Hermes got ready to leave, tidying his desk making final adjustments summarizing his work, and preparing to sneak out.

He had not told Ivan yet, but he had found out about Sara's whereabouts, or rather Anna had found him and told him.

He planned to surprise him with her presence after their meeting and of course when she felt ready enough to see him.

Just as he got ready to go, his phone beeped with a notification. His face lit when he saw Anna's name but fell almost immediately when he read the content of the message.

Sighing, he sat. He backed down, contemplating continuing his work or just waiting for them to text when they were done with whatever was holding them up.

Anna had found him first after his attempt to talk to someone he knew which did not go as planned, he had recognized her almost immediately when she walked up to him and asked for a few minutes to talk.

Hermes remembered being so happy that he did not have to do much, the opportunity had fallen right into his lap.

    Eve woke up to her doorbell ringing, she was not expecting anyone and most definitely did not remember ordering anything for the morning.Groaning, she stretched her sore limbs as she struggled out of the bed and walked to the living room.The living room was a tiny yet cozy space, she had done some rearrangements when she arrived, making it to her taste and comfort.It was just big enough to fit a three—sitter comforter couch, a television, and a few decorations.It did not take her up to a minute to cross the little space to the door.“I'm coming.” She yelled as the doorbell rang again.Impatient much, she thought, and who rings someone's door at eight-thirty in the morning?“Good morning Miss.” She heard as she opened the door to a delivery man with a large bouquet of flowers.“Good morning,” Eve answered, squinting her eyes at him. “Are you sure you have the right house?” She asked.“Yes miss, are you Miss Eve?” The man asked, glancing at his notepad. “Yes,” Eve answered.“These

Marilyn came to the door and opened it, staring at Catherine in surprise.Catherine could understand why they had not seen each other I a few weeks, they had not even spoken, which was new to them. They were usually joined at the hips.“Marilyn,” Catherine called first, as she stared at her best friend.“Catherine,” Marilyn said weakly.She looked very pale, frail, and sick, and Catherine's eyes widened in horror. Pushing the door open, Catherine stepped into the house.The place looked trashed like it had not been cleaned for weeks.“What happened Marilyn?” Catherine asked. Concern and confusion laced in her voice.“Anderson has been missing.” Marilyn said with tears brimming the corners of her eyes. “, Well, I don't know if he is Missing, or he just ran away, but he has been nowhere to be found for the past few weeks” she finished “What?” Catherine asked, unable to believe her ears. “Yes, Catherine,”

    Eve had mixed feelings about riding in 'his dad's' truck. She doubted she would be comfortable in it, and Gede could tell from the look on her face.“I'll get the door for you.” He said, helping her to it.“I don't know where to show you first, Bali is so beautiful, one could never explore all of its beauties in one day,” Gede said as they drove on.“Is that a subtle way of telling me you want to take me on another date sometime?” Eve asked with a laugh.“Is it that obvious?” Gede asked in return, looking at Eve with feigned surprise.A few minutes later, Gede drove past the town's big mill, pointing at things and explaining in detail, giving Eve an intricate history of each thing she pointed out, and answering her questions effortlessly.Slowly, Eve forgot about the car, focusing mainly on Gede and getting to know the history of this beautiful place.Gede noticed her body language change slowly, she seemed more at ease and open, unlike when they had first left, she was tensed and rat

Shall we?” He asked, gesturing towards the door.Both women exchanged knowing looks before turning to the door and walking out.Ares tried to read Anna's aura but could not, she had built a strong protective wall around her, and it was impossible for him to read her.Sara, on the other hand, had a clear aura, he could not read anything from it, and it was frustrating as he did not know whether she did that purposely or it was just how she was.The walk to the car was quiet, as neither of the women uttered a word, and I just followed behind.“So, what exactly were you girls planning today?” Ares asked, just to be certain he was not just jumping

    Ivan stalked back into the house after a while, his hands looking bloody, walking in and heading straight for the kitchen.Running his bloodied fingers under the water, he rinsed off quietly. He had broken his promise of not taking the god form until he told Vera. But he could not help it, that needed to be dealt with, and he did just that.Slipping the ring back onto his fingers, he took back his human form.Tearing the shirt off his body, he threw the bloody material into the bin.On second thoughts, he took it out, shuffling through the bin and putting it at the very bottom.And fishing for bleach, he scrubbed at the sink to get rid of the smell of blood, Vera was very observant and would probably notice if he left things carelessly.He walked back upstairs after staring at his work and nodding his head in satisfaction.Vera was still curled up on the bed in a deep sleep, her hands around herself and one left outside the duvet.Ivan scooted her properly on the bed, throwing the co

    Sara stood still in his embrace, he felt very familiar, everything about him did, his smell, his touch, and even his voice.When he finally let go of her, she did not say a word, she just stared at him intensely and took her seat beside him.“We have been looking for you for so long, you have no idea.” He said, gazing at her.“We?” Sara asked, her eyes lighting up.“Yes,” Hermes answered. “Me, Ivan, and the entire sect of the old gods.” “You all have been looking for me?” Sara asked again to be certain she heard right, all this while she had thought she had no people or family, the whole time she had a whole one looking everywhere for her.“I am glad we finally found you,” Hermes said with a smile.“I am glad you did,” Sara said, getting emotional.“I told Ivan about you, he was so happy and wanted to come too, but I did not know. If that was okay seeing as it was our first time meeting.” Hermes said. “Oh,” Sara exclaimed.“Yeah, so I asked her to let me come first, and maybe some o

Vera gasped at whom she saw behind them.“Artemis?” She called out in surprise “This can't be” Vera said, laughing.“It is being Vera,” Artemis said, walking to stand in front of Vera and crouching down to her level, ok the seat.“Is this some kind of joke?” Vera asked surprised.“No Vera, I wish it was, but it is not,” Artemis said in a strict tone.“Does Ivan know what you are up to?” Vera asked her.“I won't tell if you don't tell,” Artemis said, cocking her head to one side and staring up at her.“He is

    Athena sighed as she rolled over in bed, it was one of those days when she would rather not in bed than get up for any reason But she had plans, and with the company being her sole responsibility now since Ares embarked on the journey of finding his child, she needed to be at the office.Rubbing her eyes for a few minutes, Athena finally rolled out, sitting at the edge of the bed and contemplating if all this was really worth it.Or perhaps she could ditch work and everything else for the day, fall back into her bed, and pretend none of it even existed.Scolding herself, she pushed off the bed and headed for the bathroom to get ready.Getting right into it, she did her morning business. Brushing her teeth lazily as she sat on the toilet bowl.Tearing her pajamas off her body when she was done, she trudged into the shower Putting on and letting the cold shower cascade down her back. Exhaling sharply as the cold cut through her skin, giving her goosebumps. It was precisely what she n
