There'll be oceans for us to tread, There'll be bridges for us to mend,But I'll stick to it,I swear.---------------------------------------BLAIR Mikael and I stared at each other, the tension in the air crackling. His question had caught me utterly unawares. I couldn't fathom how he'd discovered that killing myself had become the only way to escape the misery I felt, each time I lost the love of my life.Upset, he slammed his palm against the wall."Damnit, Athena! That wasn't supposed to become a part of you!" He exclaimed and I lowered my gaze."I couldn't bear it" I said, my gaze fixed on the ground."I couldn't bear the pain of losing you. I just couldn't do it, Altan" I croaked. I felt him approach me and lift my chin, tilting my head backwards a little. Our gazes met and I saw the mind numbing pain in his eyes."Altan-""Sh!" He whispered, brushing my hair out of my eyes. "If losing me caused you so much pain, I suggest you stayed away from me, because you might lose
The Underworld,Seven Centuries Ago, "Are you sure you know where we going? It feels like we're heading towards Poseidon's territory" Altan said to Athena who was all smiles."We just have to be quiet. What's the worst thing that can happen?" She chirped. "Oh, I don't know? We can actually get caught"Athena held a hand to her mouth to stifle a chuckle. "Come on, Altan. You're always telling me to loosen up. Why are you so uptight about this?" She said and he sighed. "I'm just being careful. I don't care if I get caught, but I'm worried that you might get caught""Awwn. Why are you so cute?" Athena cooed and he playfully rolled his eyes. "Come on, just a little more" she added and he sighed. "I can't believe we're doing this" She shrugged. "We need to find it together. It will certainly make our love and bond stronger" she said and he snorted. He knew she was a sucker for things like that. "Whatever you say, miss" "Altan! Get over here! I've found it!" She whispered
LORENZO Multicolored lights illuminated the bar I'd walked into, three hours ago. Music played in the background and I zoned out on my stool. I stared at my glass of vodka for a moment. Then, I picked it up and downed it's content. Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair. After leaving Mikael's home, there was one question on my mind. A question that I couldn't get the answer to. I'd stayed up last night, trying to figure out why Hera had chosen to get me reincarnated in this life time. Don't get me wrong, I want to live. But, what if the reason I was reincarnated, is to stop Mikael from being free from the curse? What if I was supposed to become Hera's secret weapon? These thoughts made me feel incredibly uneasy. Not that I could help it. "Hello, gorgeous" I turned to look at the woman now standing beside me, with a beautiful smile on her face. Her turqoise dress was sleeveless and it glittered under the lights. Her blonde hair was in a high ponytail and she was wearing b
I'll pick up the broken pieces of you. I'll hold you together and I'll fix you. I'll love you to health and I'll kiss the pain away.-------------BLAIR I gazed in awe at the beauty of Mikael's painting of me. He placed an arm around my waist, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips. "What do you think?" He asked and I grinned. "It's beautiful" I breathed. "It doesn't completely describe how beautiful you are, Blair" he said and my heart fluttered in my chest, butterflies erupting in my stomach. Decade after decade, only Altan has the ability to make me feel like a love struck teenager and that superpower of his, has not changed at all. I gazed into his indigo eyes with passion for him blooming within me, like the cherry blossoms. He gazed at me too, a tender look in his eyes."I don't regret any of it, Mikael. I don't regret meeting you. My soul chose you. You are my soulmate and although Hera tears us apart, we will always come back to each other, loving each other twice as
We both have demons that we can't stand.I love your demons like the devil can---------------------------------------MIKAEL A brilliant white was all I could see. I couldn't hear a single sound and there was nothing in sight. Nothing but a blinding white color of everything. I started to walk aimlessly. It felt like I was in some sort of maze. Try as hard as I could, I couldn't figure out where I was or what was going on. This did not sit well with me, so I was worried."My boy" I froze. I could recognize that voice anywhere. I swallowed hard, not wanting to turn around. There was a fear of the unknown that was quickly filling me. "My boy, won't you look at me?" said the voice again. I slowly turned around and came face to face with the woman who'd carried me in her womb and had been reincarnated several times for that purpose. She looked as beautiful as she'd always been. Her grey eyes searched mine, her lips curved into a bright smile. She was wearing a white dress and her
BLAIR "Why?" He breathed shakily."Why do you keep lying to me in order to protect me?" He asked and I cupped the side of his face. "I would lie to you if it meant that it would keep you from feeling the pain of knowing the bitter truth. But, I really don't know what this is about. We have talked about the fact that I used to commit suicide. But, I promised you that I wouldn't do that again--""When I asked you to tell me the people I'd killed, why didn't you tell me that using my terrible powers, I'd once murdered the woman who'd birthed me?" Altan said and I froze, my eyes widening. "You... know about that?" I breathed and he sighed, a downcast look in his eyes."While I was unconscious, I saw her""You did?""It was after I gained consciousness that I recalled what I'd done""You know it wasn't entirely your fault. If you could stop it, you would have. Please, don't be too hard on yourself" I said, pressing a kiss to his jaw. I embraced him and closed my eyes. He relaxed
There'll be mountain for us to climb,There'll be days when the sun won't shine,But, I'll stick to it,I swear.------------------------------------MIKAEL I stared at the rose imprinted on my upper arm, exasperated. The rose was still a bright red, fortunately for me. Just as I started to turn away from the mirror, I saw the rose turn blue. Then, it turned red as quickly as it had turned blue. Another wave of dizziness washed over me and I gripped the sink hard, my knuckles turning white. After a few seconds, the dizziness eased enough for me to walk out of the bathroom. When I walked into the bedroom, I found Blair sitting on my bed. She smiled when she saw me. "Lorenzo stopped by while you were still in the bathroom" she said and I slowly lowered myself onto the couch in my room. "Did he find out anything?" I asked and she sighed. "Not exactly" "Right" I muttered, resting my head on the head rest, my eyes slipping close. There was a throbbing in the back of my hea
BLAIR "What's that on the mirror?" He asked with his brows furrowed. He moved closer to the mirror, his eyes widening when he read the message on the mirror. "Blair?" He breathed, his gaze still fixed on the silvery surface."Yeah?""Is that--Is that blood?" He asked, his eyes wide with terror. I moved closer to the mirror and sure enough, I perceived the metallic smell of blood. "How...how is it here?" I said and Mikael clenched his fists, tensed."What is Hera up to this time?" he muttered under his breath. "I'll get rid of it" I said, taking his hand in mine. He still looked very upset and when I led him back to his bedroom, he nearly punched the wall. "Look, I know you're so upset about the fact that Hera has been messing with us, but until we find a way to defeat that bitch, there's really nothing we can do, Kael" I said and he let out an exasperated sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose. I got rid of the blood in Mikael's bathroom and for the rest of the night, we r
