Silenced (Demigod Story)

Fawn! Otp!

I sat in the back, gagging every time that they hit a stoplight because they would kiss until the car behind us honked and then start driving again.  I felt sick to my stomach, hoping that I would barf on her leather seats, but the food just wouldn’t come.

We stopped at camp.  Wow, we were only driving for about an hour.  “Sweetie,” Chloe cooed.  “Did you know that your dad and I had a background?”

“What?” Dan asked, looking up at her.

“Yeah, I would watch him every day.  He loved me so much that he made me a sunflower,” she sighed.

“The last person that he turned into a sunflower was his greatest admirer.  Yet, he never liked her back.  Her love for him caused her to become a sunflower.  That is why sunflowers always face the sun, because she always watched him cross the sky,” Dan’s eyes widened.  “That is who you are?”

“Yes.” She then looked at Dan in disgust.  “I never loved you.  I never even liked you!  Get out of my car!” she yelled.  “You are an ugly stupid demigod!”

I was fired up right there.  “AND YOU ARE JUST A STUPID MORTAL THAT CAME BACK TO LIFE!  YOU NEED TO STOP TALKING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT MUCH OF EYE CANDY EITHER!” I yelled at her.  She stared at me, shocked.  “Come on Dan, she is nothing but a kisser, not a lover,” I grumbled as I got out of the car.  On my way out, I took my dagger out and stabbed her tire.

She never loved Dan, and she never will love anyone else.  Dan was still in the car, so I walked around the car to get to him.  I swung open the door and dragged him out.  “Don’t worry, I got our vengeance already,” I whispered in his ear.

“No, don’t.  She didn’t mean it at all.  She isn’t leaving,” Dan stuttered.

“Uh, yes she is.  She was planning this the whole time.  Your dad broke her heart so she got back at him by attempting to break yours.  She wasn’t there for you, but I promise that I will always be here for you,” I whispered into his ear.

He looked up at me, snapping into reality when the car drove off.  “I am so sorry Lorry, I didn’t know what I was doing!”

“It is okay, I forgive you.”

“No, I am really sorry.  You were there for me the whole time, but I treated you like a piece of gum on the bottom of my shoe!”

“Dating abuse at its best!” I joked to lighten the mood.  “Whatever she wanted, you wanted.  Whatever she thought, you thought.  You were only a copy of her and that is okay because now you aren’t!”  I sighed.  “I would never do that to you.”

“Why are you being so nice after what I did?”

“Because,” I paused.  “I love you.”  I held his hands, looking into his eyes.

“I love you too.”
