Slave for the Gods

Somethings wrong I can feel it

The next few months have been, odd. Clouds have been covering the sky and the sun has not shown for weeks. Zeus does not know what's happened and Apollo has lost access to the sun. Only the moon has shown throughout the long days. 

Rasmus has been acting strange lately as well. He is like somebody I've never knew in my whole entire life. He's stood me up for the pas few dates and he's never even bothered to say a good "hello" every once in a while. It's either glance or a grunt. 

"Aldara!" I looked back inside the tree and saw Calix standing there worried. "You seemed bothered, are you all right?" He sat next to me. 

I gave a heavy sigh. "I'm fine for now, but something is wrong Calix; I can feel it." I looked in the dark sky. I could sense the hesitation in Calix's voice and hear his heartbeat race. I looked at him. "Is there something you're not telling me?" 

He looked at me. "No, nothing at all." Oh Zeus, what if she finds out? 

I blinked. "Find out what?" I could read minds....that's new. 

"I-it's about Rasmus h-he's um kinda been avoiding you for a reason." His heart rate was through the ceiling! 

"And what would that be?" I could feel my heart pound in my ears. 

"Well remember his ex?" 

"Yeah Drucilla, why?" 

He rubbed the back of his neck. "Well remember why she couldn't come to school for a while?" 

"Yeah she had a....." I stopped and he sighed. "Rasmus is the baby daddy isn't he?" 

He nodded. "She was pregnant before you guys went out and he didn't want you to know because he thought you would be mad at him." I got up and went to my room and into my work room. I looked at my completed dress. "So this what you've been working on." 

I screamed and turned around. Both twins were standing there. "What did I tell you!?" 

"Hey, you didn't say anything and Calix was getting worried." Bemus replied rubbing his ear. "You're getting much better at screaming by the way." 

"Well, I don't care about Rasmus's child. If it happened before we dated I won't be angry." Bemus and Calix looked sad. "What is it?" 

"I've got to tell her!" Calix sighed. 

"Are you nuts!?" Bemus shouted. 

"Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on!?" I questioned. 

"Rasmus is cheating on you!" Calix replied. "He wanted us to lie in case you found out." 

Bemus punched his shoulder. I sighed. "You know, I don't really care anymore. If you guys are truly my friends you would have told me. And now, I'm going to show him his mistake." I took off my tattered dress. I could feel the guys staring at me. I put the dress I made on. It was eight inches above my knees. I grabbed the scissors and cut out a whole around the front of my waist. "Now I think I'm ready." I smiled and put my sandals on. I grabbed my bag and put it around my shoulder then walked to the entrance of the tree. "Well you guys coming to school or not?" They shrugged and grabbed their stuff then followed me. I never gave a hint to either of them on the way to school. 

Adriana joined our group a few minutes later on the way to school. We talked on the way there and told her the whole thing. "NO! He didn't!" 

I nodded. "Yes he did." 

"Girl, I'm so sorry for you." She hugged me. "Want me to get Adrian to hurt him?" 

"Nah, I'll have my ways of getting back at him." I smiled.
