I feel Dylan wrap his arms around me and bury his face in my next. "I feel as if I haven't seen you at all since we got home." He mumbles softly.
"Because you haven't." I reply with a knowing smirk as I turn in his arms. I stand on my tiptoes and kiss him softly.
A loud bang is heard causing my heart to race as Dylan tightens his grip on me. "Rosie Summers. Dylan Summers. You have been summoned." A deep voice growls as hands grip onto our arms.
In an instant we are transported. My breathing hitches as I open my eyes. Dylans handis suddenly ripped away from mine. Eight men and women sit around us. My chest heaves slightly as fear knaws on my stomach.
"What the hell?" I mumble. The room is impossibly big and extravagant. "Rosie." I look to the voice and notice my mothers panicked eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispers as tears well in her eyes.
"Rosie." I reluctantly look away and my eyes meet those of the dark curly haired man seated in the middle. "Yes?" I ask softly.
The hands around my arms never loosen their grip. He sits forward a bit. His gold eyes examine mine intensely. "You've beaten the hound." He states as he looks me up and down. "My hounds are difficult for even I to beat." A black haired man with red eyes tells me.
My mind races as realization sets in, "You're all gods and goddesses?" I mumble.
"Good you know us." The one in the middle says.
"Why are they here too?" I ask referring to my mother and Dylan.
Hades smirks, "Your mother has broken the rules and he is just here as clatteral, to ensure you won't do anything rash."
"I would never. Please just let us go. I don't know what you want and I don't care." I practically yell. I am tired of being put in danger and fearing for my life and those around me.
"We will let you and your mate go if everything goes smoothly." The one I assume is Zeus says smugly. "And my mother? What has she done?" I ask as my eyes meet her teary ones.
"She killed a goddess." A blonde haired man says with a frown. "What?" I ask as my heart sinks. "About a month ago, Aranyani, went missing. We found her deceased in her cabin and your mothers scent was everywhere. A herb was taken. One that has no doubt saved your life multiple times." Zeus says with anger in his tone.
"She didn't know!" I cry out as dread fills me. I can't lose anyone else. "She did." Hades says as he rubs his jaw and looks to my mother.
"I'm so sorry Rosie. I didn't know what else to do. You were dying." She mumbles as a tear slips down her cheek.
"Now." Zeus says. "Please! No, don't do this!" I cry as I struggle to get out of their hold.
He gives a nod to the men walking towards my mother. "No! Stop!" I cry as tears fall freely from my eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispers. A goddess with black hair turns away as a tear slips down her cheek.
"Do it." Zeus says calmly. Her neck is snapped in an instant. Time stops as her body falls limply to the floor and her eyes close as the life leaves her body. "No!" I scream as tears fall and the men behind me fly backwards from the force of my scream.
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon all tense as they watch. Even through my sadness I felt the power behind my scream.
I run to her lifeless body and pull her into my lap. Silver veins run throughout her body as her akin geows pale. She may not have been there for most of my life but she has helped me, taught me, saved me.
"No momma!" I cry as tears fall from my cheeks onto hers. I feel someone grab me softly and wrap their arms around me. "Shh baby it's ok." I lean into Dylan as my breath comes out in short pants.
Anger fills me as my eyes glare at the gods before me. The black haired lady stands, "I still can't do this alone." She whispers softly.
"Selene, sit down." Zeus commands.
I look up as my eyes widen. The moon goddess. Dylan holds onto me tightly before he is ripped away from me once more. My only source of comfort is gone. "Patience brother. You did just kill off my other half." She says as she wipes a tear from her porcelain cheek.
Hands force me to kneel as one grabs my hair causing me to look up. "Let her go!" Dylan growls as he struggles. Selene walks up to me slowly, elegantly. "No need to be so rough." She seethes at the men holding me.
They let my head go as she kneels in front of me. "May her power flow through you. Vampire, wolf, witch, now moon goddess" She whispers as her forehead touches mine. Her silver eyes swirl with sorrow and hope.
Silver starts spreading through my veins. Fear consumes me as I am let go. "What have you done Selene!" Zeus growls as lighting crackles outside. "Silence brother. You left me no choice." She yells as she sits back down.
The silver spreads through my body slowly causing a fire like pain to consume my veins. I let out a scream as I fall to the floor. My veins burn as my skin feels raw and exposed, as if I'm being burned.
They let Dylan go and he is instanlty near me. Sweat drips from my forehead as I feel myself on the verge of losing control. "Dylan I can't. I'm tired." I grind out as every muscle in my body tenses. The room shifts color as my eyes change.
"She is going to shift. Her eyes." Poseidon says calmly as he watches with great intensity.
I feel my head get heavy as the room spins and the floor comes to meet me. Hands catch my head as darkness consumes me and the pain disappears.
