"What could he be jealous of? Is it that he can't reach my level of crazy?" I joked wishing it was all just a sad joke. Pinching my cheeks, Will smiled. "He is not jealous of you""Then who is the King of the Underworld jealous of?" "That's what makes it so funny." He fell into another round of hysterics falling on to the floor as I get off. Smashing his fists on the floor, his laughs turned into coughs and ragged breaths, marking the onset of another cycle. Ignoring the laughing mess, I turned on my heels ones again letting myself be lost in the maze of corridors. Making colorful faces at each painting I passed by I wondered the time and the effort the artist took to bring them into such detailed authenticity. Differentiable backgrounds and attires, only his stoic face remained constant. But with close inspection, one could notice the changing shades of darkness and sky that his eyes cast. One such painting held me in place, with the iris burning like molten magma and dark pupils
After about, say fifty such questions Will looked as if he had lost all sanity. But like a true gentleman, he answered each question owing to the promise he made. In the process of torturing Will, I had wholly forgotten about a certain god, but he appeared before my eyes upon his magnificent chariot, his hands combing through the mane of his prized steed.His eyes moved our way, neither surprised or expecting our arrival.....My arrival that is, seeing that Will was no longer in sight. I swore silently to have my revenge for his betrayal. Coming back to my current situation, I thought to myself. Should I turn around and run or walk away with attitude, maybe flip my hair while turning. But by his arched eyebrow that welcomed a challenge and the thinned lips waiting for me to start sprinting, he knew catc
I did not stick around for Will's explanation and sprinted out of the room only to come back soon after. "Will you be okay Greene?" The smile he had on faltered in a moment of surprise before he replied."I am healthy as a half-dead horse chased around by the God of death." He paused and suddenly as if he remembered he was meant to assure me he blurted out. "As healthy as a living-horse, who is not being chased by the God of death." I felt my forehead crease. "What I mean is that though the wounds were deadly being inflicted by Lord Hades himself and all, I am still..." He trailed off, realizing that he wasn't really "assuring" me in any way. Before he could speak again, it was Will who intercepted. "What he means to say is that he will be fine, you don't have to worry. I will look after him." "You would?" The question came at Will from both sides; Greene's astonishment no different from mine.Will nodded sparing none a single glance as he poure
With the grace of an elegant ballerina I followed him through the wide halls, only my head twisting and turning in silent protest. Hades, my current kidnapper hasn't shown any signs of acknowledging these efforts and as my body floated off the floor and I very much wanted to scream, but I was deprived of my ability of speech. Giving up, I let him lead me through the outergates and to the river which lay close to the eastern wing of his castle. Coming to a halt, he turned back to me, receiving my glare with a much practiced stotic stare.Is he planning on drowning me? I haven't angered him that level, haven't I?"I am going to free you now." He declared shadowing a warning. This meant that the drop kick I was planning on manoeuvring had to wait.When the invisible locks fell apart, I was dropped to the ground and I flexed and shook my limbs. "Hello, hellooo." I tested my voice and finding everything was back to how they were, I fixed a sweet smile upon my face.Just as I turned to
I stared back at him, wondering where he had gotten such an idea. It would have been less surprising if he had simply said. "It's frustrating to see your pouty face, so I give you my apology and accept it!"A giggle escaped my lips imagining his poker face as he said those lines. Shaking my head, I brought my mind to reality. " I can't believe that..." I started, but took an unfortunate miscalculated step back and found no floor for support. And then as I noticed the side rails that I couls have caught onto, a brilliant idea set off in my crooked mind.Sporting a winning smirk and folded hands, I made no effort to save myself from peril.In a messy splash I was greeted by the currents of thr dazzling river. A more graceful and quiet splash followed and we emerged face to face, one with a smirk and the other a frown."You weren't going to drown." He announced looking up the flowers I upheld.I ģrinned, but the comeback died in my mouth in momentary distraction. Each droplet drippin
I took the road less traveled by. The evening walk somehow awoke my inner ballerina. And so I twisted around in the summer wind.The first turn went well, the second not as much as I would have liked, but luckily no one was around to watch my embarrassing fall.It was when I waa rejoicing over this fact that it happened, my meeting with the strangest guest."A..aaa.ACHOOO." I sneezed not finding it surprising given the amount of time I get soaked these past few weeks."A...ACHOOOO."I sneezed again and the force almost knocked me off my feet, but I was steadied to my feet while a warm brown coat pulled over my shoulder."You might catch a cold walking around without a coat like that." Swiftly I turned taking a step back as I met with an unfamiliar face. Stromy tormented blue orbs peeked through delicate long lashes.The lightest shade of platinum locks and skin like jade reminded me of another blue eyed monster.William Isherwood, that is.As I lingered on the similarity between the
Beautiful but dangerous. As lightening dances through the Kingdom of books, I stare open mouthed from his declaration. Hades' brother?Coming to my senses, I decided to continue the ninja running episode, but I couldn't not before I could point out."The lightning is not helping,""Oh sorry." He sounded sincere as he apologised and the sudden change in his attitude made me curious, persuading me to listen."So you are Zeus?""I mean Lord Zeus." I corrected quickly not wanting to test his temper. And tried to do a courtesy by bowing to look respectful. Waving his hand he smiled in amusement. "It's cool. You can call me Zeus."I nodded, still in the same position."Look, you don't have to do that too." He said indicating me to straighten up."I can't."This confused him making him ask."What?" I laughed without humour. "Its like this, you see I stretched the leg at the back way too far. So if I were to move even an inch, I will fall."Taking note of the position of my legs realizat
Silent readers. VOTE YOU GUYS!! *retains composure* love you!!We finally reached home barely surviving a long list of compliments, kicks, sweet smiles, sucker punches, sarcasm, hugs, blank faces and dodgy answers.The violence kindly contributed by me.It reminded me a lot of how things are when Will and me. The only difference being that we both had a fair share of bad behavior.My brain worked its blood dry working on perfecting the lie I was obligated to tell John and rest about Zeus's presence."That's a beautiful house you got, very fit for its beautiful owner."My blood boiled and steams flew from my ears for the tenth time in the last minute. I change my mind.I am just going to come up with a lie to excuse myself for murdering a God."And it's way younger than you," I pointed out and watched with a suppressed smile as his face fell.Margret, Theresa and John were found in the living watching Netflix. I found my work narrowed with all three present in the same place.But befo
