Love And War (camren)

prologue

Their love affair started in the cosmos, between the sun and the moon. And everyone knows the story of the sun and moon. Residuals of their love reside in every love story ever written, so it's no surprise that Lauren and Camila's love was created infront of sol and luna.

Lauren was filled with rage that day. The reason did not matter, it never did to Lauren. She always had an innate, lingering feeling of anger within her bones that made her every move for her. She was the Goddess of destruction no less. She was created to destroy.

She shaked the stars around her as she was pacing around, figuring out which planet to direct her rage at today. She was lost in her thoughts as She, walked by. Camila, Goddess of love and beauty. Camila walked by, gazing at the stars at her feet that were shaking, with a frown on her face, feeling their pain. When Lauren first looked her way, she was entranced. Her legs stopped moving, and the stars stopped shaking. Her eyes, however, were roaming Camila.

It started with her hair, brown and silky, catching the reflection of the stars. Then to her face, jaw sculptured by Zeus, eyes almond shaped and the warmest brown Lauren has ever seen. Then she got to her body. My god, her body. The white satin robe clung to her curves and shaped her skin like it was made to rest on her body. But for the first time, Lauren didn't feel a need to walk up to her and ravage her body, like she did with others. She was satisfied with looking, too scared to do anything other than look. She felt heat engluf her body when Camila noticed her shameless staring. Camila, on the other hand, smirked at her. She knew the look Lauren held in her eyes too often, for she always saw it in her many and many admirers. But behind that initial look of lust, Camila noticed a weakness, a yearning in Lauren's eyes. Camila was taken aback. All mortals and Gods looked at her in a purely sexual way, Lauren however, didn't. It was a look filled with love and interest, something she did not figure the Goddess of War to have. Camila reached Lauren and they held eachother's gaze for what seemed to be eternity. Time was not a factor for Gods, they were immortal.

Lauren, unable to form coherent words at this moment, leaned down and captured the brightest star she could find. She, with shaky arms, handed it to Camila, eyes never leaving hers. Camila smiled at her, but had a slight frown surface on her forehead. Lauren took note of that and told her, "Do the stars that link the cosmos not bewilder you? So beautiful, so bright, yet so abundant. Surely Zeus will forgive me for stealing it for you, for i can't find a more beautiful gift to give to you." Camila took a second to take her in, she thought to herself, 'even in love, she must hurt'. Camila felt something towards Lauren however, she looked at her with love and respect. Camila was not used to that look. She knew they will meet again, so with a smile, she took the star from Lauren, stepped forward, and slowly placed a kiss on her cheek. They locked eyes for a second, and Camila turned away, making sure to walk as gracefully as she could, trying to calm her drumming heart.

Camila didn't know it at the time, but the kiss she gave Lauren, ended a 5 year war.
