Daughter of Hades

To Grandmothers House We Go

" Why do you look so nervous" I looked up at Hermas father, Hermes, and frowned at his question.

"My grandmother hates me as much as everyone else does" Hermes looked down at me and  laughed before playfully tugging  my long green and red hair.

" What's the big deal with you about being liked, fuck them, their Gods Helena, not humans, like you said their egotistical children, who cares how they feel for you as long as they give you what you need" I rolled my eyes at the trickster God and shook my head.

" How easy for you to say, all the Gods adore Zeus and Hera's  son, Hermes" He laughed again and pulled me into a hug which caught me off guard. I awkwardly hugged him back and waited until he pulled back.

"I'm so happy my little girl chose you as a mate" I gave him a small smile and nodded, I was happy she chose me as well. Feeling this confidence fill me from nowhere I knocked on the vine covered door. My grandmother answered with a bored look on her face.

" Where is your mother, she's late" I shrugged my shoulders and walked past her into her home, followed by Hermes.

"Grandmother I need your help, Ares......." My grandmother frowned and balled her fist up. Was she going to hit me?

"Do not mention that filth's name in this house, after what he did to you" I frowned, she didn't vote for him to be punished during the Gods trial. I wasn't aware she believed me.

" Ares is most like his father girl, we all know, even Zeus knows, how he ravaged you, they just don't care or don't want to go against Ares, some both" I sat in the chair, letting the earth and nature calm me, free me from those thoughts of when Ares raped me.

"Which was it for you grandmother" She looked at me confused for a moment before recognition lit up her face and she looked at me sadly.

" I never claimed to be the best grandmother to you Helena, but your mother loves you and I love your mother, you both are a part of me and I love those parts, its your fathers part of you I hate" She said in such a menacing voice, I couldn't help but be a little hurt by it. I pushed those emotions away and sighed heavily. 

"So because of your hatred for my father, you would let the men who raped me go free" I said feeling my body start to twist and turn inside. I was angry, I was furious and I honestly shouldn't have been.

"What did you think Zeus was going to do to his favorite son Helena, huh, put him in time out, why were you alone with him anyway, how did he get you alone" My grandmother asked eyeing me suspiciously.

"My father blurted out the what Aphrodite did for me, he told me she cursed me to be a whore and said other mean things that hurt, I ran into the woods behind grandfather's home, Ares was talking to Aphrodite, begging her forgiveness for what he did to her, she left, his sons found me and took me to him, then he took his anger out on me, on my body" I said not exactly sure why i was telling her this with how upset she had just made me. Why did I just want someone to understand what he had done to me, how it had affected me?

"He had his way first grandmother, he wasn't gentle or nice, he spread my legs and just did as he please, as his sons held my arms down" Demeter put her hands over her eyes and shook her head. My words were flowing from my mouth now, words of venom, poisonous words to infect her. To make her see what  was done to her blood, who she should have stood up for, but did nothing.

"Once he was done with me, his sons took turns, at this point my poison affected them, but he wouldn't let them stop, he healed them whenever they were close to death, they took me at the same time, one in my mouth, one ............................" "Helena stop" I closed my mouth quickly as I turned to see my mother at the door. Hermes was sitting in the corner of the room, his knees close to him while he rocked, my grandmother was screaming stop, stop. I didn't even hear her.
