the warrior with wings.

chapter 2

(persephone POV)

*flashback*

I am outside with my mother 3 brothers and father. It is a sunny day and everything seemes alright. Me and my brothers are playing tag and ran far away from mother and father. I was hiding behind a tree trying not to get caught. When i see a few men in the ditance charging torwards our town

"mommy!" i scream, terrified that the men were gonna hurt me. I am only 11 i cant die today! i hear some people scream and i run. I have to find mother!

I saw mother take out a sword to fight one of the men. She raises her wings high to intimedate the attacker. She swings her sword slicing the mans neck. Mother looked over to me with tears in her eyes i see her smile as she sees me.

She runs over to me picking me up and running to get my brothers.

But it was too late. all my brothers were huddled together for safety when one of the men sliced at them severing my 9 year old brothers head the men start pulling my 13 year old brother and my 6 yearold brother apart and brutally slicing into their stomachs, legs and arms.

My mom cried out in pain from the loss of her children. Mother looked at me and held me tighter to her chest.

she runs in the oppisite direction only to be faced with a gigantic muscular man. She puts me down and glares at him she makes her move and tries to fight him. I'm standing right there next to mother as the man stabs her trought the stomach."MOMMY!"i scream. "MOMMY NO! MOMMY! MOMMY PLEASE! m-Mommy-" my dad is dragging me away to safety now but i cant stop looking at mother. I see her take her last breath as my eyesight becomes blurry from tears.

"Mommy..."

*flashback over*

I look at the ground and feel a tear run down my cheek. "Oh no im so sorry Persephone!" i hear Aphrodite say.

Oh no i was crying i cannot cry. I whipe my tears away and look up forcing a smile. "It's alright princess Aphrodite! im alright..." I say. the princess looks at me worry in her eyes.

She was about to speak but her father interupted her. "Alright now. Lets sit down and wait for the queen to get here. Then we will dine and discuss why persephone is here."

We turn to the door and see it open. The queen walks in the dining room, I stand up and kneel in front of her. "Greetings Queen Marideth " I say and take her hand kissing the back of it gently. " greetings knight Persephone"she says looking deeply in my eyes. I let go of her hand and stand to my feet. "Now let's sit and discuss why you are here"the queen says,

I nod in agreement and sit down opposite to the princess. "Alright, Knight Persephone. You have been called here to protect my daughter from outside threats" the king says. I nod in agreement.

He continues."you will be rewarded handsomely. if she is to be arranged a marriage with another kingdom you shall keep being her guard." The king says and looks at me waiting for a response."I will protect her from any and every threat and if the day she marries comes I shall keep on protecting her"I exclaimed

(Aphrodite POV)

i look at my knight Persephone. I cant help but wonder why he was crying earlier, i felt bad and wonder if something had happened to his mother. I listen to them as my father talks about how Persephone had to protect me even if i got into an arranged marrige. I suddenly felt a lump form in my throat.

I dont want to cry infronth of my knight."Exuse me i need to use the garderobe." My father noddedd and excused me with a wave of his hand. I stood up and walked torwards the garderobe. When i entered the garderobe i closed the door and leaned against it.

I didn't want to marry some cocky prince whom only wanted to rule our kingdom insted of loving me. I start sobbing as i slide down the door my back facing it. "I-i d-dont want t-to mar-ry somE SCUMBAG PRINCE!" i start crying louder hoping no one heard me. I lay down on the floor and pass out.
