The Daughter of Aphrodite

Chap. 3 Past

Hey it me Jammykitty! Please comment, I fully accept any advice on how to make this better, since I just started it!

Amethyst POV

I woke up feeling very relieved that its a new day. I told myself today I would just relax. I would say I wish that no one will bother me but...... I hear a soft knock on my bedroom door.

Even a demi-goddess can't make a wish come true. "Who is it?" Comes out of my mouth right away in a very harsh, sour tone. "Just open the door we need to talk." Apollo. Oh how this get any worse. I get up slowly and walk towards the door, and I open it only half way. "Come in as you please, Apollon the god of the sun."

I start to walk away when I feel him grab my arm roughly. "Amethyst, Pay attention to what I want to say." Apollo is now staring directly at me, as if trying to figure out how I feel at the moment. Noting this, my face turns expressionless. Soon he realizes how uncomfortable the moment has gotten and let's go of my arm, stepping back. "Go ahead, tell me what is so important." I can tell he noticed the sarcasm in my voice, but Apollo ignored it.

"I wanted to apologize about yesterday.... I want things to go back to...... Normal." Did he just say he wanted things to go back to normal. Sure. Why not! It's not like he admit his love to me, out of a sudden. Wait! That is exactly what happened. I looked up to meet his hazelnut eyes. "Explain what you are meaning to say, Apollo." I wanted to add, I don't understand, but my lips were sealed. He sighed. "I meant that I just want to put the past in the past." He steps closer making me flinch. Especially since I don't want to end in a bad situation.

Right now there is a hunky god, in my room, with a bed only two feet away. What could happen? "I understand now, I agree. It would make my mood better if things went back to normal. Now that you have told me this, and there is nothing else to dicuss....You can leave." I hoped he would be able to process the message but he just laughs and grabs me by the waist, holding me firmly. "Can't we just talk, since everything is back to normal." I struggle, while he places me on my bed and sits down next to me. I shiver a little and I keep my distance. "Apollo, What do you think we should talk about?"

The smile that just covered his face has disappeared. "We can discuss...... Wait, you never ask me what I want to talk about. But I don't mind choosing the subject of our conversation....... Have you managed to find out more information about your magic?" Now that I think about it. I totally forgot about my magic! Not too long ago I figured out that I have a hidden ability, questioning if my father was human. I told no one but Apollo. It all starting a little while back, I was walking alone and I was upset.

I started to feel lightheaded and I decided I should sit down, take a break. As soon as I sat down, tears redeveloped in my eyes. I screamed of shock when one of my tears hit the dirt, a small flower, probably a tulip, starting to grow. It turns out, I have a type of magic that involves me being able to make things that are part of nature........GROW. I have been trying to see if I can control the movement of plants or create a earthquake, but it was all unsuccessful.

"No, I haven't found out any information. I haven't even thought of looking for information, I have only tested it several times, and when I tested it I failed miserably." I have to be honest. A five year old could have done better than me......Soon his hand is firmly holding mine. "Its fine" The smile that makes someone's day reappears. "I'll help you, I will look at some of the books that I have been given recently, that is about a ability very similar to the one you have."

I don't return the smile but I agree that his help would be useful. Soon he leaves, now that I'm finally alone..... What should I do? I walk back and forth for a couple of minutes. Until I decide that going out wouldn't be so bad. Can't be any worse than yesterday.

I leave the castle quietly, making sure no one knows I left. But why do I even try to have a day to myself? I am now face to face with Cupid.

"Hello Beautiful, I just came to stop by. Since yesterday, you left me on the ground, and I assumed you were in a bad mood."

At that time, I wasn't in a bad mood. Cupid did annoy the underworld out of me. I stood up straight, showing posture and tried to give a clear but friendly rejection. "Cupid....... Leave before I summon Hades to kick your ass." It was a little rude but it was nicest thing I could have said to him. His reaction was priceless. Until his face went into a devilish smirk, the way he usual looks.

"So your a feisty one, well that makes me more attracted. You must be feisty in bed as well." I just died inside because of those last words. Was I not clear enough? I give a quick glare while saying farewell and leaving, not wanting to be there. But he comes after me in a hurry, yelling wait, so I stop walking and he hands me a ruby colored rose. "This is for you, if only it was as perfect as you." I take it giving him my gratitude finally disappearing into the woods.

It has been hours already, but before I go home.........I look at the present scene in front of me, I need to test my magic. I walk toward a pile of soil that looks well enough for growing. I swipe my hand slowly over it, feeling the energy begin to flow through me. Until my hand starts to glow a pleasant color of neon green. Where the soil used to be there is now a oversized tree in place of it, that is quite beautiful. "I can't believe I did that! I did it!" Soon my celebration becomes tiring, and I faint. Falling into a deep sleep with the rose that cupid gave me lieing right next to me.
