Hayley's P.O.V
He reached out his hand, and I took it, he gently pulled me off the bed, as he spoke,
"I must have killed you without intending to, my apologies for that. The lightning bolts weren't meant for you, but for that blabbermouth." He said, pointing towards the guy with golden–red eyes. "I'm Zeus, welcome to my house."
I couldn't contain my laughter, and he stared at me, cocking a brow. "Seriously? I thought I was dead, but, this joke is way too funny. Zeus? You're Zeus?"
A woman who hadn't spoken since walked towards me, she wore a white lace dress and her eyes were silver? Her hair an inky black. Her skin pale beige, like the rest of them.
"I'll take it from here, father." Her marvelous voice held secrets untold.
He nodded and moved back. "Hi, I'm Artemis. I know this is hard to believe, but, you're not dead. And like he said, he's Zeus. And that's his wife, Hera, and his brother, Poseidon." She said, pointing at the woman, and the huge man–guy sitting on the king sized bed.
This all sounded crazy, but, for some reason, I found myself believing her words. Then it hit me! The man guy had a trident beside him, and that explains their odd coloured skin. And eye colors. But, I still needed proof. Proof I wasn't dead, proof they were gods.
"Prove it."
The guy with golden–red eyes walked forward, and stretched his hand towards me, suddenly, his hand brightened, and hot rays of light, passed through it. As they glowed harder, I saw it! The sun. Apollo wielded the power of the sun. That explained his eye color.
"Apollo!" I exclaimed, wide-eyed.
She nodded, then he withdrew his hand, and the sun disappeared."Oh my God!" This was the luckiest day of my life!. I turned towards Zeus and Hera, bowing courteously, they smiled. I turned back to the rest of them.
The most beautiful woman I'd ever seen stared back at me, with a warm smile. She had white hair, emerald eyes, and pale beige skin. She wore a white dress.
"Aphrodite. Goddess of love and beauty." She spoke with a tender voice.
Another had dark hair, grey eyes. She wore a black basic bandeau. Her hair was twisted up into a bun, she was also beautiful.
"You're?" I asked curiously.
"Athena."
"Ohh" I exclaimed. " The one who cursed Medusa."
"Well, if you put it that way." She grimaced.
A guy moved forward, he wore a tank top, and Jeans. He held a golden winged staff with two snakes entwined around it. He had brown hair, and obsidian eyes.
Which kinda reminded me of the girl I'd met, with rainbow colored hair. Was she also a god?!"I'm Hermes" he said, smiling, with his hand stretched out for an handshake. I took his hand. He was surprisingly good looking, for a god of thieves.
He finally let go of my hand, and there was another beautiful woman I'd noticed, she was young, like Hera, but older than Athena and the rest. She wore a green sleeved dress, and her eyes were green, the kind of green healthy plants had, her hair, golden. Then it dawned on me.
She was "Demeter!" I blurted out. Persephone's mother. She nodded, giving my shoulders a light pat.
Since I'd come to recognize every single gods in the room, I still had one more question.
"I still need proof. Am I alive? Or dead?" All this felt like a dream.
Suddenly, Poseidon—as I've come to realize, stood up from the bed, I gasped at his height. I looked like an ant, compared to his elephant size, he was tall, and I found myself reaching just beneath his chest.
He pulled me towards him, his hand cupping my chin, as his thumb went back to stroking. His lips came down fast on mine, as he leaned down. They all gasped, staring at us, shocked. I was beyond shocked, but, suddenly, I found myself loving the tender feel of his lips on mine. My eyes shut themselves on their own accord, and I wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him down, deepening the kiss.
His hand gripped my waist, pulling me closer to him. His lips ravished mine like he'd owned them, his tongue found it's way into my mouth without permission. He sucked on my lower lips lightly. The kiss held words untold. Pain, yearning. I was surprised none of them in the room, tried to stop him from smouldering my mind with kisses.
"He pulled away, his voice husky as he spoke, "is that enough proof? That you're alive? "
I tried to keep my voice steady, as I'd gone breathless, and my voice raspy. I guess it was enough to prove I was alive and breathing!
" I guess so" I replied, pulling away from his grasp.
"Show her around." Hera spoke.
Artemis led me out of the room, and the others followed, except Zeus, Hera, Poseidon and Apollo.
"You seem to like this mortal, Poseidon." Hera mocked.
"She reminds me of someone" Poseidon responded, as his pause hung a few minutes.
" Do not bring a mortal into the businesses of gods!" Zeus warned.
"I'm afraid that can't be possible! If Hera wasn't here, we both know you would have wanted that mortal for yourself. And we both know you play the games of including mortals in god's affairs well." Poseidon scowled.
"Your lightning bolts are still in her." Apollo added.
"I know"
"Why?!" Hera asked.
" It seemed to be the reason why she is alive. It's now like a life source for her. If I take it out, she dies. She's a demi god now."
"What! That means she can wield the lightning bolt's powers?" Poseidon asked.
"Fortunately, she can, unfortunately, whenever she tries to harness it's powers, she'd explode"
" Explode? You're killing her all over again?!" Hera asked perplexed.
"She's a mortal, with a god's powers. It's too much for her. Too much it could kill her."
Apollo paced the room restlessly, before coming to a solid conclusion.
" Then we won't tell her about the powers in her. We'd keep her here till we figure out a way to either siphon it out of her, or prevent it from killing her."
Poseidon walked out of the room, back to the living room. Athena sat on the couch.
"Where is she?" He asked.
"She's with Artemis."
He walked away, towards her room.
After Artemis had shown me the nooks and crannies of Mount Olympia, and the mansion, she took me to her room. Her room was well furnished, and had several paintings of wild animals. There was an opening which made the roof a see-through.You could see the skies through it. Her room was decorated with white and silver. Her queen sized bed, had a silver bedspread on it."What would you like to eat?" She asked.I didn't have any appetite for food, I was too excited to, I was in a whole new world, a whole new level, and a whole new reality—with gods."I'm not really hungry. But I'll let you know once I do.""Okay. I'd leave you to freshen up. I'd bring you some clothes. There are some fresh towels in the closet." She said with a smile, before walking out.I walked to the closet, taking off my clothes, before wrapping up the towel. The door swung open, and I walked toward
Aphrodite's P.O.VI walked out of the house, riding my chariots pulled by sparrows, of course I could be seen by humans, but I had another route, besides, I couldn't be seen if I was way up in the sky.After getting to my secret hideout in the city, I headed towards my car, it was time to do things the human way. This hideout was only for my car, and chariot. Thankfully, Poseidon gifted me this car, two years ago.Once I'd driven far into the city, I had to stop, after the traffic lights hit red. A bike pulled up beside me, and the rider had an helmet on. A familiar feeling hit me. I'd noticed his skin was too pale for a human, his black shoulder-length hair had perfect red streaks. As I stared at the broad-shouldered guy with leather jacket, on the bike, I didn't know the lights were green now, and he rode away.Suddenly, it dawned on me. This was Golden
We both remained there, in the same position, panting from our little episode of sexercise. After a minute of raving breaths, he pulled out of me. Lifting me off the ground, I gasped in surprise."What now?" I asked with a grin."I can't seem to get enough. But I don't want to take you here." He said with the seduction tone back in his voice."So, where would you like to take me?" I asked, giggling." My bedroom. " He said winking, " but first, let's get you cleaned up."We headed towards the bathroom, and he helped me get out of the rest of the clothes I had on, while I helped him too. We locked lips in a passionate kiss, he lifted me up with our lips still entwined. We barely made it to the bathroom before he took me again.We slept on his bed cuddled, he spooned me, and I could feel his hot breath on my back. It's been almost an hour and we'd taken each other in wild wa
They all repeated the name like it was a spell to be chanted."Alright, Hayley. How did you find this place? It's been hidden, from mortals."How was I supposed to tell them I had found this place with clues from a video. If I did, I might have to tell them I came to make videos of them, to expose them to the world. They might not like that. What if It makes Zeus angry again and he zaps me? I might not be lucky enough to survive another lightning bolt! I had to think of something else." Oh! I- I can't really remember why I was at the mountain, I-" I grabbed my head in my hands, squeezing my eyes shut. As if trying to force out an imaginary memory."I just remember resting, and someone showing me the way here. I can't really remember why I came here. Or how"Apollo walked towards me, he patted my back as he spoke with a soothing voice,"Do not force yourself to remember. You m
"What the –" I huffed in exasperation."Don't bother yourself with him. You're under my protection. He'll do nothing" Artemis said."That god is definitely a Looney." I scoffed.She burst out laughing. I stared at her surprised Artemis could laugh at me calling her uncle a Looney. Well, I guess nearly everyone despised Poseidon. Finally she stopped laughing."Let's go to my room then, while we await Aphrodite's return."🧜♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♂️Artemis took me to her closet, and she made room for my stuffs while I'd stayed. As she opened a section of the closet, I couldn't help but stare wide eyed at it, there was a part of it stocked up with designer shoes. And another part of it with clothes and bags from famous brands.She just smiled when she saw my expression. As she opened anot
"of course. The most fairest of them all. The most beautiful. Only she is capable of mothering a god of perfection!" He spoke, with lots of pride in his voice." Wait, I thought Apollo was the perfect male figure? And 'mothering?' that sounds funny. " I said."Humph. I don't think you know the meaning of perfection. Perfection is love. It's sex. It's the relieve you get after coming back from a stressful work. Good sex is perfection. And there are no sexual desires without me. Imagine there were no sexual desires, this world would have been a boring place for all ye mortals." He paused, then eyed Artemis wearily,"Though, I kind of pity those who reject the sexual desires, and stay untouched. I see them as hypocrites who fail to appreciate the gift that has been given to them by me. I mean, what use are your body organs if you don't use them. You cannot even experience the joy of a good orgasm." He said and I could hear the disgust
You love him more than you love yourself. We all know you were married to Hephaestus! No matter what you do, you'd always be known as the concubine of Aries!"He got up abruptly and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him. She fell back on the bed as she wailed silently.He leaned his head against the wall and tried to suppress the anger rising inside of him. He shut his eyes tight to fight back a tear. He wondered why his mother was so selfish.He'd adored her, he'd loved her more than anything in the world. But she didn't love him as a son. It was always Aries! He flicked his eyes open."Time to pay Zeus a visit. "He strolled towards Zeus's room. For some reason, he hadn't seen Athena and Apollo. Well, their rooms were at the other side of the house. When he'd gotten to Zeus's room, he knocked."Come in" Hera said.He walked in and Zeus sat up, ju
I've been at Mount Olympia for nearly two weeks now. And– Oh! I finally called Zara. She cried, screamed and wailed like the drama queen she was. But anyways, I knew she was sincerely worried about me.Well, after finding out I was safe and didn't need to call the cops, long story short, Zara suggested I tell Zeus to let her come stay here too, but, Hera was strongly against another female mortal on Mount Olympia.Now I am finding it difficult to get rid of an obsessive Apollo! All thanks to Eros. And Poseidon, don't even get me started. It was like they were competing. I acknowledge the fact that Apollo was under a love spell, so he didn't have so much control on what he did, or his actions. But Poseidon, I don't even understand what had gotten into him!He always had different ways to try to woo me. A day before, he made pancakes, well, I'd refused, and tried to walk away, but he'd eventually succeeded in making me stay.&nbs
