"What do you mean again?" Zadicus asked.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFN8Tsp7uq
I looked back at him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLluegYA2Nl
"When you rescued me that day? I was draining his blood out of my system."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsII1Ad9ZfC
"What is wrong with you!" Zadicus strained against his chains to look at Kaiden.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZIxIzuEjz
Kaiden puffed out smoke from his nostrils his eyes flickering.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d10bEMRk0
"You're always causing problems, I didn't know it'd affect her like that. . . I tried to fix it- we did fix it" Kaiden huffed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKziBH31s2D
"I'll do it, as long as Janus will offer his blood willing"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl4PEbcM6F
Seth eyes suddenly flashed to me looking for orders.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRn1ihrrYu
"It's not like he can hurt us anyway. . ." he scoffed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq67IFxgVs4
I scolded him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhwRU1Cdd
"That's not the point. . . Kaiden?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF9IRCtce0
I looked at him now.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUIXeE1SPK
"Tell me the truth. . . is what he says about you true?" I slowly made my way to him and he straightened himself his dark wings moving slightly causing a gush of wind.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kNIXhUwzY
"It is true, it is why I offered you choices, and Ben choices among others- but as examples that would make sense to you. . . it is why sharing things about your past is also easy for me- it was a transition for you, though had I known your true intentions maybe I would have stopped myself or Ben. . ."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYvClPf44A
I swallowed. That wasn't at all the answer I was expecting. . . though he could be lying to me it did all make sense. . . Kaiden- or Janus whatever I called him now, was cryptic. . . was always big on choosing. . . almost as if it were his true nature. Which I suppose could make sense. Then it dawned on me. . . I remembered the story more now, something important Seth had left out. Janus was also known as the two faced man. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDYZW66r6s
Ben. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuaFN9TxoL
"The two faced God. . ." I whispered my eyes grew wide.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkMoeBzENd
Suddenly my head was throbbing and a hiss of pain slipped through my lips.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2DRHpMJj8
"You alright?" Seth looked at me.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIzTmSw0wZ
I walked back over to Zadicus and yanked out the blade and looked at him in his eyes.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBICnYftI6w
"You better me right about this. . . then I want the real answers, all of them. Every. Single. One."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZilBctzi3p
I snapped and walked over to Kaiden.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbinFYS0oA0
He looked down at me before lowering his head. His head alone was the size of a small suv, if I didn't already know there was no way for him to harm me I would have been terrified. Even now I was still somewhat intimidated. The power that radiated normally off of him when he was still trapped was strong- and now it was like liquid lava in terms of feeling.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZBP3UpYhm
He did as he did the first time as took one of his giant claws and sliced into himself allowing the blood to fall down in big sloppy drops covering the blade. I swallowed as the strong scent overwhelmed me. The memories of it made my mouth water, but also gave me a strange twist in my stomach suddenly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdq1f78xwa
"Janus any advice here?" Zadicus spoke up weakly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2stN2D4ZAn
"Hmm. . . you told me once you only dream memories correct?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE18FQ2ei0v
"Mhm, sometimes of choosing- sometimes they just flow" Zadicus responded trying to keep his head up but you could tell by the light in his eyes fading in and out he was having a hard time staying conscious still.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDis00DyCpR
Serves him right.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfStKYLBHrd
"Try that Luna, really think about the answers you want- what he has told you" Kaiden spoke softly now, he brought his head slowly back up and watched me from above.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZtlvIrVH0
I simply nodded licking the warm liquid off of the cold metal. The combination was almost as euphoric as Jason or Rickey's if I were to be honest. It was strange to say the least. I walked over to the chair and sat down and closed my eyes and thought for a moment. The blood tingled on my tongue almost feeling like it was bubbling as it travelled down my throat.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73NKEBLiMC
Sleeping thankfully had been something I had practiced enough now- controlling them now so much but settling in was easy.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJATLDX00VW
The beginning. . . Ananke, vampires. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWisHYpCXlj
My vision changed and it felt like I was weightless suddenly as I saw what felt like the whole universe in front of me. I could almost touch each star and planet. . . but yet also not at all.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51EWlWhyDF
"Yes, I made you because I was lonely. . . I suppose my mind in ways exploded in a sense. . . and here you are. . . a perfect companion. . ." A voice resounded around me.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQtRcQtys
"It's been a little chaotic in this place you know. . . it's so dark, but so bright sometimes. . . though I suppose an insanity idea from myself would be nothing short of such a thing, oh I'm sorry you should have a name too. . . hmm, how about Ananke?" the voice continued.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKw8Ud3BlA
"And I am Chaos."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRVQweLwnN
"What do we do here? why can't I see you?" a female voice responded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdRo33Hc4r
"Hmm. . . I've been playing with an idea, give me a moment please."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jRxblp7So
There was a flickering off in the distance, a swirl of colors and haze. . . then suddenly a low rumble as a figure approached growing as it walked forward.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjQI0C4txe
Suddenly I was pulled out by a vicious sudden cough as I leaned over the chair suddenly gasping as I continued to cough blood flecking onto the floor.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgztsZfM0m
"Whoa, whoa" I felt arms wrap around me holding me up and I gripped them my vision finally coming back as I looked at Seth's arms.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetDwluCz9t
"Everything oka-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4kgRhrVdL
"I gotta go again" I snapped cutting him off.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH63xiDNK0
Before he could protest my eyes closed again and I sunk myself back into the abyss.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYf0KI8L4E
"I want to create. . . many things, but it's not as enjoyable by myself. So that is why you are here, and you will help me control such things. . . how does that sound?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTefANRK9d3
"Y-yes" the female voice responded hesitantly and then I realized.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6oM1FQMlf
It was my voice. . . though much louder and bigger than normal.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZHGZPS87s
Things suddenly went in fast forward motion and I could now see the Earth being formed. . . the water, the mountains, the land, trees, clouds, everything down to the atom. . . eventually he had created humans. Humans which I especially got to play with. I could ease them to do anything I wanted, or felt they needed. In the beginning there were mistakes. . . some had died regrettably as I learned how to interact with them. Much like the other creatures Chaos had created before. They were less predictable than the others, it was quite fascinating.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntxdNC9Njg
"Ananke. . . you once mentioned to me there were flaws with the humans, yes?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhPBS76U9r
"Yes- I- I understand things happen in stages, just as we had the other things before them I didn't mean to offend-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4sDUdoeus
"I believe you deserve a gift. . ." he interrupted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlfzLpD08P
"I will give you the ability to create you own version. . . play with it as you wish, but please be careful I think we both have learned just how tricky this little water sphere can be dear"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLdCadZ8TI
Nothing felt different as he said such things. I spent some time watching things shift on the little sphere again while I thought about the ways the humans could be changed. Then I realized, what if I could make a smaller version of myself? Of course it would have to be still persuaded somehow. . . a hidden desire maybe? to balance things. There was one thing all of Chaos creations had in common. They all destroyed things, in one way or another, I had begun to understand that is how this so called Earth worked. Humans fought, animals fought even plants in some ways. What if. . . I could put all of those feelings into one being? Instead of in all, so only one would bare? Their purpose would be based off of their craving for blood and violence. . . Yes this would be perfect. No more then. . . just for one. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnPShkUSJ
A name. It needs a name. Chaos gave me a name, he gave all of his things names. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7iTxEp6MX
Ares.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdSyRrVN7W
Yes. That sounds nice.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsN9Pz6fXB
As I watched closely at the Earth just as many rotations ago the figure started taking shape. He was perfect, the best parts of humans in looks. After all he didn't have to be bad on the outside. He did just as I had whispered. . . He brought wars, blood, death he did it all. Many followed to my disappointment, but Chaos always told me that things take time. Though time felt so irrelevant here compared to down there. I took some of that so called time to think about how to make it work, or how to make another change or phase. Thankfully Chaos's special sphere was still spinning, still filled with life, even though they were attacking each other in some ways even more now.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iwlog1yZM
"I don't understand, why are they so difficult? They do as I whisper- as I think and hope sometimes, but other times they surprise me" I called out to Chaos suddenly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5xrLEp9VJ
"It takes practice and time. . . I warned you it would not be easy. It took me a very long while to come up with you after all. You kept me creating after that if you recall, you've done a lot of things already if you think about it" he responded his shadowy figure suddenly presenting himself again.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeuhfKpeHm
"I won't let you down I will fix this. . ."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DS9hQfvLP
"You could never let me down. In fact you amaze me more each thing you do" he responded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VMuEGY1VI
It went silent after that as his presence faded. I watched as Ares continued his path of destruction. If I could just go down there. . . create more. . . one by one making them better perhaps. . . then it would work.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMr7cWyrCD
That's it. That's what I shall do.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V49IZEeiJ
I whispered my exciting plan to Ares, he would have to help. After all it all started with us, our adventure. Many children died as they were born, it would be as easy as ever to create myself a soul and put myself down there. A simple thought is all it would take. . . Together. Together we could fix it all and Chaos would see just how perfect it all could be.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBBeRrsYOF
My eyes opened and the light made me squint suddenly and I blinked a few times.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9IFObdOaS
"Luna? it's been a few hours everything okay?" Seth's voice filled my ears and I smiled as I looked at Janus's smolder eyes that were watching me intently.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoSS50oyUz
"Janus. . . You, you inspired me to work so closely with them. . ." I whispered.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO23fbAyiVA
"Luna?" Seth called out again his voice growing worried and I turned to face him as I got up. He was still beside Zadicus, though now on the floor.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDhwvMLBCY
"I remember everything. . ." I simply responded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf6EhaNy3d
"You. . . you told Chaos to make me didn't you?" Janus's voice came out as a slow growl.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVmd31sAKH
"I did, this form more so- I always wanted him to create something better- stronger perfect." I admitted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5uiJG4Ssu
I looked at Ares now who's reddened eyes looked at me begging.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ2WH1IFHf
"There are things I must take care of, but I will leave you here to think about what you have done for now." I touched his cheek and he dropped his head as soon as my touch left him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8DSbLYJ1X
Seth just kept watching me clearly confused. Though there hadn't been any sense of fear in the air I was slightly thankful for that.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoBQxsU9fr
"We should go up to the others. . ." I said softly and he nodded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI8MjleqWC
As we exited the room and made our way to the elevator Seth grabbed my arm.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxEkvWIpA
"Do you mind filling me in on the plan here? I just sat there and played operation on the guy for hours because you wouldn't wake up. I almost had to get someone, Rickey blew up my fucking phone" his eyes were still like black ink his anger suddenly radiating off of him like heat as he ranted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3fMcsCekF
"You're giving me that look again like you're wanting to touch me, if you want to fuck just ask." He changed the subject moving closer.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IKXV9bJ7
I reached out and put my hand on his cheek rubbing it softly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSZ9CH26WC
"You know. . . it hurts me a great deal to see Jarred without a soul. . . even if you are just a mirror"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W9qpWA2aQ
He blinked.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2avyoIVFjU
"Are you implying. . . that Zadicus was right?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDNgTdSBgO
"Mmm, Ares wasn't lying, now lets go."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltwhWAo6Jy
I pulled his hand off me and moved into the elevator as he quickly followed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDssZgMKkEG
We sat down at the table in the meeting room- all guards included sat around the table some against the wall. Everyone's eyes were on me.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlZ8DcflZk
"So what did you find out once he cracked?" Jarred spoke first.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kYyof5d7u
"Sort of. . . not the answers you were looking for just yet, but I have perhaps found a solution. . ." I trailed off unsure of how to start.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4IoKJTtNZ
My brain was still melding together. It all made sense now. . . the differences and all.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrRfn8WgMT
"What the Hell is that supposed to mean?" he snapped.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK80YhzImji
"Ares. . ." I cleared my throat.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcbqXg30pA
"Zadicus wasn't lying. . . I had forgotten some things. . . big things"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNtLrJ0MIK
"So what? You created all the humans and us now? I use us loosely of course, that doesn't make sense though from what I knew Chaos created her- he made all things, what the Hell happened down there Seth did you let him brainwash her instead?" Jarred's voice grew agitated the more he spoke.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMDTcoHll
"I did no such thing, how dare you, she meditated sort of things- when she woke up she said she knew things" Seth spoke up and he clenched his teeth letting out a low growl as he glared at Jarred.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl3IXnvEpE
Luna are you sure you can talk about this right now?
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5M6I6Wn5x
I heard Rickey whisper into my thoughts.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakOUzQBR3W
Do you not believe me either?
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM42NVUaRu
I swallowed as I responded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCo7wO6wDJ
I do, Love. I just don't want you to do so much so quickly. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQRDjauuzA
"Fine. . . say this is all true-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNYHTjWL4J
"Jarred I saw it. Ares never spoke after telling me how to meditate. Janus didn't either." I cut him off and he pressed his lips together.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpQ8vTe69D
"Okay. . ."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rIimWg9kN
"The stories you know are somewhat right- like all stories, truths are bent, some things are misunderstood. . . Chaos saw how much joy it brought me to watch him build your Earth, everything's existence. . . many times I would give him ideas- create what I wanted. He had unlimited clay if you want to call it that, and then he would tell me things took time to create 'right' " I paused.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJIERn0qdF
"So he gifted upon me what you know as Phane's ability- who for the record is indeed a myth. As I watched the humans grow and evolve I noticed there was the same problem as always. . . they were also still so fragile. . . their lives so short, just many things wrong- so I thought"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1BvFr8xb7
The words now started to almost come out like they weren't my own. A side affect I could only assume. I had become extremely human in my time on this Earth that much was certain now. . . perhaps more human than Godess even.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8z5WiAtta
"So Z- Ares was first wasn't he?" Matthew spoke rather quietly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI3KXgxqhJ
"He was. . . I watched him bring war and death for many years. . . I whispered to him as I did Chaos to fix things. . . after all he was supposed to carry the burden of anger, and like all things over time I hoped that it would be extinguished as he created more of himself. . . however he didn't"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt15WZ8tiAf
Flashes of the memories clouded my vision and I rubbed my temple and I felt Rickey grab my other hand holding it tightly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y9VCuutTU
"Then I realized. . . Chaos and I always watched things play out, but we never truly interfered- sure I whispered ideas, suggested and such, but that took time. . . a hands on approach would be better"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIM2DbC3Et
I started to whisper suddenly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkDeAELRWP
"I whispered my exciting plan to Ares, he would have to help. After all it all started with us, our adventure. Many children died as they were born, it would be as easy as ever to create myself a soul and put myself down there. A simple thought is all it would take. . . Together. Together we could fix it all and Chaos would see just how perfect it all could be."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHkkfmKSCw
"You told him he couldn't let the truth be known. . . knowing things were so unpredictable down here you didn't want to risk your plan if something went wrong with your transition. . ." Alexander finally spoke.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3VBJUPEJj
As I looked at him I could see the gears turning his head as he started to put the puzzle together.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCQ8MWMco9
"So then why did you change the plan when you came down here?" Jarred asked and I looked over to him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVztdL8rjt
"Well. . . it took some time for me to truly meld with this body, when she died of course I fixed some things on the inside. . . so change and forgot are very different things to inhabit the body it took a lot of time, which is why I can't really remember anything, until I found myself a new focus"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sjU6cadNc
I felt a smile tug at my lips.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqyt5E38X8
"I remember your parents going around town looking for answers. . . I was young, but they came to our house once, they tried to give you away. . ." I looked over at Jarred who now seemed empty as he sorted through his old memories.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e9iYrgc71
"Jason was very curious of course and he-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqb7PQx2Ix
He suddenly looked me in the eyes and I swallowed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgCRPQ9JLU
"It was like he saw through it all. . . he wasn't looking at the soul I was erasing. . . he was looking at me."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAsSsmILuo
I admitted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ormgiXaR
His eyes suddenly sparkled and he smiled relaxing his shoulders back now.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hRPBzFZJc
"We are quite unpredictable aren't we? When you came down you got to experience it all first hand"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCYuRN683O
"Jarred-" Alexander started but was quickly stopped by Jarred lifting his hand.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwGoe9psH
"I'm not upset with her, I think we can all agree on one thing leaving this meeting. . ." Jarred started as he straightened his shoulders looking around the room.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi68IQzq0m
"Luna- Ananke whatever you wish to call her, has cared about us all so much even she made herself into a being just to fix what she felt she failed with. . . Luna has always cared-in both of her lives."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrFoRiEBpz
Everyone nodded in agreeance.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL191pyPv9
"All in favor of keeping this under our roof only?" Rickey shifted in his seat.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJWFiBfFeS
His voice sounded so strict. It was close to the voice he's use in the bedroom and I could feel my cheeks flush at the thought. Right now was the time to be thinking about that though. It really wasn't. He was however making Jason very proud I was sure.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwh9EWKoWU
Everyone said yes in unison.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK8WwCdL8R
"Does this mean the plan has changed?" Seth cleared his throat.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBrDBreBxf
"Somewhat. . . possible I could make him kill anyone who fights again the idea of Rickey and I, but I'm not sure if I like that idea so that will stay the same, as for Jason I will have to be very careful of my next few steps. . . First I think Ares and I need a break for tonight though- at least I do. . . absorbing such memories takes a lot. . ."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM6buy4j3H
"Can you fix him?" Jarred cut in.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMxKI4WlAP
"Of course I can, and I will" I removed my hand for Rickey's for a moment and reached over to grab Jarred's hands.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfel6ZYAzj
"I understand your lack of patience. . . I hate being without him too, but I need to be very careful with this" I reminded him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn6oB5ifeg
I watched his eyes for any sense of doubt. He believed me, but I could still see the hurt in them.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkFuU3CoLJ
"Think about it Jarred. . . if she rushes before she knows the right way- or she's too weak we don't know what could happen to him" Rickey added.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88AgKmW4nZ
"You're right. . . Does this now mean that asshole skips punishment?" Jarred sighed pulling his hands away.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y1ZSmPzhe
A few people glanced at me for a moment then looked back down and I shook my head.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJrrFa9cOC
"Of course not, Ares was to an extent doing what I asked of him- but what he did to your brother was completely out of line. Believe me he will understand that by the time we're done, in fact in some ways he seems upset- but more of in a sad manner-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyAOGQIZq5
"He was disappointed in his failure." Seth spoke up interjecting.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGpPaFdmZy
"Did he say something to you?" I questioned him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncajX1sm3l
"He said he was wrong" he shrugged.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoVYC7QTcC
"Considering I wasn't even torturing him during that moment I would say it might even be genuine, he was under the impression you were replacing Jason."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ANo9q7mL
Jarred scoffed beside Seth shaking his head.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8XfhKHnLA
"I'll agree for the day to let you both rest, I'll go down after next- does that sound fair and okay with you?" Jarred nodded his head towards Rickey and I and I nodded and looked at everyone.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9N1T8e6Co
"I understand this is a lot more literal than any of us had thought. . . it's going to take some time to understand- or whatever, I do not want things to change please understand that, but I must be honest with you all so unfortunately this is the only way"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezZoLcoy00
"You were our Godess anyway" Joshua shrugged giving me a smile and some others laughed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XAO505JAe
"If we're dismissed then I believe we all should have some dinner upstairs boys- Alexander we'll meet you up there?" Joshua started getting up looking over at Alexander and nodded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUzyE1r2Sa
"You know what they say boss- last one up pays the bill" Matthew grinned over at Alexander who laughed in response.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHGGemUrkp
"Well, considering I'm the reason why you have money at all anyway, I guess I always do, but alright" Alexander rummaged through his pockets and tossed him his wallet and waved him off.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMoAxUqF77
Jarred rolled his eyes and looked over at Alexander.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPr2NDKbRB
"How are you doing bud? you've been pretty quiet."

"Maybe Alexander is a little intimidated of such a Being suddenly" Seth grinned.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80UfaNINKq
It seemed Seth could almost be just as bad as Ares when it came to trouble. It was quite odd, but none the less in ways amusing. At least I knew he could be trusted, unlike not too long ago how I felt about Ares.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8oTaLlGqP
"No, I knew long ago she was stronger than me- it's just odd being that I was told lies from him. . . Not surprising perhaps. She had no idea, he said he didn't know- which he doesn't really I suppose explaining what she said" Alexander shook his head.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC1bFyxsb6
"But I also understand why he either couldn't or shouldn't, Luna could you shed some light on that for me? Sorry Ananke?" Alexander shifted his gaze to me and I gave him a small smile.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2t5ZkRM7F
"You can still call me Luna- and yes and no, I told him he needed to do what was necessary for our plan, but I believe that when he realized I wasn't as. . . aware of my Being, and that somehow I failed with my reincarnation." I frowned as I admitted my failure, then I cleared my throat shaking it off.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Z6b3Wvfj
"So much time went on after Jason- I think he gave up to an extent, after all I had to remember myself, who would have believed him anyway? At the point you started writing especially."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP17NIB569
Alexander nodded in agreeance.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2reAwz5gBw
"I know you all are probably thinking I somewhat want you to forgive him. . . or show him some mercy, however I did create him to be just as he has acted. I wanted him to harbor such anger, such greed for violence- and even blood itself after all"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfRE5TxRa8
"And you call me a Devil" Seth chuckled looking at Jarred.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqDMDOfm8z
"Seth." Rickey said sternly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡday0ieYAfh
"What about Kaiden?" Alexander tried to change the subject.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOTYy4mdLY
"Janus. . . is very complicated to explain. . . as you can understand by just knowing about me- what I did, somewhat do now-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoeJ49uY6e
"If you can persuade people then why not just make him tell you?" Seth interuptted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lHD22y0IV
"Mmm, see that is where things got a little troublesome in my transition. . . I know you felt what I did downstairs- I do apologize by the way, that I can do however. . . speaking it is harder, if that were the case you and I wouldn't have had are meeting would we?" I raised a brow to him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJhkzaeQmN
He pressed his lips together for a moment then nodded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzrgDWPa7
"I would tell people what to do- heavily lead them in a direction, Janus however offers them choice, helps ease them in difficult times"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6NQBR5t2p
I took a sip from my glass and set it down on the table.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKn1KcbfGu
"I see. . . I presume it would be better to leave him to you then?" Alexander questioned and I nodded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sogBmaflj
"That's all I need to know- we will figure out more details as we go this week, but first everyone needs a break from it."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJOOWKmstM
Alexander started gathering his things as everyone else got up and headed for the door.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIea6LhshH
"Love can we go to the kitchen?" Rickey's voice softly came from behind me.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrqn3dW8Tp
I felt a strike of guilt hit me suddenly. I forgot that Rickey needed food and blood unlike I really did- I drank for pleasure more than anything. I really needed to make sure there were times for such things for him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJd3512BG
"Of course, sorry. . . I'm sure you're starved-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaacAZqXMcX
"I can have someone make food for you Rickey- or if you want we can order you food too?" Alexander offered.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eCQkZiIXO
"Sure, but I'll make a snack in the mean time- thanks"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgMKiDmsIx
There was a slight breeze and I turned around to notice Jarred and Alexander had left, but Seth was still here as we walked into the kitchen.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYucRNkL4Y
"You that hungry too? Not like you to lurk around after a job like that" Rickey commented as he started opening cabinets.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFNY6zKMd
"I'm never not, but uh no- Luna can I steal you for a moment?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgvZep0BBI
I nodded sitting on one of the stools.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAsP53gUXx
"Babe, please help me out here, there's so many damn cabinets" Rickey grumbled.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLIfNhmcn
I giggled and shook my head.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x4Izjtzvd
"Pantry is what I think you're looking for, it's the door to your left"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyw6zSRd3g
Rickey quickly made his way into the pantry where he swore a few more times to himself and I shook my head.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XPnGvR6PD
"Could we talk somewhere more private?" Seth asked.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotJYPvzk00
I looked over to him. His eyes were still almost completely black, he was covered in all sorts of different negative energy right now. I hadn't understood what Jarred and everyone meant about how he was after, but now I could see, smell and hear it all. I could read it all over him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Amz8XPRY
"Of course."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfW36xXdGf
I got up and motioned him to follow me out the patio doors. He quickly followed and shut the door behind him as he followed me to the bench. I sat down patting the spot next to me as I took a breath of fresh air.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dLZgOlXm
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked as he sat down.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJrGcNzucE
"You said something earlier. . ." he started slowly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmRt03jIl
"Mhm, I said many things Seth." I raised my brow.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbgzxP5bjy
"Oh, you mean about your looks?" I corrected myself.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs26udTfALa
"Something like that- is that why you look like you want to always check if I'm real?" he chuckled.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JBwOfuReH
I bit my lip. I really did almost always want to reach out and touch him each time I saw him. It was so odd how close they were, if it weren't for the missing soul they could be even perhaps through and through the same.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZZKGhG0XM
"You know plenty of people want to sleep with their-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUN14OsY1I
My cheeks flushed and I shook my head quickly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MlpGQn0Vk
"No, no it's just. . . you two are truly so close, it's fascinating- I can tell in your cores you are different at times, for instance your eyes are still dark so you're still feeding on the scene that we had downstairs aren't you?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHLAqempHh
He gave me a sly grin.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HG33DsvGA
"Something like that. . . I promise Jarred I would stay with him the next day or two, with Jeff being here it's a little hard to get my release I usually go after."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEY8zkPGMx
He admitted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkXSfYaFuU
"That's not what I wanted to talk to you about. . ."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N0ctUDXuK
"Oh? Then ask away."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfN1IyZUBK
"It's not asking, I just didn't think it was the best time- or perhaps place to tell you I think he has been cracked Luna. . . I think he's- I know he's given up."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviuCCXAPRY
His eyes locked onto mine now as if he were making sure I would tell nothing but the truth.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mH9x2G4I
"What did you tell him to do when or if your plan started to fail?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXzV0DhL7F
"You are good at your job aren't you Seth?" I grinned, but he stayed with a poker face as he watched me not saying a word.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNUNZbS5XI
"Do you suddenly not trust me now? Is that what this is about?" I questioned him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLeedYYzv
"No I do. I just want to know is all."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOJOuqCXce
He shrugged.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7veMIe6wP
"I told him he'd have to let the natural way guide us"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4kzUHtGbs
"Aren't you normally that force though?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZMCclxHmo
I nodded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBagPDxRbs
"See that is why it's so difficult to explain to others. . . It's why I made Ares keep my true self a secret, the plan was to come down, fix and come back."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7FDPRI210
"Is that why you told humans- or beings whatever you existed? Chaos too and everything?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirLFwR1gtH
"Mhm, besides you all seem to. . . sometimes have a need to place blame on others or things that are out of your control to feel better."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iR5MvGiI
"So then. . . what do you blame?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tXkeJHv0k
His eyes were smoldering into mine now as I gritted my teeth. He lacked a soul which is why he could push so much harder than most. Perhaps even farther than even I. I could have been angry right now, but I would be honest I was quite impressed. If anything Seth was close to the image of what I wanted the perfect being to be to balance out the other.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWvEYlJBQW
"Myself." I sighed looking up at the sky breaking his look.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5FWbdso0f
"Of course, I had no way of knowing how things would go- everything down here is so unpredictable. . . I know that now, maybe things would have balanced out- more like you would exist, maybe I would have caused the world to burn by not stepping in when I did" I shrugged.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmhQ6qlHD2
"Do you think Chaos is upset you didn't come back?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTodKU9SFX4
I closed my eyes still looking up at the stars.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1848JH1Era
"Maybe, hard to say- Chaos always was making, when I had decided to do what I did he seemed to be less interested in my company by that time anyway"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBw9Li3no
"Well, I should go back inside- check on Jarred."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuVSHrtlbu
He said as I kept my eyes closed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjej9TQtiWn
"Noapte bună, Diavol înalt" I smiled.
(Goodnight, tall Devil)
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJZ18b42B
He chuckled.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBab3z5ruV
"Noapte bună, Zeiță."
(Goodnight, Godess)
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHH4rxvGCI
I heard the door open and close and I kept my eyes closed feeling the slight breeze.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMxpnsDOob
I couldn't believe I had forgotten. . . Everything. Poor Ares, I was so confident in my plan working- silly me, too blind to understand. . . As much as I hated feeling guilt for the one who murdered one of the loves of my life, it was impossible not to. After all, I was the very reason he existed and the reason he even risked his own life for my plan to go into motion after so many years. He may have lied to me at times about our existence, but that was only because I made him. Unfortunately most of the hatred I had grown towards him were do to actions I gave him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYJO4ZyVoD
"Love, what are you thinking about?" Rickey's voice suddenly snapped me out of my thoughts and I opened my eyes to see him standing in front of me.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrYALPDkIb
"So many things. . ." I whispered.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F0dZf78lA
"Are you. . . adjusting well?" he asked stepping closer.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuiYkL5E5h
I let out a small laugh.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NrZTvo9VB
"I should be asking you that no?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Duco2Saf
"Well. . . I have a confession, I didn't have a- I guess as strong of reaction as everyone else because we uh, we shared that memory"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPoVD2w6Ei
My eyes widened and I got up taking his hands into mine giving them a light squeeze before putting my hand over his chest then his forehead.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnrhk3Arh8
"Are you okay? how do you feel-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZaiJDLya
"Luna, Love relax, I'm fine it's okay- I mean it was a lot especially the feeling I will admit, but I'm okay" he smiled cupping my face with his hands and placing a kiss on my forehead.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CUKXpveWj
"Or would you prefer Ananke?" he asked softly and I melted practically as I smiled leaning into his touch. He seemed so un-phased by it all and I was very thankful for that.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vRaxGevux
"Either is fine, I'm glad you're alright though, I'm so sorry. . . "
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7BboKRo25
He shook his head.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI6pFURBxw
"No, honestly. . . it was amazing, I went to check in and see how things were after some time had passed you know? And suddenly I was thrown into it all"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA27qBKg1zp
His eyes sparkled as he talked about the memory and I could feel the excitement radiating off of him and it made me smile more. He looked down at me slightly tilting my head up.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCjV2VwiDd
"Just explains why you're so damn perfect, so unreal in how we are together sometimes" his lips brushed against mine.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8fOENb2I
I giggled and gave him a small kiss.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOP3mKID8x
"I think that's just the bond"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPziAU2IkLt
His hand moved to my waist pulling me tight against him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtJSnifWDC
"I don't care what it is, I love you and god- ess I love the way it makes me feel when I'm with you, nothing is better than this- and trust me I've done a lot of things to get a euphoric feeling"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMb3mRfFCH
He smiled down at me his eyes were a mixture of dark red and small inky droplets covering his one blue orbs.
.
"You've been such a romantic lately, should I be worried?" I smiled.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuq2zgPyqK
He gave me a small frown as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwVrqSgI6M
"No. . . I'm just trying, because truth be told, I know how Jason was with you- I uh don't exactly know if I can perform in the bedroom like he did, but I think I can be a little better outside of it- besides I love you more than just the sex we have you know that."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJ8KmZByS
My heart ached at the sadness I could feel coming off of him suddenly. I would never ask him to change. I loved him for him, but I couldn't help but admire how he wanted to try and give me everything. Try to help ease all the parts of my life that had suddenly disappeared. That in and of itself showed his growth. . .
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hDhR7QnC
"Rickey I love you just the way you are. . ." I touched his cheek pausing for a moment.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAXZXRlF5C
"You're even willing to push your own comforts- or habits to the side to make me feel better"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqlrDgkfi6
He smiled now as he rubbed my cheek with his thumb.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwzioiWDUY
"I have something for you actually"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQ6VLVBam
"Oh?" I raised my brow at him judging by the hardness I felt against me I had a feeling it was something sexual. Not that I was complaining. Instead he reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo0WuvlR2D
"I don't deserve all the credit though. . . I uh, Erin gave me the idea- I just put it together"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf8HQcIImG
I took it in my hand and looked at the small silver chain and let my eyes wander to the vial that hung from it.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt0y8MEmtl
"Is this. . ."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbLrpTaegJ
"Before you freak out- I used some left over from one of your glasses, you're out here every day. . . before that you were down there everyday. So I thought maybe if you could keep a part of him with you-"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSLfhnON0n
I couldn't help but bring his lips to mine as they crashed together. I loved this man, so very much. His tongue quickly invaded my mouth as I heard the small jingle of the chain as he moved it in his hand and used his other hand to grab at my waist. My hand tangled itself in his soft hair giving it light pulls as are tongues moved against each other. He pulled away with a slight pant and I opened my eyes as saw his boring into mine. I felt his arms move around me and the suddenly cold chill of the chain laying around my neck hearing the click.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqarquQUxM
"Thank you. . ." I reached up touching the vial against my chest.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqRUq0N6z6
"She uh, she mentioned it could be rough when you eventually ran out. . . thought maybe this could help ease that" he gave me a small smile and I looked at his now swollen lips again and smiled.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ohpsYe3u
"Can I ask you something?" he bit his lip for a moment.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2YRuYeG3n
"Anything, I'm sure you have a lot of things to ask me"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngK4fNEs8s
"Just one. . . at least for now" he admitted.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6rEea4nH
"Where. . . where is Jason now?"
