I did not stick around for Will's explanation and sprinted out of the room only to come back soon after. "Will you be okay Greene?" The smile he had on faltered in a moment of surprise before he replied."I am healthy as a half-dead horse chased around by the God of death." He paused and suddenly as if he remembered he was meant to assure me he blurted out. "As healthy as a living-horse, who is not being chased by the God of death." I felt my forehead crease. "What I mean is that though the wounds were deadly being inflicted by Lord Hades himself and all, I am still..." He trailed off, realizing that he wasn't really "assuring" me in any way. Before he could speak again, it was Will who intercepted. "What he means to say is that he will be fine, you don't have to worry. I will look after him." "You would?" The question came at Will from both sides; Greene's astonishment no different from mine.Will nodded sparing none a single glance as he poure

I stared back at him, wondering where he had gotten such an idea. It would have been less surprising if he had simply said. "It's frustrating to see your pouty face, so I give you my apology and accept it!"A giggle escaped my lips imagining his poker face as he said those lines. Shaking my head, I brought my mind to reality. " I can't believe that..." I started, but took an unfortunate miscalculated step back and found no floor for support. And then as I noticed the side rails that I couls have caught onto, a brilliant idea set off in my crooked mind.Sporting a winning smirk and folded hands, I made no effort to save myself from peril.In a messy splash I was greeted by the currents of thr dazzling river. A more graceful and quiet splash followed and we emerged face to face, one with a smirk and the other a frown."You weren't going to drown." He announced looking up the flowers I upheld.I ģrinned, but the comeback died in my mouth in momentary distraction. Each droplet drippin

Beautiful but dangerous. As lightening dances through the Kingdom of books, I stare open mouthed from his declaration. Hades' brother?Coming to my senses, I decided to continue the ninja running episode, but I couldn't not before I could point out."The lightning is not helping,""Oh sorry." He sounded sincere as he apologised and the sudden change in his attitude made me curious, persuading me to listen."So you are Zeus?""I mean Lord Zeus." I corrected quickly not wanting to test his temper. And tried to do a courtesy by bowing to look respectful. Waving his hand he smiled in amusement. "It's cool. You can call me Zeus."I nodded, still in the same position."Look, you don't have to do that too." He said indicating me to straighten up."I can't."This confused him making him ask."What?" I laughed without humour. "Its like this, you see I stretched the leg at the back way too far. So if I were to move even an inch, I will fall."Taking note of the position of my legs realizat

"You know, you always have has an awesome entrance," I noted breaking the chilling silence. My comment fell flat it air without a word in acknowledgement from the other who adorning a silk black cloak kept his face hidden at all times.In the enchanting beauty of the land of death, its King strode along the narrowing path away from his castle to the glistening river, I have come to call mine.Of course, its not mine, but I have grown very fond of it."Are you going to take me back home?" I asked the King only to hear him snarl."No."Having enough of the cold personality, I stopped and realizing that I was no longer following him, he too came to a stop sighing. "Not until Zeus leaves." More composed than before he says."Why are you so angry?" I asked growing frustrated."Why were you even with my brother Elizabeth?" He hisses finally turning back.I sunk back suddenly slaughtered under the glare that could leave mere ashes behind. If we were charecters of a cartoon, my soul would h

I woke up to the familiar buzz of my phone and by the time my searching hands got hold, the call had already ended.Sighing, I brought it up to my face only to shoot up straight in fright. 1 miss call Big red5 miss calls Terror9 miss calls Mr. cool11 miss calls GirlfriendThe notifications read in that same order.Mer with call number one meant that I had to call back, IMMEDIATELY. Alexandra with 11 calls meant she couldn't wait to tell me something gossipy. And my mother lead with a total of 5 patient calls from her cell and 11 annoyed ones from dad's.I addressed the most terrifying, first and I was accused and scolded for calling back so late just so my mum could ask me. "Do you have hot water for bathing?"Attending to each case, I finally took another nap getting up an hour and a half later to find the cloak chiming at 12 noon.In habit I rubbed my eyes and whipped back my hair wh
