I was in the theater.Watching the large screen before.A screen so large it nearly took up my whole sight.I watched closely as the woman began to grow... uncomfortable.She was trying to play it cool... but I could see the arising panic and complete confusion in her eyes.I seen as her throat muscles began to tighten... as her hand reached up and grabbed at it.I could see her mouth moving... but I couldn't make out a sound.All I could do was watch.Frozen.Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion... but it was 3-D and I felt like I was right there.As if I was with the woman in the movie.The woman who looked so familiar... yet I didn't know her.Right before my eyes, I watched as she dropped to the floor, both hands now wrapped around her throat and her eyes wide and watery and her face which had went from an intense red to a purplish-blue.I felt my own chest tighten painfully and it suddenly felt as if all the air in the room had disappeared as the woman suddenly stopp
~Salem's P.O.V~"I should be there." Crimson mumbled nervously as her fingers played with her like they always did when she was stressed and full of anxiety."Just try to take a breath, Crim. I'm sure it won't be much longer. I'm sure Mila and Damien could have done it alone; Beau and Lucien are already an extra back up they don't even need. As for you and me, let's focus on being positive and calm so that we can be supportive for when she comes back. Let's face it, as sides from Beau, you and I are her best comfort options. She won't want to talk to Lucien or Damien and no offense, probably not you either, Lee, baby." I reply thoughtfully."I think your underestimating our relationship. I am more than able to be just as supportive as either of you." my sweet lover hisses back completely offended making both me and Crimson chuckle as we both knew different."I suppose your right Salem. I'll just do my best to wait patiently and have my arms open and ready for the second she gets into
~Mila's P.O.V~"Welcome to the deepest depths of the Underworld." The Goddess tells me."If I'm in Tartarus... then what are you doing here? You most definitely don't look like someone who belongs here." I reply and she smirks."Neither do you, yet here we both are." she states making me frown."Tell me, Mila. Do you really think it's a coincidence?" she questions me, and my eyes nearly pop out of my head."How do you know my name?" I ask completely shocked and confused."I'm queen of all gods and goddess... that includes all their descendants as well as their gifted. I've known about you since the time you were born... and again when you died. I mean you were and still are the most talked about in all of Olympus right now, for numerous reasons." she explains to me."Not to mention the fact that my husband has such an intense obsession with you that it has resulted in me, here." she finishes displeased."Your... Hera. Goddess of Marriage... wife of Zeus... oh god..." I mumble out as e
~Mila's P.O.V~I knew too much time had passed from the moment I began to feel my heat begin to set in... I knew things really weren't looking good for me when it only continued to worsen, but it wasn't until I was doubled over in extra pain and beginning to hallucinate that I knew I had to try to do something before I completely lost myself to the madness it was causing me both mentally and physically."H-h-hera." I struggled to call out."Yes?" her voice from close by replies."I think we have both waited here long enough... I don't think anyone's coming... and if they are... looks like it may take a bit..." I begin to say."Perhaps your right..." she replies distastefully."I think... we should... get out... together." I tell her making her chuckle slightly."In your condition? I don't see us getting far..." she mutters, and I let out a small sigh."Maybe... but I would rather give everything I have trying then continuing to waste away here... and it's not like we can die.

~Lucien's P.O.V~With every moment, I was growing more and more frustrated. The stress, anger and worry that was a never-ending wave crashing throughout my body was beginning to drive me mad. I knew how important it was to remain calm, cool and collected, it was the only way to ensure I was thinking clearly but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get to that state anymore. My personal feelings for Mila were just too strong for the perfectly trained mind of the guardian in me. I could only rely on my senses and Beau's mind to help with my rationality."Where could she be? I don't understand." I growl out in frustration as I slam my fist into the hard wall next to me."We have checked almost every inch of the Underworld... we know she isn't with Hades, and we know she isn't in any of his prisons or torture chambers... it only leaves one place." Beau replies coolly but I shake my head."That doesn't make sense! Why would he send her to Tartarus? That completely goes against anyth
I was definitely losing my mind.We had finally arrived to where we needed to be and were currently waiting for Mr. Ferryman to arrive.My vision was so blurred I wasn't sure I was seeing anything clearly, so when the dark large shadow of a man on a boat came near, I thought to myself that this was it.The moment we had been waiting for.Until I seen not one... but two familiar faces.Like a bucket of cold water being poured ontop of me... I instantly realized I was truly losing my mind."That was easy." Damien's familiar voice was speaking."Extremely..." Levi's voice replied.My imagination was so vivid... it was hard for me to focus on the fact that it wasn't real.Every inch of me wanted to run and drop into their arms... but I did my best to try and keep myself rational."Aphrodite..." my dry voice cracks as I try to get the Goddess of love's attention."It's going to be okay, Mila. Even in the depths of Tartarus, your love prevails." she tells me, making me scrunch my eyebrows i
After being bombarded with hugs, kisses and covered in tears of relief and happiness, myself and the rest of the group successfully left the Underworld without any further issues.Deciding it was best that myself, Hera and Aphrodite all stayed together until we took care of Zeus, Hera was kind enough to invite us all back to a hidden safe house where she believed we would all be safe and unfound by Zeus.The safe house as I had come to learn was more like a mini palace and apparently was completely covered with a cloak that kept us hidden from anyone else, all gods included. Hera wouldn't say who had helped her create such a large piece, but she assured us we had no reason to worry.Although extremely reluctant to let me go, I managed to convince Lucien that some time with Salem and Levi would be best for me to help get over the heat I had been dealing with for much too long. I knew most of the others were a bit bothered that I hadn't chosen one of them to help me first but the fact o
"Alright, Luce, I'm all yours." I announce as I walk into Lucien's bedroom.I had finished up my time with Salem and Levi and after a small nap and shower, I was finally back in Lucien's presence which is where I knew I needed to be most for both of our sakes... but more importantly, his."Unfortunately, not quite yet." his clearly displeased tone responds.Standing up from the bed, he steps towards me and pulls me into a tight embrace before quickly letting me go."Crimson needs to talk to you about something important and as much as I want her to have to wait, I do have to agree with her that the topic is important and it is for that reason only that I am going to sit back down and wait another hour... an hour and a half at most for you to go and hear what she has to say but after that come hell or high water your mine for a full, undisturbed, 24 hours. You got that?" he tells me, and I nod my head before leaning up to pull him into a deep kiss."I love you, Luce and I'm going to sh
Today marked 375 years since the day I died and started my new adventurous life. You would think after this many years, I would feel tired, bored, stuck, but no. Never aging and having an endless amount of time has felt nothing less than amazing. Even after this many years, I still feel like I haven't had enough time in the world to enjoy my 6 amazing lovers, but thankfully I don't have to worry about running out.375 years has brought me many memories and experiences and I've been on more journeys then I can count, but I feel it's just helped prepare me for this very moment."Mila, darling... are you still with me?" Hera's voice rings through the air, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes, sorry... this is a big moment for me." I murmur softly and she smiles."What is it I can help you with, darling? Don't be shy, you know after all you did to help me and support me through the war and even after as I settled into my new role as Ruler of all us gods and godesses that I will help you h
We all stood in a large circle with Crimson in the middle with a small table which only held a small bowl and a small uniquely designed dagger. One by one, starting with herself, Crimson sliced the hands of each of my lovers and I stood and watched as their blood dripped into the bowl. As Damian finished, Crimson stirred their blood around in the bowl with the dagger, chanting as she went. She proceeded to soak the blade in their now mixed blood before she stepped towards me with the bowl in her hand."I'm sorry, Kitten... but this is going to hurt." she tells me softly as I feel strong hands wrap around me from behind.Just as I recognize Damian's embrace, Crimson quickly but steadily plunges the dagger straight into my heart. Immediate pain radiates throughout my body before a burning sensation quickly replaces it and everything goes black.********************************************************************A soft melody flows through the warm air and as my eyes adjust to the brig
"Okay, Princess, what's on your mind?" Beau questioned, pulling me from my dazed state."Who said anything was on my mind?" I retorted playfully."Well, staring at the same tree for about 5 minutes is a dead give away." he replied as he sat down on the grass next to me."You've been watching me for 5 minutes? That's a bit creepy, Beau." I joke giving his arm a playfully punch and he simply shrugs his shoulders."You looked so beautiful even in your dazed state, plus I wanted to see how long it would take for you to notice I was there, but you were taking too long." he replies, and I blush."So, what's bugging you?" he asks, and I let out a small sigh."You ever get tired of making big decisions?" I ask and he chuckles softly."I think we all do after a certain point." he replies, and I nod my head."I'm conflicted about the bonding ritual Crimson wants to do with you all." I tell him truthfully."Well, maybe if you explain to me how you feel about it and what your conflicted about, I
When I arrived in Lucien's room, I made sure this time to not even give him an opportunity to say a word. If something else had suddenly popped up, it was going to wait as far as I was concerned.Straddling his lap, I quickly removed his shirt before smashing my lips against his and kissing him deeply.My hands roamed his muscular- toned chest as his hands laced themselves into my hair, holding me close as his tongue left his warm mouth and entered mine.As his mouth explored mine, I trailed my hands down to his jeans and began unbuttoning and unzipping them.Giving him one last kiss, I pulled away and climbed off his lap and he quickly followed suit and removed the last of his clothing before reaching out and helping me out of mine, leaving wet kisses all over my body as he did so.Before he could try and indulge himself though, I pulled him back up towards me before pushing him back down towards the bed.I got on my knees in front of his legs and ran my hands up his firm thighs befo
