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
I took the road less traveled by. The evening walk somehow awoke my inner ballerina. And so I twisted around in the summer wind.The first turn went well, the second not as much as I would have liked, but luckily no one was around to watch my embarrassing fall.It was when I waa rejoicing over this fact that it happened, my meeting with the strangest guest."A..aaa.ACHOOO." I sneezed not finding it surprising given the amount of time I get soaked these past few weeks."A...ACHOOOO."I sneezed again and the force almost knocked me off my feet, but I was steadied to my feet while a warm brown coat pulled over my shoulder."You might catch a cold walking around without a coat like that." Swiftly I turned taking a step back as I met with an unfamiliar face. Stromy tormented blue orbs peeked through delicate long lashes.The lightest shade of platinum locks and skin like jade reminded me of another blue eyed monster.William Isherwood, that is.As I lingered on the similarity between the
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
Silent readers. VOTE YOU GUYS!! *retains composure* love you!!We finally reached home barely surviving a long list of compliments, kicks, sweet smiles, sucker punches, sarcasm, hugs, blank faces and dodgy answers.The violence kindly contributed by me.It reminded me a lot of how things are when Will and me. The only difference being that we both had a fair share of bad behavior.My brain worked its blood dry working on perfecting the lie I was obligated to tell John and rest about Zeus's presence."That's a beautiful house you got, very fit for its beautiful owner."My blood boiled and steams flew from my ears for the tenth time in the last minute. I change my mind.I am just going to come up with a lie to excuse myself for murdering a God."And it's way younger than you," I pointed out and watched with a suppressed smile as his face fell.Margret, Theresa and John were found in the living watching Netflix. I found my work narrowed with all three present in the same place.But befo
"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 am happy that the Underworld is your home." It was only a whisper, but nothing seemed to miss the attention of the beautiful god."What was that?" he asked, a trace of something close to humour in his usual disinterested tone.I stayed silent hoping for the question to magically become un spoken, but I knew he was resolved to know when he poked my cheeks as if to check if I was still alive.Words, stupid words started sprouting out instantly. "You know because..because if I hadn't fallen into the well like I did, it wouldn't be you who I would end up meeting." "It might have been Zeus." My nose scrunched at the possibility. When he did not react, I got the confidence to continue. "I don't think anycome could love this world the way you do." I smiled and seeing how everything seemed awfully sweet I had to point out."But I had to treat this old greek god with a big ego." The emphasis on 'old' was cleverly made and t
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
Ààaaaaaaaaa?""Soo cute!" He exclaimed pinching my cheeks red. But no matter how I imagined my current expression to be, it was far from cute and too close to a shocked-sloth.Soon, his teasing was drowned remembering what I said to Hades. CONSEQUENCES, CONSEQUENCESI sigh, clapping my hands to get ahold of his wandering mind."So let's practice.""What?""What?" I echoed his question. "What?" he asked again totally confused."What?" I repeated.He sighs realizing that it was going nowhere. "What are you talking about?"I smile innocently at that."Did you think I was joking about you being my patient?" "What!!" He screams and I nod till he is satisfied. Doing my level best not laugh at the expense of his hopless face, I chirp. "So let's start." And take hold of his shoulders to assure him. "It will be painless." He audibly gulps and for a secon
