Khinei's POV
I woke up feeling quite all right, well if you ignore the fact i felt like i've just run a marathon. I got up from a silk bed, i apparently was lying down, wondering how i got here.
When i have sat up, i looked around and noticed that I was in quite a big bedroom but strangely only has a door and a bed. It looks like a cell for a crazy person but judging from the walls only royalty has the right to see those designs. So therefore i conclude this is a room for crazy rich person.
"How on earth did i end up here?" I asked aloud to no one in particular since i'm alone in the room. I started to frown as i try to remember how i could possibly have gotten here when the door opened.
In walked a woman with the same shade of caramel brown hair as mine though hers seems to radiant some glow off. Everything about her features are like mine though hers are showing no imperfections. The only thing different about her is her eyes which are ... burning red!
That got me out of my daydream and i remembered everything, my dreams (all of them) my visit at the throne room of the gods and how she kidnapped me.
She may look like my mother but she's not. She's Arzeya's mother and at the same time Arzeya's murderer. She's the woman from my and Arzeya's nightmares. And she's not here to give me tea (even though that's how it looks like with her standing by my door holding a tray of tea) but here to murder me and er daughter once more.
She opens her mouth probably to say, "I'm so glad you're awake my daughter!" but i cut her off by saying, "Why did you kidnap me Hera?"
The once pleasant smile in her pretty face turned into something scary. My whole body starts to shiver and i feel Arzeya inside me stirring nervously. Hera looks like a tiger that had just cornered her prey. Which is probably right cause me and Arzeya are the cornered prey.
"Decided to cut to the chase eh? You always were never patient my dear daughter." she said although her voice is sweet i could feel venom dripping from every word.
"I'm not your daughter! I'm not Arzeya! So let me go!" i snapped back although i feel myself shaking very badly.
Hera seemed to sense it for she started laughing, not the good one but the kind that says she enjoys my discomfort sending a chill down my spine. She put the tray down on a table that appeared out of thin air and slowly but gracefully starts heading in my direction. I on the other hand is paralyzed at the bed.
"Yes, Khinei i'm so sorry to involve you in our little family feud. But you see since arzeya is inside of you you can't help being tangled in her mess. So just be a good girl and release my naughty daughter and i'll try to ... discipline her." she said with the same tone of voice still advancing towards me.
I should've said yes but being the stupid girl i am (Percy's stupidity is quite contagious) i said, "No! Why do you want to kill her anyway?"
"So you're renter still haven't told you about it? I'm surprised. Anyway let's see..." she said. She stops walking her face seem deep in thought as she taps her chin trying to think of the answer. Then she snapped her fingers her red eyes flashed and she said, "How about the fact she betrayed her mother by ruining my plans? That's not a good way a daughter should act right?"
"What are your plans?" i said ignoring her questions deciding that if i keep her talking for a while it will be enough for me to calm down and think or maybe give enough time for Percy and the others to rescue me that is if they even know i'm gone. I shuddered at the thought.
"First you must know my motives." she said still not walking. She looks me dead in the eye as if trying to pierce through my soul. She has a smile that kinda says she already won or she is taunting me even though she knows she is wasting time.
I gave a slight nod of my head as a sign for her to continue. I'm too afraid to speak, afraid that my voice will break and shiver and cause tears to flow proving just how vulnerable i was and i don't like it.
Hera does her trademark horrible laugh. I thought she'll laugh for the rest of her life which is fine by me but she soon said, "Simple i want to overthrow that pest of a husband of mine."
"That's insane! Impossible!" i said my voice returning though it's just a murmur.
Hera seemed to hear it for she replied, "Nothing's impossible especially if i have your daddy Kronos' help."
Arzeya's dad is the Titan Lord Kronos?? I was struck speechless but soon a lot of questions entered my mind, but i decided to ignore all of them. I have a bigger fish to catch so i said, "You really are insane! Kronos is exiled into pieces very deep in Tartarus!"
"Yes but he almost got out with my help if it weren't for you traitor of a daughter Arzeya!" she said her calm cocky demeanor dissolving into anger. She realizes it and soon regains her composure, "Anyway, that's why i have to kill you and those meddling savior of a gods Hermes and Apollo." She said as she starts advancing on me again.
"And since you won't be cooperative Khinei i have to get you out of the way too." she said and this time she stopped walking for she's right in front of me.
I opened my mouth to speak but her cold hands (which are probably cold due to ice running in her veins) seized my throat strangling me to death...
