Chapter 6
Ok guys thanks for all the support and stuff here is the new chapter!!!
Recap:
I got 'home' and I was greeted by the graces and Gaia. I smiled at them and hugged each one of them but told them that I'm tired so I was going to retire to my room. They all wished me sweet dreams and sent me off to bed.
I got to my room and I noticed scratches on my door knob as if somebody broke in. I was a bit scared but I pushed open the door and reached for the light switch. I turned it on and no other than...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was Hephaestus. I looked at him and he looked at me we said nothing for a minute. "What ar-" He cut me off suddenly. "I know it isn't your fault that the old Aphrodite betrayed me and it isn't your fault you aren't in love with me. Also I just want to be friends because I know you aren't like the old Aphrodite." He looked at me pleading with his eyes that I would understand what he was saying and accept it. I walked up to him and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you Hephaestus I know that you are a sweet man and I'm sorry that I don't love you and I would love to be your friend!" I hugged him and he froze but thawed and wrapped his strong arms around me. I pulled back and asked him to leave politely he got it and walked out. I laid down on bed fully dressed. I closed my eyes as I clutched my letter to my chest. I let tears flow and flow not caring that the door opened. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my side. I felt the blood flow down my stomach. I looked and there stood a human holding a knife shoving it into my side. It was a girl no bigger than 9. She was crying and I flipped over the knife wrenched out I knew it would heal. I was immortal. I looked at the girl trying to feel anger towards her something g was wrong I just felt her sadness and I felt bad for her. "Why did you stab me?" I asked curiously. "A man took me from my mommy and said I couldn't go home unless I tried to kill you. I'm sorry I miss my mommy!" I hugged her tightly. "It's ok." I murmured into her shoulder. I picked her up and she instantly grabbed on and I mad her fall asleep. Her breath evened and I moved her to one arm and headed for Ares.
"YOU FUCKING PIG!" I screamed as loud as I could with out waking the girl. I patted her head and looked at him. "You fucking pig this girl misses her mommy and you knew she couldn't kill me! So why did you do it." He looked a bit shocked. "I don't get it.." He seemed truly puzzled by something. I wondered what it could be. "You don't get what that you're a pig?" "No you should have killed her! The old Aphrodite would have killed her on sight like I did her mother and family!" I was suddenly even more pissed so he broke SOOOO many rules to test me. Humans aren't meant to be in the heavens! "Well that is fucking great but this time I'm going to kill you I set the girl down and lunged at him.
He dodged he was obviously more trained than I was. I didn't waste anytime going after him again. I heard gods gather around shocked at me golden blood dripping off my tore and ripped dress as I lunged at him thinking of ripping his throat out with my teeth. I stopped and thought. 'STOP!' He did it was as if he was glued to the very spot.
"Now I'm going to make you suffer for every live you have ever taken for any being." I let hate swirl and consume him. He screamed in agony. I heard Zeus before I felt his restraining hands and words of stopping. It didn't faze me. "ARES HURT!" I screamed and It must have felt as if the world was falling on him and crushing his very essence.
Zeus dragged me to Hera and told me to stay. I didn't have a choice with all the guards that surrounded me. "THE GIRL!" I screamed pushing through guards to get to her fragile body. She was alone no one she loved was alive. I loved her though I didn't know her. I picked her up and ran out of the room and to earth as fast as possible. Gods and goddesses chased after me but I didn't skip a beat I just ran further.
The girl was holding on for dear life. Crying for me to slow down. I whispered soothing words to her I couldn't stop. I found where I was looking for. The woods behind my house. I emerged myself in and ran toward my special place.
A lake in the back of the woods a lake in the shape of a heart almost the exact one that was tattooed on my arm forever I didn't have much time. I heard Zeus run after me lighting crashing around my head. I cried and sprinted faster. When I got there I put the girl to sleep and set her down with a kiss on the cheek and jumped in the lake. It's clear water let me see Zeus's lighting bolts get closer. Come on!
It hit. The lake buzzed with electricity. I didn't feel it though a water bubble was forming around me I tried to break out. 'LET ME DIE!' I screamed to my thoughts hoping for a miracle. The time stopped and I was raised out of the water bubble still wrapped around me. Poseidon walked from around the girl. "Aphrodite? What the hell were you thinking!?!?" He said pulling me to the side. The time sped again and The gods stood there staring me down. " I just want to be left alone!" I said as I jumped toward the sky. I flew to the heavens not enjoying it was much as I usually do.
I landed on my 'home' and ran toward my room. I needed to do something. When I got to the room tears were staining my pale skin with thin lines. I ran toward the drawer in the back of the closet behind a rack of closet and ripped the blood stained letter out of the drawer. I looked at the letter as I thought of all the times I had imagined opening it.
I slowly slid my finger under the seal and it ripped open the delicate envelope and pulled out a piece of white paper. I smelt it. Just like her. I unfolded it carefully not to bend it in the slightest.
