CHAPTER 18 - DREAMS AND FLYING

Aerith's Room
Hades' Palace

The Underworld

-Aerith-

The door slammed shut and I didn't even flinch.

I was numb inside. Outside, I was shaking. I felt like crying but no tears would fall at this point. The vision of what I saw earlier replayed in my mind like a movie on loop that I cannot stop.

I was conflicted.

We haven't even established our relationship, right? I didn't even want to stay here even though I agreed to take things one step at a time. Yet why did seeing him in the arms of another woman give me all these... emotions? This anger. This jealousy.

Why did seeing his lips on another's fuel this fire in me?

I didn't even like him. I kept repeating that to myself until the pain ebbed. But it did not. And I was just lying to myself. The moment, I admitted that... the tears fell. Maybe this was the sign I needed that things weren't meant to be. Maybe fate was wrong for once.

Gods really can't be faithful, right? Zeus had lots of wives and he always fucked around with mortals. Poseidon too! And Hades was their brother so it really shouldn't come as any surprise.

I sobbed harder. I could feel Hades was somewhere near but I didn't have the strength to deal with anything right now when what I saw earlier was still fresh in my mind. I will talk to him soon... just not now.

At some point, I drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

My dreams were filled of Hades and that girl. She was beautiful. She looked like Angelina Jolie and she really was breathtaking. The scene changed and I dreamt that I rushed towards them both and broke their sordid embrace. The scene changed again and I dreamt that I was strangling them both.

I dreamt that I was in the game Resident Evil and the woman and Hades were zombies. I used all my bullets just to kill them both. Then, I used some flamethrower I picked up and torched both their bodies to the ground.

And then the dream shifted.

It was not one filled with anger and gore this time. I dreamt that I was the woman who looked like Angelina Jolie. I dreamt that I was the one sitting on Hades' lap and kissing the breath out of him. It felt so good and so right. I just couldn't get enough of him. My hands roamed every inch I could reach as our tongues tangled. His scent enveloped me and I knew I needed air but I didn't want to let go.

My whole body tingled as his hands touched my arms, my shoulders and my waist...

"Your highness... Wake up... It's time for school..." A voice said as hands gently shook me awake. I opened my eyes and saw it was Ruby.

Why is life like this? Why do you always have to wake up just when the dream was getting good? It's like one of the mysteries in life that had no answers: why do good dreams end unexpectedly and why do bad dreams continue and feel as though you were in it for hours?

I quickly rolled off my bed and did my usual morning routine: breakfast and then shower. I sat on my bed waiting for Hades to knock – that is if he wanted to talk. Right now, my mind was clearer. I feel like I could have a somewhat civil conversation with him today and hear his explanation.
