Chapter 8

"That won't be necessary. I was alerted as soon as your plane landed." I looked past Eros to see Kylie standing there with a devilish grin.

"What the actual fuck?" Eros turned around and glared at her. "So much for this fucking thing." He crumpled the map and threw it behind him.

"Adam, how could you think I wouldn't notice you being here?" She looked at me lovingly.

"You've got to be kidding me." I let out in an annoyed whisper.

---Eros POV---

"Where'd they go?!" I yelled as I turned to Adam hearing his whisper only to discover they had disappeared.

"How should I know?" Jay yelled running towards the spot Kylie disappeared.

"Tyler can't you track them?!" I continued to yell grabbing the map and unwinding it.

"How the hell can I do that? She stayed inbetween the veils so I can't track her!" He said annoyed over my shoulder.

"So they're still traveling along this route?" I pointed at the route we were taking to get to the house.

"More then likely. The best thing we can do is follow this route as quickly as we can till we get to the house. You or Jay are going to have to give me a ride."

"Jay! Carry your sisters lover!" I yelled starting my run. Without looking back I ran. Adam was in a fragile state, we couldn't just leave him with her. Either she'll kill him or he'll end up killing himself.

---Adams POV---

"Honey, I just needed a minute with you.." she whispered in my ear. I was numb. I couldn't move and I couldn't respond. I wouldn't respond. I looked around at the ash that was once my home.

"Talk to me. I know you still love me otherwise you wouldn't hate me so much." She grinned as she stood infront of me.

"Where is she?" I asked her with no emotion looking straight through her.

"No. We're not talking about her. You're supposed to love me! Not her!" She yelled shaking the ground.

"How could I love you when you never even loved yourself?" I looked to the sky hoping Rae could at least hear me.

"I've loved you since I laid my eyes on you! I've been doing everything I can to make you love me but you don't return my feelings! Do you know how much that hurts?" She began to cry like she used to whenever we would argue. Before I'd always act the coward and drop to my knees and hold her close but this time it only made me angry. I kept my gaze at the sky and felt the tears swell.

"Rae. Please help me understand." I sighed as the tears rolled down my cheek.

"HOW CAN YOU STILL BE THINKING ABOUT HER?! I even managed to convince the gods I'm more deserving to live then her but you won't forget about her!" She slapped me but I didn't move from where I was staring.

"Because he does not love you. Release him." Her voice rang from behind me, I knew her voice and it made my heart spark and begin to flutter but I still couldn't move.

"You?! Why are you here?!" Kylie screamed as she held onto me.

"I am here because I was allowed to do one last act to put this whole situation to rest." I could hear her voice coming closer. I kept fighting my body to turn my head. I was finally able to turn my head enough to barely see her walking towards us looking like the goddess she was. She was in white and light blue robes and she had a pure white aura glowing around her.

"W-what do you mean?" Kylies voice began to shake as she clunged to me tighter.

"You. Will repeat the most terrible days of your life in limbo until you learn your lesson. You shall be allowed to see human lives strive and find happiness while you struggle to understand that you had your chance but gave it up. This was not my decision but I'm here to see that your punishment is put into place since you've only caused pain to everyone you've claimed to love." Slowly but surely Kylies grip on me loosened as fear slowly casted in her expression.
