Ancient Fear (ON HOLD)

Chapter 11 Ancient Struggles

Hera's P.O.V

        Oh the nerve he had! He had no right to tell Athena that, UGH! I stormed past the Olympians in the majestic hallways and they gave me rather dirty looks, but I didn't care. I was a queen the queen, I will act however I please. My rampage led to my very own front door which surprised me because usually in a time like this I would go and yell at Zeus, I guess not today. My house was covered in shades of blue, purple and green. I admit it did not sound like the most attractive house but it was. There was a welcome sign on the front door which on a good day I kept but on a day like this I waved my hand and the words turned into You are not welcome. GO AWAY. I briefly thought the sign sounded a lot like something Hades would put on his door but I shrugged it off.

        Entering my house I slinked over to my favorite chair and slouched into it, unacceptable for a queen, but well I wasn't feeling very queenly today. Turning on my wall tv I scanned through the channels of demigods hopelessly fighting for their lives. I've seen these battles many times and occasionally I help some of the heroes on their pathetic quests. Today however I saw no one value on one worth helping and certainly no one with potential. I sighed a long exasperated sigh, a disapointing day indeed.

        Athena never did like me as a mother she had always depised me so I kept my distance. What should she refer to me now as? Certainly not mother, perhaps Queen, Hera, Queen Hera, no that was being naive pobably "That horrible creature that pretended she was my mother" or "There goes my stepmonster." I shuddered it's my fault though, I was a terrible mother" "Of course I wasn't a terrible mother" I hated myself for even thinking that. "SHE was a little brat!" A rather raspy voice croaked in my mind.

        CRASH-BOOM! CRACK

        I felt the walls of my house shake.

        "AMBUSH!" yelled someone outside.

        I staggered to my feet loooking out the window giants and hydras were outside. "Oh dear." Rushing outside I ran towards where they stood stopping short I caught my breath and identifying the giants, my daughter's rival was out there and the deepest most evil part of my mind whispered to me hope she dies a crue cold death for the pain and humiliation she's caused you to feel. My mouth fell open at the ghastly thoughts "No she will win" I whispered to myself "you want her to prevail." I had not been paying attention to my surroundings and a hydra must have destroyed a column and stone rained down. Something hard hit me in the back of the head.

        As I faded into nothingness my mind swirled oh dear this isn't queenly at all, and then the echo of you hope she dies you want her to feel pain.
