The Zodiacs {13}

<Venus POV>

I ran, and ran, I lost all sense of time or direction. He didn't know me. I was right all along, my Scorpio was dead, and in his place was this cold God. He was not my childrens father. Every step I took tore my heart apart more. But I needed to be free of him. I ran until I no longer could breathe. I collapsed on the floor, or clouds or what ever it was. I had run out of Olympus and now I was in the veil between worlds where I first discovered my true life. How I longed for the days before that. Before Scorpio. Even his name hurt. I cried, and cried. I must of been here for almost 12 hrs just running and crying. My heart had to be free, so I slowly went through my memories, emptying the ones of him from my heart. The time I first met him when I was 5 and he moved in next door, how he gave me a flower and then pushed me over. The time he beat up the bullies for me in year 5 when they called me spaz. The time in freshman year when he helped me out after the girls on the cheer squad had broken my glasses, so I couldn't see, and the more recent things, the time we found out about our lifes, how he reacted when he saw the real me, how we almost kissed, how he looked after me when I passed out, our kiss, him showing I was his at school, our dates, him telling me he loved me, our night of passion, him proposing, my ring necklace, our first dance at the party, him betraying me with Pandora, his protests, him driving me to the hospital and back, him on the pavement, bleeding, our kiss, his death. They were all gone along with the memory of his rejection, of me and his children. I had to be free of him.

"Venus." A voice echoed through the mist. "Venus, where are you?" It sounded desprate. I tried to shout but my voice was too tierd. I was too tierd. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I needed to sleep. I needed to be free.....

"Venus...." A voice sobbed. The voice was beautiful and it stirred a deep memory inside of me. I gently opened my eyes.

"VENUS...YOUR AWAKE." My mother shouted joyously. I smiled weakly at her and Fate, then I turned my head as they couldn't be alone, the sobbing voice didn't belong to them. A beautiful man sat next to my bed. His raven black hair contrasted with his pale skin, which was wrapped around heavenly muscles. What drew me in the most was his red eyes. Like smouldering fire.

"Venus...?" I stared blankly. Who was he?

"Who are you?" I asked. His eyes filled with tears and he furrowed his brow in confusion.

"I'm Scorpio. Do you know who you are? How old are you? Who are they? Do you have children?" He bombared me with questions. EASY questions aswell.

"Ofcourse I know who I am. I am Venus Jade Violet Samston, Daughter of Aphrodite. I am 17. They are Aphrodite my mother, and Fate. And ofcourse I have children, little Nyx and Apollo. Now what does all this have to do with you?" I demanded

"Who is your childrens father?" he asked. That should of been easy I'm not a slut. But I didn't know. I didn't remember having sex with anyone.

"I don't know," I whispered embarressed. My mother gasped.

"I'm their father," He stated, started to sob. That was impossible. He was a God, that much was obvious, and I had no clue who he was.

"No....NO....YOU CAN'T BE. STOP LYING." Geez I was being emotional.

"Sweetheart," my mother cut in,"He is telling the truth, here is the proof." She said handing me a locket. I gasped at the inside. It was impossible I had never had a picture taken with him. My head started to hurt. The pain was so much I started crying. Scorpio, looked at me crying and said,

"I will make you remember." With that he kissed me quickly and passionately. I felt it all the way to my toes. A flood of memmories were released from my heart.

"Scorpio, you remember!" I whispered.

"So do you!" he whispered back, and kissed me again.

We both realised we had forced ourselves to loose our memory by pushing certain memories out of our hearts. Me when he didn't remeber. Scorpio did it after he woke up, and realised he couldn't see me again, couldn't even tell me he was alive and had to watch me suffer alone. I spent the next few hours "Reuniting" with Scorpio. It was bliss. After that we spend our last few hours looking after Nyx and Apollo, commenting on the different traits they had inheritated. When it was time for us to leave. I had an idea.

"Come with us," I asked him.

"I can't. I can only live in this and the inbetween realm."

"So I won't see you again?"

"oh you will, in your dreams, I shall transport you to the middle realm, so we can be together." He kissed our children on the head and gave me a lingering kiss before I was engulfed by the bright light and transported back.

When I got my vision back, it was very bright, I felt oddly naked to be back in my regular clothes without my wings. I still had my ring, I could still feel it. But I couldn't feel my locket. I reached up to feel it but all I could feel was skin. Oh no! I felt like bursting into tears there and then. But I didn't I held it together as I took, my now sleeping, babies in a taxi and up to the hotel room. I quickly changed them, and then collapsed in an exhausted heap on the bed.

My dream started of normal, I was flying with Taylor Lautner, he was proclaiming his love for me and I was letting him pamper me with gifts when I was ripped upwards. It was quite painful, but when I looked around, I saw it was worth it. I was standing in the veil, and there was Scorpio, in all his Godly glory. He saw me and ran and kissed me passionately.

"I promised, we would see each other." His voice whispered against my lips, sending shivers through my body. I knew then we would never truly be apart. We spent that night in each others arms as one.

We lay panting in the mist. I couldn't stop smiling.

"When you left Olympus, I think you left something." Scorpio whispered. I racked my brains trying to remember what it was.

"My locket!" I remembered. He smiled and gently returned it to it rightful place.

"Perfect, I love how you will always have us with you next to your heart."

"I love how I get to wear my ring as proof to others of our love."

"I love you,"

"and I love you."

"It's morning, you should probably wake up now."

"but I dont wanna," I said pouting.

"But our children will be waking up soon, and they need their mama," he said kissing my bottom lip. "love you........"
