Annika's POV
"Okay Eros so explain to me again why you couldn't come down to the surface with them?" I ask after licking the cookie dough ice cream off of my spoon.After I was kidnapped we ended up in Harpers room to spend some quality sibling time together. So far it hadn't been bad, but there was still six hours to go, so it was far to early to say.
"Sometimes I work with the fates to help love move along a little more quickly, so I couldn't leave." He said. I nod and we all sit quietly for a minute just munching on our ice cream.
"Okay guys, so what are your greek names?" I ask turning to my three other siblings. I point to Harper indicating she goes first.
"Why? You'll just keep calling us by our Earth names either way." She says biting the ice scream on her spoon. I shiver, but ignore it.
"Because I'm curious."
Rolling her eyes she begins as she waves her spoon around dramatically.
"I'm Harmonia, goddess of harmony. I am the only daughter of Aphrodite and Ares, and the second born on September thirtieth." She finishes. Pointing to Julio he stands even though no one asked him to.
"I am Himeros, god of desire. I am the second Son of Aphrodite and Ares, and third born on September thirtieth." Without even asking Gio stands up. I roll my eyes, but let him continue.
"I am Anteros, god of returned love. I am the third son of Aphrodite and Ares, and fourth born on September thirtieth."
I turn to Eros expecting him to go, even though I already know his name.
"You want me to go?" He asks with a mouth full of ice cream.
"Duh."
"Uh-alright." He puts his ice cream to the side and stands like his brothers had.
"I am Eros, god of love and sex. I am the first son of Aphrodite and Ares, and first born on September thirtieth." When he finishes he sits and I stand.
"Wow you guys are awesome." I say in awe.
"Babygirl, we know." Harper says flipping her hair and taking a sip of liquor we stole from Zeus' huge stash.
"Don't get cocky or I'll take it back."
"Do you guys wanna do something fun?" Gio asks randomly.
"Like what?" Julian asks flicking Gio in the ear.
"Ow! I mean do you guys want to get tattoos and piercings?" He elaborates.
Julian, Harper, Eros, and I all give each other bewildered looks.
"Are you okay Gio?" Harper says walking over to him. She feels his forehead and he slaps her hand away.
"Yes dumbass. Let's just do it! Come on!" He says excitedly.
Harper puts her hands on her hips and stands in a motherly like stance. "You know that's not going to slide with mom, our dads, Zeus, and especially Hades right?"
When Hades is mentioned my ears pipe up.
"What do you mean 'especially hades'?"
Turning to me she rolls her eyes. "I mean he told us to make sure you're safe, and if we bring you back to him with a piercing and or tattoo he'll have our heads. Besides tattoos and piercings don't last long on our kind." Harper says waving her hands in a 'duh' like manner.
"Hades doesn't control what I do, but what do you mean they don't last on us?"
"You ask a lot of questions little sister." Eros says from his seat. "She means that Tattoos fade in a matter of months, and piercings just dissolve somehow. We don't know how it works, but they just disappear and the hole closes right away." He says taking a sip of his drink and taking a spoonful of ice cream right after.
