Ruthless

Exciting Being

Rhea's POV

It was already mid December, the air carried strong freezing winds that could make every human shake to their core. The trees have lost their leaves, everything looks very blue. There was not even enough light to begin with, the sun shines but it does not provide warmth.

In two days I will be leaving to Germany with my sister to take care of matters that have gotten out of hand. I watched from afar as one of my many servants moved by, doing her job as demanded, lately she has not gotten into trouble.

Her aroma alone drives me to the point of craziness, so sweet it reminds me of the best harvest of fruit. Her taste still lingers on my tongue.

In her own way she was fascinating and my hunger has started to elevate. Her hazel eyes met my own across the frozen field, she held it for a couple of seconds before going back to her duties.

"What are your intentions with Eden?" My sister spoke, I turned to look at her but her eyes were fixed on my black stallion. He possessed secrets not even she knew of, yet she has always been curious about him, just not curious enough to go near him which was smart of her.

"What are yours?" I shifted the question. This time her blue eyes met my own in a daring manner.

"She has a kind heart, everyone needs a friend once in a while."

"How charitable of you sister." I knew what she saw in Eden, it bothered me in a way she will never know. The past deserves to be kept in the past.

"Rhea, you pretend so much you have actually started to believe your own lies."

"According to you, what am I lying about?" She focused her gaze on Eden this time. My sister's skin looked even more pale because of this time of the year. Her dark brown hair was a trait she had acquired from our mother. Even though my mane was black like my fathers. We both still carry traits that reminds us of our dreadful past. 

"Everything, you hide so well your true feelings for what purpose exactly? You hide behind such cruel exterior only to shield a heart you no longer have. Our hearts stopped beating a long time ago, but there was one person who brought it back to life, only she tore yours out once again. She broke you and you blamed everyone but yourself." Earth must have given my sister a bath of courage or great stupidity, just like it was giving me a blast of pure energy, that came out of my body as an electric shock sending her flying across the field. It surely got us a few pair of curious eyes, Eden's included. I closed my eyes and tried to breathe in the scent of winter around me in order to calm my raging endless fury. Keana was someone that constantly was testing my limits and by the Gods above I did not want to unleash hell upon her. I adjusted my black fur coat around my body, lifting my gaze to see a few workers helping the princess up. I smirked her way, her eyes became murderous as the God Hades. She was not stupid enough to fight me back.

"I see you still find joy in torturing the poor girl." I turned around to be met by my brother in a long gray coat that reached his shiny black leather boots. Snowflakes covering his black hair and broad shoulders. "Such a fun little one she still is." I replied. He bowed his head and kissed my ring. He enjoyed being in my good graces, reminding everyone that he is above Keana. Sadly he was just a mere fool though he did not need to know that. At times I wondered why I felt no empathy, not even for my closest family... there was only one woman that could make me feel.

"Why are you in my palace? If I recall you should be on your way to Germany tomorrow morning."

"I will be Rhea, I was hoping to speak of strategies with you before I left, don't want to do something you do not approve of." In that moment Keana appeared dressed with her embarrassment, her fury gave me energy which is why she tried to pose herself beside me. One thing I did love about my power was how it fed on strong emotions without me trying to move a muscle, it is mainly why I am the strongest creature alive.
