; he looked bones as ever, except around his waists; he wore pants. Is it even possible? Where are all his organs? How is Zero still alive?

"Sorry about that," Zero looked at him, his bony face and glowing red eyes. "My wife stopped by. We had a little argument, and things got rough. It ended in sex, like always."
