I disgustedly stared at the body parts lying around in the crimson sea on my once white oak floor, still breathing fast and hard, almost entirely bathed in god blood.Fucking bastards.They surely must’ve reincarnated in Olympus already and ran to Zeus to bitch about me by now.Good.After that stunt they pulled on us, they surely deserved everything that was coming their way.Fooling me like that, just so they could take her away from me...My gaze trailed back to that same spot I lastly saw her, the sound of her frightened call upon my name still ringing in my ears over and over again, making me feel so fucking guilty for not ensuring her safety before anything else.Fucking moron!I angrily drove my fist into the nearest wall, causing a light vibration travelling throughout the entire building, soon leaving a trail of shattered objects and entirely destroyed furniture in my wake as that pure rage kept pulsating inside me like a wildly beating heart until nothing was left to shatter
The blinding light forced my eyelids flutter closed for a few short moments as we stepped outside the stone walls, tiredly pressing my forehead against the gladiator’s armor-clad chest as he carefully carried me cradled in his bulky arms.Oh yay...Respect for the god blood...even though I was being carried towards my impending execution...Numbly raising my sight to look up at him, I noticed how his stoic gaze remained trained ahead throughout the entire walk, intently holding his breath, a small bead of sweat already making its way down the side of his face.Gods...it is already affecting him too...I quickly lowered my head back down, nervously biting my lip, already feeling even more scared than ever, rendering completely still in his arms as I now felt so afraid that this current situation could turn into something far more worse than my sole demise.So when he finally lowered me on the heated sand of the arena, we both exhaled almost in unison, relieved to finally be able to get
Loud gasps followed, the buzzing murmur of whispers quickly filling the very tensed air, harshly silenced just as quick as they started by that same thundering, unmistakable voice,“Silence!”“Selene, what is the meaning of this?” Zeus then asked, my gaze though remaining trained on the abnormally large wolf-like creature still standing right in front of me, everything else seemingly forgotten as I simply stood there, watching how it kept menacingly snarling at the god of Underworld, fully intent on protecting me from anything and anyone.“Rem...” I shakily whispered, taking a step closer, small tears prickling at the corners of my eyes as even though I still couldn’t understand exactly what happened and why did he turn into this beautiful creature, his actions touched me so deeply.“My son, please...stop this,” Our mother’s gentle, pleading tone reached my ears, watching how the large wolf simply ignored her, its attention solely focused on the obvious threat.“Yes, mutt, how about y
My bare feet touched the hard concrete path as we finally descended onto the ground, my gaze landing on the large, modern mansion now standing tall and imposing right in front of our eyes.Taking a glance around, I observed the vast space, entirely covered with freshly trimmed grass and the tall stone walls at each side serving as a fence.“Father, where are we?”“Somewhere close to my undying heart,” He warmly answered, keeping his gaze trained on the giant house right ahead of us as he still gently held me in his arms.Failing to understand those words I turned my attention back to him, but just as I was about to ask he gingerly grabbed my forearm, coaxing me to start walking.“Come on.”Suddenly noticing Rem’s beast form approaching to walk right next to me I reached to caress the side of his muzzle with the tip of my fingers, right before I heard my father say,“I’d advise you to take human form again, if you don’t want to get shot.”His wolf form stared upon me for a sole moment,
Turning her attention towards my father, she took a few calming breaths, tempering herself a little bit as she asked,“How did you find him?”I watched my father let out a loud, tired exhale, right before he answered,“Long story...”Noticing how her reddened eyes finally landed on me, I watched how she wiped the lingering wetness off her cheeks, swallowing a sob as she then calmly asked,“Who’s this?”“Blake, I want you to meet my daughter, Daya.Daya, this is Blake, Archangel Michael’s first and only child.”“Well hi there, cuz,” She casually said, seemingly almost amused as she boldly approached, giving me a warm smile.“Welcome to the club,” She then quickly said and before I could even realize what was happening she had already lunged at me, crushing me in a warm hug.I blinked a few times, failing to react as this form of approach seemed so foreign to me for I have never been hugged by another before -besides Raphael and my brother but only the times when we were children, of co
It wasn’t real...It’s never been real...All those moments we shared, everytime we touched...It was nothing but the Sin’s doing...Nothing but a big, cruel lie...Small tears kept making their way down the sides of my cheeks, mixing with the warm rivulets as I stood completely still under the shower spray, letting all that dried blood and dirt wash away, reminiscing every touch and every kiss...every intimate moment...Now being washed away by the warm water and the cold, bitter thought persisting in my mind, continuously reminding myself that all this time, it’s been nothing but the Sin’s doing. The Sin’s magical, utterly cruel spell.What kind of monster resides within me?What kind of cruel, sadistic monster resides within me?But most of all, why does it even live within me?How?How did it even end up in there?My lightly trembling palm slowly rose, hesitantly placing it right over the middle of my chest as all those questions kept raising inside my mind, feeling that powerful, un
“Azrael! Lower you dagger, NOW!”My father’s booming voice suddenly echoed across the very large hallway, forcing a small flinch escape my body, my eyelids quickly fluttering open just in time to notice the small battle raging in Azrael’s midnight orbs as he intensely gazed upon me, frozen.Quickly snapping my frightened gaze to his right I then noticed the confused and equally shocked looks I was receiving, the walls suddenly seeming to close in on me, threatening to crush me in between, panic starting to flood my entire being.They see you...They now see you as you truly are...Monster...Monster!Various voices kept whispering in my head, my vision quickly turning blurry as tears started to uncontrollably stream down my cheeks, all those horrible deaths at the unmerciful hands of the monster living inside of me once again flashing before my eyes. And without even wasting another moment I forcefully ripped my shoulder from Death’s vice grip and ran as fast as I could, completely ig
Daya Monster...My body suddenly jerked, my eyelids quickly fluttering open as I felt the lack of air inside my lungs, the violent thump inside my chest ringing in my ears like an ominous beat.Rapidly blinking a few times, I then finally made myself aware of my surroundings, ultimately noticing I was back in that same room I lastly changed my clothes in before all those so horrible events...Monster...That same whisper reached my ears, all that warm, sticky blood once again coating my entire body, a shrill scream escaping my lips as I widely watched it leak and drip from my trembling palms all over the bed.“Hey! Hey, Daya calm down! It’s alright, you’re alright,” My brother’s soothing, unmistakable voice reached my ears, feeling his body heat wrap around me like a protective shield as his arms quickly circled around my waist, only now noticing there was no blood anymore. Just the dark colored sheets starkly contrasting the pure white robe covering my still trembling body.Warm riv
