Daughter Of Chaos

CHAPTER 76: 'The talk' from Jack

Natasha POV

I slowly parted from Percy avoiding eye contact and sat up. "Uhm, Percy... I wish to be left alone for a while, please." I said, "How can I leave you alone after what I just saw?" Percy's voice broke, "You all were requesting to know what happened right? I've shown it to you all, now I'm requesting to be left alone... Please." I croaked, "I need to rest for a little while." I said, "Alright, but I'll be back." He said and I nodded.

I lied down on my bed and cried into the pillow silently. I then finally went to sleep.

I felt somebody caress my cheek and my eyes shot open. It was grandfather. I found myself lying on the matted floor of my room. "What happened here last night? You bed is burnt, your room is in utter chaos and you are sleeping on the floor." Grandfather looked worried and I sat up. I looked around my room and it was as he had described.

I looked around my room and so it was in such a bad condition, I felt so tired despite having slept. I wondered if I had even slept or all this damage had been done by me. I looked at the room, then at grandfather, he looked at me with his observant eyes, "Good morning...I don't remember anything." I said tiredly.

"About last night..." Grandfather began and my tears already started falling, "Grandfather, I'm not in a right space to talk about what happened. I don't wish to speak about it." I said, "I understand sweetheart." Grandfather said as he sat down and hugged me as I cried. "I'm sorry that the person who did this to you is a son of mine." Grandfather apologised as he soothed me.

I lied on the floor and rested my on his lap, "It's not your fault. Like you had seen, I'm not angry with anybody and neither do I hate anybody." I said in a whisper, "Are you afraid of Order?" Grandfather asked and I nodded. "Look at me." Grandfather said and I turned and looked up at him to find him with a warm smile.

"I proud of you, you are really the strongest person I know. I know this hurt you and it's still hurting, but don't let it get you down. We are here for you, and we love you. I love you my dear granddaughter." Grandfather smiled wiping all my tears away. "Thank you, it means a lot coming from grandfather... Grandfather, why does Order hold so much hatred for me, did I do something to him?" I asked, "No sweetheart, you were just caught between two powerful feuding brothers." Grandfather said.

"W-why did he torture me like that? Just because I'm my father's daughter?" I asked as tears fell, "Shh. Because you are your father's weakness, as long as Order had you, he knew Chaos would be too weak and vulnerable to fight." Grandfather wiped away my tears again. "Order is grandfather's son right, then can't grandfather scold them both and tell them to stop fighting, 'cause even brother Tartarus got hurt by Order." I suggested and he looked at me sadly.

"Order has been led far astray... And even if he were to oblige, Chaos is going to kill Order after what he saw last night." Grandfather said sadly, "I'll talk to father, then father will forgive his brother and everything will be alright. They don't have to take each other's lives." I cried sitting up and looking at grandfather.

"Natasha, if Order came to live with us over here, how would you feel? Wouldn't you be scared?" Grandfather asked holding my hands, "I would be scared at first, but I'll get u-used to him. I'll even start calling him uncle!" I said trying to sound happy.

"You are so naïve." Grandfather cupped my cheek, "How does grandfather feel about your sons trying to kill each other?" I asked, "How is a father supposed to feel sweetheart?" Grandfather asked, "I guess I can only guess, imagine Jack and I trying to kill each other, how would our parents feel?" I tried to imagine. "I'm sorry grandfather." I hugged him.
