“No!” Ivan yelled when he saw the dirty booth marks on the clean wooden floor.They were not Vera's, they were big and looked like they belonged to men about their size.“It's still a little wet.” Hermes pointed out, bending to inspect the marks properly.“They were here not too long ago, and they took Vera with them.” Ivan guessed.“Let's check outside the house,” Hermit suggested.“Okay,” Ivan said, following him. “How did they get in here,” Ivan mumbled to himself.“We will never know,” Hermes said, leading the way out of the house," only one way to find out.” “There are tire marks here,” Ivan said, squatting down to get a better look.“ Looks like it belongs to a van,” Hermes said, staring at the tire marks.“Where do we begin the search?” Hermit asked, “Should I call for backup?” He asked again.“No, not yet.” Ivan said, getting up and dusting himself, “Keep them on alert, though, we might need some backup.” He said walking to inspect other parts of the house.“We should involve

“Sara,” Anna said looking at her with tear-filled eyes, “you don't understand, Ares trusted me, with almost everything.” “I know that, Anna,” Sara said, wiping the tears that threatened to fall from the corners of her eyes.“We had a plan and everything but I… I just could not watch him keep you away from your people.” She continued, “I had to choose between doing what was right for you and keeping my loyalty to Ares.” “Look at me, Anna,” Sara said, shaking her shoulders gently and urging her to look. “You did the right thing, and it is not your fault if Ares does not see that, okay.” “Okay,” Anna said, nodding, and wiping at her face, trying to gather herself before they walked in.“Ready?” Sara asked. “Ready” Anna answered, exhaling long and loud.Sara knew he was in, she expected him, his car was parked carelessly outside and one of his headlights was still on, it was daytime so she wondered why he had it on in the first place.Ares raised his head when he heard the door open,

Vera sat on the floor, still and silent. She had stopped struggling to untie the ropes that held her feet and hands bound together, as it had proved futile despite her efforts.The world seemed to be tranquil the whole time she had been here, and time was something she had no knowledge of currently, so she could not decipher how long she had been in here.She surveyed her surroundings, her hand resting on her knee for support, she guessed it was almost evening already as it got colder.Her teeth clattered as she shivered from the cold that seeped into her body from the thin fabric of her pajama shorts and shirt, which originally was Ivan's.She could feel the onset of a migraine and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as the world spanned before her eyes, she was dizzy and lightheaded.Lulling her head back, she rested it on the wall, her eyes falling shut, and she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.“We have other things to attend to,” Ivan said, getting tired of her gimmicks, “s

“Can we talk?” Ares asked when Sara finally left her room the next morning.“Good morning to you, too,” Sara said sarcastically with an eye roll.“Good morning Sara.” Ares said “Sorry” he muttered.“What do you want to talk about?” Sara asked as she walked into the kitchen with Ares following close behind her.“About yesterday and every other day before that,” Ares said. “What about it?” Sara asked, pouring herself a bowl of cereal.“I am sorry, Sara,” Ares said, walking over to her side.“Ares please…" Sara started.“No, please let me.” Ares pleaded.“Okay,” Sara said, sighing as she made her cereal.“I am so sorry, Sara, I should have known better.” Ares apologized.“I thought I was doing the right thing, but I was not, and just like you and Anna said yesterday it was out of my selfish desires and I did not realize that until yesterday,” Ares said, walking closer to her.“Look, Sara, I love you, so much and it hurts me to know that I hurt you that much. I should never have kept yo

“What?” Ivan asked, surprised.“I am sorry, Ivan,” Hermes said repentantly. “ I should have told you earlier.” “What do you mean, Hermes,” Ivan asked again.“During the war, I, Artemis, and Hera were in the same faction, and during the fight Artemis was supposed to cover for Hera, but she did not, so Hera got hit and Sara tried to dive in to save her and got blasted herself.” Vera sat there clueless about what they were talking about, whole Ivan stared at Hermes like he had just developed horns.“Look, I'm sorry, man.”Hermes apologized. “ No number of apologies will suffice, but I was blinded, and I am sorry I let that happen.” “You kept that away from me all these years," Ivan asked.“Yes,” Hermes said truthfully.Ivan turned to look at Artemis who was now crouched on the floor in pain, With one swing of his hand she grunted even more, rolling until she tumbled onto the floor, crashing dead.Hermes shit his eyes, looking away from the sight, while Vera gasped in horror.Ivan turne

Ares had been doing well. Keeping his mind off Sara does past few hours, has been hard, but he has learned not to let everything be about her to him.He needed to be his man, to be able to be her man. Athena had noticed his more focused self at work and had applauded him, it was good to see that Ares was finally able to start taking advice.Usually, he was defiant and stubborn, but it was a good sign that he had at least thought about what she said and taken appropriate action.“You look better.” Athena commended when he showed up at work the very next day looking sharp and smart.“I feel better,” Ares said as he walked into the office.“I can see that,” Athena said, nodding proudly.“Did you get my message last night?” He asked as he took his seat behind the desk.“Uhm, yes, I called the Investors, and luckily, we still had a few that still had some faith in us, so I persuaded them to make the rest of the group agree to the meeting today,” Athena said, scribbling on her iPad.“Thank

Ivan stared at the closed door, his heart raced, and a cold sweat broke on his forehead as he anxiously paced the room.He continuously rubbed his palms together out of habit, glancing at the clock every few minutes and staring beneath the stairs for when she came down.His breath caught in his chest when he heard the bedroom door creak open and Vera calling for him.“Ivan?” She called. “Down here.” He said as he waited for him at the foot of the stairs.“Where are we?” Vera asked when she saw him.“Oh, my other house, I figured after what happened there earlier today, it would be a little triggering to take you back there.” He said, taking her hand and helping her down the remaining stairs.“Thank you,” Vera muttered, walking to one of the couches and helping herself to a seat.“My head aches,” Vera said, wincing as she leaned her head back on the couch.“I have some pain medications and I ordered some food, did not know what you would be in the mood for so I just got a bit of every

Eve sat curled up in a ball, as she thought about all that Ares had said. He did not say much, but he had said just enough to cut deep into her.Her phone dinged will the message from Gede and she turned to look at it. He was asking how she was.With a sigh, and without a second thought, Eve texted him back, telling him she did not feel good and asking if he could come over.Her face lit up when her phone dinged again almost immediately, and it was him.“I am on my way. Do you want me to get you anything, anything at all?” He asked Eve texted back a no and sat back, waiting patiently for him to arrive.A few minutes later, a knock on her door woke her up from sleep, she realized she had dozed off for a bit.“Hey,” Gede called when she opened the door, a small bouquet in hand and a gift bag.“Hey,” Eve said, smiling at the sight of him“I know you said you did not want anything, but I could not come see you empty-handed. So I got you these.” He said, handing her the bouquet and gift.“
