Chapter- 2 Trial
The next day I woke up to someone opening my door.
"My dear it's time to get up." Cal said, walking over.
"Okay give me a minute." I said, covering my head. Trying to hide the fact that my face was exposed.
"What's wrong. You know you don't have to hide from me." He teased, ripping off my blankets. As I had my face in a pillow
"Oops where's your face mask? I didn't know your hair was white." He asked.
"I've lost it okay. I'm going to need something to cover my face." I said. He chuckled.
"Don't you think you were getting a little too old for it. Anyways sis you're a true god now. On top of that you're going to be picking partner soon. Don't want him to be able to see what he's got himself into. Most of them are going to pick your but based off your beauty anyways." He assured me
"That's why I'm keeping my face covered. I want somebody to like me for myself and not for what I look like." I said,
"Really I thought he was covered your face cuz you no offense were ugly." He whispered hesitantly.
"Yeah I thought the same thing till I actually seen what I look like. That's what my parents always convinced me. And I believe them turns out it was a lie." I said, not looking at him as he was trying his hardest to get a peek at me.
"Hey that is so cheating." I said, till started tickling me making me laugh. Till he could put me on my back.
"No now that.... Well I'll be I was wrong. But why on Earth if your parents are trying to marry you off to somebody. Would they have you cover your face." He whispered, to himself. While pushing my hair out of my face. Pinning me underneath him.
"Cal let me up." I said, as he moved only inches away from my face before inhaling my scent. He let out a low possessive growl. Realizing he wasn't listening to me. I used what he taught me to flip him off of me. Giving me enough time to grab a long cloth and wrapped around my face. Before taking off out the door. I ran to where my father was waiting tucked my hair in and before I walked in. All my suitors were there. But none of them seemed interested. I felt myself sitting down in my chair realizing. How much people didn't seem this is my first time. I've been around other gods and they didn't even notice me. My father made comments about me getting cleaned up. Putting on something more suited for a princess.
"How's that going to work if none of them can see my face. They only judge based on beauty. And you wonder why I only want to marry somebody actually likes me for me." I said, angerly before getting up.
"I've play by their rules long enough. It's time play by my own." I saidbefore ripping the clothes off my head. Letting my hair fall down freely. Letting the cloth fall to the ground and taking off out the door. I went to my favorite quiet place the garden where. I sat by the spring washing my face with the fresh flowing water. Looking at my reflection.
"He is so going to lock me up in a dungeon. For the rest of my life for that one." I sighed.
"Probably you did make quite a scene. We know that was you last night. Guess you don't need this back?" Zeus said startling me. When I realized he was right beside me.
"Zeus the heck trying to give me a heartattack." I've alerted and he laughed when I realized Hades was on my other side.
"The hell Hades?" I asked, when I realized he was holding my face mask.
"We came to give it back. But you took off so we followed you." Hades smiled. His smile was much warmer and kinder then I was expecting. But when he seen I was looking at him. He couldn't tear his eyes off mine.
"I honestly thought you covered your face because you were ugly. But your not ugly at all." Hades said, before Zeus reaches over and makes me face him.
"Strange your right she is quite beautiful. Indeed. Hate to ask but whats your name again?" Zeus asked, trying to be
"Brother she's one of the type of that goes by. More than one name dumbass. One is Selena right greek goddess of the moon. But what do you prefer?" He asked. I laughed hysterically.
"I can't believe you actually remembered." I chuckled,
Sorry people always over look me. I didn't expect you to know that. My first ever name my real one given to me though. Is Athena the Greek goddess of war and wisdom. But no one ever calls me by my real name. I have so many identities. My father doesn't even know about half of them. He only thinks I go by Selena and Luna. But he never anyone to call me by my real name. Kind of makes me feel like I have no identity at all." I replied looking into the water.
"So your Athena! We that she was a myth. Explains why you so strong. No one's even seen or met any Greek gods that go by Athena trust me I've looked. But I'm glad to finally unravel that mystery and you know. The rumors aren't wrong. They all say Athena is very beautiful. Aphrodite would be so jealous." Zeus replied, which made me slightly frown. When Hades put his strong big hand on my shoulder.
"If they know who you were they think different. Athena might be thought to be myth. But she's still highly respected. You just need to be yourself. Your perfect just the way you are." He assured me kissing my head. Catching me completely off guard.
"Thanks that makes me feel Hades. I never knew you were so sweet. You sneak up on a person." I smiled, affectionatealy. Making his face fluster cherry red. I couldn't help but chuckled. I never knew a big intimidating terrifing guy. Could be so absolutely adorable.
"I'm sorry I'm not making fun of you. But your reaction so cute."
"Holyshit I didn't even know. My brother could blush that's funny. Wait a minute does the king of the underworld have a thing for Athena because I I know for a damn fact you've been around plenty of females especially goddesses in you're never even payed attention or talked to any of them. Nor have reacted like that. You like her admit it. Is that why you always kind of avoided talking to her. In the past now that I think about it that makes me want to smoke why can't I figured it out sooner honestly I thought he just didn't like you.
No actually quite the Alps that ass whole. Even before I knew who she really was or what she looks like. And yes that's why I waited talking to her. Judge me. But she's probably too scared of me anyways. So I guess it really doesn't matter if she knows or not. Doesn't hurt for me to enjoy a ladies
Who is should I was right for once I was just joking birthday damn man you just flat out laid everything on the table. If there's one thing I know about you. Hades it that you're honest. Your never joked about how you feel.
Yeah well you know that's because I always get mine hurt just saying every girl ever runs for me why do you think I didn't tell her and you just came in there and Bash. All up when you going to let me at least pretend that way I can at least talk to her without feeling like and being a little creek you know I'm bad at hiding. My feelings especially when I know that somebody knows about it. Send me underworld dude what do you expect the one thing. I crave is the one thing I never get. Sorry thing I hope I didn't chase you away with spilling guts like that." He tried putting a smile but I could tell it was forced.
"You didn't chase me away goober least I know you're off I always have to be cautious of everyone. Its kinds nice having someone be. So straight straightforward for once. Believe it or not I actually honest people and I hate liars. Plus not to make you feel awkward kind of nice knowing that another God could possibly like me for who I am instead of everything else. My parents are in the fridge I'm going to be manipulated. That's why they have me on my face. China Buffets in the Thousand possible since I know how all the gods are. Nice know I was wrong about 1." I hugged, him. Which completely caught him off guard because he almost panicked. Till he looked down and seen. What I was doing. He had no idea how to react.
"I do not take that offensive at all either I know what's said about me. And besides this is the first time you've really ever talk to me. I wouldn't expect a goddess just met me for the first time 2 not be a little skeptical that's over kind of why I kept my distance I knew what they say about me and I know that you think I'm a monster." He looked down almost sorrowfully.
"None sence. Far from it actually. Because I know that rumors are always far from the truth I mean come on everybody thought. I was ugly do I look ugly to you. Not to mention I'm made up. When clearly I'm not. Never judge a book by its cover. I learned that a long time. Plus you were pretty as soon as you see my face we're to believe us my best friend lost his shit. I had to clean him off of me when he seen my face. But yeah I trust me you're good Hades you don't scare me one bit I know him on the other hand yeah I know how he can't keep his hands off of Pretty Woman. So honestly I'm probably going to need a new guard. Nothing against my best friend but I know that man has no control. Because earlier he was not listening to me at all and no offense. He touchy I'm going to hurt him. I don't like it when people are pushy she knows this and I'm not afraid to throw hands if he but overstepped his boundaries. Which he didn't couldn't actually. I wouldn't let him. That's one good thing about being a God of Wars that. I'm a lot more physically stronger. than most other gods are. So nobody try to kill him. But the only downfall he's my only friend. And we grew up together. He knows I can never like him like that. But you get the point most people will see my face they automatically try to pounce. You on the other hand made me feel safe. So trust me I can never see you as a monster." I assured him. Not even able to wrap my arms around him.
"Wait that little shit didn't want now. I promise I won't kill him. But you touch touch you did he?" They both asked simultaneously.
"No and besides all he did was put me down and try to kiss me. But he didn't I stopped him as soon. As I realized what he was trying to do. I am having my first kiss stole by a man. That I think of is my brother that's gross." I informed them making a disgusted face. But they both seemed interested when they registered when I said.
"Wait you've never even had your first kiss yet?" Zeus getting on the interest from my face trying. To make his voice sound as subjective as possible. See Zeus seduses the other goddesses with his voice.
"Nice try Zeus but I know your little trick. You ain't getting me with that one. No I haven't I might be a God of War but I take love very seriously. As in I think I should only be with one person. So of course I haven't." I chuckled as he pouted realizing. That I caught him. Hades laughed.
