Chapter-4
"A cat really. I'm more of a dog person." He teased, has he helped me with my tail tucked. Between my legs, ears down growling.
"Someone not a Happy Pretty Kitty." He said, not able to stop smiling. So I decided to change into a full grown white wolf.
"Eww spoke to soon I like this one better." He couldn't help but hug my wolf form.
"So fluffy." He snuggled me.
"Careful he might not let you change back since you showed him you can do that. He might decide to keep you as a new pet." Zeus joked.
"Never know I'm just might. She already knows I like her and I'm interested." Hadies replied, as I surrendered. He covered me with his coat. When he noticed I was changing back. To my human goodness form.
"Warn me next time you don't want everyone being able to see your goods." He replied.
"I can't verbally speak when like that." I replied.
"Then dont do it unless I'm around. My... friends go.. you know what I'm trying to say." He said, catch himself.
"You just about said my girl didn't you?" I whispered smiling.
"Sorry that's over a boundary. Isn't it." He asked, sheepishly. I shock my head and he was. The only one who didn't see it. Because he was to timid to look me in the eye. When I heard, my father yelling for me. I sighed letting out a deep breath. Taking my Devine blade back. Hugging Zeus before walking over to Hades.
"You know theres only so many hints. I can give you. Big guy. Sorry I can't be more straight forward. As you about your feelings. But I'm just to damn sensitive to openly express mine." I whispered in his ear giving him a hug. Slipping the my devine I just gotten off of Zeus with a note typed to it. Slipping it into his pants pocket without him noticing. Kissing his cheek and leaving. The note read as written. 'Dear, Hades. Hopefully you can forgive my reply. When you liked me. Truth is I might be a god of war and wisdom. But no matter how strong or powerful I am. I hesitate when it comes to opening up because the fear of rejection. Even though I already know I blew it. Like I do everything else. Especially since I seemed like I wasn't even interested. Even though I was trying so hard to give you sutle hints. Instead I should have just been honest. Even if I get rejected and humiliated. I can't stay afraid of being rejected forever now can. Love, yours truly Athena. Ps. I am truly sorry. I made you feel awkward. If you didnt mean that like and I misunderstood the situation. I get the to mixed up when I genuinely like or am interested in. Please don't hate me.'
I jumped into a nearby tree and into a window on the palace. I walked threw the halls. To my room to slip underclothes. Before slipping a black skin tight jump suit. But still putting his jacket back on. Then head the main hall.
"Selena! Where is my daughter?" He yelled from the main hall.
"Dad calm down. I'm right here. I just needed to change. Unless you you wanted me just coming in the jacket. Sorry my clothes I was wearing earlier got shredded. When I was guffing off with Zeus an Hades." I said, walking out and bowing. Infront of my father. When Aries ran to his side whispering. And suddenly he was no longer mad. But smiled brightly. I glanced at Aries. Who I realized was present outside and was one. Of the god that was watching me. So I knew that he was aware of everything that hate is going.He got up from his throne chair. Walking over to me.
"Shredded right. You should have just said you shape-shifted. Aries snitched on you by the way. I'm not mad I just wish you would have. Told me I had a look to have known. That were that strong. So why'd you hide your real name for me and your mother. You didn't even tell us.
Because I'm smart green come on I'm a fan of the Greek god of war and wisdom. I didn't want people to treat me different I'm more than just one type of God. I'm more like close to 30 different types. Twenty eight to be exact. Most I've made myself. I know have found out what all I could. They try to control me. I mean people in past have tryed. I'm sorry I should have been more honest. You are my father you did raise me. And I'll accept whatever punishment I get." I said, when lifted my chin with his fingers so I was looking at him he smiled warmly getting a good look at me. Can't believe I forgot how beautiful my daughter is and you're not going to be punished. Just don't do it again. Here I am worried about some assassin coming after you. When I actually got to work more worried. About what you're going to do the Assassin." My father said, caressing my cheek loving. He hugged me. Running his fingers through my really long hair like he used to when I was growing up. Before he had me start covering my face and hair. When I was ten. In other words. He hasn't seen my teen or adult appearance.
"You bet. Anyone that dares to mess with me. I've always made them regret it. I'm not a pushover I never have been. I only play good little girl, Innocent. ouldn't hurt a fly role for you. But I'm anything but and I'm definitely not a little girl. I'm a full grown ass woman. I'm more then capable
"I know but your my little girl. Sometimes it's hard for me to admit that you're adult now. Old enough to make your own decisions. And I should have more faith in your ability. I just want you to know I love you very much. No matter what always will.... and is that Hades jacket?" He asked, just now noticing. I couldn't help it.
"Maybe..." I said, smiling innocently. As my cheeks flustered a light shade of pink. Making a huge smirk formed on his face.
"Are you blushing? Dose my baby girl have a thing for Hades?" He teased only my whole face fluster bright red.
"Shut it at least you know I've got good taste. Besides I blew it anyways. If he did mean like that. Because the last time somebody said that they cared and adored me they mets a sister and I got the wrong idea. And humiliated myself in front of them. Luckily they were understanding. When is when I find somebody I like. I have a bad tendency of being too sensitive. The words I always get my feelings hurt. I don't know how to get someone to like me like that or how to tell. I'm a God of War not a god of love I can't read peoples emotions like they can. Guess you can say is what got me interested in him to begin with. We're both two types of God that really sucks at emotions. Not to lie he's a real big sweetheart. And not going to lie I have a thing for really intimidating. hat other females consider scary males. So what did you think was going to happen when I met a god of the underworld in front of me on a silver plater. And it's just a place to he happened to have been really cute and a hunk. Do not tell him I said that. Okay I was checking him out a lot. Like alot alot. He didn't even notice. But everybody else in the vicinity did. How much more obvious do I have to be." I protested is my mother walked up smiling. She thought it was cute.
"Then why don't you just tell him then. He is a bachelor. Trust me the brothers never pick any females there pacifically like if one of them especially Hades. Cuz he's the hardest one to impress. Then you're really something special. He never gets interested in any one. Not even Aphrodite." om suggested.
"Mom it's me that were talking about there is no way I'd be able to walk up to him point-blank and say that I'd die of embarrassment. Oh and I know already Aphrodite already tried to start shit with me. Hades literally had to pin me. Because she got up in my face. That's a challenge and I was literally about to physically fight her. I so wanted to beat her ass. All because he was snuggling me." I admitted.
"He never does that he must really like you." She smiled.
"Yeah what kind of too late to find out. And besides I know that anybody. That knows him in this room is going to bust our ass tell him. Aries." I said, getting to my feet.
"Oops I kind of already did." He muttered.
"See my exact my people just love humiliating me." I said, angery stomping off to my room. I had in my room locking the door hiding underneath the blankets and using my small magic mirror. To talk to Wendy the mortal I whatch over. I even bust it down and told her about the whole Hercules ordeal and then I told her what happened today with Hades.
"Man I thought the humans were bullies. Sounds like they were trying to make a fool out of you I mean yeah they were getting you. To tell your feelings but they were doing it in front of everybody. How could they not expect you something. Not feel humiliated not everybody wants everybody to know. Their deepest feelings and desires. Especially if they're going to go tell them. Like Ares like what a dick. You don't just do that." She shook her head. As I is my big mirror to check with the other gods were talking about and it was all about earlier they were all gossiping about me.
This is more humiliating. All the gods know now because there are gossiping about it. I said tapping into their magic mirrors they were talking one they weren't able to see or hear me but I was able to see and hear everything I said and I let her hear it. Aphrodite was bitching about how much I'm a little Faker not to mention how dumb and naive. I am to think you would even like me.
"Oh wait until. I see your next time I will punch your face in nobody. Will want her after I'm done with her." I growled trying to hide the fact that. I was really pissed off.
"I don't blame you I would if she's going to sit there and run her mouth behind your back. She shouldn't have balls to do it." She said, I nodded in agreement. Before I'm punching my wall putting a huge hole through it.
"Damn girl. With an arm like that you can break her face litterally." She said.
"Yeah I could my dad's going to kick my ass for that." I replied, before saying how many of them were bad talkin me.
"Well there goes me having any friends." I said, showing her. All the nasty things they were saying. She cringed her face in discussed.
"You don't need them. Besides thinking on your nerves too much. You can always come live me. Will find you some real friends and you can even find your real nice boyfriend. I mean the other is a possibility that he could be a human but didn't you said that some nonhumans also live here. All we have to do is track went down a male. Or a demigod you said the demigods come here. You can also just pick one in them."
"I might honestly because there ain't no way I'd be able to face any of. Without wanting to punch out their face. Them knowing how they actually feel about me. I mean isn't sad that you even my friends are on here once I considered friends. Like this dude I practically grew up with him. And he sitting there talkingshit. Could you possibly sneak me in for the night? I don't want to be by myself." I asked, she nodded eagerly. I'd slipped in through her big mirror again. Climbing out onto her dresser.
She hugged me.
"You should leave them a note though. Telling them that you're not going to come back. If their going to treat you like that." She suggested I nodded.
Writing my parents a note saying
'Dear, Mom and Dad I love you guys very much but I need some time by myself I think the others were saying about me and I can't look them in the face North how I feel what that one did you punch out their faces so I'm not coming back home till they changed our attitude. I've been humiliated enough and made. A fool up for the last time. PS don't worry I'll be safe and sound and do not come find me because I've already set up blockers. To conceal on my location. Which only I know how to do cuz I use Dragon Tears to do it. And if you try to undo it will just detonate so please don't. But don't worry about me I'm safe I just need some time by myself and let's be honest I have no real friends with the other gods. That's why I told you not to track me I'm not in Eden. But I will not tell you where I'm actually at and if you do happen to figure it out there's over billions and billions. Of people here. So have fun trying to figure out which one's me. And please tell Hades I'm sorry for causing him so much trouble. And hopefully one day he'll forgive me but for now. I'm going to disappear off. I didn't mean to get him drugged in all this. So I'm going somewhere where I can't cause. Any trouble at all. Love your loving daughter Athena." I folded it. Sticking my hand through her mirror spending it on my side putting it on my mirror so I can see it. Before pulling my arm back out on her side.
"Done now what do you say. We have a great night I need to get the shit off my mind. God I wish I had some alcohol." I said before stopping on her bed before she pulled out a bottle from underneath her bed
Don't worry I told my mom that was for you she wants to meet you to make sure that you're up legal age I explained to them that you were having a bad stay in or staying with me where's that lobsters waiting for you so if they ask. You climbed in through room window. And hope you're good at acting human. My mom called my friends over. When I told her that you were coming. Epecially when I told her you had a bad day. My boyfriend's isn't coming over and he's bringing a bunch of guy friends. So pick your treat. Because I'm pretty sure the one that vampire after I found out about non-heme is in his head a lot of stuff that he does is like a vampire. It's not like I can ask him. I'm listening to One female friends and my boyfriend's best friend are werewolves. Their always said wearing gold contact. But I've looked at her eyes. There are no contact. And I'm pretty sure contacts don't glow." She said have I took the bottle and pulled a purse out of my small magic mirror. Which I hit all the human stuff like. My human ID my Human Social Security that sort of thing.
"Wait which one goes because that's an alpha. Only alphas. And does your vampire friend have red or violet Violet means he's a purebred original which means one that can give birth. And red means he was turned." I replied not even bothering to wait before I popped it open and took a swig.
"Wicked his are violet. But I forget his name. Hes new to our group." She said, giving me a lacy white short dress. With short white strapped heeled sandals. That were super cute.
"Mom ran out and picked them up. While you were talking to me. To make you feel better. I told them that you were really into someone for a long period of time. And since everyone in your (home town) are a tight knit community. That your father's the (mayor.) And that when you were finally telling your parents. Some of them were ease dropping told him. Then were putting you on blast on social media. Blast is a phrase we use. That means running their mouths or trying to start shit. That you needed to get away or you were going to break. Like how I told her put it. Break a bitches face. Mom said, call her over. It's not worth her going to jail for. Since your over the age of 18. That we'll have a slumber party. With our friends. To make you feel better. And that you can stay as long as you want. Ps I told her you were a model. She's been trying her damndest and harrassing me to get me. To she her a picture of you. She loves models. These a modles. By the way I've been wearing the necklace. That you gave me everyday everyone loves. It you keep on asking me. Where I got it so they're probably going to ask you. Beause I had no choice. But to tell them that you gave it to me." She Imformed me, handing me a huge stack of papers and books on modern day modles and how the business works. Took me not even five minutes to scan memorize every single page. Before changing in what her mom bought me. Did my makeup and hair. Like how I seen the models from her mom favorite modeling companies. Got to say for being my first time doing make and hair. Mine looked professionally done.
"How about this. Does it look okay. I've never done my makeup or hair before. Dose it look okay?" I asked, turning to her. While she was taking a drink from a cup. And as soon as she turned to me. Her eyes widened and she dropped the cup and froze in place. Blinking making sure she was seeing me properly.
"This is your first time doing your makeup and using a curling iron?" She asked.
"Well you we don't have electricity. None of us have a need for things such as make up. We're living gods Wendy we're already inhumanely beautiful. Of course we dont use it." I said, she just gawked.
"And you did that. Damn can you do mine pretty please?" She begged giving pouty lip. I got up having mature in front of her desk. That she used to make up station. She giggled excitedly. Before jumping into the chair. As I work my magic on her. Which I got to say it looks pretty damn good. She gasped at her reflection. Before jumping on me hugging me butterly wrapping her legs around my leg and wrapping her arms around my neck. Kissing my cheek.
"Thank you thank you thank you I love it!" She sqealed. If someone knocked on the door making me and her jump hugging eachother.
"Who's there?" we both said in unison.
"When she's here already let me see let me see?" She asked eagerly. I could tell it was her mother by her voice.
"Yeah I climbed in through the window sorry Mom. By the way I love the dresses you pick me out it's beautiful. I Love lace and the color matches my hair." I yelled.
"Sorry we're she was doing my hair and makeup." Wendy said, excitedly.
Where did she just say that she came in through the window sweetie are you alry did you do that that's dangerous.
"It's okay. I used the tree outside her window to get in. I do it all the time at my house. I'm going to gymnastics and a milliliter climber. Including rock climbing just saying I'm multi-talented." I replied.
"Okay well thank God replace sweetheart use the door. Your going to give me a heart attack." Her mother begged me.
"Ahh But Mom I like climbing and I don't like doors. Windows the more convenient." I pouted as Wendy finally let go of me. Letting me finally be able to walk over and open the door.
As soon as I opened it. A much shorter older woman just looked up at me and her face lit up.
"Sweetie you never told me about her hair was white. Although it does look very good on you." Her mother smiled running her hands through my hair pulling sign of it from behind me seeing how long it actually was.
"Thanks it's natural I have a genetic mutation what causes my hair to be naturally white. But I'm not albino. My name is Athena by the way. And before you ask yes I'm Greek. pleasure's dominate. You don't care that I call you mom right. Because your daughter is literally my best friend she's my sister so I consider any family of her family of mine."
"No not at all my dear you can call me mother as much as you want. Sweetie you didn't tell me she was a foreigner. Not I have anything wrong with it I just wish I would have known so I could have properly have prepared everything. Since I know the transition from a different country is very hard sometimes." She said.
"Best well I've actually been living here long enough to get the hang of it. My parents brought me over. When I was a baby. But I was born in Greece." I smiled.
"Well you are absolutely stunning. Honestly I can't do until your foreign. Don't worry you'll fit in just fine. Not going to bed and my daughter. Was talked about you and your wish she was younger I literally thought she was making you up and I finally get to put a face to a name. Alhough she called you Sarah and not.
Yes well we were very young she probably got me mixed up with my sister her name Sarah practically twins. She used to call us by the wrong name by accident all the time. Sorry it took so long for you to meet me my father is very strict I'm not really allowed to go anywhere. I'll just meet up with Wendy I had to sneak out luckily I memorize my father's personal bodyguardz schedules. So I wouldn't get caught. Which is actually why I started using. The trees around my house to get in. I was at sneaking if my dad had his way. I'd be confined to one room for the rest of all eternity. He is way too damn overprotective." I replied. Giving her a hug.
"Ahh Helicopter parents. I had those growing up that's why. I make sure to let my daughter have her freedom. And besides you're a hoe burning woman she didn't exactly tell me how old you are. If you don't mind me asking?" She asked kissing my cheek. Which I had to bend down for her to be able to reach me.
"24 yeah I know but I'm my parents only child. So it doesn't matter how old. I am he still going to treat me like a kid." I said pulling out my ID. To show her I wasn't bluffing. And I wasn't I mean I did stop aging at 24. She smiled, nodding. As I put it away
"Sorry I figured I'd show you prove I mean it's your first time meeting me I don't blame you for being a little skeptical." I replied, taking a drink.
"I just didn't realize you were that much older than her I mean she's 18 and you're 24 from how she described you know I always thought that you guys were the same age. That's the only reason why. I was making sure you were illegal. You can never be too sure these days. Also I can get in trouble for giving alcohol to a minor. But you're definitely illegal. So have at it. And just to make it fair. I'll be your drinking partner tonight. Since she's not old enough. We all know it's better to drink with somebody than by yourself especially if you're feeling as bad as she said I don't want you having a blackout." She exclaimed.
"Are trust me loud doesn't happen oh somebody pisses me off of course I'm very feisty which means somebody pisses me off I sometimes have a tendency to go a little overboard that's why she told me to come over she knew that if I met break their face I was literally going to break their face plus I'm pretty strong not to mention I'm really as I'll and I know how to fight really good best friend was my mentor. He literally knew everything fighting style. Because of me being a woman you thought. It would be very good. For me to know how to defend myself. He's also My Bodyguard. Trust me I'm surprised the shit out of him when he see no that I was at it. Oh and I also know swordplay and archery. My bodyguards from the same region of Greece I was born in and they don't know I've gotten. So they still use swords and you taught me how to use one." I assured her.
"Don't tell her father that hero sword play he'll have you show him. He's been obsessed with samurais. Since he was a kid." Her mom whispered.
"Oh no Mom like this girl's some nextlevelshit. That's how good she is with a sword. I've seen her do it. When she was showing me. While she practicing. And trust me she might look as delicate as a daffodil but she's really physically strong. And intelligent men only be only 24 years old but she is the smartest and wisest person I know. And I know with what she's capable of. It wasn't smart. To leave her in that type of situation. Because literally with the type of skill-set she has she could literally kill somebody with her bare hands I know that you would but you get the point because of how bad they were harassing and trying to start shit. With her I know if she gets angry enough. Probably end up in a rage. Which I for a fact that none of them would be able to stop her from. Because with all that experience. So she's not going to care how badly. She hurts them. Since they didn't care how badly they hurt her. So I'd rather her be with me. Then seeing her mugshot all over the TV. When I told my dad the situation a kind of laugh you didn't think I was dead ass serious when I told them you would seriously kill them. If I didn't get you out of there he thought I was literally just exaggerating well now you know I'm not. Because you matter and she even confirmed everything I told you." Wendy said.
