Chapter Six
(Sorry this is corny LOL -Korri)
Mars POV
"I care about her too much," I mumble.
I walk back to Korri's room—wow I'm already accepting her like this?—and sit on the bed next to her.
I think about what's happened since I've met her:
I. I've talked to someone for the first time in YEARS
II. I no longer eat breakfast alone
III. I've ACTUALLY grown an attachment to someone (AS FRIENDS, ZEUS.) (And no matter HOW HARD she tries to deny it) she actually kinda cares
And I care about her (even though I have no clue why)
Just 'cause I played psycho.
"I'm sorry," I mumble. "I'm sorry I killed you Sol, and I'm sorry for screwing with Lola and Korri's lives. I'm a mega screw up, I know that Zeus, I've known that for years." I look up with my eyes closed, and listen to the heavy storm. "I'm sorry, just undo this damn curse-"
"NO!"
A voice shouts in my head.
Which for a NORMAL person would've killed,
But it just gives me a bad headache.
I WILL NEVER DO IT.
UNTIL YOU FIND PERSONS WILLINGLY GIVE THEIR SOUL TO YOU!
The voice booms through my head then the world pauses.

"Well, I see you learn quickly, son." Zeus says, impressed.
I hate it when he calls me that.
"Yeah, well I learn quickly."
"You know how it works-" Zeus starts, but I cut him off.
"'You can't have this blood demon leave unless I find 'someone who will willingly give their soul' to me, I know I know." I say, irritated, then I mumble, "Even though it's terribly corny."
He rolls his eyes—not as good as me!—and says, "You have good taste, son."
"What do you mean?"
I have ideas on where this is going.
"In girls," he shrugs, as if it is CLEAR that is what he's talking about. "The girl is fairly smart, decent, and nicely built. Her name is Korri, isn't it?"
I feel red creep up my neck, and I grumble, "No, me and Korri are NOT TOGETHER-"
"Then I assume you're into her sister then?"
"I AM NOT 'INTO' ANYONE! OKAY?!" I shout, and the clouds rumble.
"I'm just teasing you," he says, but I don't believe it worth a damn.
I put my hand to my head, wishing I hadn't asked to get rid of my curse thing. WHATEVER!
I can tell he wants to hug me, and try to play dad, but he knows I'd hate that.
We stand in the thick storm, in a matching silence.
I can feel blood pool in my fists and in my boots.
I can feel it run down my in one of the thickest streams of blood I could remember since the Aztec days.
"Look, all I'm saying is that you should-"
"'Look' yourself Zeus, I've already edited the way I wanna live to please you. I don't need to change it more. I need to get back-"
"Say no more."
And I'm back.
